I tUKENS ROOSEVELT'S TRIP TO "I SHERMAN'S MARCH TO THE SEA U -? jn connection with Franklin Koose^ velt # recent political trip across the MUtitry and hie speeches at various points, especially , his speeches In Georgia ami his stop at Greenville in our state, it bohooveB us to remember ? few important facts. In 1933, at bis request and upon his representations that they were desired only for the "period of the emergency" and that tbey would be returneds when the emergency" was over, he was granted by a trusting congress unprecedented powers. Afterwards when conditions not only In this country but throughout the world had Improved with the natural swing of the economic pendulum, Mr. Kooaevelt announced to us it Charlotte that he "saw the rainbow shining in the sky" and told us how we had been "led by the still waters and made to lie down In green pastures." Ho"* again told us at Charleston that the "emergency" had passed "because wo planned It that way" Very well. Whatever may have been the cause of its passing, the point is that according to. Mr. Roosevelt's pronouncements the "emergency had passed." But what about the powers that were granted him? Were they returned according to his promise or was this promise violated us every promise made by him to the American non. pfe fn his Campaign of 1932 was subsequently violated? Every informed person knows the answers to these questions and Is fully aware that the powers that were granted to Mr. Roosevelt in 1933 were not only not returned but that since then there has been a constant grasping by him for more and more power. He lias undertaken to control the congress and usurp its powers, to pack and control the courts, to Beize the lndepend ??? ? 1 ent quaBi-leglalative and quasi Judicial boards and commissions of the govern ment, to control agriculture, Industry and lubor, to override the rights of the states, and to set up in Washington a centralized government with supreme power over the social, economic and political life of this nation concentrated In his hands. These are plalu facts so Indelibly written in his record as to challenge successful genial. And his grasp for dictatorial powers continues. Kveu now In the l)r. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde role of president of the United States and "head of the Democratic party'* he brazenly pursues his efforts to keep the congress packed with "yes men" to do his bidding and dares to have the effrontery to Invade South Carolina and thft South for the purpose of dletsiiSo ? "**> ????? ???u women his wish that they send to the congress spineless puppets of his choosing to eat out of Ills hands in disgraceful betrayal of their plain duty to act In representing their constituents according to the dictates of their own consciences. That such, an effort should be made, backed and buttressed by the expenditure of millions 'of dollars of public funds in a claimed show of "huuianitarianlHin" thui incidentally gathers votes, Is an Insult to (the character and Intelligence of our ' pccplo. Ii is u uisrepuiabio and gcauu* j alous piece of tyranny that will not j succeed'or be tolerated in South Caro Una. The march "of Sherman across Georgia and into South Carolina with j a blazing torch for the purpose of pil- j laging and burning our homes was ' no more revolting to the people of ! this state than Is the march of Hoose[ velt for the equally infamous purpose ' of robbing us of our freedom at the ballot box.?A.

Baker, Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, were hanged at the federal penitentiary here early today in the iirst double execution In Kansas in more than seventy years. Applegate went to hlB death with the same Indifference that has characterized hla stay in prison. Suhay gritted h 13 teeth and was making an obvious effort to control himself as he mounted the thirteen steps of the gallows. Among the twenty-seven witnesses were H. H. Baker, Yuma attorney, father of the slain FBI agent, and B. B. Baker, his 18 year old son. Guards entering the cell Diock found Applegate asleep. He refused to converse with the prison chaplain with the assertion "you'll have to go a hell of a long way to visit with me." After the ropes were adjusted, Applegate turned to Suhay and said: Get's shake and go together." Suhay made no response. Both the 45-year-old Applegate and Suhay, 26, refused to receive spiritual advlrfbrt^ ' You can't do me any good. All of my friends are in hell," Applegate said. "The scaffold can't be too high nor the time too quick for me." Baker was slain April 16, 1937, when Suhay and Applegate shot their way out of a trap set in the Topeka postoffice by federal agents who sought them In connection with the robbery of a Katonah, N. Y., bank. | Lightning and Auto Cause Woods Fires Aiken County Ranger L. P. Joyner reported to Assistant District Forester Tiller two very unusual woods fires which recently occurred In Aiken county. Usually woods fires are mancaused and therefore preventable. Roth of these fires were not mancaused and therefore could not have been prevented. Lightning near Jones Cross Roads i Ignited the woods and four acres burned over before It could be suppressed. Lightning fires are quite common in the far west but in South Carolina they usually cause less than one per cent of all woods fires. Usually in South Carolina if lightning does set a fire the storm 1b accompanied by rain and the fire is either extinguished by rain or may be easily extinguished by suppression forces. The other fire burned over seven acres. It occurred at Jackson, South Carolina, and was caused by an automobile which ^vas consumed by the flames. This is a very unusual cause of woods fires. These two fires were the only two fires reported in Aiken county during the month of July according to reports received by the State Forest service.

