TURNS THAT M(X>RNRR" " ' August, H>33, will ,po down to our progeny ?* one of the most decisive turning-point* in history. Urtele Sum proclaim* to a watching and envious world that he propose* to be the captain of hi* own destiny. He is not going to tryst the future welfare of his people to the toss of dice by the gamblers. Ho is not going to assumq that half the people are doomed to live forever in misery and pauperism, ami that they are destined to servo endlessly as hewers of wood and drawers of water for the benefit of succeeding generations of aristocrats. He is not going to let the dictum be laid down that the human race j^re the helpless victims of a machine age which they themselves have created. He assumes that if they have the genius to build a Frankenstein they nlso have the genius to control it, and not let it turn und grind them in the dust. He believes that if the ancient Egyptians could find ways to tide over the crops of the fat years so as to feed the people in the lean years, the United States can do at least as well if we only set ourselves the task. He believes that it is not necessary to pile- up immense stores of products of every .sort?and then turn half the workers out of jobs because those products can't be sold. He believes that there are ways to curb this evil of overproduction, so that the da mined "up waters may be used to irrigate the soil und serve useful purposes $0tead of flooding the country." Yes, Uncle Sam IS aiming t,<? "lift himself by his bootstraps," just as the knockers say. Like the men who made a silk purse out of a sow's ear 'bnd u whistle out of a pig's tail, he has decided to cut the Gordian knot by one deft stroke of the swor$ instead of trying to untie it. , The "new. era" could not have been brought about except through what is a practical dictatorship. Two of the other great countries of the world are now living under dictatorships? Italy and Russia. Dictatorships are never a choice of government?but they are sometimes a choice of evils. If Franklin D. Roosevelt was a bad man, then this "new deal" would mean disaster and undreamed-of suffering?but he is a good man, and history does not show that the people have ever been betrayed by good men. The President says plainly | that this is "an experiment" and that its success will depend on the way the ! people back it up. This shows that he is a wise and cautious leader, who can be trusted in this hour of peril. He has none of the self-seeking ambition of Napoleon, which eventually brought that able but heartless leader to his doom, and carried a large part of civilization with him. So let's back up the President, just as he says?follow him with seeing eyes if we have the vision, or follow him blindly if we can't see the way ourselves. We are safe under his guidance?and we can trust him to avoid dangers as they cune up. Pathfinder; ? GREAT NEWSPAPER FEAT One of the outstanding accomplishments of Chester S.

Aug. 19.?Sometime, per- | haps in the near future, Cotton acre- j age figures probably will have to be ! revised for G. C. Rowland, Sumter. banker, has developed a five-lock-boll ! cotton to take the place of the usual four-lock-^boll. In addition, the new type is an early and blight-proof variety and weighs approximately 30 per cent more than the common staple. Like a romance is the five-year story of Rowland's painstaking efforts to produce the new type which, he says, produces more cotton to the same amount of work and fertilizer. Rowland, who has combined farming with his duties as president of the National Bank of South Carolina of Sumter, first noticed a five-lockboll of cotton five years ago while walking through one of the fields. He searched the fields and, .with considerable effort, located several more. He offered pickers a premium for i such bolls and finally he secured quite a number. During that winter, Rowland and his family picked the seed by hand, I a system relegated when Eli Whitney j invented the cotton gin in 1793. The j next season, these selected seed were' planted ;in?i the crop again carefully hand-picked for the five-lock-bolls. Again and again, the system was repeated. Th.- year, Rowland had sufficient seed culled for his experimental field to plant "?n aere>. Already over a hale t<> the acre has developed before boll weesils arrived ar.d now pickers are going through this field, picking only five-lock-bolls, which total about 85 per cent of the crop. The bolls are larger and fluffier than ordinary cotton and Rowland, expects to gather between 40 and 50 bales from this type. Later, the l pickers will cover the field again, i picking the four-lock bolls from which i Rowland expects 10 or 15 bales. I The pickers still are given a premium for taking only the select bolls. A careful watch is kept and if a picker takes any but a five-lock-boll, that picker is immediately sent to pick in ordinary fields. Recently Rowland made a test between the two types. He picked 75 bolls of each variety and found the 75 five-lock-bolls weighed 23.5 ounces to 17.5 ounces for the four-lock-boll. Generally 75 bolls weigh a pound. "You can readily see," Rowland said, "the great practical advantage of the five-lojgk staple over the fourlock staple. Since the same amount of fertilizer must be used and the cotton giveh the same amount of work, a cotton which is blight-proof, early and which yields 30 per cent more in weight would be of tremendous advantage to the grower in these times of keen competition." j !
