The cotton fanners in (luorgia said they were too poor to try to raise another boll. The pig growers ed that they didn't get enough money for their shoats to pay for the fences they rooted down. The cattle raiser claimed that he would have been better oil' if his cows .had died in infancy. The turpentine producers stated that they couldn't afford to "chip" another tree. * Q ?..We passed through a pepper section. That business wasn't so hot either. The boys claimed that they never got enough for their product last season to pay for the empty cans. The peach peddlers were on the verge of going nutty because of low prices. The peach manufacturers informed us that it was cheaper to let the peachoa rot 011 the ground than put them on the market. ..Oranges were so plentiful that they were in the way. Florida i$ packed full of trucks. And trucks have done much to save the citrus situation. The orange grove owner simply "pics" the truck-peddlers on to his vineyard and charges them a few dollars for tramping up the ground. Oranges ain't worth boxing up. Why, the box-makers claim that the crate and box business is off*65 per cent....and it is. The truck drivers simply dump a t<?n or two of the fruit into their instalment buses, and pull out. But they charged me lit) cents a dozen for oranges just across the fence from a grove. That fence permitted them to make that sale. '..The celery exchange boss said his organization had already lost $300,000.00 this year. Too much hot weather, too little demand and a surplus of rotten politics to keep taxes too high. Tourists were visible in some places. Most of them are as poor as I am: I know, I watched them eat at the cafes. Very few chauffeurs were seen: the old man or the lady is driving the car this season, due to the Wall street debacle. ..My wife htys some rich kinfolks in Florida, but I didn't know it till she got up enough nerve to call them on the phone. .. ."We are just passing through and wanted to say howdy do to you." She was prevailed upon to drive by for a,minute at least. We drove by and it was fatal to the family. They were so sweet and cordial and so glad to see us..that they asked us to please spend the night and that's just what we spent. And talking about hospitality: why, we had the best time I ever heard of. Fine fonH imtyri folks, cr.d everything else that it takes to make a body happy. I . .Got a telegram from home about 8 o'clock which said: "Pipes all busted, business dull, bank says overdrawn, coal out, nil well except Sue and Jennie. Hope you all having a nice time. We ain't." It was signed by a member of my firm and family. (The fourth and last report on this vacation follows next week.)

Mr. Truesdale, who was bohind the counter at the tim<? the young men entered, says that Clyde Holley. one of the boys with Twitty, cursed him and said that they were going to give him a beating. According to Truosdale the hoys jumped over the counter and attacked hjm but the proprietor of the place was able to reach a pistol which was in a neai by drawer. and he ftrfcd a shot which entered Twitty's stomach. The wounded man was taken to a Camden hospital where it is said tnat he is in a serious condition as it is believed that the bullet went through his liver. f The three boys who are alleged to have attacked Truesdale are Clyde Holley, Curtis Twitty and James Broom. Mr. Truesdale says that Clyde Holley seemed to be the instigator of the assault upon him. After Twitty wa? shot* the other two boys who were with him tied. ^ doctor was summoned immediately and since his condition was serious he was rushed to the hospital. Mr. Truesdale operates a lunch room on Highway 2G near to the Kershaw Cotton Mills.?Lancaster News. THE WAY IS CLEARING Reports from cities in various parts of the ^outh and southwest show that in Spite of the depression a very encouraging number of industries have been established. Some of them were moved from other sections to the Southern States. Where work of Industrial Boards and Chambers of Commerce has not lagged, it has brought very worth while results,. Except for the serious business situation, the number of new plants would probably have broken all previous records in the past two years. There never has been a time when southern resources and southern opportunities were so generally recognized by the nation's industrialists. We look for this movement to grow and multiply from now on. The way of progress is undoubtedly becoming clearer. Clouds of distrust are slowly vanishing. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation in its great power will be most helpful where help is needed. Steel output is making progress. Automobile manufacturers made larger sales at the New York show than have been made for two years. So many predictions have proven worthless perhaps it is not wise to venture, but we believe before long the banks of the country will find it unnecessary to restrict credit as drastically as has been done, and business will get a better hearing. Inventories are at their lowest point for years and needs are multiplying. There can be but one answer if we keep our heads?not to be panic stricken by the sums owed us by other countries?not in what we believe to be the last hours of depression to resort to radical and visionary steps, some of which are being urged upon the congress. A shoulder to the wheel on the part of everybody, and to buy as our needs and our ability permit, will help mightily. ? The Manufacturers Record.

