Keynoter Assails
Republican Party
4 i .
Columbia, S, May 18.?-George
Hell 'Timmerman, of Hatesburg, keynote
speaker at the Democratic state
convention, asserted t<?<lay the American
people are now, "and will continue,
in revolt against existing conditions."
"Twelve years of Republican misrule,"
ho said, "have convinced them
thut they must look elsewhere ior
for leadership, if the government and
I the people are to be extricated from
[the difficulties that threaten the financial
stability of the government, i
-Uwv economic recovery of the nation
and the industrial rehabilitation of
every class of business."
Timmerman was elected t Mnporary
chairman of the convention in a contest
with H. W. Crouch, candidate of
the farmers and taxpayers league.
The voto was 202 1-2 to 144 1-2.
His speech, a broadside against
Republican rule, touched but briefly
on state issues.
"Local taxation," he said, "has become
burdensome, and the people aro
demanding relief. I am glad that
our last legislature made a move in
the right direction, although not far
as some thought it wise to go. * * *
"Our present economic difficulties
did not come to us .overnight and
they will not leave us so quickly."
The speaker referred to the two
Republican factions in the state. Af-j
ter asserting "we are rapidly approaching
the time" * * when the
dominant political party is depending
on the public treasurer to satisfy
its political obligations" and citing
the number of persons receiving
support from the federal government,
he said:
"We see evidences of this condition
in the existence of two Republican
factions in this state, both of
which are sthndingXby waiting for
the distribution of-public patronage.
One is the ?blacks and "whites, headed
by Tolbert; and the other, the whites
and blacks, headed by Hambright."
Applause greeted the reference.
Timmerman said that in the twelve
years of Republican rule since the
"brilliant and courageous Woodrow
Wilson" surrendered the reigns of
government, the people "have suffered
more at the hands of the government
than ever before during any
like period since the birth of the
nation."
In his concluding remarks he said;
"We may boast of our civilization,
point with pride to our prowess and
proclaim our resources, but of what
avail is all this when life and property
are menaced by the racketeer,
when liberty is destroyed by jaw,
when property has lost its value and
when the pursuit of happiness is a
chase without a hope.
"However dark the picture may appear.
I do not despair. The people
are aroused; and I am convinced that,
under consecrated and intelligent
leadership, they will return to the
faith of their fathers and establish
this government on the fundamentals
of its creation. * *
"To the fulfillment of this great
mission the Democratic party is, and
ought to be pledged." ,
The speaker previously had expended
his statement about the state government
as follows:
"1 am sure ij is the will of the j
people and I have every confidence j
that, with the close of Pur next gen-!
eral assembly, South Carolina Will
have a balanced budget, a workable
plan for early retirement of the state
deficit and a reduced ta-x levy on visible
property."
Mrs. William E. Borah, of Idaho,
has invited President Hoover to go

John Hughes Curtis
Confesses To Hoax
Hopewell. N. J., May 17^?Col. H.
Norman Schwarzdopf, superintendent
of state police, announced today that
John Hughes Curtis, one of the Nor-^
folk negotiators in the Lindbergh
kidnap cose, had written "a complete
confession" that all the people with
whom he has told of negotiating and
all the boats on which he said he
met them were creations of his own
imagination. .*)
Col. Schwarzkopf's statement follows:
"At four o'clock this morning John
H. Curtis sat down to a typewriter
and himself wrote a complete confession
concerning his activities in
the case.
"He stated that the boats and all
the people to whom he has been referring
were creations of his own
mind and do not exist in fact.
"Shortly after the kidnaping Mr.
Curtis told a story about having a
contact with the kidnapers. A newspaper
representative, according to
Mr. Curtis' statement, made a very
lucrative offer to him for his story
to be given exclusively to that paper.
Also, according to Mr. Curtis, a very
lucrative offer was made by another
newspaper and a film company concerning
the activities. This spurred
Mr. Curtis on to greater activity.
"Mr. Curtis also said that Dean
Peacock could have prevented his unfortunate
part in this enprmous deception.
Admiral* Hurrage merely
presented to Col. Lindbergh the story
as he had heard it, making no recommendations,
but permitting it to
stand on its merits.
"Reputable citizens and officials
frequently vouched to Col. Lindbergh
' for the integrity of Mr. Curtis, stating
that his word could be relied on.
This made the deception so much
easier. The story of Mr. Curtis has
resdlted in the very widespread activities
of the coast guard and other
federal agencies in seeking the fictitious
boat he has described.
"It has further resulted dn many
official airplane trips, auto trips, as
Well as keeping Col. Lindbergh away
from home and activities during the
most important phase of the case in
pursuit of fictitious clues.
"Four days ago, when Mr. Curtis
came to these headquarters, the police
authority at this point started
questioning him and checking his
story. The result of the check on his
story and the questioning of Mr. Curtis
was culminated at 4:00 o'clock
this morning, with his complete confession
that all the- information he
had given was the result of his imag;
ination and deception as well as his
desire to make a good newspaper
story that would bring lucrative returns,
and^t'hat there was no fact
or: foundation on which the story was
built."
After Col. Schwarzkopf issued 'his
statement he was asked if any action
had been taken against Curtis and
replied that Curtis was not under
arrest.
Sheep Men Must
( Fight Parasite
Clemson College, May 10.?Ninety
I per cent of the sheep in South Carolina
will show infestation of stomach
worm, most destructive of all internal
parasites affecting sheep, says L. V.
Starkey, chief of animal husbandry
, here, who advises that the most satisfactory
control measure is frequent
change of pasture. Stomach worm
, damage, he states, is not generally
appreciated because sheep may carry
t large numbers of the worms and still
live.
Stressing the need for each sheep
?>wner to find out how heavily his
flock may be infested, Pro. Starkey
j enumerates the symptoms briefly:
uTa Imu luuiiiiioii, wiih paie instead
of pink ->ktn, indenting t?ck of
I blood; pale membrane just under the
.eyelids; a swelling under the jaw
| sometimes in heavy investation.
To .learn the degree of infestation
! Prof. Starkey suggests that samples
'? fresh manure from at least three
-deep be >ent to IP. \V. K. I a* wis.

