A WKKK-EN1) VACATION
(SMwxUuy)
. . 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.

vacation follows next week.)

Kershaw Youth
Shot In Stomach
Curtis Twitty, a young man of
Kershaw, is in a very serious condition
at a Camden hospital as the
result of a pistol wound which ho
received in the cafe operated by
Foster Truesdale on last Sunday
evening- According to information
received here Twitty with two companions
entered the lunch room on
| last Sunday night and acted in a very
disorderly manner. 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.

room on Highway 2G near to the

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

Lost 20 lbs. of Fat
In Just 4 Weeks
Mrs. Mae West, of St. Louis, Mo.,
writes: "I'm only 28 yrs. old and
weighed 170 lbs. until taking one
box of your Kruschen Salts just 4
weeks ago. I now weigh 150 lbs. I
also have more energy and furthermore
I've never had a hungry moment."
Fat folks should take one half I
ten spoonful of Kruschen Salts in A. I
?iass of hot water in the morning beore
breakfast ? it's the SAF*E.
harmless way to reduce as tens of
thousands of men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for and
get Kruschen at any drugstore?the
cost fojr a bottle that lasts 4 weeks
is but a trifle and H after the first
bottle you art not joyfully satisfied
with reaulU?money back.

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.
