Organized labor in South Carolina is planning to observe labor day, a national holiday, this year, as never before Congressman Ftilmer presented to President Roosevelt the 101-pound watermelon grown in Sumter county by S J White. "My fanner constituents tell me. Fulmer said, "it was impossible to grow a melon more than 65 pounds in weight in the Hoover depression; but under the present agricultural program they tip the scales at more than a bundled pound* On Sunday. Charleston bad o\.-r six inches of rain In 12 hours, which, with a 40 mile per hour wind flooded streets, blocked every street ear line and drowned out many hoi.meddles. In some parts of town, where high tide backed up in the drains and prevented escape of rainwater, children were swimming in the streets. Two small boats broke loose from moorings and were recovered by the const guard. About 85 others in the municipal yacht basin were tilled with water and pumps were going to keep them from sinking. <59 TRAGEDY'S PRECIOUS LE88ON A whole family was wiped out in u railroad ?rousing tragedy at Cam-1 don, 8.

It aeema that nothing haa yet been dovfend hy man to forcefully enough lmpreaa the neccaalty of conatant care upon the driver* of automobile*. A moment of negligence and tragedy atepa In to take Ita precloua toll In the Uvea of men women and children. Careful driving, every minute ahould be the aim of every motorlat. Cut out apued and the chance of tragedy la proportionally reduced. A attending automobile la a menace to ita driver und to everyone that cornea in ith path, g Campaign after campaign, intended to make motorists exert cure, have been conducted. It ia hard to tell whether or not they do much real good Now the National Safety coun< II has prepared a decalogue agalnat reckless driving. Here ure ita nine rules, and tlieir grim humor makes them doubly interesting: I Your pleaaure trip haa no right to promote the other fellow'* funeral trip. 2. Watch the road, watch the other fellow, but chiefly wutch youraelf. All will benefit?by the watch. J. it a a lot better to take a little time being careful thun to have to upend a lot of time being sorry. 4. Signal what you're going to do before you do It. It Indicates you know. j f>. Stay on your Bide. The killing of the little pigs didn't reduce the i number of roadhoga. ?). Don't cuaa the other fellow. He didn't expect to meet a damn fool on the highway any more than you did. 7. Don't park on the pavement. Leave that to the plugs In the en-l g4ne. H.

In that way you'll get Just as much "kick'" - and get It all, too.?MadisonIan (Madison, Ha.). Do You Know That John J. Hooper, Kditor of the Hayward (Calif.) Dally Review, says: "Newspaper advertising coats 'more than circulars and Is worth more. Quarterly reports printed today show that two national chain store outfits sustained a small loss during the quarter just ended, while two San Francisco large department stores showed five per cent gain over last spring and 20 per cent over two years ago. The chain stores use little If any newspaper advertising, while the San Francisco stores are liberal advertisers. "Surrounding store ads with live news, particularly with live and Intimate local news that cause people to read the papers hy the hour, costs the publisher a lot of money and Is worth a lot to merchants who advertise In papers. Today the Hayward Daily Review Is paying a repair 1)111 on a straight matter linotype machine of $120. Printers who sell circulars do not pay hills for repairing news machines for they have none. The news makes the papers, carrying the ads. Welcome in the homes. They conn* as paid lor guests, while circulars onl\ intrude and find ready ac ess to tin- family waste basket. i list outers and readers owe a debt to newspapers they seldom realize or appreciate. It costs a great deal to gather the news. People want the news. They pa> a cent or two for a paper to get the news, hut 111 so doing they contribute a very small fraction of the cost of the paper they so appreciate and that serves thetn so well. I hey should go further. They should deal with advertising merchants who make possible the newspapers they read " The general public owes a debt to papers it has never paid and never can fully pay " I inlet the AAA the sugar quotas for import into the United States from t'uba. the Philippines and Virgin Islands have been reduced, while the allotments from Hawaii, Puerto Rico and full tariff duties countries have been increased. Lady Astor, native of Virginia, now a member of the Hritish house of commons, and the mother of six children. is not worried over the prospects of her re-election to parliament, even though she has espoused the unpopular issue of birth control. President Roosevelt will speak on the air at i> o'clock Saturday night, while making his speech to the Young Democrats of Milwaukee. He will be heard on a nationwide hookup. He makes a radio speech tomorrow evening to the Hoy Scouts, as compensation for cancelling their big Jamboree at Washington. News Of The Vets At Blaney Camp (Hy Israel GrosUlu) Klaney, H.