I Grow Own Feed Says Poultry Leader Pv ' (mfaison College, April 12.?Thati 80 per cent of the cost of keeping chickens is feed cost is shown in records on demonstration flocks for the past four years, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman, calling attention to the fact that grain planted now to feed chickens next winter will help to keep this feed cost at a minimum. With existing selling prices of eggs and poultry, Mr. Gooding urges economical practices in producing them if a profit is to be made, practices that should involve the least outlay of cash. To guide in planting feed crops for| the chickens Mr. Gooding calls attention to the following figures. In order to bring 100 pullets to laying age it is necessary to begin with about 300 chicks. From this number about 140 cockerels and culled pullets are usually sold or consumed as broilers. The two home-grown ingredients that will form 80 per cent of the ration requirements are 45 bushels of yellow corn and 17 bushels of wheat. This, plus 20 per cent of commercial ingredients, mixed in formulas which may be obtained from county agents, will carry 100 pullets to five months of age. As feed requirements for 100 hens for 6ne year Mr. Gooding lists 100 bushels of yellow corn, 25 bushels of wheat, 800 pounds of meat scraps or fish meal. The ingredients prepared and mixed in formulas which can be secured from the extension poultryman or the county agents will feed 100 laying hens for one year. Py estimating the yield of corn and wheat per acre which can be expected from his land the farmer can determine the number of acres of corn and wheat necessary to feed his flock of birds. Old Rural Carrier Dies At Bishopville Mr. B. L. Witherspoon after a short illness departed this life Friday, April 1, at his home in Bishopville. The hour of his death was 12:45. Funeral services were held at Mt. Elon Baptist church on Saturday. Th<. services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Turner, Rev. Wade H. Griffin and Rev. D. M. Mclver.'- lie was born in Darlington county September 16, 1805, and was 06 and 1-2 years of age. The interment was in the church cemetery. Mr. Witherspoon was in the rural mail service. iHe had seen about thirty years of service and had been retired by the government about nine months ago. He was a very faithful and popular carrier and his faithful services and cheerful presence were missed on his route when he retired. He was of a quiet, peaceable nature and was a man who attended strictly to his own business. He had a distinct record as a carrier. We doubt whether there is one of a similar nature in the service. He. for seventeen years rode a thirty mile route on a bicycle. He was married 41 years and the following members of his family survive: Mrs. Witherspoon, the wife; Mrs. F. E. Atkinson, Camden;' Mrs. S. N. Welsh, Elliott; Mrs. S. E. Skinner, Hartsville; Mrs. T. A. Alford, Lancaster; Misses Mary and Wilhelmina, Canton and Raymon, the children.?Bishopville Messenger. George R. Meyercord, after working on his invention for six years, on Friday demonstrated at Chicago a new cotton picken which he says will do the work of 60 pickers. The machin^ with many revolving cogs, passes over the cotton, the cogs removing the staple from the burs. Jack Gu/.ik, lieutenant of A1 Capone, is now starting on a five-year term at Leavenworth, Kan., for dodging the income tax, Guzik, in charge of officers left Chicago in a luxurious private car. Uncle Sam will collect $832,990 in taxes from his estate. Mrs. Ella Mae Bjorkman, 32, of Asheville, N. C., was found in her hotel room at Nice, France, on Saturday suffering from poisoning and with her wrists slashed. The police say they established the fact that the woman cut her wrists and took the poison with suicidal intent.
