John K. Ottley, president of the
First National Bank of Atlanta, and
well-known sportsman, who was kidnaped
from his Atlanta residence and I
later released by the young Georgia j
lad who had been holding him in se- j
elusion, \sHll be remembered by many I
horse lovers in Camden. He had a J
siring of handsome horses here in
the horse show of 11)12 which won the j
admiration of the galleries. His
horses captured several prizes at the
Camden show that year.

Sea GuIIh Fly Inland
J. K. GofT, a farmer residing in
the Antioch section, reports the unusual
fact that early last Tuesday
morning he saw six "sea gulls slowly
winging their way northward, presumably
driven inland by the storm
of that day. Gulls have been seen
on the big Wateree pond, near Liberty
Hill, quite often but this is the first
time reported seen away from the
water.
Grow Food And Feed
And Build The Soil
Clemson College, July 10.?Where;
cotton is removed from production!
this season through the acreage re- j
duction campaign, the land thus re-j
leased could he put to ho .better use ;
than to supplement the feed supply ,
for livestock, say agronomist and live- ,
stock specialists. Though consider- j
able progress has been made during
recent years in producing feed stuffs
'needed on Southern cotton farms,
many farms still fail to gro\v?all they
need. |
Furthermore, most farms still do
not have sufficient hogs, cows and
poultry for home supplies. Here is
a chance, they suggest, to begin the
wise practice of m??re f-td for more ^
livestock :n self-sustaining farming.
Li\estoek owners have found by experience
that during the latter part

Boys Desert Camp
For Holiday Trips
V m '
A large number of the boys took
advantage of the (two-day holiday
given, which included July 4th, and
celebrated Independence Day at
home or in the mountains or at the
beaches. The cares and duties of
camp life were forgotten amidst old
friends, .borne folks and familiar surroundings.
As this was for many of
the boys their first appearance in the
home town since joining the conservation
corps, they were riddled with
questions "by the local people. "Where
are you stationed, Joe?" " Working
you pretty hard, Charlie?" "What
kind of clothes do you worlc in?"
"Been broken in yet, Hay?" We hope
i the boys explained to them what activities
were (being carried on and
gave some idea how the forestry
work would go on.
In this company are boys from
Kichluml, Aiken, Saluda, Darlington,
Florence, York, and Chester counties,
with scatterings from other parts of
the state. Richland county has the
largest number of boys and Columbia
the largest number for any city.
On Friday afternoon, June 30th,
Mr. Nuite, Kershaw county forester,
made a short talk to the boys, introducing
himself and his work, besides
explaining a few things that a forester
should know. He pointed out the
different kinds of snakes found in
this part of the country. He explained
what kinds were dangerous and what
kinds were harmless. Mr. Nuite expressed
his interest in the personal
welfare of the boys as well as in the
forestry work they will do. Classes
of instruction in forestry work will
be given, begining at a latef -date.
The boys are fortunate in having Mr.
Nuite helping them, as he along with
government foresters and camp officials
will supervise the work of the
men. Mr. Connrd of Columbia is general
superintendent of the work being
carried on.
The boys are eating fine. The camp
site, surroundings and everything in
general appealed to all from the first
and there has been practically no
homesickness around. Another noticeable
thing is the luck of the usual j
swarm of flies around most camps;
very few mosquitoes are noticeable.
The two first aids, the captains and
the visiting physician are carefully
supervising the health of the camp
and of its members.
Captain Ma'bry is. directing the
welfare work of the camp; an orche*-]
tra will bo assembled, composed of
guitar players, a cornet player, a
violinist and perhaps of other m^sicinns.
An entertainment committee is
working on a minstrel or entertainment
of some kind to be given at the
cnnip soon.
Kenneth Williams, Darlington
county boy, who has had some experience
preaching before initiated religious
services at Fort iMcPherson
several nights out of the week. One
night last week he had the orchestra
out playing some old familiar tunes,
several hymns; he made a talk on
"The Meaning of Morality." Another
member of the conservation corps haq
had two years of training in Presbyterian
Seminary work and these two
men wfllfwork together. Two Sundays
out of each month church services
will be held by outside pastors
visiting with us for the morning; the
remaining, two Sundays some mem-;
ber of the corps will have charge of
the service. Efforts will be put forth
to make this as fine and as wholesome
a camp as possible.
Several exhibition ball games have
been played, and much interest is
; manifested in the groat American
pastime. The boys are showing what
they can do oach afternoon after 4
o'clock and it won't be long before
Captain Mabry will have his team
organized.
A very good swimming pool was on '
hand when the hoys arrived and it is
providing fine recreation and relief
from the oppressive heat after work
hours. Joe Logan and George Rhodes '
from Columbia and Charleston are
the life guards on duty.
On Saturday, July 8th, Kershaw'
county sent 9 men to join the conservation
corps. These young men from
Camden, Lugoff, and Blaney are a
welcome addition to the camp and
make the number there around 200.
We are sure that they will like the i
camp site and everything as well as '
the rest of us.

