Hitler Foresees His End; ?1
Gives Self Six Months
To Two Years More!
DOLE HITLER, sitting high up in the political driver*! seat in
k Europe t6day, feared as no than has been feared sinc4 Napoleon,
kes the very foundation of his strength with these words: "My

)n Ono of These Peaks Overlooking the Town of Berchtesgaden in
ijvaria, Hitler Has Built His "Eagle's Neat" where He Goes to Plan
Germany's Future and Ponder His Own Fate.
Tins startling disclosure ts made in the April issue of Cosmopolitan
pr;:i7.ine in an article by Karl H. von Wiegand, noted correspondent,
|I*cd "Hitler Foresees His End!"
[jp Fuhrer, von Wiegand says,

Whether jthfo presentiment of iramu.ng
disaster comes from a fear
or death througn
illness or acci*
dent, or whether
he foresees being
overthrown by his
"enemies or even
his own people,
Hitler does not
say. All he will
commit himself
to is this: 'Meine

-"Hn end of my
i mission in the
\ world is Rearing/'
-This is of terrifying
proportions

It is interesting to note that today
Hitler no longer flies, the same man
who traveled Almost everywhere In
Guiimwylrv trti owu specisfrTrtsng.He
has also given orders that Field
Marshall Goring and other important
members of:.*abinet must not
fly. "An accident shall not come to

he explains.

and peycbic dangers." !
Hitler related to von Wlegand1
many years ago'how the divine

.uv nn..
Washington, March 24.?It has long
boon urged that something should bo
done to make credit available to business
and particularly small business.
The Reconstruction Finance corpora
Hon was authorised to nvake loans to
Industry, but the regulations under
which the loans were made were so
strict that many enterprises could not
qualify. It has been pointed out that
we have a program for agriculture,!
for labor, for the home owner, and for!
the assistance of many other classes)
of our people, but that we have donel
little for the small business man, other
than Increase the purchasing power
of the people generally.
Small business is the backbono of
America. The little plant, rffctorjrand
shop contribute to the prosperity of
thousands of our communities. The
successful operation of small enterprises
means eraploymdut and spells
[ economic Well-being.
We know the tragedy that comes to
a village when the local plant, which
has been hiring the bulk of that community's
employables, closes Its doors.
In some Instances that tragedy could
not he prevented, but In a great many
cases, if adequate financial aid, reasonably
offered, were available, the
Btory would have boon a happier one.
The record of the Reconstruction
Finance corporation. falls to furnish
evidence that It has been of any significant
or widespread assistance to
small enterprise. Congress two years
ago endeavored to liberalize the original
Reconstruction Finance corporation
act so as to provide additional
loans to small Industries. Some aid
has been granted under this liberalization,
It is true, but it Is not a drop in
the bucket so far as a really effective
program is concerned.
In the face of these circumstances,
It doeB seem beyond question that we
lack an adequate mechanism through
which small industry can satisfy Its
capital and credit needs.
Several bills are now pending In
Congress to cope with this problem
and to assist small business In obtaining
its required capital.
The chances for passage of these
bills are uncertain a* present due
principally to the fact that the Congress
Is going very slow this session
on making outlays of funds for new
ventures, however laudable their objectives
may be.
The sections In the north and east
that have been favored by lower
freight rates than the rest of the country
are getting busy in opposition to
the bills that are being sponsored In
| Congress to remove these discriminations.
Governor Lehman, of New York, has
filed a statement with the committee
In opposition to these bills. In this
statement, Governor Lehman points
out that Industry is moving southward
and any advantage given to the
south at this time would be very detrimental
to New York. Of course, the
south is not asking for an advantage;it
Is only asking for a square deal.
Governor Lehman points out that the
number of wage-earners and manufacturing
plants in the seven southern
states was 101.4 per cent In 1936, as
compared to 1933; whereas, the number
in New York State was only 77.9
per cent; that total wages paid in
manufacturing Industry in New York
In 1936 fell to 64.4 per cent of the
figure for 1933, while In the seven
Southern States, in spite of the depression,
the decrease In wages was
only 14 per cent. He also pointed out
many specific examples of Increases
in the south and decreases in the
state of New York. He vigorously protested
against changing the freight
rate structure stating: "That to ac*
cord to the Bouth/a further advantage
In the way of relatively lower freight
rates would increase the difficulty,
which we have, of retaining Industries
in our state for the employment of
our wage-earners." ,
In many of these favored states
have been made available large sums
of money to oppose any changes In
the freight rate structure. The fight
is now ont into the open for the first
time. The House Is handicapped. in
view of the fa* that a, majority of
the members of the House are from
areas that are favored. This is not
true as to the United States Senate
where there are two Senators from
each state. Prompt
approvai of two bills by the
House Immigration committee Wed*

