I i have been giving thought to tho

this In'*', something more
^C^criptivc and impressive than the
Kid forms, such as: "At Heat, Sleep
For instance, a good cook would
ossibly appreciate an epitaph like
"She fed the hpttgry and knew
t.,. onions. . she left her heirs in
Ke butter."
I A successful farmer should have
his on his tombstones "He labored
or his loved ones but Wall street

I.A nice car'driver would want this
aid of him: "He never cut corners,
nd he stayed on his side of the

"He mended the soles of

.This would possibly suit an intel ^ent
electrician: "His passing was
shock. He kept up with current
vents, but he's gone home to dy .How
about this for a suicide:
Gangway! Bam! Bam! Bam!! (He
Biissed the first 2 shots.)
.This form should be satisfactory

...of their worldly possessions."
.A professional deadbeat could slumHer
peacefully beneath this epitaph:
He dodged everything but death,
ay he keep on a-dodging."
.A lazy man ought to appreciate
nice expression like this: "Sleep

I A WEEK END VACATION
_ (Sunday)
Today ends our vacation. And toBay
is the Sabbath, commondy called
unday by the Baptists, the Lord's
ay by tho Unknown Toungersr-and
c Day of Rest by the Millions Liv^ g
Will Never Die creed. All of
"died-in-the-wool" A. R. Presby rians
call it "Sabbath," of course.,
d we feel mighty sinful riding a-'
tound today, but we've got to got;
back home so's the kid can go to'
school Monday, ain't we?
..As previously stated, the highways
are full of trucks... .and lot
me add, they ure also full of cows '
and hogs and goats. Funny thing
about this Georgia and Florida cattle:
if you buy a cow on the hoof for
beef purposes, why, she's just a plain,
everyday cow; but if you run over
her with your Ford and send her hide
into eternity, she's a "Pure-bred Jersey
or Ilelsingford, sired by Uka-lalie
land dammed by General Sherman,"
price $160.00, net cash.... before you
drive a foot further. We didn't even
hit a goat, thanks to my good chauffering.
..We saw hundreds of folks hunting
work, but about every 08 out of the
said hundred looked like they were
afraid they'd And a job. Never ran
across anybody hungry or begging.
That's good news. We took a 15
cent boat ride in order that we might
see natures wonders in the bottom of
a lake, but we had to pay $1.00 for
this venture. Ain't it funny how
some folks can charge all they please
for just any old thing? They are
in the Same boat with the telephone
people and the railroad owners and
the power companies... .still maintaining
war-time rates.
! . .We got lost once and asked an old
man how to get somewhere else. He
said, "You just keep on a-going till
you turn to the left, then take the
first fork at Mr. Smith's, and then
keep the straight road till you come
to the cross roads.... where you can
turn off again, and after you goua
heap further down that road, jupt
veer to your left for a while and then
veer back to the right and then you
can almost see Hattieville." We
thanked him again and began to
study our Toad maps again. He was
a Hoover-Democrat, and naturally he
did not know .the way out.
.. We got home 2 hours ahead of our
schedule and what you reckon? We
had driven that Ford so fast that the
manifold busted and fell off when we
'drove tip'Tflto" our front yard/. .*. jiist1
burnt plumb up, that's all.... and 2
more dollars wasted. I am sleeping
better since this 4-day vacation came
into my life, but am still worrying
some about high-priced hotel rooms
and low-priced farm products. Every
person ought to go away from home
occasionally so's he can find out what
a wonderful place his home town is
and what a comfortable bed his old
bed is.
The Georgia highway department
on April 21 will a>vard road contracts
totaling $1,500,000 to $2,000,000.

