I ^ed Cross Serves Humanity
THE spirit of the nation-wide humanitarian
work of the Amorlcan
Rod Cross Is typified in tho 1934 poster
drawn by the well-known artist, Lawrence
Wilbur. Tho Red Cross nurse,
shown protecting a small boy who Is in
distress, Is Illustrative of tho roto of
the organization in rushing relief to
victims of disaster?whether storm,
epidemic, earthquake, fire, flood or
other typo of catastrophe. During the
past year tho Red Cross sent muterlal
aid to victims In 103 disasters, giving
assistance to 119,000 persons. j
This Ik but one example of service
given by the Red Cross. It also serves
In health conservation, through its
Public Health Nursing Services em-J
ploying more than 750 nuroes; In!
safety and accident prevention, through J
its Life Saving and First Aid Instruc-J
tlon; in aid to veterans and service
men through its Home Service work; ,
and in cementing the youth of the na? j
tlon, through Junior Rod Cross, into a
national society devoted to preparing
them In fitness for service, good citizenship
and world friendship.
Tho 1934 Poster invites all men and
women to join tho Rod Cross dic ing i
tho annual enrollment, so that they'
may participate in this vast humanitarian
enterprise. Your local Chapter
will welcome you as a member.

brief illness from a heart ailment. ;
Admiral McGowan, who was a native ;
of Laurens, arrived Friday from
Washington and New York for one
of his two or three annual visits, having

Saturday )1C was ?M 'he streets greet-!

Lieut. Comdr. W. R. Ryan of Die!
Charleston navy yard came to spend !
the week-end with the admiral at!
the hotel. Shortly after 11 o'clock!
last night Admiral McGowan, who
had been entertaining several callers
in the lobby, complained that he felt
a numbness in one of his arms. I)r.
R. P. McGowan, his kinsman, was
called at midnight and remained with
him until 2 o'clock. Meantime a nurse,
was called. lie rested very well for
several hours but shortly after 9 a.

friends.
i
Many Saw Meteor
n>i Thursday night of hist
week around ll:d() o'clock those persons
who were out were treated to a
beautiful sight in the form of a falling
meteor. An eye witness says it
was a blinding bluish light and lasted
for several seconds, fading away as
the tail of the comet disappeared
across the heavens.
If the Florida state prohibition
laws are repealed by the general assembly
next week, the distilling of
alcoholic liquors in the state will
probably become a major industry.

Columbia, Nov. 12.?Beaufort's Cat
(aland cannot boast the first nudist
colony in Sou}h Carolina.
According to an M. A. thesis in
the University of iKouth Carolina library,
a group of religious fanatic*
who called themselves Weberites
traipsed nu<le Over the I^exington
county greensward in 1723. Cat Island
trails by two centuries.
The three leaders of this strange
group called themselves "the Father/'
"the Son," and the "Holy Ghost,"
respectively. Things were not very
smooth within thik triumvirate, however.
As the result of a (fUarrel, "the
Father" chained "the Son" in the
forest ?uid later called his gung who
beat and stamped him to death.
After a short time the anger of
"tho Father" was turned toward "the
Holy Ghost," whom he murdered ir\
bed. Needless to say, the remaining
member of the triumvirate was condemned
to the gallows.
Approximately (JO medicinal plunts^
native to South Carolina, were found
recently j>y sophomore pharmacy students
at the University of South Carolina
during a field trip in pharmacy
laboratory work.
There are many more plants of
medicinal value in South Carolina,
says W. D. Strother, associate professor
of pharmarcy in the University
of South Carolina.
% I have killed two thousand cats
in the last two year's, was the boast
of a woman in New \ork in 1893,
according to a story in the News
and Courier on file in the South Carolina
room in the University of South
Carolina library. She was arrested
cailying a bag in which there were*
six dead cats. She had left two otheis
dead in a park some distance
Asked for an explanation, she responded:
"Those cats had no right
to be out after 8 o'clock. So I killed
them."
"War is quite probable. The situation
in Germany is becoming more
and more tense as January approaches,"
declares Francis W. Bradley,
dean and professor of Ge> man in the
University of South Carolina.
The center of all attention is the
S iar valley, n nasin small in area but
cry rich in natural ; <??. u.ces. By
the treaty of Versailles, the Saar will
hold an election in January, 1935, for
the purpose of determining whether
the area will join Germany, remain
a.- a part of France, or become a separate
state under the league. Consequently
as election day approaches,
excitement is increasing.
The characteristics of the region
are purely German, and France is
afraid of the outcome of the election.
The great wealth of the region in coal I
a^d iron ore makes it highly desirable.
according to Dean Bradley.
Seventy-eight social workers, seventy-five
women and three men. regt>.etvd
for the second cycle of the
School of Social Work at the University
of South Carolina which began
November 6. ' This school is government-financed
and workers are

