C. McCarley, county ageut, who warns against danger of coccidiosis, paralysis and worm infestation in poultry flocks when j chicks are brooded on the same ground each year. "Farmers throughout the state have trouble each fall with pullets becom-1 lng infested' with Internal parasites' and developing various diseases," Mr. McCarley explains, quoting P. H. Uoodlng, extension poultry specialist. "One of the most common troubles is paralysis. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done once this truoble develops. After the pullets] become paralyzed, it is too late to move the brooder house. The time' to do this is before the chicks are started. If you have never had trouble | in your flock from coccidiosis, worms,! or paralysis, it is no assurance that] you will not. And once your premises i become heavily Infested, there Is great danger of tracking these trou-! hies to new ground." Where it is absolutely impossible to move the house, the specialist advises that the chicks-run on a wire plat-' form iu front of the house for the first two months. However, he asserts that' on most farms the house can.be moved even though It will require considerable time and some expense. "A combination of coccidiosis, paralysis, and worm infestations is almost equal to one year's loss in income, plus a lot of worrying and hard work,' and in most cases it will be much less burdensome to spend time and money moving the house than to suffer an outbreak of these troubles," Mr. McCarley concludes. Kiwanis Club Notes The Kiwanis club is indeed grate ful to Hugh R. Brown, traveling commercial agent of the Railway Express, for a most interesting program at their meeting on last Tuesday week.. I Mr. Brown showed talking slides of Air Express and just how much it means to the American and European public. The program was in charge1 of the Publicity committee. F. N. Mc Corkle, the local agent for 'Railway Express, was invited as guest of this" committee, to introduce Mr. Brown1 to the club. /?/?/% SALVE Mrfc. relieves 0 00 COLDS Liquid, Tablets, price Salve, Nose Drops 10c & 25c McCALL DIE8 IN ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR KIDNAPING llaiford, Fla,, Fob. 24.?Frunklin Pierce McCall was put to death In the electtic chair today for the fatal kidnaping of five-year-old James Halley Caah, Jr., at Princeton, Fla., laat May. The switch was thrown at 11:08 a. m. (Eastern Standard Time). McCall was electrocuted Just four days short of nine months from the time he kidnaped the tow-headed lad. Admitting in open court that he ulone stole "Skeegie" and collected $10,000 ransom from the father, McCall insisted he did not want to harm tils victim and had smothered him ! accidentally. The execution first was set for lust Monday. Seventy minutes before the | scheduled hour, L. F. Chapman, state prison farm superintendent, announc| ed a delay until today. 1 The delay was given to permit McCall's attorneys to seek a stay through the United State supreme court. They were turned down by two justices In I Washington late yesterday and also lost another series of last-minute nioveb Lu halt the execution. McCall's pretty y^ung wife visited him this morning, departing dry-eyed after remaining in the cell about half an hour. Another last-minute visitor was an uncle, Amos McCall, of Jasper, Fla. Sheriff D. C. Coleman, of Dade county, who threw the switch, started reading the death warrant to McCall in his death house cell at 10:31 a. m. This required five minutes. As the sheriff read, McCall moved from one foot to the other. He looked at Coleman three or four times, otherwise gazed at the floor. When Coleman finished, McCall said to him in a calm, even voice: "Well, Mr. Coleman, I want you to know that I understand your position and you Just take it easy." It was Coleman who arrested the kidnaper and turned him over to Federal Bureau of Investigation agents. McCall was pronounced dead at 11:16 a. m. He went to the chair calmly after reading aloud a hand-written manuscript in which he reasserted his innocence of crime. He compared his case to that of Christ. -- "Judas Iscariot sold Christ for thirty pieces of silver," the husky young minister's son read from the paper. "It would be interesting to know how much someone got in this case." He said he did not believe in capital punishment because "it does not deter from crime." The state colleges fairly shout that, with the new appropriation figures, they will have to curtail their teaching, which goes without saying. The national guard members all over the state sent telegrams urging more money for the guard, in such number that the sergeant at arms staggered down the house aisle with the load of yellow envelopes, large enough to fill a big wheelbarrow. o McCORMICK?DEER1NG FARM IMPLEMENTS See Our New Number 61 COMBINE Also FARMALL TRACTORS WAGONS TRACTOR HARROWS PLOWS REAPER-BINDERS PLANTERS DISTRIBUTORS MOWERS -DISK HARROWS RAKES POWER UNITS ENGINES t - - - ' We Carry a Large Stock of International Harvester Company REPAIRS WHITAKER & CO.

