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.

! 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

The Lowly Peanut '
| Put To Many Uses
i (My K. 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.