FORESTRY QUIZ CONTE8T8
CONDUCTED IN 8CHOOLS
During the month of February we
have held Forestry Quiz contests in
every school, both white and colored,
except two and we hope to reach them
In a very short time.
I heartily endorse the use of these
contests on trees and forests for use
in our schools, in the hope that the
future citizens of Kershaw county
may learn to do their part towards
conserving our trees and thereby adding
to the comfort, beauty and wealth
of the state and nation.
Of all the crops in South Carolina,
forest trees rank second in value, being
exceeded only by cotton. But
rapid cutting of forest trees in 8outh
Carolina has greatly reduced our forest
area. We must now begin in a
business-like way, by the practice of
forestry, to grow forests for the production
of lumber and the products
necessary for the maintenance of our
dependent industries.
The county ranger report* a total of
thirteen fires during the month of
February, burning a total of 148.9
acres, an average of 11.5 acres p^r
fire says W. C. Perry, Kershaw county
ranger. Wild
ducks, hawks, falcons and wild
geese can attain a flight speed of 60
miles an hour, while carrier pigeons
do about 45 miles.

WINNERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA
| FIVE-ACRE COTTON CONTEST
Rear row left to right: J. S. BROWN, St. George; E. O. LIGHTSEY, Miley; M. H. O'NEAL, Estill, First
Prize Winner; H. C. COWARD, Aiken. Second Prize Winner; W. J. VERDIN, Greenville. Front rou> left to
right: CLYDE K. LANEY, Cheruw; R. 0. RICKENDACKER, OrangebuVg; 11. H. HERLONG, Johnston.
M. H. O'Neal, Estill, Hampton
County, was the winner of the South
Carolina Five-Aere Contest for 14*88 J
with 12.2 bales on flvo acres. The
staple length of his cotton was
1 1/32 inches. Six of the prize winners
produced cotton of the same
staple length and the lowest yield
^ was fl.Tbatea on Ave acres.
The purpose of the contest, conducted
by the Extension Division of
the Clemson Agricultural College, is
to produce high quality cotton at a
price that will permit a reasonable
standard of living to the producing,
manufacturing and consuming interests.
In 1929 only 36.7% of the
cotton in South Carolina was long
cotton but in 1938 long cotton whs
96%. of the. entire crop. For the
South as a whole the percentage of
long cotton is about 61%.
More than 1,000 farmers entered
the contest and 725 came through
with completed records. The winners
not only made high yields on
Thetr pet flye-Acre plots but also on
their entire farms. For Instance, Mr.
Herlong, who came fifth in the contest,
was allowed to plant 24.3 acres
of cotton on his farm and he produced
42 bales averaging 500 pounds
each.
Mr. Herlong rotates his crops,
uses the best of seed, treats his seed
before planting, fertilizes liberally
with a well balanced fertilizer, and
practices boll weevil control with the.. .....
1-1-1 poison-molasses mixture. He
used 450 pounds of a 3-11-11 (NPK)
fertilizer per acre at planting and
then top-dressed with a complete
fertilizer carrying 10% potash. Says
Mr. Herlong: "My cotton never
vasts since I began using high? ?amounts
of potash and my yields
and the quality of the erop hav*
shown a decided improvement."
The first four farmers in the contest
used an average of 72 pounds
of pure potash per acre or as much
potash as is contained in 900 pound*
of fertilizer carrying 8% potash.

