I've heard people say of Charleston, "Sumo old doud towu." Well, H Isn't the same and it Isn't dead. When I was a hoy Line street wys ulniost tho line. Hut within twenty years Charleston hus extended so far "up the road" that a sizeable new city has grown up. Thou across the Ashley river another littlp city has come into being. What about the old city, between Idue stroot and the Battery?, You cannot' know Charleston merely by driving down King and Meeting streets; nor yet by East Hay and Broad streets. The extension of the Battery was in itself the most stupendous public work undertaken and completed in South Carolina in. my time. Hut walk nlong the older section of Kutledge avonue, Coming street, Ashley avenue, or any other thoroughfare, and you will see that hundreds of fine old mansions have been modernized, into apartments, etc., without destroying the symmetrical statellnesa for which thyy are famous. And in keeping with its traditions new parks and play grounds have been provided. The most surprising phase of old Charleston in a modern setting U the unity among the people, the co-operative spirit which prevails. Charleston. I think, is tho most united community In our state. A grand old town of solid achievement Is vigorous with tho energy and purpose of renewed youth. If you think Charleston unchanged, walk around ft. I have sold some cotton today?two bales?for $85.84 for tho two. I turned back In my ledger and read (1935) two bales $140.08?about the same weight and grade. Quite a difference! Tho seed brought $23.20 In 1930 and only $7.86 today, Saturday. Now that's what "ails" the farmer. He could do very well with those dollars of difference. Everything tho farmer used this year cost him more? fertilizers, labor, tools, implements? all; but he himself is at the mercy of all the factors of trade. Even today the farmer is paying as much for harvesting the cotton as he paid when it was selling for thirteen cents. What is the matter with the United States? Why are stocks tumbling on the stock exchange? Why are commodity prices, cotton, etc., tumbling, too? I know that most commodity prices are fixed in a world market, but tho world market isn't causing the drop In the New York stock market. No, not this time. Now, then; what is the trouble? Where does the shoe pinch? The truth stares us in the face and we can't escape it. Much of our trouble Is due to the attitude of our own government In Washington. It has not been willing to take its hands off, but haB tinkered with the value of our money, has tinkered with ev erything elBe, has cried out against business and threatened it, although at the same time drastically regulating it; It has frightened everybody with a dollar until no one feels safe [ft investing. The investor is scared stiff; only a gambler will take a chance. No country can grow unless Lhere is confidence, a hopeful outlook. Np one can have confidence with Washington making a football of our business. While Washington tinkers with everything and upsets everything it provides little palliatives. If business were allowed Its head we might have twelve cents cotton, but Instead of being allowed to earn a living we are peing fed with a spooa. No country can prosper unless men ?ee opportunities to make profits, and pobody wants to take a chance with the government more anxious to reform the nation than to rebuild it. We seem to be destined to become is pure and noble a corpse as you aver saw. Ever been to Walterboro? Great ittle city It Is today. No longer the juiet town of easy-going people, but oday a thriving center of tourism. Some folks think of Walterboro as |ust the seat of "Bishop" Smoak. True >nough W. W. Smoak keeps Colleton :o the fore through his fine paper, rhe Press and Standard, and. on the Hde, he gives his cooperation to all efforts to build up the state or Improve its moral tone, but say all you will for Brother Smoak, and 1 could lay a lot, there are some others In fiat delightful bailiwick. That dignified and gracious gentleman of the >ld school. Colonel James G. Padgett, itlli contributes to the charm of the :own. Then, too, a fine old friend if mine, 'servant of the most high. Is spending the evening of a consecrated life there?the Rev. CharTes B, Smith. But If I should catalogue the upstanding young men . like Messrs. Jefferles, Moorer, et al, et al, 1 yhould require more paper. I met a charming citizen and native eon, B. T. H. Shaffer" but enough of Walterboro.

I dropped into the office of The Chronicle one day seeking the editor. That worthy was out, even out of town, but a young lady did the honors of the office and gave me the low-down on Laurens county in a few minutes. I soojo. learned that but for the court house, the city .of. .Laurens would be a mere suburb of Clinton, or words of thai general tenor. Well, thats exactly the spirit which builds a town, * - . v.*/ Ill J-1L-UU- --JJLXJ.J 1 1 MORE WILD DUCKS THIS YEAR Migration To South Will Bo Larger Than For Several Seasons. I Now York, Out I The 1 Hi'Kf?t mi(fraction ui v\ iui (tucks In three yours! will be heading southward us duck! hunting seasons open in nortlicrn slates on October 9. according to a survey by the More Game Birds hVun elation. The Webfoot increase, however, will bo nothing for duck hunters to become excited about, the Foundation warns. America's wild ducks bit the bottom of the worst wildfowl depression In libit and almost any turn for the better can not be recorded as an increase. Heavier rainfall In north central states which retlooded drought-stricken sections of the great mid-continental "duck factory" brought larger duck crops during the sumpier brooding season. Minnesota records a 50 per cent increase, mainly of teal; Nebraska and North Dakota, 25 per cent, and South Dakota 50 per cent. ' Aiding the waterfowl comeback In this hard hit duck producing section have been $21,769,337 of federal funds and $1,248,851 of "Duck Stamp" fees used for waterfowl refuge establishment the past three years. "However," the Foundation points cut, "drc-vvgrrt and agricultural reclamation of over 70,000,000 acres of wild duck areas have relegated the United States to a minor status as a duck producer. Eighty-five per cent of our waterfow 1 now have been driven into Canada to breed?principally in limited sections of Manlteba, Saskatchewan and Alberta." In Manitoba, according to a survey by the Manitoba Fish and Game association of the 55 most important wildfowl breeding grounds. 21 areas produced more ducks than last year, 22 had approximately the same duck crops, while twelve had less ducks. Northern Saskatchewan and Alberta produced good crops the past summer but drought again took toll of waterfowl in southern sections. Despite the small increase this year, the waterfowl situation is htill precarious, the Foundation believes. "Not until ruined portions of the Canadian duck factory' are restored can we again have really good duck shooting in the United States," tho Foundation declares. CONGRESSMAN J. P.

CONTROLLED GRAZING HEALS ERODED CANYON A typical example of the control of erosion through vegetative growth is found in a canyon now in a national forest where cattle fypd previously overgrazed an area for years, reports the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. Where the area was fenced, and grazing stopped until the area can be improved, herbs, shrubs, and small trees have formed a dense cover between the old trees, and the rapid flow of the creek in the canyon bed has been checked. The stream bed and banks are in excellent condition. Old gullies have healed and the canyon bottom is a jungle of growth. Outside of the fenced area, where the vegetation is- badly depleted, the stream bed is deeply trenched and enlarged. Natural grass cover and even the sagebrush has been disappearing. It is now estimated that there is one automobile to every 5.8 persons in the United States, while in France there are nineteen persons to a car, in England twenty persons and in Germany forty-nine persons.
