Industrial Newa Review, THE RURAL PRESS There are aomc 15,50(1 newapapera and periodicals published in this country. The greutoat proportion of thorn are amuR-town weeklies, dailies and aoml-weekllea, and magazines whoso principal appeul la to the rural d w ?dler. The Importance, the Influence, and the work of these publication can hurdly be exaggerated. They are, aa the Sun Francisco Argonaut haa writton, "the chief influence In the thought habits of our rural population of liftyfour million." And the character of their comment, both in newa and editorial departments, well repays those who peruse them. A? a result, the recent contest held by the magazine "Country Home" to pick the best country newspaper correspondent in the I'nlted States, was of much more importance and Interest than contests usually are. The winner, a woman, lives In a Missouri town which has u population of twenty-seven, and is lifteen miles from (lie nearest railroad. For forty-four years she has been local correspondent for a rural paper in her county. Urban editors, on reading excerpts' from her correspondence, have been amazed by its (luullty. It does not deal with crimes and misdemeanors.( Instead it tells of the crops, of the trials, tribulations and achievements of farm people wlio rarely make the metropolitan headlines, but who, happily, are more numerous and more vital to the nation than our gangsters, our political and business renegades, and our ex-show-girl divorcees. Most interesting of all, this woman's correspondence, line as it is, Is not greatly different from that of other rural correspondents. Winners of lesser prizes in the contest show the same qualities?the same command of < lear and vivid Kngllsh. The country newspaper, little known as it is to the city dweller, is one of the finest, most permanent, and most deservedly successful influences in our American life. Last, but not least, it is the out-1 standing guardian of the nation in up-1 holding our Constitution and Amori-, can ideals. Industrial News Review.

Urges Tobacco As , Crop For County To Editor Chronicle: 1 would aypredate space lit your good payer for publication of the following, which I hope will be of vital iutoreat to the farmers of Kershaw county, purlieu* larly the smull farmer! It has beeu my observation that an a whole, and % a* a rule, that the farmer of Kershaw county knows ouly 'one crop for a money crop, and that crop Is qoltou, and It has also been my observation that it Is particularly the small farm* ur who has been, the real sufferer from the cotton curtailment program. It Is a known fact that the progressive* uess and prosperity of any community depends entirely upoii the prosperity of the farmer. This, of course, refers to agricultural districts and Kershaw county is strictly an agricullure producing district. In the days gone by when the price of cotton was souring high, cotton and cotton only was all right as a sole money crop, but that duy for Kershaw county has passed. The runners of this county have got to look to other crops us u meuns of uddlng to their incomes. N'ovy comes the question as to what these other crops will he. My principle purpose in writing this article is In the interest of getting tobacco started in Kershaw county 011 as large a scale us possible. i have heurd it repeatedly said since I have resided in Kershuw county that tobacco could not be successfully grown in this county. Such statements are not true. We huve as lino funning land in Kershaw county as can bo found in the state, and a greater percentage of it will grow un excellent grade of tobacco, and the only real reason thut it won't grow it, is that some farmers are too lazy to grow it. Tobacco is not a hurd crop to grow. On the contrary it is a very easy crop to grow. It is true that it will take experience to grow a Hue grade of tobacco, and to adapt it to native land. It would be foolishness for any farmer to Hatter himself to think thut"ills llrst year planting tobacco is the best money crop per acre of all crops grown in South Carolina. With the pluming of tills crop on a wide scale in Kershaw county, there naturally arises the question of planting coutructs. This Is an issue. It is my belief that if enough farmers in Kershaw county are interested in planting tobacco, and will come together in a united | effort, that it will be possible to sej cure an allotment for this county. I would like for each and every farmer In this county who would be interested in this movement ty give me their nunies and i shuii be glud to contact the proper authorities with a view to securing a tobacco allotment for Kershuw county. As stated before in this article, the farmers of this county in their own interest, have got to find some other cryp other than cotton as a means to adding to their income, and I llrmly believe that tobacco will go a long way toward solving this problem. What information 1 possess in regards to this crop I shall be glad to give any farmer who desires it, and shall be glad to assist in any way possible the starting of planting this crop on a wide scale In this county.?F. M. Bryant, Jr. ? The Killers of Dr. Weiss 1 The body guard of Senator Huey Long are murderers, just the same