Would Discourage Use of Foreign Oil The \<o|l(^tyLpg resolution iiave been adopted b/ the Houth Carolina Cotton Heed Cruei^*^Association: "Whereas, fo^blgn oJIh, such an cotton need oil, cocoa nut oil, palm oil, and foreign feeds, such as oorn, oats, cottonseed meal and cuku, soyu bean meal and cuke, and other similar commodities, compete with and militate against the market value of the products of cotton seed, and the importations thereof necessarily affect adversely the value of cotton seed, uud "Whereas, Government records reveal that large quantities of such commodities that compete with cotton seed products are being imported, and "Whereas, cotton seed is one of the major products of Southern agriculture and yields enormous quantities of food and feeds, which, when properly appreciated and utilized, will, economically .obviate the necessity of foreign importations of similar food and feed commodities, especially into tile South, therefore, "He It Itesolved: it is the sense of this body that the importation of foreign commodities that compete with and depress the price of cotton seed products should be discouraged. "Thai importers, especially those located in or operating in tlie South, he and they are hereby urged to contemplate the situation very broadly and to refrain, insofar as practicable, from making such importation as tend to have a depressing influence on the products of Southern agriculture, which, on account of long years of adversity, needs and deserves the support of all the people. "That copies of thiH resolution be forwarded to Senators and Congressmen from South Carolina and to the Press, In the hope that sentiment can be created that will result in the imposition of more effective restrictions ! on Imports that depress the value of I cotton seed products, and thut public ! sentiment, particularly in the South, I may be stimulated to a greater api preclation and utilization of the products of cotton seed, thus giving much needed impetus to Southern development, both In agriculture and industry."

Black Widow Sting | Is Fatal to Negro .James Heyward, 6-year-old Negro boy, was this county's first victim from the sting of a black widow spider. The child died yesterday on t 1mfarm of Kd McC'raw. The spider stung the child last Friday above the left eye. He was asleep at the time. He received medical attention, but this availed little. His (see was swollen and he registered a very high fever. Within the past month or two. reports have been received announcing that others in this county had been bitten but none of these proved fatal. The other cases were adultB.?Orangeburg Times-Democrat. ' Why Many Towns Are Drying Up Tin* Hock Hill Ilerttld says, towns do not die; they commit suicide uud tolls why he thinks so: Towns do not die; they commit suicide. "If grocers would bundle only local bukery products, the bakeries would hire more bakers, more clerks, and a number of vacant houses would fill up. "If townspeople did not go to neighboring cities to trade, dozens more clerks would be needed, all business buildings would be occupied, und u lot more empty houses would be used. "If the printing offices could have all the work which is sent out of town und to the government printing office, many more printers would huve jobs and some one would have to commence building houses. "if everyone who makes his money in this community would spend his money in this community the home town would double in population In a few years and everybody in and around it would be prosperous. Why are tin- filling stations out of all proportion to every other line of business in number? Because people buy gas and oil at home." All of which is true, but human nature, being what it is, people will continue to spend their money where they want to, regardless of where they make it. The fact that they may get some of their money back if spent at home doesn't seem to enter into their thoughts. The right kind of invitations, principally newspaper ads, bring people to a store. The right kind of merchandise at correct prices, and the right kind of service, sell goods anil make friends. The printer, the baker, "the candlesitck maker," must not depend on the loyalty of their fellow men to a community to secure their business. They have -to "deliver the goods" and do It in a way their fellow men will like. There is very little loyalty where the pocket hook is concerned.

Good Gardening In Late Summer Clemson, Aug. 3.?Like animate, plants must be fed continuously, If good results are to be obtained, und late garden crops cannot feed on fertility that has been used up earlier in the season, says A. E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist, discussing good garden practice for late summer. Well decomposed stable manure applied between the rows in August and September will make a wonderful difference in the late-growth of plants, and where this is not available or is not convenient to use, a side dressing of some quickly available form trogen should be used, he advises. Suggestions to gardeners for August attention include the following: Fall tomatoes usually bring a good price on the local market. If all the fruit fails to ripen before frost, it can be kept far into the winter wrapped in paper and laid away in a cool, dark place. Plants set now will mature fruit before forst. Use strong stocky plants and retain all the soil possible | on the roots. Set deeply and pour a pint of water around roots and cdver with thick layer of dry soil. One thing should be attended to promptly in growing rutabagas and that is to thin them to ? stand just as soon as possible. This should be done when the plants are not over > two inches high. Give them plenty of distance, leaving them eight to ten inches apart in the drill, one in a j place. This prompt thinning will pre vent them from becoming shanky.| i Plants will then be stocky and the ! roots well shaped, j Remember that consecutive planting | every 15 or 20 days keeps a supply of crisp vegetables for the home table and for market where one is available.
