After returning from big Western
trip, President Roosevelt made a
change of pqltgy and again smiled
- upon PWA and Secretary Ickes, who
had been obscured for some time by
WPA and Harry Hopkins. PWA helps
build only public buildings which are
permanent. The President, this week,
alloied grants of $9,531,459 and loans
of $264,500 to public works projects
numbering 103 with a total cost of
,$21,733,568. People with whom he
talked on his Western trip told him
there was much dissatisfaction thcif
about slighting permanent works for
i boondoggling relief projects.
| Dr. A. Eugene Austin, personal physisian
to John D. Rockefeller, Sr., believes
the American financier Will realize
his ambition to li^a to be 100
years old. "At 97," Dr. Xustin* said,
"Mr. Rockefeller Is alert, active and
I keenly interested In wordly affairs.
He is 20 years younger than his age."

Poultry Flocks Show
Profits From Layers
Clemson, Sept, 28.?An average production
of 11.1 eggs for August was
shown by the 6995 hens on 62 farms
with poultry demonstration flocks,
says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman.
The hens ate 20.9 cents worth of
feed each, and returned a total Income
of 38 cents, Including sale of
eggs and poultry, leaving an income
above feed cost of 17 cents per bird
for the paonth.
The average monthly charge for interest
on investment, depreciation on
equipment, and all other costs except
feed, is approximately 3.5 cents per
hen, according to records of the four
previous years. Deducting this amount
from the income above feed cost, the
labor income for the month was 13,6
cents per hen.
Miss Gilmer Blankenship of Union,
obtained the highest egg production
among flock owners with less than
fifty birds. Her 22 Rhode Island Red
hens laid 29 eggs each during ithe
month. T. F. Sowell of Chesterfield,
made the highest record among?flock
owners having between 51 and 200
birds in their flock. His flock consisted
of 172 White Leghorn hens and
laid 26 eggs each during the month.
F. L. Allison of Olar, made the highest
record in the class between 201
and 600 hens. His flock of 317 White
Leghorns laid 14'eggs each.
Wins 8pitiing Contest
Fishersville, Va., Sept. 24.?Jasper
Davis, bronted and robust Fishersville
farmer, succesfully battled. -A.
high wind here today to win the title
of "Spittingest" man in South River
.District.
Taking a generous "chaw" from his
hip-pocket plug, Davis scored a bull's
eye at 12 feet 9 inches .to lead the
field by a full Inch.
Bill Barton, who prefers the tobacco
twist, spat' mightily but lacked accuracy
beyond 12 feet 8 Inches.
The wind was too much for Jake
Kiblinger, another veteran whose
best efforts were far short of the
leaders. He claimed third place with
a measured-range of 8 feet f inches.
Prim mjaids and housewives discreetly
retired to the fancy work departments
of the Fishersville Community
Fair, while the "Spittoon
Nimrods" warmed up for their battle
for one of the most cherished titles
in the district.
- A crowd of admiring men and boys
?with tycir backs to the wipd?
looked on, but the champion received
little acclaim from the housewives.
They said the contestants wGrc less
accurate at home.
Joseph Chandler was robbed by an
unidentified negro and thrown qff a
railroad embankment, near WinstonSalem,

there a little later.

. .1 uudertoook to learn to 'puuch
lightning" when 1 was IB years of
age. I might explain that puuchlng
lightning was telegraphing In those
days. I kept Vback" about 6 miles
from the Small-town telegraph office,
and walking that distance every day
had 4>egun to prove OtittOIKiWlo ray
nether limbs.
.. 1 figured that a bicycle was what
1 must have, but it took money to
buy bicycles, and that is one of the
many things that I rarely ever saw,
much less ever owned. I never actually
possessed enough cash to rattle
till after I was 26 years of age.
.. A friend told me that there was a
bank at the county seat. 22 miles
from my home, that plight let a
worthy fellow have some money. 1
stood In with the conductor and flagman
on a freight train passing t>ur
station, and they let me ride to the
city in quest of funds for the purpose
of getting off my feet.
..On my first visit to the bank I
never was auccesful in getting up
enough nerve to ask the banker for
the loan. Every time I started toward
his window, my mouth would
get so dry I couldn't utter a sound,
and I sweated like a glass of lemonade,
even tho it was winter time. I
almost rubbed the paint oft the Cashier's
counter sliding to and fro past
his porthole.
..I hung around till 2 o'clock; they
closed the bank then and put me out.
That was a hard day's work. I made
4 more trips to that bank, worrying
and turning red In the face before
I mustered up enough?courage to explain
my mission. I finally got a conference
with the boss, but as $20.00
was a very large sum to loan, he
called 2 others in to pass on the advance.
I got the $20.00. That man got my
banking business, after I got far
enough along to have a bank account,
for 18 years. He was the first man
to extend me a favor, and even tho
he has passed away, he is still one
of the biggest men I ever knew I
bought the bicycle. I rode it half the
time and it rode me half the time.
The roads were so bad and often so
muddy, I had to tote the vehicle for
10 or 15 miles a week. I paid my
note promptly after getting my first
Job. My check was for $30.00 (per
month), and that left me $7.00 for
board and $3.00 for my first suit of
underwear. ?