as j is any gang of gunmen who 011 occasion shoot down a fellownian. There was no sense in these gangsters, thugs, killing Weiss. They could easily have taken him Into custody; ?rrtttfrrt - - ho.ua ? -1 ? v-M mill 111 jtxil then taken every precaution to have secured for liini a trial in a court of justice and convicted him alul executed him within the limits of recognized law. The killing of Weiss was not a spur of the moment affair. It had been the deliberate plan of Long's bodyguards for months that they would kill any one who attacked ttieir chief ?anywhere at anytime. It was not j just 11 question of protecting the life of their chief, but or killing, murder| ing. any one who had the temerity. | the guts, the foolhardiness to attack j Long. He himself had perhaps urged them | to kill in case he was attacked no | matter by whom, or when or where, j He had probably reiterated this order so often that the bodyguard acted as j automatically as did the guns they I used in the slaughter of the fool who | shot 'Long. And that being true, though of course they did not foresee who their victim would he. they are 'just as guiltn of cold blooded murder | as was Weiss when he shot Long; it ! was as cold blooded murder, as when ; any gangster shoots down a victim; ! they are as guilty of murder as any killing done by Join; Hamilton. Baby ! Face Nelson or any other notorious | gangster. | But to be sure, in the state of mind I existing In Louisiana, the killers will ; not be tried for their killing, and if rled they would be acquitted, but after all they are cold blooded murderers.?Yorkvillo Enquirer. WHEN A SNAKE BITES YOU | Condensed from Belefttiftc American W. A. Hevan Undoubtedly the beat protection against poisonous snakes lis a keen eye. With few exception* the only dangerous* snake is the one you do not see. It la generally the snake under a log or rock hidden In bush ^ or grass root* ami Inadvertently touched or istepped on, which strikes. The biiake you see a few feet uway will do you no harm, provided you ntuy awayfrom It. Ats the largest anakeM of thla country sseldoin bite above the ttilf, put)Htuntlal boot* offer protection. Hecent tests have shown 'that neither water moccasins nor rattlesnakes can puncture the lightest leather regularly used in leather leggings. ' Research In the past seven years has revolutionized the treatment for snake bite. Serum plays no part today in such treatment In the one Institution where the snakebite mortality is lower than anywhere else in the world. The Hubert H. Green Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, treat more cases of rattlesnake bite in three months than any other institution in this country treats in as many years, and the. mortality Is less than 2 per cent. The successful technique used in this hospital, and recently accepted, for use by the entire United States Army, was developed by Dr. Dudley Jackson. His intensive researches Into all known treatments proved to him that the only uniformity successful treatment was surgical: short, deep incisions at and around the bite and the removal of poisonous fluids with suction cups at Intervals for an extended period, often two days. Snake vernom Is a powerful irritant, setting up a rapid outpouring of I lymph from the blood, which causes swelling. In the swollen area there is a mixture of venom and lymph, which Is slowly absorbed through the lymph channels. In the San Antonio treatment the absorption of the venomlzed lymph Is retarded by the application of an elastic tourniquet, which is not tight enough to slop the blood circulation. Incissions a quarter of an inch deep, in the form of a cross, an- then made all over the swollen I area, and suction bulbs are applied for about 20 minutes in every hour as long as there is any lymph to remove." During the intervals between Suet ion periods packs soaked in lipI Horn salts are applied to the bitten ! limb. Records show that those bitten may i reet ive from the snake anything frtni no venom in a few cases to several times a lethal dose in others. The majority will recover, without treatment, or even In spite of mistreat-! ment. Sometimes a snake's fang strikes a bono, and most of the venom is secreted on the outer skin. Often fangs are embeded and withdrawn so quickly. Hut iu a minority of snake bites the snake embeds its fangs deeply, holds on for a fraction of a second, and Injects a killing dose of poison. In a majority of cases, incision and suction, properly carried on. Is the only treatment necessary. A recent report of the American Medical Association, recognizing the importance of Dr. Jackson's work, states that though serum is valuable, "it should never be allowed to replace local incision and suction." I London newspapers commenting on tin death of Senator Ixing "regret" the assassination, but offered no "sympathy" for Long himself. The Evening Standard said: "Although tin re will bo no general regret In (ircat Britain at the method whereby Hu> y Ixmg met his death, there was [no uxuad sy mpathy for him nor for any dictator." I he British air ministry has announced the formation of Ave new royal air force bombing squadrons of eleven bombers each, to be stationed in western England.

