Cainden Kotarv Notes ;
1 here was no definite program for j
Thursday's Rotary meeting' due to
Samuel Russell being called out of i
town, who hud been allotted the pro- ;
gram.
The dub was fortunate in having
Christie Bonet, of Columbia among
the visiting Roturians, and he was
called upon for a talk. This week
being Washington's Birthday and also
the thirteenth anniversary of RoLary,
Mr. Bonet chose George Washington
as hi.s subject, and touched
upon incidents in Washington's visit
to South Carolina. He compared the
national conditions of that time with
proent conditions and cited that the
citizens were then afraid of two much
centralized government and today
they are all depending upon the centtu.
government at Washington for
help through the New Deal and other
way-, and said that the people of
Washington's day were more self
reliant, whereas today they find it
easy to ask the National Government
f"t I.. lp and usually get it. He said
that^ relief work cannot continue indefinitely
for the drain on the Naionai
pocketbook is too great, and Mr.
Benet thinks that Rotarians can set
the example of teaching self reliaancy,
and help lead the people back
into a more normal way of living.
Tho visiting Rotarians were: Jerry
Wassum, Percy Crown and Christie
Benet, of Columbia; Victor S. Goodyear,
of Biahopville; George Wright,
of Great Falls; John Wilson, of Sumter
and Charles D. Prosner, of Pittman,
N. J.
The program next week will be in
charge of John M. Villepisgue and the
following week of Thomas Alteram*

In September 17, 1030, Kay Lyman (
\\ ilbur, then secretary of the interior,
drove a silver spike into a railroad 1
Lie near Las Vegas, Nevada, marking
the beginning of the construction of
a railroad spur to the dam site. '
Kngineers figured then the dam
would be completed in August, 1037.
Astounding construction speed records
followed. Today the dam builders
are two and a half years ahead
of their schedule.
An expenditure of $3&5,000,000 is
involved, $165,000,000 for the dam,
its power houses and the all-American
canal in the Imperial valley, and
$220,000,000 for the Metropolitan
water district development carrying
water to southern California com-,
munities.
Frank It. Kent had an interesting
and most readable article on Huey
Long and the newspapers in Saturday's
^column. The situation as described
by Mr. Kent is a rather odd
one, though not so odd after all.
Huey is the (Outstanding show-man
of his day and time, and knows the
value of the writeups in the newspapers.
The newspapers almost to an
individual are against the Louisiana
demagogue, and would like to see
him lurried into privacy, but despite
the fact that they know that the publicity
about him that they carry is
tremendously helpful to him, are
forced because of its news value to
carry it. Huey, who without a doubt
has one of the keenest minds in the
country, knows the pickle the newspaper
folks are in and will continue
to feed out the kind of news to the
papers that they will be forced to
publish.?Chester Reporter.
Quick Wit fend Level Head
.Sheriff Hill tells an interesting experience
of a Columbia citizen. The
latter was out on the Camden road
when a pedestrian in female dress
signaled him for a lift. The call of
a "lady" was so appealing to his
chivalry that he violated his rule of
ignoring strangers. He soon noticed
a suspicious fuzz about the upper lip.
He took a peep at the pedal extremities,
and decided they were not female
hoofs.
He then conveniently let his hat
drop to the highway, expressed regret,
and asked the "she" to be so
kind as to retrieve it. As "she"
alighted, he stepped on the gas, and
tin- brute sent 3 futile bullets after
him. Lucky man to have such tine
control of his wit.~.?Calhoun Times.

