CAN ETHIOPIA BE SUBDUED The editor of the American Freomuii bus been asked, "What are the possibilities If Ethiopia were to Whip Italy?" H1h reply follow*: Thut there's u good chuuce thut Ethiopia will defeat Mussolini In Kant Africa 1m admitted in well Informed circles, especially In England. Downiiik Street certainly known Africa and trcmldeM at what would happen if the black wurriors of ''fhe Lion of Juduh" were to Klve Mussolini the trouncing he Iiuh mo fully eurned. A victory there would Met the fires of revolt hurnliiK wherever the black men are in bondage to cupltallHtlc ImperlullMin. Not only would the scores of millions of African' Negroes rine In an attempt to throw the JinperUltot* out of their continent, hut India, not very fur away, al?o become militant. Ethiopia-*-a largo country with OOP square mllcM of territory?eun't he conquered with the ease that cra/.y M iimhoI I til thlnkH poMHlhlu. Fighting there will he unlike Europeun warla re. There will he little or no trench lighting. The Italian mechanised unltH won't he able to do anything in the mountains. MiiHHolini'H bombers have; 2.>l) iiiIIch to (ravel before they get to Ethiopia's capital, and even there they will llnd few targelH. The tanks won't he of much effectiveucHH in the. mountaliiM, in the jungle*, or in the deserts, and when the rainy hcuhou returtiH they will he that much Junk. Fighting will conHiHt inulnly of <1 ufc-k, Htrong raids on a thousand fronts. The Ethiopians will fight u few hours, and if things don't go well they'll retreat. They are fearless In hand-tohand conflicts, and If Mussolini thinks they're just a lot of painted savages with spears and shields he'll find out the truth, to his grlcjf, for those black soldiers ure well armeed, their leadership Is intelligent, they know the urenas of battle, and their supply of manhood is almost limitless, perhaps 2,000,000 in all. Mussolini's several hundred thousand soldiers, in Fust Africa against their will, will die like flies when they boil' in temperatures of 120 degrees, when they sink into mud during the rainy season. At the start, the ehttnoes are the Italians will move I far into Ethiopiun territory, hut this, despite tiie eheering of the Italian press, will serve to undo Mussolini's army for tin* further they enter Ethiopia tlit* more intenuble their position will become. They will he far from their base of supplies. The Ethiopians will hurass them on all sides. Raiding parties striking unexpectedly here and there will cut the Italian line and perhaps result in complete victory for the Negroes. Mussolini s&5'R his mechanized urmy won't be hindered by Ethiopia's lack of roads and other transportation facilities. Rut this is merely Idle chatter. If roads aren't Important for Mussolini, then why has he shipped 22,000 Italian laborers to East Africa to build roads in ills colony adjoining the country he intends to invade? If he is using 22.OO0 men in that narrow strip, he'll need 10 times that number when he begins going into a country that intends to fight to the last breath to defeat the robots of Mussolini, us they defeated the Italians in 1X96 in a battle that still rankleH. Mussolini is too conceited to admit lie may he defeated, but students of International affairs are not at all sure that he can have his way against the Ethiopians. Furthermore, they see the possibility of great mutinies once the Italian army receives a few stinging defeats. The Italian army has always been ready to run away, as it showed during the World war. Mussolini seems to be signing his own death warrant. Emil Zeller, Richmond.

Lafayette JSridge Opened To Public Oeowtown, July 22. ? Lafayette bridge, Georgetown county's $750,000 span across the Wacamaw and Pee Dee rivers, was formerly dedicated with much upeecbmaking, a big collection <>r notables of thin state, and u big time generally. A crowd of 5,000 person* thronged Georgetown streets and the waterfront for the . all-day celebration, which Included boat races In the Ham* pit river uud un air show at the ii^unlctpal uirport. The bridge, recently completed as a 1'U'A project, couneete Georgetown with the heach resort* of Wacamaw Neck. It waH opened to trafTlc ubout three weeks ago. The dedicatory address was made by state Honator 8. Mortimer Ward, of Georgetown. Other speakers included Senator James F. Hymns, of South Carollnu, Mayor Hurnet K. Maybank, of Charleston, and Chief High1 way Commissioner Hen M. Sawyer. Governor Olln D. Johnston Hew down from Columbia to extend his greetings and congratulations and left immediately for Charleston to attend the state convention of'Young Democrat clubs convention. Making It a gala festive occasion people from every county In this state and many other states thronged the city or waterways to fittingly commemorate the forging of the last link of U. S. highway 17, completing the shortest through pav^d route between Muine and Florida. Beginning festivities of the day a huge parade was staged. The Paris island marine hand, 18 South Carolina highway corps, three South Carolina national guard units and the Georgetown unit of the fourth fleet division the United States naval reserves had prominent purta in the parade. H. L. Smith, mayor of Georgetown, welcomed the visitors on behalf of the city of Georgetown. He declared thai Colo L. ^ Mease aided materially In helping to pass the first legislation to get the bridge started. Mr. Smith, also praised Senator Byrnes, Congressinan Casque and Mayor Maybauk of Charleston for their aid in getting the bridge through. Harrell Siau, chairman of thb Georgetown county board of commissioners, the next speaker, sluted that securing the Lafayette bridge was the greatest and hardest political light that the county has ever known. Representative Allard H. Casque In short speech complimented this section on this wonderful bridge and declared that Harrell Slau is the moBt tactful, man he ever saw. Mr. Gasque announced that he has just gotten out of committee hearing $10,000 to build a marker to commemorate the first landing of Lafayette on American soil. Hen Sawyer declared the completion of the Lafayette bridge was a great credit to South Carolina and Georgetown county. He said that the bridge should be a free bridge and not a toll bridge. South Carolina freed every bridge It got its hands on and the Lafayette bridge should be freed of tolls, he said. Cole L. Hlease Congratulated the county officials upon completion of this new bridge. He also said that Congressman Gasque deserved much praise in getting the first bill passed through congress enabling construction of the bridge. The ambassador of France, Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper and Eugene S. Hlease, wired their regrets. Col. J. Monroe Johnston, lirst assistant of commerce, declared that the South Carolina low country was coining into Its own by the construction of tliis new bridge. Hen Leppard, chairman of the state Democratic party, and Cot. Wytuiham M .Manning made a few congratulatory remarks concerning the bridge. John P. Grace, former high commissioner; Colonel Ward and the other associates who contributed materially to the construction ,of the Lafayette bridge. Fay Emerson, editor of The Charleston Evening Post, and Tommy S McMillan, congressman from the First district, and Stanley Llewellyn, A. M.