Admiral Sims Dies
In Boston Monday
Boston, Sept. 28.?Admiral William
8. Slins, 77, wartime commander of
the American fleet in European waters,
died of a heart attack at a daughter's
home here today.
The retired naval officer, who would
have been 78 next October 16, underwent
an operation in Juuo and ap- peered
to be regaining hie health. !
[Mrs. Robert Hopkins, the daughter
at whose home he died, said he had
suffered the heart attack yesterday
but had lingered until today.
Funeral plane have not yet been
completed.
The admiral is survived by his
widow, the former Anne Hitchcock,
St. Ix)uis; three daughters, Mrs. Hopkins.
Mrs. Robert Flake, Mrs. Kiting
Morrison^ two sons, William Snowden,
Jr., and Ethan.
Sims, to use his own words "Just
scraped In" to the Naval academy In
1876, to start a career that took him
to the top in naval ^circles. He was
appointed from Pennsylvania on his
second attempt to enter the academy.
He fell so far short of requirements '
in his first examination that his Congressman
was advised by Aqnapolfs
authorities not to submit his name
the second time. The congressman,
however, Ignored the advice and" renominated
young Sims
Throughout his career he was an
outspoken critic of American naval
methods but usually won the eventful
support of his superiors.
Sims' criticisms of the navy began
when he was a young officer stationed
in China. Later, while in Petrograd,
he filed more reports of "faulty"
naval methods than all other attaches
combined.
He leveled many of his written
shafts at what he termed faulty construction
of battleships. He narrowly
escaped courtmartial for his writings
to his superiors.
When Theodore Roosevelt was assistant
secretary of the navy, Sims
suggested target practice for the entire
fleet. The secretary followed the
suggestion. An old windjammer was
(the target. After firing several thousand
rounds of ammunition at it, the
navy hit it twice.
When Roosevelt became president,
Sims sent him a letter direct, withotit
the formality of sending It "through
channels." . It demanded trpget practice
for the fleet. Roosevelt ordered
"that young man", to Return from
China. He ordered that Sims be given
entire charge of target practice for
eighteen months.
When Sims finished his assignment,
Roosevelt declared:
"Commander Sims has done more
for target practice than Any other
man in the United States."
In 1908, as the American navy was
ready for its memorable cruise around
the world, Sims, through friend,
caused to be published a series of
articles attacking the construction of
American warships. The controversy
thus created brought a storm of public
comment. "
The senate and higher naval officers
took steps to pitnlsh Sims.
.^President Roosevelt ordered all
charges dropped.
From that date naval construction
underwent drastic changes, In line
with Sims' off-repeated suggestions.
When the World War broke out,
Sims was president of the War college.
He was assigned to command
destroyers operating from British
ba??s. Later, with the rank of vice
admiral, he commanded a largfer fleet
and finally was given the title of commander,
United States naval forces
operating in European waters.
'\ Before the war ended, he was promoted
to the rank of admiral and
given command of all American warships
In the war zone. He reverted
to: the rank of rear admiral at the
close of the war. June 21, 1930, he
was given the permanent rank of admiral.
h ? After
the war he resumed his criticisms
of American naval methods. He
declined to accept the% distinguished
service medal, maintaining the medal
hkd been conferred on men who were
not deserving of It and denied others
who had earned it.
81ms was born at Port Hope, Canada.
His father,, a civil engineer,
whose family had lived in Pennsylvania
for 200 years, brought the bo*
to Pennsylvania at the ags of seven. ~
Since his retirement from the navy
I* October, 1922, at the age of 64.
Sims had devoted considerable time
to lectures. . . $

Proper Ginning
Means Better Lint
V' mmmmmmmemmmrnmamm 7 ' **
Clemtion, Sept. 26.?In Calling fur^
ther attention to improved methods
of ginning cotton, n. B. Q. Prichard,
assistant agronomist of the Clemson
College extension Service, who has
recently visited a number of cotton
farmers and glnners throughout the
state, asserts that he has found the
majority of them glad to cooperate
in trying out the experiments which
have been conducted in the United
States Department of Agriculture's
ginning and conditioning, the value of
a bale of cotton can be increased $1.60
to $4.60 per bale. Among the factors
to be taken into consideration in order
to get these results, as pointed
out by Mr. Prichard, are:
Cotton should not be picked green
and wet, and care should be taken
in keeping out trash and leaves.
Cotton should be taken to the gin
as dry and clean, as possible.
To avoid damage to the fibre and
the seed care must be taken in storing
or sun-drying the cotton. ?
dinners can cooperate in conserving
the quality of the cotton by improving
the speed at which it is fed
in the gin stands.
Experiments in the Mississippi laboratory,
Mr. Prichard Nexplains, re- j
veal that there Is considerable differ-.
ence in cotton Bamples from cotton |
ginned with a tight seed roll and that
ginned /With a loose seed roll. The
quality can further be Improved by
the ginners'using proper cleaning machinery.