A Kilt-ox, chief of the U. 8. forest ser-J vice, in submitting hla 1938 annual report to Secretary Wallace. Coincident with this statement. Joseph C. Klrcher, southern regton| al forester, of Atlanta, Uu , says that J the sou til's forest resources constitute I one of its best opportunities for creating new payrolls aud increasing I wealth. In the south more than in any other section of the country tovostry aud farming are interwoven without being competitive. Timber crops cau be grown here on land that is unsuited to farming. ! Forester Kircher points out that on the forest lands of the nation there i is need for "more and better forests to help underwrite industries dependent on them." Ho says that nowhere is this need more vital than in the south, where more and hotter forests are needed to supply new and permanent industries. Wood using IndusI tries are moving iu rapidly and although 60 per cent of the south Is I still in forests, theso forests are producing only 50 per cent, or less, of their capacity. | "The greatest single obstacle to socuring maximum production of forest lands is the prevalence of uncontrolled fires," Mr. Kircher said. "To keep southern pine lands productive requires, in addition to fire protection, the regulated harvesting of forest products as a crop, not slashing off everything that can be sold. On national forest lands, the timber is managed on a sustained yield basis, which means that no more than the annual growth Is cut each year. Managing timber lands on this basis, will create more and better forests; will increase the amount of growing tirn-1 ber; will establish a more permanent supply for wood-usiug industries and a more secure living for many woikera. "The development of the pulp and paper industry in the south has! brought added hope to a region snf-( fering frona/ a sjerious decline in farm income. The' south needs the new industries, that are coming its way, needs the increased business activity and employment they create. This is an opportunity for the south, but it brings a matching responsibility?the responsibility to provide sufficient raw materials for industry's operating needs. "In spite of the timber-producing possibilities of the south, southern forests cannot play Santa Claus to forest -industries without- sensible planning and management to meet the Increased drain. As evidence of the tremendous demand on our timber supply, It is estimated that the 45 pulp mills in the south may require five million cords of rough wood annually. In addition to this, there are to be considered more than 8,000 sawmills and 900 other ^ood-uslng plants, needs of which must be supplied. It is true that the forest area In the south can grow more than enough timber to keep the present forest industries going forever provided the timber is protected from fire and provided that the present destructive cutting practices are abandoned in favor of cutting practices that will build up or maintain sufficient growing stock to utilize the growing power of the land- *, "The national forests of the soutn serve an important purpose in water,, shed protection. The protection of watersheds is necessary to insure an adequate water supply for industrial and domestic needs; to help save fine farms from damage by floods and erosion; to provide home and refuge for big game and other wildlife; and to furnish opportunities for more people to enjoy healthful recreation. The protection of watershed areas on national forests from Are, destructive logging or other abuses has been one of the major alms of the forest service since Its establishment. An important part of the south's water supply originates in the stream and lakes whose source is In the mountains on national forest lands. These lands are protected and managed to insure their watershed? values and reduce the hazard of erosion and floods. "Hunting and fishing have always been part and parcel of life In the south and much work In wildlife management and protection has been done in the past few years on national forests. Increases In big game population on southern forests have In a large measure been made possible by cooperation wUh Btate game departments, public and private agencies and sportsmen's clubs. Cooperative agreements with states have been perfected, or are in process of negotiation In practically all states in the region, which will materially improve ^flsh and game conditions. ^The supreme court of Pennsylvania, has handed down a decision which kills a chain store tax intended to raise $1,500,000 for school purposes, ' declaring - the law unconstitutional. . v". . . * - ... ;/ ' 4 * ^ NEQRO HOME DEMONSTRATION AGENT 18 DOING GOOD WORK On August 1, iy3s, Susie HIvoiih boKan work us Negro Home Deiuoustrutton agent lu Kershaw county.

A ^4" " .-<* CONGRE88MAN INTERESTED IN WATEREE RIVER NAVIGATION Washington, Fob. 28.?'Along with in any citizens of Kershaw county j Congressman James P. Richards Is interested In a movement to Improve navigation on the Wateree river as far up as Camden. He has boon pushing tills matter before the division of engineers of the war department, and the most recent report on that situation is as follows: "The existing project for the Wateree river provides for removal of obstructions to provido for a safe and unobstructed four-foot navigation channel from the mouth to Cam don, a distance of 67 miles. The last expenditure for clearing was in 1916. Since that time there has boen no existing or prospective commerce on the river to Justify further operations. "There has been considerable InterI est recently in navigation on the Wateree river, the purpose being the transportation of sand and gravel from the lower ten miles of the river -?especially any of this material that may be used In the construction of the Santee-Cooper project. Parties Interested in the sand and gravel business so far have not been able to state definitely whether sand and gravel would be transported if the river were cleared. Should it be found that use will actually be made of the river for this purpose, it is Intended to remove the obstructions in the lower ten miles. After removal of these obstructions the navigable depth at low stages will be about 6 feet in the lower three miles, five feet in the next six and half miles, and four feet in the next half mile. Except when power plants at and above Camden close down, there is a depth of about eight in the lower eight miles of the river due to the regulation provided by the disoharge of stored waters. j "As a resolution of the committee on commerce of the United States senate adopted November 17, 1938,' provides for a review of the portion of the report on the Santee river of North Carolina and South Carolina published in House document No. 96, [ 73rd congress, first sossion, which pertains to the Wateree rlvor, a trlbI utary to the Santoo, with a vlow to Improving the Wateroo rlvor so as to provide for navigation from the junction of the Santeo and the Wateree to Camdon on tho Wateree and for the development of hydroelectric power on the Wateree river. "This Investigation has boon assigned to the district engineer at Charleston. S. C., (Major Heading Wilkinson) and his report thereon la oxpectod In the division engineers' office and will probably bo submitted to tho chief of engineers about tho middle of April. Consideration will be given In this report for the construction of reservoirs for the development of powor and for Increasing the low-water flow of tho river In the Interest of navigation, improvement for navigation by other, methods will also be considered. You may be assured that I will do any| thing I can towards undertaking such Improvement of tho Wateree river as may be justified. Sincerely yours, Jarvls J. Bain, Colonel, Corps of Engineers, Division Engineer, Richmond, Virginia." T From every direction come reports Indicating all kinds of Inequities and Injustice in the handling of relief. Politics laid Its slimy hands on relief the very moment it was instituted, and the longer the United States continues to hand out such vast sums in the present fashion the more it will tend to corrupt the country and undermine and sap the very foundations. It's not necessary to read magazine articles or to listen to speakers on the radio to And out what is happening to American morale. It's going on here the same as'everywhere else, and the longer it lasts Hie worstW the stink will grow.?Chester Reporter.