A Montgomery, Jr., In Carolina Co-Operator) To muuy North Carolinians, aa well us others, the groundpea or p?'?mut or plain "goober" in just something to eat, nothing more, But of all tho produc ts of Curolina llelds there Is none, perhaps, unless It Is versatile cotton, that is used In so many different purposes, as the humble peanut. Over Halifax county way, which has not only the largest peanut market In North Carolina but in the world, thousands of acres of the valuable product are seeded In the spring, which yield large crops lu November when they are threshed. It is on account of this selfsame large yield per acre?around a thousund pounds?thut North Carolina with only about half thu acreage of Georgia, which state plants more acres of peanuts than any other, Is able to show a crop over twice as large as her sister state to the south. Before the Civil war, the peanut was considered worthless commercially. There an; several versions as to the manner In which it was introduced Into America. One has It that the j peanut, a native of Brazil, was found ^ growing in that country by early Spanish and Portuguese explorers. From iliere, so it is said, the plant was brought to Florldu, spreading slowly to the limit of its natural range ' I in Virginia. According to another version It was brought to America from Africa In tlie | days when the slave traffic was flourishing. Credence is lent to this story by the Negro's fondness for the plant, since most of them set out a small patch of peanuts in the small plot alloted to each group by early plantalion owners. The Civil war, which changed the South in so many ways, brought out the peanut's commercial possibilities. Hungry soldiers, foraging for food of 1 any kind to bolster their slender rations, discovered the exceptional sustaining qualities of the neglected peanut. Its fame began to spread after the war, and Southern farmers soon found it profitable to include a few I acres of "ground peas" in their planting programs. As new uses for the crop developed, the production of pea- i nuts grew by leaps and bounds, until in 11126, the all-time peak year, well over a billion and a quarter pounds of peanuts were marketed in the South, ' North Carolina's yield being greater than that of any other state. Known pricipally as confession, the peanut has an amazing array of other , uses. In one guise it serves as a sub- , stitute for olive oil; during the .war its hull were used to polish tin plates, and it also forms the base for a popular soup. In Tuskegee, Ala., a Negro by name of Carver, lias found between two and three hundred uses for the peanut, ranging from a special food for some cases of undernourishment to a base for phonograph records. Peanuts yield from thirty to fifty per cent of their weight in an unusual oil, which, as stated, is used as a substitute for olive oil. In fact, it Is Haid to be difficult to distinguish one from the other, so great is the similarity in coler and general appearance. The oil also is used iu the manufacture of some kinds of butter substitutes, in packing llsli, and the cheaper grades are used for oiling machinery in many mills. In former times the oil was also utilized for lighting purposes. After peanuts are pressed for their oil content, a cake remains which is used for livestock feed and is shipped all over the Fuited States from the Old North State. In other eases the residue from the pressing is employed as a special. ???rtili.Ti.>r. I'he peanut hull has long presented a problem, lor it is about the only part l of the plant lor which some use lias not been found. Kven the pinkishlooking husk enclosing the kernel itself is used in the manufacture of dye to some extent. But the hull seems i to be a total, or near-total, loss. During the World war, as mentioned, the hulls were used to polish tin plate, but since that time wheat bran has been found more efficient and easier to obtain. Many of the peanut mills use the hulls for fuel, but because of I the great wastage represented by this I part ot the peanut countless experii nients have been undertaken in the ^ seatch for a more satisfactory use or i uses. j According to the I*. S. Department , of Agriculture, the peanut contains approximately one-half pound of fat and one-quarter pound of protein of a fine grade to the pound and that. ! eaten In moderation, will put weight on the skinniest person. Besides bej ing consumed as a confection or as a part of various candies, the peanut has come to he widely used when t ground into peanut butter. Contrary to a belief in some sections, It is I easily digested by most persons. Tho best soil for peanuts and the ! kind found in the North Carolina peai nut belt is a fine, well-drained, sandy loam, but in order to aid the forma; tlon of the hull n preparation con, taining gypsum and known as land plaster is placed In the ground. 1 Among the common varieties grown In this State are the Virginia and North Carolina bunch, the jumbo runner, tlie Spanish, and the Wilmington runner. All except the runners proiuce their crop underneath the surface attached to the main root stock; lie runners, however, bloom and then 3end down Into the earth the tendrils nu which the bloomB appear, the peanuts growing attached thereto.
