Letter to Farmers
of Kershaw County
Although imwiy people talk arid
think almost exclusively in terms of
the depression and its hardship.-*, still
there are many, many farm people
throughout Kershaw county who have
faced the sptnation squarely arr<l who
are overcoming the handicap step by
step.
Those who realized in the outset
that there was no turning1 back and
who went to work to tight the battle
through determined to win, first of
oil mapped out a definite program of
selfrsupport or live-at-home program.;
In order that those who have moro
or l(??s lost heart wo wish to urge
those farmers who do have something
to show ?t the County Fair to be sure
to bring everything they can jto the
fair, remembering that all entries;
must be in .place by 10 p. m., October j
26. I
Of course we realize that the corn ;
crop is cut short .all over~the county
but still there are many farmers who
made fairly good com crops where !
they had turned under legume cover;
crops or used stable manure. These i
farmers can furnish a good supply ofi
corn. There are still many fine hogs t
in the county, lots of chickens, quantities
of cured meats, good cows and
calves, and a number of extra good
dairy bulls.
I wish that every farm family in
the county would study carefully the
county fair catalog and bring as ma-j
nv of tiie items as possible. I)o not
hesitate to brim: something just because
you feel that it might not win
a prize because the true spirit of the
fair is not merely to win prizes but j
to show what we have and to see;
what our neighbors have, learning (
from one another thereby. If every j
farm family in Kershaw county r
would bring one or more exhibits we
would probably have the best county
fair in the state this year.
To The 4-H boys jl
In addition to the premiums offer-ij
< <1 in the fair catalog which you will}1
compete for this year in the open j (
< !a?s we have arranged to give you ]
many extra prizes. j<
It will bo absolutely necessary that .
you hc to it that the man who re - ;
ccivt- your exhibits at the County j
fa r marks on the bag that goes on'
your exhibit nrul also on his'record
book that your exhibit is 4-H, otherwise,
the cbailees are you will not
win any of the extra prizes.
Boys, this fair belongs to you as
much as to anyone else and it is our?
duty to support it. Do not bring exhibits
merely for the sake of winning
a prize but also for the purpose of
helping your fair and your county. I
want to ask you boys to do everything
you possibly can to make the
fair a success and of course the main
thing to make it a success is for you
to bring exhibits?as many as you
can?and of every kind.
Remember that you boys are competing
this year against matured farmers
of the county, i believe that
you will ?how up well and win many
of the prizes, but 'in order to do so
you will have to do your very best.
I am especially anxious that we get
every 4-H calf, cow, hog, pig, and
chicken to the fair this year. Also
it is important that we have a good
showing with corn and other grains
as well ns vegetables. Try to bring
as many of the things that are listed
in the catalog, says Henry I). Green,
the corresponding secretary.
Senator James F.* Byrnes has accepted
an invitation to join Governor
Roosevelt at Louisville and accompany
the candidate for president on his
tour of the South, and has been asked
to make a speech for Roosevelt at j
Los Angeles on the Saturday night
before the election.
How One Woman
Lost 10 Lbs in a Week
Mrs. Betty Lucdeke, of Dayton,
writes: "I am using Kruschen to reduce
weight?I lost 10 pounds in ftne
week and cannot say too much to recommend
it."
To take off fat easily, SAFRLY and
HARMLESSLY?take one half teaspoonful
of Kruschen in a glass of
hot water in the morning before
breakfast, go lighter on fatty meats,
potatoes, butter, cream and pastries?
it is the safe way to lose unsightly
fat and one bottle that lasts 4 weeks
costs but a tritle. Get it at DeKalb
Pharmacy or any drug store in America.
If this first bottle fails to convince
you this is the safest way to
lose fat?money back.
"But he sure and get Kruschen Salts
?imitations are numerous and you
must safeguard your health.

