A. Fletcher [&. -----It is with extreme regret and sadness that we perform our duty this week of having to prepare for publh cation the account of the death of Oscar Alexander Fletcher, "Sandy" as he was better and more familiarly known to his friends, which came in a most tragic and unexpected way early last Thursday morfting at hi* extreme despondency ended his life by shooting hiWself in the head at his home. Fletcher, 46, was born and reared in the Three C'a section of Kershaw county and was twice married, first to Miss Mamie B&rfield in 1910, and after her death to Miss Mary Williams in 1928, who with the following children of this union sun*' vive him; Billy, Jean, Evelyn and Mary Ann. The surviving children of the first marriage are:' James and JMrs. Lewis Blackmon, of Kershaw; Oscftr, Edward, U. 8. Army in Canal Zone; Robbie, Jesse Morton and Orin,, Kershaw. Several years ago M,r. Fletcher moYr ed from his home section to the Gatesj Ford community where he lived until a short, while before^ ChriBtmas when' he sold his place and bought a plant-! atlon In the Dalzell section of Sumter ! county. Very soon after he became so very much dissatisfied and despondent that, friends learning of it pnly the day before the tragedy went to his home In the effort to try to do eemething itt-hir^>ehaM but it did not avail. ?The body was brought to KerahaW for burial at Bethany Baptist- church cemetery at WestriUe. the funeral, services being conducted by the-following ministers: Rev. J. D. Gulledge, pastor of Bethany Baptist churdh,; .Hav. W. J. Bradley, pastor of the I Kershaw First Baptist church and i Rev. J. D. Griffin, pastor of the Heath I Springs and Hanging Rock Methodist j churches, on Friday afternoon at 81 I o'clock. ' Mf. Fletcher was a member of hSbamrock Baptist church, lived an honorable life and mau higK]y ^ spected by all who knew him, and it was always In the most friendly man-j j ner and with pleasant expression that JULgreeted those With whom he cafes in contact.. s Tlrep parents of Mr. Fletcher, Mrj lowing brothere a^d slstors survive: Control Of Rats Not An Easy Task "To control rats 1* not an easy tank," accordiug to (leorge H. Lay rodent control leader of the United Htutea Biological Survey, who la spending a few days In Kerahaw county with County Agent McCarley, at pawden. "However, if proper 1 precautions and oara aire taken, a farmer cSft'1?T rid of hls rVU and beep rid Of tlicin." The government recommends the uhu of Red Squill bait, as the safest, easiest and most effective means of rgt control, Mr. Lay pointed out, and this Is the method to he. used In Ker* shaw county's rat campaign, which la beginning now and which will reach g climax next Friday, March 6, the i day when everyone Is urged to put out the bait and give the rats a real dose of poison. M "Red Squill is not only effective but almost fool-proof. It will kill rats and mice but usually does not affect other animals. The reason for this is that Red Squill, which is made from a bulb-like plant, Is an emetic and causes vomiting. However, rats and mice- and all rodents, for that matter, cannot vomit. The result la that the Red Squill bait kills rats and mice and other animals get rid of the poisoned bait before It had materially affected them. Poultry are not affected. Red Squill bait kills slowly, In from three hours to five days. This is an advantage ag it means th^t late feeding rats at night will not be scared off by finding dead and dying rats lying about and also it gives the rats time, after eating the bait, to go home and die?-and that means they die in the ground, under piles of trash, lumber, under cement and wooden flooring,, etc., literally burying themselves. ""The bait is sold to the public, through a county agent's office, at cost. A package of 1 1-2 pounds costs 50 cents, which Is much cheaper than the commercial price. However, the Red Squill bait Is not available except during campaigns at such a low price. Each, package |s_ already mix-., ed, processed and sealed In cans and the can of bait, ready to be put out without mixing or any'further treatment, has complete directions printed thereon. There are three cans in each- package. Bach can has a half pound of actual bait. One can has TV.-* f meat and Red Squill, another has ft oh and Red Squill, the third has cracked grain and Red Squill. By putting out small bits from each can at each feed-" Ing point the rats are given a choice of food and the result, as far as killing rats, are better. ("A farmer may. get rid of his rats from his farm during the cold months and stay rid of them for some monthSt sometimes for a year However, It Is best for neighbors In a given commun* Ity to put out the bait at the same time, on each place. That is the reason, we have set next Friday, March 6, as the day on which to ppt out bait. "The bait Is effective In towns also, especially when the campaign is citywide. Rock Hill and Charleston both put on campaigns every once in a while and as a result keep rats under good control. Rock Hill, In particular, does an excellent job. of rat klllr lng every few months', thus preventing. Increase and spread of the animals. "There are other means of killing rats, including the use of traps, poisons of other kinds, gases and so forth. However, the use of bait is easiest*, cheapest and most effective." Persons Interested in rat control 1 should see County Agent McCarley or get in touch with the principal of the nearest high school, where some of the bait will be available. While Mr. Lay is here in Kershaw county, he is available to make any kind of talks needed along rat control or wildlife conservation work. Dr. Den O. Broughton, 72, internationally known Baptist minister, died ' at his home in Atlanta, Ga., Saturday, following an JUnes^ ol^jever&l weeks. He served as pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle in Atlanta 26 years, and' also held pastorates,, in Knoxvllle, Tenn., and of Christ Church in London.