President Sends A
Message To South
Washington, July 8.?With three
Southern states approaching votes on
prohibition repeal, President Roosevelt
today put his force behind the
' Democratic campaign pledge to expel
the Eighteenth Amendment from the
Constitution.
Pointing out that he had had inquiries
from Tennessee; Arkansas
and Kentucky as well as Alabama,
Mr. Roosevelt sent a telegram to
Leon MeCord, the Democratic national
committeeman for Alabama repeating
again his stand on repeal,
i "I have made it cledV ever since
my nomination a yetfr ago that I subscribe
to the (Democratic platform
100 per cent,"
Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee
vote, this month on repeal.
The texl 'of the President'^ message
follows:
"I have received your telegram of
July 3 in reference to the repeal of.
the 18th amendment.,
i ^1 think I have made it abundant-'
ly clear that the platform of the
Democratic party adapted last year
should be carried out insofar as it
lies in our power. The special dhs- {
sion of tho congress has already
translated into law a great majority
of the pledges mrfde.
Ono of the pledges of thec>platform
reads as follows: 'We advocate the
repeal of the 18th amendment. To
affect such repeal we demand that
the congress immediately propose a]
constitutional amendment to truly I
representative conventions in the
abates called to act solely on that1
proposal.'
"The Congress has acted on this
and many of the states are now engaged
in holding elections for the
conventions proposed.
"Finally, I have made it clear ever
since my nomination a year ago that
I subscribe to the Democratic platform
100 per cent.
"In view of th6 fact that I have
had so great a number of telegrams
similar to yours not only from your
state but from Tennessee, Arkansas,
Kentucky and others, I am taking '
the liberty of giving this message to
you to the press."
William McLean of Tennessee, has
been sentenced to death on the scaffold

Carrying Cattle 1
Through Winter
Ctomson College, July hJ
ter grade of beef is being
by South Carolina growers than tv
before, because of a more general
of purebred glres, the eradication"!/
of the cattle tick and more liW,
feedip* of well balanced rations 2.
dares L. V. Sutherland, chief aninui
husbandman.
"Our problem here, as well a? i,
the North and East is to carry th?
breeding herds through the winter* M
cheaply as possible," 8ayB ^
Starkey, turning to tho question of
the cheapest and .best methods <rf
carrying cattle through the winter.
He makes the following helpful ?ug!
gos lions:
If a sufficient acreage of corn and
velvet beans is available, about half
of the beans may 'be picked by cheap
labor and stored for feeding the la#
half of the winter. The cattle may
then be turned in the corn and velvet
bean fields until the crop is consume^
after which they may be fed the beam
which were stored. l*his should bring
the cattle through in good condition,
and will also help to improve th?
soils on'which the corn and beau
have been grown. Tho corn is u.
ually snapped and stored for feeding',
the work stock.
Another very good system is'to reserve
enough permanent pastures to
carry the breeding herd until about
January 1, and then feed some cheap
roughage, such as stover, which
should be supplemented with two to
three pounds of cottonseed meal per
head per day.
Where cheap silage can be grown,
15 to 20 pounds of silage, five pounds
of straw or stover, and two pounds
of cottonseed meal per head per day
will maintain a breeding herd of
cows averaging 1000 pounds in
weight.