Foreman "Peggy" Team and Timekeeper Morty Hoykln, of Camden, were ulso present. After supper, host, hostess and guests went out Into the Utile garden where the men sat and smoked while they were discussing public works. Many visitors came out to camp during the week end. They were shown about the plantation by officers and members und they were highly pleased with the white-bordered lanes and driveways. All visitors are wel*| come. You are all especially Invited to come out to Frosty Lake for u swimming parly. Luke "Speed" Kelly's cooperation with our baseball team is greatly appreciated by officers and men alike Indeed, Mr. Kelly's association with us is equal to un honorary membership. ills Rig League pitching and Jimmy Hell's impassable "wutch" at llrst base helped win the seven-Inning game against the Columblu Ramblers, last Sunday afternoon.

Score 4 to 2. On Sunday mornings and evenlngB, at a time specified by General Foreman Thomas J. Gay, from Information gotten by him from nearby church leaders, the beautiful notes of "Church Call" are heard from the bugles ot either Jimmy Devore or Carl F. Self, the camp musicians. Theu Mr. Gay and his party get into the "blue truck" driven by Charlie Fitzgerald and go on to worship. Usually this party returns with a group of visitors from nearby communities. It Is then that the old southern hospltulity truly returns to the "old plantation." Harrack Leaders (). P. Ferree, Wayne ("Hill") Htghtower, Louis Knable and Wyaft C. ("Tiny") Taylor are still singing the praises of Mrs Little's gracious hospitality, although this is being written four days after the supper. "Doc" Little, however, has just whispered to your correspondent that the receptive humor of his guests made entertalng them a delightful task. My! My! My! Such Chesterfleldlan compliments! The First Lady of our camp, Mrs. Edward R. Denny, paid us a visit last Sunday afternoon accompanied by her charming young daughter, Ellen. Edward R., Junior, has been with us tor about a week mixing with the men and seeming to have an all-around good time. Other visitors wore Lieutenant and Mrs. M. It. Wolling and their daughter, Jean. Our assistant supervisor, Lieutenant George A. Middlemas plans a trip through the middle west In the very near future. He will visit St. Louis and Detroit where he plans to see his mother and other relatives and friends. He will be absent for about two weeks.

Holson, our former hookkeeper. is now our supply sergeant and Andrew JMtterofT, is our new transportation leader. \Ve take this means of thanking Scott M Caldwell for arranging our niovi.- trips to Camden. That not only helps give the nun hero a little extra ret reat ion and amusement but it also brings us in close-contact with the. citizens of Camden. Cutler orders by Captain Denny. nll( work trucks must leave camp on time for the appointed tasks. Yet, our camp supervisor is Just as emphatic, about recreation trucks leaving on, time for picture shows and other city trips. j Our camp supply officer, Lieutenant, D. W. Powell, accompanied by Otis Unborn. go Into Columbia for our supplies on week-days. It is their task to gather up all purchases for camp * | use into the large camp truck. Usually the men of the camp who have no work assignment for the day accompany the supply truck to the Capital for a morning's outing. A special mail truck, driven by Charles J. Fitzgerald, goes to Kinney' postofTice every afternoon, usually carrying a group of visitors for Hlaney. Thus all nearby cities and towns art' visited by the men each day. We write this to let you know that we are with you all the time ami our proximity to you. all. is in the nature of pleasant visitation rather than the rowdy visits "only to get drunk" as described by our thoughtless critics. If you meet a quiet and well behaved stranger on your streets, ask him where he is from and you will find that the majority of our camp's personnel are men you think to be visitors from distant cities. When we say. "Hello." Just ask us where we are front. Get to know us and you will like us for what we try to be and not for what our derogatory long-distance Judges say about us. m SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS , " I V 1 The government Is buying laud iu (< oiiimm (Ion with the Ix>ng Cane forest.
