10,406 Confederate
Veterans Are Left!
I
Little Hock, Ark.?The onpp vast .
army of Confederate veterans has j
dwindled to iO,4(M>.
This number was disclosed in a i
survey completed recently by the
Sons of Confederate Veterans, and |
represents a thinnii\y-of the gray
ranks by 3,150 veterans since October,
1931.
Most of the surviving veterans?9,66(5,
reside in the 12 states which
once comprised the Confederacy, 300
were estimated to be scattered
throughout the remainder of the
United States, while 640 live in Confederate
homes.
E. H. Wiles, publicity director and
former commander of the S. C. V.
-?v
made public the information here
before u legislative committee on
pensions. The survey gives the number
of veterans by states including:
Alabama. 661; South Carolina, 846;
Georgia, 1,084. i |
The number of widows was given
at 41,238 for the United States.
The pension rolls of the states
show a decrease of widow pensioners
since October 1931 of 3,3G2.
The ascendancy of Adolf Hitler to j

farm prosperity first
Mu?t Come Hef?r? I?acR of Ue|>r?aion
1? Broken
The quickest way to break the back
of the deposition is to restore the
buying power of tho former. If this
one thing Is >h>no a cycle of improved
business will result, reaching into all
other fields of endeavor.
Tho reconstruction of our distress
must start at tho bottom, not .at the
ton, if we are to overthrow our business
legarthy within a reasonable
time. Farming communities are without
buying power, merchant's stocks
are low. trade is at a low ebb, credit
is tiglSr ?nd naturally so because o
low priced commodities. Communities,
such as ours, will not regain
their purchasing power until prices of
farm products are boosted.
When the farmer cannot buy, tne
manufacturer docs not operate, his,
employes do not work and so the
cycle of unemployment and business,
listlessness goes on in metropolitan
centers. When the farmer buys, the
merchant moves his goods and re-|
stocks his shelves from the manufacturer.
Then tho wheels start to
turn.
So far we have witnessed a congress
devoting its time to beer. And
its time was wasted in this session
The important thing is not beer, it
is business?the business of Putting
the farmer back on his feet. e
froth on beer discloses no prosperity.
But take hope, dust now there is(
indication that congress intends to
take up farm relief.' The Domestic
Allotment plan is coming up for consideration.
There are arguments in
favor and against it but we have|
reached the point where it behooves
us to try something new. If it fails
we will be no worse off than we were;
if it succeeds we are ahead.
The allotment plan looks to improving
the price on several farm
commodities. It could be put into
operation within^ short time and improve
the farmer^ purchasing power
at once. That dWc the farmer would
be a good^pender. He needs things;
we all need something or other,
manufacturer would soon feel the results
of our needs when the farm
buying power is restored.
vjt wouldn't take much to start the
cyclo of business and industry on the
upgrade if buying power were in the
right place but until the wealth that
comes out of the soil is recognized
there will be no buying power and no
prosperity. Better days will come to
all when corn and hogs are put on a
pinnacle of respect, not before.?Express,

REDUCE WASTE AND SUFFERING
The American people customarily
burn up about $500,000,000 worth of
property each year. About 10.000
human lives are included. This is a
tragic burden on every community.
Fach fire adds to the toll in lost jobs,
lost business opportunities, human
sorrow and suffering.
In depressed times, when jobs are
at a premium and taxation at a maximum,
and when the nation sorely
needs every business, we still burn
up about $500,000,000 worth of property
annually. During the first ten
months of 1932, fire loss was approximately
$5,000,000 greater than in
1931, a year in which the waste was
practically the same as in the preceding
three or four ye>ars.
If fire waste works a great hardship
in normal times, what is its effect
in an era of depression? There
can be no question but that the destruction
of homes, factories and j
places of business is not only an obstacle
in the way of recovery, but an
abetter of more hard times. The indirect
cost of fire is always the most
important. A factory burns^?men ,
are thrown out of work, hardship, distress
and poverty result.
Fire prevention is both an obligation
and a duty that the citizen owes
to himself, to his community and to
the nation. Nearly every fire w
caused by carelessness?because someone
neglected to give the little time
ami the little money that would have
been necessary to eliminate a hazard.
I>o your bit in the cause of fire pren*tion
and save human suffering.
? r T?
Get Rid of That
SORE THROAT!
if
Any little soreness in the throat grows rapidly worse if
neglected. Crush some tablets of genuine Bayer Aspirin
in some water, and gargle at once. This gives you instant
relief, and reduces danger from infection. One good gargle
and you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly,
repeat. There's usually a cold with the sore throat, so
l>efore gargling take two tablets to throw off your cold,
headache, stiffness or other cold symptoms. Bayer
Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too. You mav use it
i *
? freclv, it does not hurt (;.< heart.

Here are few added uses for your
tea cart:
Use cart to carry things to and
from kitchen in preparing a meal.
When washing windows on inside,
place necessities on tea cart and
wheel from window to window.
Use it for a mending table. Stack
clothes on tea wagon that need mending
after the weekly washing has
been assorted. Wheel in room or onto
porch or to any convenient spot
in which to mend.
The work of cleaning days can be
lightened by using tea cart to hold
supplies.

Colored Farmers
Want Agent Kept
At a meeting of the Colored Farmer's
Cooperative Association u
committee composed of the outstanding
men of their association signed
a communication to the members of
the Kershaw County delegation in tho
general assembly asking that the
County Agent be retained. Their letter
is as follows:
"For several days the news-papers
have published articles regarding the J
possible discontinuation of our agri-;
cultural extension service and in view
of the seeming pending crisis we
respectfully request that we be allowed
to filo with you our views concerning
this matter.
"While we have not been fortunate
enough to have a colored agricultural
agent to work directly with the colored
people of our county, we wish
to call to your attention certain
facts that we do not believe are generally
known and which we believe
you as our efficient representatives
will appreciate.
"Since beginning their work in our
county our farm and home agents
have endeavored from the first to put=
all of the people in the county on a
more self-sustaining basis than they
have enjoyed heretofore, and in this
connection we wish to call your particular
attention to definite work
which has been (jone with the colored
farm people of our eounty. Under the
leadership of these agents they have
been organized into a working group,
definite objects have been set and
worked towards. Our people now are
enjoying better living conditions, especially
more food and greater variety
of food than we think they would
have had had it not been,for the work
rendered by our two agents. We are
confident that our people have hundreds
of better gardens. Greater proess
has been made over the county I
wfyh respect to gardens yielding vegetables
over a pvuch longer period of
the year than has bce'1 done previously.
Many colored boys have been
assisted in securing pigs as breeding
stock. Many of our colored farmers
have been assisted in getting pastures
developed and 'in the development
of small dairy enterprises. Our
agents have periodically sent out
hundreds of extension bulletins to our
people which we are confident have
helped them a great deal. There are
many cases where colored farmers
were assisted in securing crop pro- I
duction loans last year who would*
not have received this aid had it not*
been for the efforts of the agent *
Much larger quantity of foods have*
been produced and conserved.
"In summing up our opinion of thirl
work we are satisfied that our agentafl
have missed no opportunity to help
the colored people of this county and I
we believe that our people are in far fl
better shape due to the work of these I
agents.
"We respectfully request that the
work of our extension agents be con
tinued." j
