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. I

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.

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

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.

CHINA STARTS BI6
WAR ON OPIUM EVIL
Hopes for Complete Eradication
in Five Years."
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.