Tientsin.-^The deadline for the eradication of the opium evil In China has been fixed us 1040 by (Jen. Chiang Kulahek In u set of new regulutlony governing the production, distribution and use of tlie poppy product. The first step In the program la the careful registration of all opium growers, distributors and smokers by provincial authorities within a period of six months, with severe penalties to be Inflicted upon those who fall to complete this task. Poppy planting Is to be prohibited In the-eastern provinces, but permitted In the frontier provinces under regulations which provide for gradual decrease of production until completely eradicated In 1040. Opium, then may be manufactured and dlstr)j)U^{i only by registered and authorized agencies. To Trsat Addicts. Transportation will be intrusted solely to the opium suppression supervisory hoard, and will be stored only In government supervised warehouses. Opium dealers will lie registered and gradually suppressed. Cllulcs for cure of the habit will be established throughout the country. The provinces, municipalities and hslens will organize official committees to supervise the task. They will be responsible to provincial authorities, who will he responsible to Chiang. A visit by the correspondent to one of the numerous narcotic treatment clinics now being operated by Chinese authorities gave a clew to the strenuous efforts being made to eradicate the Illicit use of narcotic drugs. Hundreds of these Institutions are being opened by the government and provincial authorities quietly and without publicity. The Tientsin Narcotic Treatment center maintained by the Chinese administration in this city may be taken as a typical institution. Volunteer Patients. About .100 5)atients can be aoooinznoduted in tlm ceqter, nod additional wards are being rushed to completion. Approximately 50 per cent of the patients voluntarily submitted themselves for the cure. Each patient Is tattooed wtth a special mark Indicating he has taken the cure. If later he Is caught using the drugs again he is shot. Excuses and alibis t are futile. Patients are Impressed with the deadly seriousness of the government's intention to stamp out the narcotic menace. They are warned that they sign their own death warrants by using the narcotic a second time. *?"y- ' Mongol Chiefs Forsake Ponies for Racing Cars Pelplng.?Princely descendants of Genghis Kahn no longer gallop across their steppeland domains In Inner Mongolia on wiry, shaggy Mongol ponies. Mongol princes today are, as a rule, too stout to enjoy such energetic and vigorous travel. But the real reason Is that nine out of ten of these prairie noblemen prefer the speed and comfort of their American-built automobiles. The makes and models of those royal conveyances vary widely. The eccentric ruler of one minor banner owns one of the prize exhibits, a model of the early 20s. Unlike his more patrician fellow-princes, Prince Ma usually drives himself. The start of one of his royal progresses is a sight worth watching. The battery having gone long ago, Prince Ma's ancient vehicle is always started by being pushed across the prairie by a half-dozen of bis ragged, colorful bodyguard. The prince snaps the switch, the motor spits and backfires, then with a grin as It catches, Prince Ma clatters on his way. Other princes have more up-to-date cars, some sporting even 'Hie latest 3 two streamline models. High Lama dignitaries also .usually travel from monastery to monastery in their own sedans, gifts of devout princes or purchased with contributions from Mongol worshipers. Gasoline is an ever-present problem. 1 he princes maintain their own dumps, usually brought in by camel caravan Mrs. Shell West spent the week end with her parents In Rock Hill.