E. R. A.
Dr. G. Croft \Y illiams, professor of
sociology, is in charge of the work
at the University. It will be run in
five cycles of six weeks each from
September to June. During the first
cycle, September 20 to November 3,
73 registered, 70 women and 3 men.
Fifty-six of this number registered
for the second cycle.
The School of Social Work is a
separate and distinct unit at the Uni-1
versity, affiliated with the department
of sociology, according to John A.
Chase, Jr., registrar, who gave out
the registration statistics."
Requests Granite Of
State To Be Used
There is quite a discussion in tho
state as to the kind of material to
be used in the construction of the
World War memorial to be erected
by the State of South Carolina in
Columbia. On October 29 Congressman
Richards wrote Colonel Monroe
Johnson, chairman fo the Building
Committee tor the World War Memorial
Commission, expressing his
views as follows:
"I have been much interested in
published expressions of opinion that
have come to you, as Chairman of the
Building Committee for the World
War Memorial Commission, setting
forth the advantages and advisability
jof using certain types of material in
the construction of the memorial.
I am adding my voice to those who
have advocated South Carolina Granit
for this memorial, which, long after
we have gone, will cause 'the pilgiim
here to pause.' I believe, too,
that those in whose memory the monumental!]
be erected, could {hey
speak, would be as one voice in favor
?i ^ South Carolina product.
For two years I have been tring to
impress upon the Federal Government
the advantages of South CaroJina
granite over Indiana limestone
now commonly being used in 'the
erection of Federal buildings in
Washington. What chance V>r arguhare

7,645 Bales Of Old ^
Cotton in County
Probably never More has the gov.
ernment bad ouch an accurate check
on the number of bale* of "carry,
over" cotton as la now in it* pommi*
aion, the result of cotton control leg.
ialatton, which required that every
bale of cotton tlx the county be found
and accounted for.
L. N. Langford, who has had the
job of finding all the old cotton in
Lexington county and tagging it, un.
deivjthe Hank head bill, states that
there are 7,045 bales of old cotton in
this county.
Several interesting facts were
brought out by Mr. Langford in connection
with his work of tagging old
cotton. For instance, he found one
bale of the staple at Chapin the owner
of which claimed w^ 45 years old.
This cotton was in afjgood state of
preservation, Mr. Lanj|ford stated.
Probably the man in Lexington county
with the largest amotmt of cotton
on hand, according to Mr. Langford,
is Jim Clarke, who had stored at his
! home 354 bales of cotton, with more
in some of the warehouses of the'
county i I
Mr. Langford stated that he found
lots of cotton* several years old, and J
much of it in such a state of deterio- 1
ration, because of improper storage, 1
that would not amount to more than 1
a third to a half of bale after being j
re-packed. ."1.
All this old cotton, after being 1
tagged by Mr, 'Langford, may be sold 1
t&x free, but he doubta that some of
it will be sold within the next sever- j
al years.?Lexington Dispatch-News.']
RIDING GLORIOUSLY QN MERCY I
Magazines and. newspapers over- I
flowed with harrowing tales of the I
drought-stricken areas out West last j
summer. Tears flowed in every dj- l
rection. We take for granted that j
there was much truth in these Jeremiads.
That being the case,' imagine J
the amaz6ment over some recent de- I
velopmentB. Figures have been given I
out to the effect that the increase of j
automobile sales for the last period, j
over the country, was 33 per cent,
and through the drought-stricken j
area, 43 per cent.
Such revelations "are unfortunate |
for more reasons than one.. It pro- 1
duces a loss of confidence in the gen- I
uineness' of ''honest" appeals to thefj
government for help. Exaggeration, I
under such conditions, is usually |
rampant. Added to this, is the growing
tendency to beg for help, and the 1
stifling of the spirit of grit and sac- 1
irifice to meet emergencies. Those of
us who grew up on the ruins of post- j
j Civil War misfortunes stand aghast J
at the changes in temperament.?CalI