Poultry Progress
Shown Over State
Clemson Colleger"April 18.?Representative
items of poultry news from
county farm agents over the state,
as given below, show that poultry
raising is more thap ever a paying
industry *onv South * CaWhna farms, i
These stories tell about more and
better poultry houses and equipment,
growing and mixing feeds, feeding
out broilers, and the sale W poultry
and eggs.
"Between 175 and 200 brick brooders
are in operation in Lancaster
county," Rays W. F. Howell, farm
agent, who reports more than 30,000
chicks being brooded in this manner.
In Newberry county P. B. Ezell reports
increased interest in poultry as
shown by the large number , of new
brick brooders and poultry houses,
and R. H. Lemmon, Fairfield county
agent, says in this connection, "Every
farmer is loud in praise of brick
brooders which are giving complete
satisfaction, and most .farmers aie
losing very few baby chicks. Ernest
Carnes, Spartanburg county agent,
tells of a cooperative plan between
the county agents and members of
the Kiwanis Club whereby several
thousand baby chicks have been distributed
to 4-H club members.
Claude Rothell, Saluda county
agent, reports the broiler crop moving
to market as fast as birds are
finished, nearby cities consuming the
entire output at 25 cents per pound.
In lower Carolina, from Orangeburg,
County Agent R< F. Kolb reports that
cooperative truck shipments of poultry
brought 119 shippers $1,219.96.
T. A. Bowen, Pickens county agent,
reports his usual monthly shipment,
with 11,000 pounds of live poultry
bringing $1,407 to 200 farmers. G.
H. Griffin in the neighboring county
of Oconee reports that during the
past four months five carloads of live
poultry have moved from the county,
netting 1,747 farmers $11,975.66.
Old Water Mill Still
Grinding Out Flour
Warren, O., April 16.?Many depressions
have rolled past the old
water mill at Phalanx, O., five miles
west of here, but despite its age,
it continues to grind out flour.
The mill, built in 1815, has been
remodeled several times. It was
constructed by Eli Barnum, one of
the Connecticut settlers and a relative
of P. T. Barnum. of circus fame.
Had it gone to steam, gasoline or
electricity, say the owners, it would
have gone out of business long ago.
It is operated by a firm known as
F. A. and A. G. Rood. These men
were cousins, and the property now
is in the hands of three sons.
A Philadelphia court last week
sentenced five members of "the sixfoot
gang," including two former
policemen, to prison for a period of
[101% to 200 years. The two policemen
got 30 to 60 years each for holdup*.

Local Airplane
Breaking Records
Believe it or not, but right here at
the Woodward airport an airplane
has remained in the air continuously
without refueling for the remarkable
period of 120 hours, at the present
writing 6:30 p. m., the plane having
gone up at 6:30 p. m. Saturday. Remarkable
also is the fact that the
ship is without a pilot?or passengers.
These are just 'plane facts.
Impossible, you say? Radio control?
A joke? No.
Messrs. Block & Tackle are the
gentlemen who took the airplane
aloft, and the job of maintaining it
there is held by plenty of good, stout
rope. The plane, an "Eaglet," is suspended
to a steel girder in the local
hangar, in an attitude of serene
flight, awaiting its future owner who
will claim it at the big two-day Air
Circus to be held here soon. This
event will attract to Camden airmen
and spectators from all parts of the
country, and will furnish many
breath-taking thrills to those who attend,
to say nothing of a chance to
win a real licensed new airplane.
Other gala events are being planned
along with the air show, the date
of which will be announced soon.
In the meantime "Clyde" White,
as he is familiarly known, the thoroughly
experienced and government
ncensea pnot at tj&c. airport makes,
daily flights with passengers, who are
enjoying the beauty of the scenery
from the air. Especially at this
springtime of the year is Camden
beautiful from the air, and numerous
passengers are discovering a new
Camden, from a hirdseye view. It
is quite interesting to run your eye
down the green-bordered avenues,
discover the familiar landmarks, and
finally locate your own home, which
seems to have shrunk to doll-house
proportions. And then on your way
hark to the 'port you survey the
yellow, winding Wateree?flowing away
in the distance, and the placid
blue factory pond under your feet.
Mr. .White is a flyer whose flrst
consideration is the comfort and safety
of his passengers, and the fact
that he has flown ships for about
twelve years without an accident, attests
to his ability as an airman. He
will continue to give daily flying
service, with special features on Sundays.