One of the greatest evils which results In uctual loss in dollars and cents to the cotton producer is the ginning of cotton too green or in a damp condition. / According to tests by the United States Department of Agriculture, hased on the prices of spot cotton at the time actual test was made and present prices of cotton, the gtuuing of too green or damp cotton results In loss to the cotton producer In actual dollars and cents from $1.00 to 3.76 per bale. The actual figures used by the Department In 1331 was on 600,000 bules of 1-1-16" and longer ginned too green or damp with a loss of $1,260,000 in grade Yulutf of this cotton. On 1,000,000 bales of shorter staple so tested there was a loss of $070,000 in grade value to the cotton producer. Of course, these figures be much greater at the present time when the averuge spot prices on the ten designated markets is around 8 3-4 cents per pound compared to the avorago price of cotton when this test was made of 5.89c per pound. The losses indicated In the above, as reported by the United States Department of Agriculture, are most j conservative and the actual loss in dollars and cents would in reality uei considerably more than Indicated In the above flgures. The loss In ginning of too green or damp cotton is considerable enough but the ginning of cotton which is actually lu a wet condition results in considerable more lost to the cotton producer. The lowering In grade and j (or) staple value on shorter staple cotton, when cotton Is ginned wet. Is conservatively estimated at anywhere from $2.00 to $5.00 per bale. Cotton should not be picked until it is dry on the stalk. If cotton Is wet or damp it should be spread under a sheltered place and moved or stirred for several days before attempting to gin. This will Improve the physical condition of the cotton and. in ginning, a better quality both In grade and staple will result and higher prices obtainable when sold. 4-H POULTRY STORY In the spring I began to get ready for some chicks to begin my second year as a 4-H poiTltry member. We had an old brooder house and with the aid of my parents, it was moved to mew ground.?~A~ brtclc brooder built for which I used oak wood. My fuel did not cost anything, although the value of the wood used was counted In the expenses. I mixed my own feed from home grown yellow corn and wheat shorts and bought fish meal to mix with the home grown grains. ' When everything was ready, I ordered the chicks and received them on March 1. I got 200 Rhode Island Reds from the Columbia Hatchery. The first week J kept the thermometer around 86 to 90 degrees ami gradually brought It down as the chicks grew older. I kept feed before them all the time In homemade hoppers and buttermilk and water In clean Jars before them all the time. I cleaned the brooder house once a week. When they were two weeks old they were turned out Into the sunshine and on green rye and returned to the brooder at night. At the age of ten weeks I sold 59 chicks weighing 129 pounds which brought $29.75. I used twenty for home use and the rest I am keeping Tor laying. I have paid for my chicks, feed, milk and wood. I made a profit on them and have thirty-flve pullets left which I prize more than all.

I made a Are In the brooder the day before In order to have Just the right temperature, - I kept my temperature from 70 to 80 degrees, as the chicks seemed to be comfortable with this heat. My brooder house was eight feet by ten feet, and faced the south, with large windows to let in plenty of sunahine. 1 used a cloth dipped In para^ fin over the windows. My brooder was made of brick just as near like the specifications I received from Miss Carson, State Poultry Specialist, as I could have It made. I used three hoppers four feet long, four inches wide, with two Inch sides and four half gallon jars for waterers. I placed my thermometer two feet from the brooder and two inches from the floor, j; _ Chicks were all using perch pole# at eight weeks of age. I had a small yard twenty feet by fifteen feet sowed ill oat? for the chicks to run In, but in addition to title I fed them Iota of mualaid greens and cabbage leaven from mother'* garden, also lot* of tender grans. I I used starter feed the Ural three week* Then I mixed my feed, using corn meal, fish meal and wheat shorts mixed according to the formula recommended. 1 cleaned the brooder house twice a week, raking out all litter and putting iu fresh straw each time. 1 always kept plenty of feed and water before them at all times and watched the temperature closely. Miss Fewell, my county home demonstration agent, visited chicks slid 1 tiled to care for them exactly us she told me. 1 enjoyed working with my chicks vej-y much. MyJ, How they did grow. Now I have a nice flock of eighty-four young pullets that I hope will bring me In some money this fall from eggs. ?Kenneth McNeely, llethune, S.