GROW A GOOD GARDEN
.?xxl rimming Insures Greater Huccess
of Garden Program.
CUvmnon College, Fob, 2? Many difYicnt
kinds of vegetables can Ihj
(rown irt South Carolina, thus affordtig
a wide range of healthful nutriious
fresh vegetables in season, ytid
n addition many vegetables to Ihj
ahned, dried, pickled, or stored and
te-pt in a fresh condition, thus providing
an ample supply through the
vinter, says A. E. Bchilletter, extenson
horticulturist, urging tho importtnce
of an abundance of fruit and
vegetables in tho diet for the sake of
food health, and suggesting the wislom
of planning gardening operations
n advance.
"Ordinarily we do not think about
gardening when the weather is coldest,"
Mr. Schilletter continues, "but
lhat is when we have the most leisure
,o decide the kind and amount of each
vegetable to be grown and to order
seed. Buying seed early is important,
for that usually insures better
selection of varieties, if not a hotter
grade of seed, while late buying may
mean a delay in planting. If a well
arranged, systematic plan is worked
>ut beforehand und seed secured, time,
space, and labor will be saved when
seeding time arrives.
"A systematic planting plan involves
the grouping of vegetables according
to season of planting, and also
grouping together those crops
which require about the same length
of time to mature.
"With a well selected variety of
fruits and vegetables produced in a
well 'planned garden, the family will
use more than if vegetables have to
be purchased, and better balanced
meals are possible. Such vegetables
as spinach, cabbage, carrots, lettuce,
tomatoes, asparagus, turnips, collards
and chard are especially high in the
essential vitamins. Vegetables are
also a good source of such minerals
as calcium, phosphorus, and iron
which are essential elements in the
human body.
"Furthermore, a certain quantity
of bulk food is necessary for g<>od
health, and vegetables are the main
source of 'roughage.' Because of
their succulence and relatively large
bulk the leafy vegetables and most
of the root crops probably aid in the
digestion of the more concentrated i
foods."
Naming The Farm
The Mooresville Enterprise . suggests
thai farmers name their farms,
and offers appropriate names, such
as Wayside Fruit Farm, Roselawn,
Maple I>awn, Evergreen, Red Ridge,
Sunny Brook, etc., and with the owner's
name in connection.
The editor of The Enterprise states
further that such use of a farm name
has many advantages. It can be
painted on the farm truck and used
on the labels of farm products, such
as fruit or milk. It can be employed
on letterheads and on bank checks. It
lends dignity, too, for people like to
patronize and do business with anyone
who conducts his affairs in a businesslike
way."?Monroe Enquirer.
I Works New Racket
The "city slicker" who sold the
Brooklyn bridge could have taken a
few lessons from a very obliging
stranger who made a clean-up yesterday
by renting park benches in Plant
park at a quarter a seat. Police heard
about the man taking benches out
of the park and renting them to persons
waiting to see the Gasparilla parade
but before they could get across
the Lafayette street bridge ho had
collected between $10 and $1"> and
disappeared. About the only description
officers could obtain of the man1
was from a woman who said he was
well dressed and polite.?Tampa Tribune.

SEEK TREASURE IN
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
Get Line on Peruvian Gold
Buried in 1849.
Papeete, Tahiti.?Despite the fact
that no authentic trace has yet been
found of the fabulous treasure reported
burled In the South Sea Islands,
plans have been completed for a search
for the "king's ransom" which reputedly
was taken from Peru In 1849 and
subsequently hidden on the Island of
Penacrl, Tuamotus, and the neighboring
Island of Iliti.
The background of the treasure hunt
pieced together from various Informants
In the South sens Is us follows:
Because of the political unrest In
Peru in 18-19 a number of extremely
won it by merchants and officials decided
to convert their holdings into gold
and remove the treasure to n place of
safe-keeping, presumably Spain.
Crew Captures Ship.
The gold, in Ingots, was supposedly
placed on a schooner by five trustworthy
representatives of the group,
but the guards were allegedly thrown
into the sea hy the crow of the ship
when they learned of the value of the
cargo, and the course of the vessel
changed to Australia.
After many days at sea, so the story
goes, the ship arrived at Penackl,
where part of the treasui"? was supposed
to have been burled In the lagoon,
and the remainder on the Island
of Hltl.
The schooner then cleared for Australia,
landing at Port Darwin, where
to avoid unpleasant Inquiries the ship
was destroyed by Are snd the crew,
proceeded overland to Sydney. On
this trip, it was said, several members
of the crew were killed by aborigines.
Years later while a patient in a hospital
In Australia s member of the
crew of the schooner was said to hare
told a man named Howe the story of
the treasure and to have turned over,
to him the location charts. Howe acquired
financial hacking and proceeded
to French Oceania to Investigate. His
quest was unsuccessful and he was
eventually deported wfter diflicuities
with French authorities.
Treasure Located.
Haunted hy the lure of the treasure,
Howe many years arterwar.l Interested
another man who in turn interested a
group of four other Fngi-dinmn. who
began opera* ing in French "tetania
early this year '1 iiis group claims to I
have located tie* trea-ure by means of
soundings, though r* has not actually
been seen or touched.
I he expedition i-j imw awaiting the
arrival of di\.ng apparatus. Two of
the members <>f the expedition are In
Papeete an-i the others are on various
missions.
\ nine of th?? asserted hurled treasure
lias been placed in some quarters
at the staggering sum of $70.0tX),000
in gold Ingots, plus a chest of jewels 1
of unknown value.
Two representatives of the French
government accompanied the expedition
in Its preliminary search this year.
It is reported here that the Drench government
is to receive hO per cent of
any treasure recovered.
Who Wants Justcie?
A business man, who had to leave
on a journey before the end of a
case begun against him by a neighbor,
ga\ o orders to his lawyer to
let him know the result by telegraph.
After several days he got the following
telegram: "Right has triumphed."
He at or.ee telegraphed hack.
"Appeal immediately!"
