THE RU8T COTTON PICKER ; The recent demonstration of the Rust cotton picker aroused widespread interest all over the South.. | j People puzzled by the conflicting rej Poi'ts published after the demonstra^ tion will be glad to see the following j summation in The Progressive Farmj er: ? "Farmers watching the (Temonstration were satisfied that the machine would pick cotton at. a low cost, but ; felt that there would be considerable I loss in grade as compared to handI picked cotton. | "Just how successful modern, gin cleaning equipment will be in removing this trash is yet to be determined. I The U. 8. D. A. will follow this machine-picked cotton through the gin to arrive at its grade and then on to i the mill to determine its spinning fl qualities. Not until then shall we I have dependable information as to i the practicability of the machine unH der field conditions." _________________ t The superintendent of a cemetery in Richmond, Va, has reported to poi Hce there, that an Inspection of ; I -raves in the cemetery, had revealed the fact that bootleggers have been using the box-like tomb of John fl Marshall, famous federal supreme B ?&urt chief Justice, as a place for 1 storing their wares, by removing the 1 top granite slab. x ] ] - N 1/% g% checks 666 M^SA i Liquid, Tablets first day 1 Salve, Nose HEADACHE \ Drops 30 minutes ( Try "Rub-My-TIsm"? t World's Best Liniment , NOTICE OF LOST STOCIC 1 CERTIFICATE - 1 Notice is hereby given, that c^rtlfieatp No. 116 for 6 shares of the Capital Stock of the Enterprise Building 1 and Ivoan Association of Camden, S. i p- the same being in series July, 1930, j thereof, and standing in the name of t ?rs.

The fourth game, played before the largest world series crowd in history, brought in $240,591. ? v Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Geo McGee, Copyright, 1928. ON THE VERY viRGE OF BIG BUSINE88 . ..I should feel pretty stuck-uppity today? A real estate-bond salesman from a larger city than mine came to see me this morning. He flattered me intensely and Immensely, but being a stranger to me, I never let on like It was flattery; I made him think that he was really and truly on the verge of closing a big deal. ..This man's name was not Jones, so we'll call him Smith; that wasn't his name either, but that doesn't matter. I don't know where he got his mis-information about me, but he seemed to thtt& he was contacting a guy with plenty of money a-plenty; it wasn't my place to tell him any better. . " . .The gentleman delved Into his portfolio, made of genuine alligator hide, and brought forth his prospectus. He went right to the point. I found out in less than a minute that his business was to sell me a fourteen story office building that ho suggested ought to be made into a hotel. " ..His price for the whole building, lot, and parking space on main street was only $265,000.00. He did not care to have it all in cash, but said that outstanding bonds amounted to $79,000.00, and that would leave the small balance of $186,000.00 to be accounted for in U. S. legal tender after the deed was made. ..I looked long and carefully at the picture of his fine building, but I was all the time wishing it could be bought for $265.00, or better still, for $2.65; I recalled that my last cash balance at the bank, after my current September bills were paid, was $2.77. Df course,* I had to pay interest on a, note out of that, which was $54.88, but the note wouldn't fall due till next Tuesday. . .1 did my best to look very rich and extremely intelligent during this conference. I didn't want him to get the ideA that he was wasting his time. [ went Into the plumbing, the interior decorations, the present tenant Uatus, the denomination and maturities of the bonds, how many elevators t contained, and everything. I finally ny swivel chair, and put my feet on ny desk, and told " him I'd possibly ' un down to his city next week and J ook into the matter. He'll be wait- t ng for me for many years, that Isr? i f'he hasn't already ketched up with ne being hard-up, badly bent, and i marly broke.

Georgia In letter to Savannah Morning News) Vour urticle, "Doctors Profef intereated mo us I practice medicine In u small town surround* ed by a good farming section. From my experience of several years I can readily see the reaaou for this preference. The country doctor tpuat be a specialist in every brunch of the profession. Or I have found it so. I buve used a kitchen table for an appendectomy. 1 have amputated a leg with my patient lying across a bed In a smull room, standing on vHty knees on the iloor wliie a woman held the leg and a smoky lamp without a chimney on it, looking after the patient until he recovered and got a fee of $35, the patient living twelve miles in the country. I jook a patient whose whole abdominal vlsera was lying out 011 a dirty shanty iloor, coaxed circulation back into it with hot towels, the water heated In u lard can 011 a fire in the woods, treated him till lie recovered und got a fee of $25 1 I>l gated a jugular with the patient lying 011 a commissary porch, uneventful recovery, fee (00). Why enumerate? The last thirty O. B. cases I huvgattended Hometif them as far as seventeen miles, have netted 1110 for the lot $129, about $4.30 .each. The country doctor Is expected to tuke care of 35 per cent, of the people for miles uround at Mh own expense, and the remainder at about GO per cent, of the conventional fee. The country doctor will do enough practice if charged at city prices to run up to about $20,000, but if I10 collects $3,GOO he feels very successful. He is by force of necessity obliged to cany a very expensive supply of drugs and dressing. These cost money. I see no reason why a young man should choose to make a martyr of himself to begin with. He will find that bis patient will drive fifty miles to the city and pay his former classmate from $10 to $50 for a single consultation. This explains why the young man who graduates in medicine takes to the city. The country people have been trained to pay their doctor only when it suits their convenience. If it don't suit their convenience they don't pay at all. The country people expect