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. S. Merriman in the
Sumter Daily Item.
Two Gunmen Meet
Death On Gallows
l,*venworth, Kans., Aug. 12.?Robert
Suhay and Glenn Applegate, New
York gunmen convicted of murdering
W. W. 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.

monthly magazine, has been banned

Don't Gin Cotton
Too Green or Damp
Cotton farmers stand to lose $1 00
per halo on the shorter staples and up
to $3 76 per hale on the longer staples
on account of ginning cotton too green
or damp.
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.
Miss Fewell, our Home Demonstration
agent, has helped me with my
poultry work each year.?Annie Mae
Godwin, second year 4-H Major Poultry
Member, Kershaw county.
MY 4-H POULTRY WORK
This is my first year as a 4-H Major
Poultry club member. I bought my
chicks from the Columbia Hatchery.
They came February 23, 200 pretty
Rhode Island Reds. 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.