deer mT, editor:
i rec'd yore letter asking me to
kindly send you my dognoais of the
pressent political situation in regard*
to who will b? the' next preaaidet^s,
and J will we glad to comply with
yore requests. ,
j was borned a dimmercat and unless
i can get a big publick offis by
changing to a republican, i suppose >
will die a dimmercyat, but i don't
blame a man for being a republican
under normal conditions if he can't
see his way clear to change onncr
count of our pressent depression.
. drdook.s like mr. roscyvelt to me,
but if cotton would go to lBc in the
south,'and wheat waster Jump up to
80c in the west, and potatoes should
move up to actual cost in long island,
mr. hoover .would no doubt gain some
strength. ,
Mr. hoover lost the b. e. f. veterans
vote when he drove thejn out of
Washington and refused to give them
their bonnus. my son, jerry, felt nice
toward him till then, he got gassed
in camp Oglethorpe in the kitchen and
needs his bonnus onncr count he can't
get his breath very good.
it don't look much like.there will
be anny chance for the republicans
in congress, they will haftoer wHcor
for the high tarriflf and allso for the'
r. f. c., and may be asked about not
cutting expenses instead of putting
taxes on everything from gas on
down.
mr.' roscyvelt looks strong down
here regardless of the g. o. p. s
whispering that he has to walk with
a walking stick, but a man don t
think with his legs, the big. hooker
vote of 1 years ago has disappeared:
mr. roscyvelt is not a catholick, but
noboddy so far has asked which
church he belongs to, if anny. just
so he aint like al smith, he is o. k.
to the baptists and metherdists and
pressbyterions. the south is pretty
bad when it comes to voting for men
that don't have their kind of religion
ansoforth.
everboddy thinks a change is needed,
as it coulddent possibly be for the
worst. the old bunch has benn
waighed in the ballances and found
wanting, and if they had charge of the
government one more term the riwers
would stop running on full time,

MY FORTY-FOURTH CIRCUS
. .A circus came to town a few days
ago and I went to sec it, as I had
to take the baby. I missed a circus
that came to town in 1899, and never
got over it. On account of the depression.
I had a hard time getting
a seat, the show was so crowded.
..The general admission to the sjhow
was the same as advertised, viz: 50
cents but when I bought my ticket,
the man charged me 5 cents tax for
Uncle Sam and 5 cents tax for my
home state. The unreserved seats
were so located that peeping through
a hole in the tent had them beat all
hollow, so I had to pay 50 cents more
for a chair with a back to it....in
sight of the ring.
..My chair had a splinter in it. hut
I got it picked out of me after I got
home. I don't enjoy splinters except
for kindling fires. The popcorn man
charged 10 cents for his 5-cent popcorn,
but he sold his nickle Cracker
Jack for only a dime. I bought an
ice-cream cone for 10 cents that had
elephant hair and dust all over it.
It would have taken 500 cones to
make a square meal for a kitten.
. .They W"u!<trrLr?rmrt the -?h??w 'till
they sold out all of their candy and
stuff, but just before I dozed < tT to

weeks or more. We spent a . \\< ad.
My wife asked me if we had a
nice crowd at the circus, and I told
her we had a big one. I took s,,me
of her folks along. The clowns
pulled some good Pricks: I saw most
of them 20 years ago, meaning the
tricks. The show girls were all real
pretty at a distance, and so were
the 2 trained donkeys. And then
came the concert. And such a concern!
?
li*./
..Now, folks, that concert was won- 1
derful. They had 2 men with ropes '
and 2 or 3 horses, and the wrestling 1
match was something like a couple |
of 3-day-old puppies wallowing over t
one another. That was all they l
"concerted." This was the first dime i
anybody had beat me out of for near- (
Double Killing
In Orangeburg
Orangeburg, Oct, 14.--'Two lives
were anuffed out here today by a
policeman's pistol in what authorities
described as the final chapter in
a story of domestic relations.

Chief George S. Kirklan&that he was
to bo relieved of his duties 'because
of complaints of immoralities, went
to the home of Mrs. Bailie Carter

through his own hand.
Mrs. Burke's 17-year-old brother,
1). A. Carter, who livod with his sister,
found their bodies sprawled on
a bed. A coroner's jury caHed it
murder and suicide.
Carter, testifying at the inquest,
said Knotts, father of four children,
was "in the habit" of visiting his
sister.
When he came today, Carter said,,
Mrs. Burke asked him to take her
two-year-old daughter out into the
yard. He had hardly left the house,
ho said, boforo he heard the pistol
shots. ,
The house was looked so he forced
a window, rushed into the bedroom
and found the bodies. That of
Knotts had fallen across the woman
ho had killed.