the doctor to serve them at ull hours and take whatever they may choose to give them. No obligations are ever felt for the sef-vices he renders; that is his duty. Serve, serve, and let the gods reward. Tuberculosis, A Preventable Disease From time immemorial there has existed a condition of the human sys-' tern characterized by loss of weight, weakness, loss of appetite and peculiar facial expression which eventually resulted in the death of the individual. The early doctors described this condition as pthisis, or wasting, and it was not until Robert Koch discov- : ered that this condition was caused by a specific organism called the. Tubercule Bacillus was It known that the disease is infections and contagthe disease is infectious and contagby proper methods. Having this knowledge at our disposal we now realize that the disease which causes more deaths between: the ages of 15 and 45 than any other is preventable. ? The means of preventig# should Include the care of the secretions from the nose and throat. Tuberculosis is not hereditary and is always contract- | ed from an active case by a susceptible person who has come in closo contact. Hence, it is important that a person suffering from the diseaso should cover the mouth and nose with a cloth or paper napkin that can eventually be burned, when coughing or sneezing. Dishes should be boiled and kept apart from the ones used by the rest of the family. Kissing ~ and handling of infants and small children should never be done by the 1 person suffering from activo tuberculosis. ? The main hope of recovery from the diseaso lies in the early diagnosis and appropriate treatment and care. Since, there Is no specific treatment such as vaccines yet available we are forced to rely upon such measures as proper food, fresh air and rest, both mental and physical, for beneficial results. Early diagnosis accomplishes two purposes: First, welfare of patient; second, removal of source of danger from Jhose with whom ho comes in contact. The means for early diagnosis are the tuberculin test, chest examination and X-ray, Every one j especially those who arc known contacts to an active case owes It to himself to have a complete physical examination by his family physician at least once a year. We now have sufficient knowledge at our disposal to completely eradicate tuberculosis in the next two generations If we would but Use that knowledge. No home in South Carolina Is safe from tuberculosis until every home . I SUftSCftfftK FOR TH* CHRONICLK.) ! u ?JS?mIgggHBffffjgggMH BASEBALL'S SOCIAL HERITAGE Baseball players or today have a social heritage that dates back to the time of the Romans. In the old days a man's social standing depended largely on his ability as a ball player, according to "Ancient Games of the Greeks and Romans," thesis submitted by Ira Smith Irby In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree at the University of South Carolina. Even Caesar was known to play six games a week, and refused to attend to important matters of state until the ball game was over. The object of athletic endeavor on the part of the Romans was to distinguish the gentlemen of wealth from the plebians. Met With Mr*. Truesdale The DeKalb Home Demonstration club was entertained by Mrs. Sam Truesdale on Wednesday, October 21. The meeting was called to order by the president. Mrs. O. J. Smyrl. Devotional was conducted by Mrs. A. F. Watts, after which the Lord's prayer was repeated In unison. The month's project song, "My Bonnie," was sung. A short business session was held. The community bboth sponsored by the club at the County Fair October 12-19, was discussed and the bills presented by Mrs. Smyrl- and Mrs. Ogburn were given over to the treasurer to be paid. It was agreed by all In attendance to begin planning now for a booth next year and to work The National Safety Council, Chicago, reports that the total of highway traffic deaths for the first nine months of this year was 25,850, as compared with 25,830 for the same period of last year. There were 3,430 road deaths in September. ?ft??? to that end. The Health Chairman, Mrs. Frantf' Watts, had charge of the program this month. She invited Miss Alma Faile, County Health nurse, to speak to us on "A Balanced Diet." Miss Faile brought a very interesting talk on this subect, giving us health pamphlets at the close. We enjoyed having her with us very much. Miss Fewell was invited to attend the Lancaster County Fair as a Judge on this day. Mrs. L. D. Broome accompanied her to Lancaster. After Miss Faile finished they came in. Mrs. Broome, as secretary, road the inlfiutes of the last meeting and called the roll. A large number were present. Miss Fewell then took charge having for her subject, "Color in the Home." Under her direction we made a very attractive color chart which distinguishes the warm from the cool colors. Wo are studying famous pictures this year and the artist who paints them. Our picture for the month was "The Torn Hat," by Thomas Sully (1783-1872) an American artist, who came to America from England when ten years old and studied print' ing in the South. He later returned to England to study painting but returned to America where be exceU^f in portraying character^ in his fine Interpretation qj? > color - light7 and shade. The Torn Hat Is an excellent portrayal of outward sunshine, inward Joy and light on the face of 8ully's rosy-cheeked boy. Miss Fewell gave some points to remember for the month. In arranging our rooms, consider colors in the home criticizing them with a view toward developing a pleasinjg color scheme, to present at the November meeting a worked out color scheme for com and questions. During this monjfh add something of color to the living room. Mrs. Smyrl gavo the eleven club chairmen for the year at * this time. Mrs. Sam Truesdule, assisted by Mrs. Shelby Truesdale, served delightful cocoa, sandwiches and cake, using the Hallowe'en motif in both the re- 1 freBhments and decorations. The meeting adjourned to meet with Mrs. Curtis Ogburn in November for a ^ discussion on "Room Arrangement." The Religion and Wolfaro Chairman, Mrs. J. W. Sowell will present a short program.
