Sept. 8. -?A weekly auction market for all kinds of livestock is being established in Columbia and the opening sale will be held at noon Friday, September 14, according to announcement of J. K. Hawkins, animal husbandman of the Clemson College Extension Service and the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry. Mr. Hawkins, realizing the benefits to the farmer to be derived from such a market, has been instrumental in securing the fnarket. "There are several horse and mule auction markets in the state, but this is the only weekly auction market in the state where the farmer can bring his cattle, calves, hogs, and sheep as well as his horses and mules and find a ready market for them," says Mr. Hawkins. The new market will be similar to those in Asheville Knoxville, Koanoke, Bristol, and Lexington, which have proved to be very popular in the livestock growing sections of North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky. Homey Brothers, the nationally known twin-auctioneers, who own and operate a chain of livestock auction markets in Virginia, have leased the Columbia stock yards located near the Fair Grounds and are remodeling the present buildings and pens to have them suitable for a livestock auction market. "This is to be a wide open market where anybody can sell all classes of livestock, and anybody can buy," Mr. Hawkins explains. "A large number of buyers from several different states, representing packing houses and butchers, as well as buyers for stock cattle, horses, and mules, have assured Mr. Horney that they will be on hand at the opening sale to bid on every head of livestock consigned to the sale. Mr. Horney predicts that prices on Ihe Columbia market will be as high as anywhere else in the South." Motorists Urged Drive Carefully Charlotte, N. C., Sept.8.?With hundreds of thousand of children beginning a new schol year motorists of the Caroljnas today were urged to drive safely and carefully by Coleman W. Roberts, president of the Carolina Motor Club. ; The appeal was directed to motoiists on the highways as well acity streets a> the average number of Carolina school children transported daily to ami from school is 273,;;(>*). This transportation is furnished by 0.072 buses that serve 1.818 schools and travel over 93,41:2 miles of route each day. . "This great number of school buses. the majority of them operated by youngsters, create in them-ol\es a gieat potential accident hazard," Mr. Roberts said. "School principals and teachers can materially lessen this hazard by frequent and thorough inspection of the mechanical equipment and by installing capable drivers and monitors on the buses and should at all times discourage overloading. "Motorists can save themselves expense and embarrassment by keeping vigilant watch for youngsters boarding or leaving school buses and by scrupulously obeying all traffic laws when overtaking a bus. Many counties assign mounted policemen to trail school buses each morning and afternoon while members of the highway patrol also keep a watchful eye on the buses. "At many city schools and some rural schools in the Carolinas schoolboy patrolmen' who have been equipped and grained by the Carolina Motor Club during the 1*2 years of its perm anent accident prevention campaign will be on duty teaching and aiding younger pupils to cross streets safely ami 'motorists are urged to cooperate with these patrolmen. More than T,.duo school patrolmen have been organized and equipped by the C aro! lina Motor Club and there has been no fatal accident at any school protected by these sturdy youngsters." Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has announced a plan whereby cotton growers in areas where the drouth ; has prevented the allotted amount of cotton, may sell their tax exemption certificates to cotton growers ir. other sections where the production is larger than the tax exemption permits ginning. Thus farmers who fail j to grow as much tax free cotton as j they have been allotted will get at' least four cents per pound for their j exemption certificates on cotton they failed to produce. The administration will be forced to ask the next congress to er.aet aj $.700,000,000 tax bill in January, be- | cause many of the levies now returning that sum to the treasury, will expire July 1 of next year. There is talk in Washington about reviving the once defeated sales tax measure to replace existing so-called nuisance taxes. Carpenters are on a strike at Miami, Fla., since Saturday of last week and all buihfing operations there are at a standstill. A Hat Control Rat* have levied heavy tolls of farmers' grains, chickens And other goods for many years. The unusually short corn crop being made this year together with the depressed general economic situation make it especially necessary that these rodent pests be exterminated. Our farmers certainly do not have sufficient corn to divide with the rats this year, A rat campaign over the entire county is to be conducted and cooperation of all those who harbor rats is urged. A farmer may eradicate the rats on his premises but he will soon be reinfested if his neighbor does not eradicate also. The county-wide campaign is to begin Saturday, September 15 and will continue for several week^. Every farmer in the county is urged to take part. It is for his I own protection as well as that of his neighbor, also the people of C,amden and other towns of Kershaw County are urged to cooperate. Rat poison will be available at the Cojjnty Agent's office. This poison is prepared by the Federal government and is distributed at cos.t by | County Agent. Full directions accompany each package. The success of the campaign depends largely upon the cooperation received from the people. The rat poisdVi which is used is made of Red Squill which comes from the shores of the Mediterranean and is an emetic and is not actually a poison. It is not supposed to kill anything but rats and mice, that being the only animals in this section which are unable to vomit. While it is not a poison it should be kept out of reach of children and irresponsible persons. A package of this poison consists of 3 small packages, one containing meat, another cereal and the third contains fish. Each small package is in a sealed tin can and the Squill has already been mixed in at the time of preparation. There is' nothing to do except distribute the1 poison as indicated by directions on containers says Henry D. Green,! County Agent. Posing as palsy stricken narcotic victims, two Federal agents in Chicago bought $70 worth of narcotics from a peddler and then placed handcuffs on him. Henry Stephenson, 77, and his wife, 05, committed suicide at Orlando, Fla., by closing all the windows in their apartment and turning on a gas jet. j Conferences Called To Plan Red Cross Membership Campaign Washington, D. C>, Sept. 12.? Regional conferences will be held by Red Cross chapters all over the United States during September and October, to make plans for.the work of the coining winter and to outline the roll call membership campaign in | November. Since the World War, the annual roll call of the American Red Cross has begun on the anniversary of the signing of the armistice in 1918, the campaign ' continuing through Thanksgiving Day. The theme for the conferences this year is "Today's Challenge to the Red CrosS." Membership enrollment in the American Red Cross for the year , ending June 30, 1934, was 3,802,384, for the United States and its insular possessions. This figure showed an. increase of 100,518 members over the roll call totals of the previous year. "Because of this membership and continued public support, the Red Cross is able to maintain every one of its services at maximum efficiency," said Judge John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, in commenting on the record of the last fiscal year. "It has responded this year to'calls for help in 80 disaster-stricken communities. More than 250,000 ex-service men and their dependents have been aided. Increased support by the national organization for public health nursing services has been forthcoming because | we have realized the strain upon the health of our people, especially moth-( Would Build New Bridge To Mine At the meeting of the county board of commissioners on Wednesday a motion to build a new road- from Highway 2G5 to the Haile Mine was carried with a stipulated condition that the Haile Gold Mining company secure the right of way and furnish the lumber for the erection of bridges.It is said that the Haile Mine is pre. paring to operate on quite an extensive scale.

We have placed great stress upon our instruction courses in home hygiene and care of the sick in order further to; safeguard the public health. First1 aid and life-saving instruction has reached a greater number of persons than in any year before in its history.' Volunteer activities in sewing, in community relief through training volunteers in social work, in organizing motor corps to assist all agencies, in hospital hostess and recreation work ?all haVe revealed a greater public interest and feeling of responsibility for community welfare. More than seven million school boys and girls, are enrolled in the Junior Red Cross for community service." tf .n ?
