All in all. we are might) proud ot
the fair and as we have been spend
Ing a greater part of the time on the
grounds meeting up with the folks
from here, there and everywhere in
the county, vse ought to know whereof
we speak, ?
Anyone who can It nd cause for
grouching at what has been offered
the folks of the county this fall has
need of an immodiate dose of bicarbonate
of Ktnla. There surely is something
wrong with his or her innards.
Think it over folks, no reasou at
all for being out of sorts or depressed.
Just consider what we have down
hero iit Camden and Kershaw county.
The best fair in the state, the best
football team in the world, and the
finest people to be found on God's
green footstool.
In closing let uie say that from
what I read in a Charleston paper
about this Porter Military Academy
team that comes hero Friday night,
Camden is going up against a gang
of huskies. Not having heard milch
other than that, we are not going to
attempt a prognostication as to the
probuble result. We would say, however,
that we have placed our dough

Suppose a lot of you football fans
wandered into Lee Little's flicker
palace early in the week and saw that
reel in which the famous world champion
football team, the Green Hay
Wisconsin, Packers strut ted some of
their famous football wizardry.
There wasn't any fake stuff about
that pass throwing by Herber and
the receiving by Don Hudson. I've
watched this team in action many
times, and especially last year when
they won the national title for the
seventh time.
* *
And when you see the Packers take
on the Chicago Bears, the New York
Giants, the Detroit Lions or the Chicago
Cardinals, you see football of
the de-luxe brand.
* * *
After a study of the major football
situation 1 am going to venture a
guess that when the smoke of battlo
clears from the gridirons of the country
Saturday afternoon you will find (
Pittsburgh, Cornell, Nebraska. Northwestern,
Louisiana State, California
and Texas A. and Mind you, I'm
simply citing these teams on the basis
of past performances.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
(By Spectator)
Been in (Charleston recently? What
did you soy? 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.
If 1 don't watch out somebody
will try to sell me e lot in that
-+++ ^ ^ - - " i --
rejuvenated center.
Writing atyfu^ towns, have you ever
visited Clinton.?^) That town Is growing
some boosters. 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,

Migration To South Will Bo Larger
Than For Several Seasons.

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.

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.
