An old man answered "Time was we knew The sound of hammer and lathe In here, We worked at tho benches year by year And slowly but surely the village grew. ; We were the tollers who worked for hire. Ours were the bodies that had to bear Day after day in that factory there Weight of the loads and the heat of fire. "One day thoro came to the factory gate A stranger who tilled our minds with disgust. He called our employer unfair and unjust. And taught us to quarrel, taught us to hate. "We fought, the boss, baited him, asked more and more; Called him names until stand It no longer he could. Since to hire men Is evil, he said. ' 'I'll be good!' And In- closed up forever that factory door." Swoedish factories are reported as being working night and day to till orders for goods to go to Italy. Senator William (1.

Sneak Thief Arrested Ho may not be the meanest of thieves, but he certainly bus nothing to commend him to anyone, Oscar l,aney, white man, aged about 25, is alleged to have admitted to Chief of Police Ross, that he and another white man, on Friday night entered the First Presbyterian church here and carried away a lot of silver belonging to the church, and also a lot of canned fruit that was being collected to be sent to the Thornwoll orphanage at Clinton. Chief Itoss Is expecting the arrest of the other member of the pair of sneak thieves right shortly. Ho is known, but lives outside Rock Hill. Eauey and another man were seen n.ear the Fried helm garage on Saluda street Friday night by police, and when the theft of the church's silver was reported on Saturday, suspicion fell on I>auoy and his side kick.

MIKE TELL8 THE WORLD HOW TO WALK AND RIDE deer mr. edditor: ? I have benn asked by the mayer of our cltty and the poleesman to rite up | some rules and reggeriatlon as to how traffic should be handled und how pedestrians and car driwers should act while in their daily routeen i of blzness ansoforth. 1?when you run over anyboddy who is walking, slap on yore brakes and jump out of yore ford and pick thorn up and carry them to the nearest drug stoar and turn him or her over to the resshtent doctor, if nnny, .befoar proceeding on where you are going, don't newer hit anuy person or persons and run. 2?if you have tommies In yore head, always drive as fast as possible around corners, allso at street inter-sections, and otlulr dangerous places, this is a fine way to get rid of yore termites: they will all die when yore head gets busted open and the sun shines on them, lots of folks seem to have dry rot of tlie brains. Judging from the way they drive. 3?when you back yore model "t" out and bust another feller's fender who is parked right, and you had parked catty-cornered, hurry on off; don't ever lot anybody know who done the damage, that ain't any worse than stealing or gambling or bootlegging, and besides?he is more able to have it tlxed than you are. 4?when passing a sensible drivver going over a hill, always close yore eyes, and then you won't ever know who killed you or who you killed, remember this, you ain't the only fool on the highway that lias holt to a steerage wheel: there are others, drive as close as possible to the guy in front of you. if he stops of a sud den, sue him in the coarts, or yore add-ministrators and assigns can do ao. __ .? 5?If you hnppon to be a pedestrion, always stand up for yore right, walk lus front of a car while tho lights is changing, and keep in tho middle of the road, and Jaywalk when possible, ttliu unyruu v?u iue uii*oi iu st-o yuu and stop, and try to step ih front of a fast moving truck, and don't forget to act noncher-lant at all times, this is the easiest way in the world to find out how the pearly gates look or how brimstone smells.

The recent rapid rise in retail prices of meat makes a Btrong argument in favor of the farmer providing his own supply of fresh, cured, and canned meat to take care of tils family and farm needs for the coming year, thinks J. K. Hawkins, extension animal husbandman. During the period July, 1934, to July, 1935, Mr. Hawkins points out, lard lias made the greatest gain, a rise of 83.8 per cent, pork chops 45.1 per cent' and whole smoked hams 22.1 per cent. / Prices of beef have likewise shown an increase ranging from a gain of 28.8 per cent for round steak to 42.2 per cent for chuck roasts. Other cuts and klinls of meats have risen in proportion, making meats an expensive item of the diet to purchase. "If no arrangements have been made to have pigs In your feeding ppn to butcher this winter, there is 'still time to buy feeder pigs weighing 50 to 100 pounds and with good care and feeding they should gain around 50 pounds per month," says Mr. Hawkins. "At this rate of gains they will be heavy and fat enough to make satisfactory killing hogs by midwinter. "The matter of supplementing the grain ration with a protein supple? ment such as skimmilk, Ash meal, or tankage should not be overlooked since this part of the ration is absolutely necessary to satlsfacory and rapid gains. "Many farmers might well feed out a beef to butcher and can late in the winter. IJeef cattle are relatively cheaper than hogs. Canning is an excellent method of preserving the fresh cuts of both beef and pork so it will keep through the entire season or until used." Warns Farmers Of Cotton Boll Rots Clcrnson, Sept. 21.?A survey of cotton fields of the eastern half of the state, made September 9-13 by Dr. ('. H. Arndt, associate plant pathologist of the South Carolina Experiment Station, showed that boll rots are very prevalent because of the long continued rains in that region. These rots have caused especially heavy losses in the southeastern portion, some fields showing over 75 per cent of the bolls blackened and rotted by the Diplodla boll rot, with losses from 10 to 25 per cent not uncommon. "Seed from bollB Injured by boll rots is likely to germinate very poorly and seedlings from such seed are likely to be diseased and weak," says Dr. Arndt. "We found that approximately 75 per cent of the diseased bolls were originally infected by the anthracnose fungus, although the final rotting may have been due to a secondary infection by other fungi. Since the anthracnose fungus is the most important cause of losses of stand (damping-off or soreshin) of cotton seedlings and since the disease is introduced into the field primarily with infected seed, special precautions may be desirable to avoid possible heavy losses vfr'om damping-off next season. "A second cause of possible low seed germination was - the partial germination of ipuch of the seed in the open ami partly opened bolls during the rainy period September 1-12. Seed which has boon exposed to prolonged rains in the field is usually dead or infected by fungi and if germination does occur the seedlings are likely to be weak." Four precautions are suggested by Dr. Arndt to assure a supply of satisfactory seed for next season. Carefully conserve all old 'seed of high germination by storage in a dry wfcll ventilated house. When possible keep seed from early pickings made in dry Weather separate from that harvested during less favorable weather. Make germination tests of seed before planting to assure planting seed which will gewninate strongly. More emergence of the root from the seed is not a criterion of satisfactory germination. The seed should be kept under observation until the roots have reached a length of 3 to 4 Inches. Since there is widespread prevalence of anthracnose it will be advisable to treat all seed with some fungicidal dust such as Ceresan, unless one Is certain that the seed is free of anthracnose spores externally and internally.