Hawkins, Columbia, ant] A. I.. Duliant,
Florence,
i Changing pastures every two weeks
jring summer is urged by Prof.
Starkey to keep sheep fairly free
f'om stomach worms. This means
having not less than three pastures
I available, and if fresh pasture is
! available for only a short time it
I should be made use of in early
; spring while lambs are being fattened
for market, for the parasites
are more destructive to lambs than
to ~iwes.
It's hard to make some young men
believe it, but it Is better to be square
than to be a rounder.?Clinton Chronicle.

half so much as what to tftve them

taken their spring sulphur in"l0tt*n
ses wiU be glad to know they can
have it without the molasses, oithci

It is one of Nature's cute little
tricks to have things all arranged,
and then leave us to puzzle them but.
Plenty of eggs in the spring, plenty
of sulphur in the eggs (if y9\?i silver
forks turn black), and there you are,
all ready for the summer. *b

Those of us old enough to remember
our first ice-cream as "frozen
I custard" still cherish a warm spot in
our hearts (?) waiting to be cooled
by it. Custard boiled with plenty of
fat eggs, rich milk, sugar, vanilla,
skill and tasting; cooled while you
get ten cents' worth of icc^extra from
the J no. M. Villepigue Ice Company
and find a place to put it. Plenty of
newspapers spread about, the mildewed
salt tub with a broken spoon,
a eroker sack and axe, another tub
for cracked ice, everything scalded
and cooled, the creamy stuff plopplopped
into the can, three or four
parts of ice to one of salt, a few
groans as stiff knees go down, adjustments
and the slow and steady
creak-creak that spells after-dinner
bliss. Years and years of waiting
while it is "packed" with more ice
and salt, and things are cleared away
?but when it is ripe?like our crown
in heaven?all the trouble and muss
and tears and sighs and waiting and
toil and expectations are forgotten in
the joys of fulfillment. (And when
it's home made ice cream, that means
full fill ment.)

Making it isn't half so bad as history
and having bread pudding instead
have made it. With plenty of
ice cracked the right size, a roomy,
substantial freezer that really turns,
and after a few minutes of turning,
you can go see how -the. patty-pan
cakes are browning, arid afyer a few

bribing' hinr*with the dasher nonscraped.
But?unless your family is
small you do want enough to give
three helpings all around, and have
some left to scrape out late Sunday
nigh^t m peach Reason,;
A good freezer with a dasher that
really scrapes the sides, insures the
quickest freezing of a smooth, velvety
ice cream. A reputable one
lasts for generations. Mnckey Hardware
Company has some splendid
ones in all sizes, prices and colors.
But don't expect a red freezer full of
yellow custard to turn out a raspberry
ice.
Ad To Appear Next Week
The Chronicle was scheduled to carry
a half page ad in this issue advertising
Kelvinators but the cut failed
to arrive in time. Readers are asked
to be on the lookout for this ad, due
J
to appear in next week's paper.
Mackey Hardware Company is the
dealer in Camden and one of these
Kelvinators is on display in their
window and they will be glad to demonstrate
it to anyone calling at their
, store and tell them?on what terms
they are sold.
Representative Rainey, Democrat,
declared Saturday that the dole in
this country is inevitable unless the
United States can restore international
trade.
The "bonehead club" of Harlington,
Texas, has sent a three-foot blue
pencil to Speaker Garner at Washington
with the advice that he balance
the budget with it.
Burgoo King, winner of the recent
Kentucky derby, added to his fame on
Saturday by capturing first place in
the famous classic Preakness race at
Pimlico, Maryland, race track. Tick
On, favorite in the betting card, was
second at the end of the race.
Dollars
A dollar will buy twice as much
labor, stocks, securities or any other
commodity than it would have bought
three years ago. Therefore, the man
who bought a $1,000 bond three years ^
ago owns the equivalent of $2,000.
If mild inflation of the currency
should decrease the Value of that
bond to 75 cents on 3the dollar the
holder would still have a profit of 2?
per cent in the value of his bond.?