South Carolinians will be given the
opportunity of taking part in a nation-wide
movement for the preservation
and conservation of the wild-life
resources q( the nation during the
week of March 19 to 25, which has
been designated as National Wildlife
Restoration week in the United
States.
Feature of the observance will be
the sale of wildlife Btamps in sheets
of eighty and of albums especially
designed to preserve the wildlife
stamps of this year, last year and
years to come.
The albums which have attracted
much favorable attention from both
sportsmen and stamp collectors, have
the sixteen stamps issued in 1938 already
in place, and include space for
| the 1939 tokens. Of loose-leaf con'
struction, they are so designed as to
permit addition of wildlife stamps issued
each year in connection with the
national observance.
The sheet of eighty stamps issued
ffltr 1989 potraya wildlife common to
the United States in five general classifications,
Including: Wild flowers,
ten stamps; trees, ten stamps; fish
fifteen stamps; song and ineectivor
ous birds, fifteen stamps; mammals,
fifteen stamps; and upland game birds
and waterfowl, fifteen stamps. Six
colors are employed.
Well-known artists wHo specialize
in the potrayal of out-door subjects
were secured to design the stamps
including:
P. L. Jacques, who painted seven
subjects in the feame birds and wild
fowl group, the bald eagle, greenwinged
teal, wood duck, wild turkey,
snow goose, egret and pelican.
Lynn Bogue Hunt, who painted the
woodcock, prarle chicken, California
"'illct, nwL killdeer,
trumpeter swan, WilBon jack snipe
and others.
Fred Everett, who drew the picture
of the long-billed curlew, and, in addition,
twelve fish subjects, large
mouth bass, muskellunge, yellow
perch, bullhead, blueglll, rainbow
trout, crappie, sunflsh, tarpon, lake
trout and white fish.
John Stelnmetz, the cougar; John
Eppensteiner, the woodchuck, bobat,
elk and pronghorn antelope; Roger EJ. _
Peterson, who is widely recognized
for his illustrations In the Audubon
society's publication, who drew fifteen
bird stamps; and Leslie Ragan, who
painted the wild flowers and tree designs.
The stamps and albums will be offered
, for sale throughout the state
during the week of state game and
flsh chapters, the Garden club ofSouth
Carolina, the South Carolina
Federation of Women's clubB, the 4-H.
clubs and other organizations. ^
West Jacocks, of Columbia, secretary
of the State Game and Fish association
is state chairman for the
week.
season and handle baseball games.
The grand old American game; is the
essence of happiness and joy to this
chap.
We understand that planB are being
made to have the new baseball
park under the constant surveillance
of a caretaker. Swell idea and as
Jack Corbett sez, "If a fence board
falls out nail It back at once and do
not wait until half ?a dozen fall out."
And we would suggest thai the baseball
diamond be reserved only for
regular games of the high school or
Legion teams. ? *
By the way, a few days ago our
good friend. Banjo Smith, mentioned
about boxing belhg banned in the Big
Ten Conference. Wondei4 where
Banjo got that pipe dream. As a matter
of fact the Wisconsin boxing team
has just completed its second year of
being unbeaten and the teams the
Badgers have outfought are Big Ten
as well as the best in the east. In
fact, the Badgers rate as National
champions.
o
If you don't think this man's town
is baseball conscious, just listen to
this. A meeting of merchants was
called for 11 o'clock one morning last
week. - There was quite a crowd at
the meeting. And after disposing of
what business matters before the
meeting the gang sat around for half
an hour or more Just talking baseball.
It was the baseball of the Syracuse
Chiefs, the prospects of a winning
high school team, what kind of a team
would the Legion have and do yon
think we can have league baseball
Every one present was delighted
over the., fine park that Camden now
boasts. One of the men made inquiry
r ae to why the north ten** of the park
! was bolted to poets instead of being
' .
1
spiked as on the other sides. *
?
We explained that this section of
fence had been put up in a manner
calculated to make it easy to remove
when the county fair is held and ad*
dltlonal area will be needed to place
the merry-go-round, ferrls wheels and
other rideB and aide show attractions.
Well sir-e-e-e, it was as if some one
had touched off a bomb. Everyone
present waxed indignant over the removal
of the fence to permit trucks,
rides, side shows and the like to en*
croach upon the baseball field.
Remember back a few weeks when
the Monetta, 8. C., high school girls
team, with a world record of^ wins,
spanked the Qroveland gals from
Florida at Barnwell. I said then
when Monetta played a return game <
at Oroveland It would mark the end
; of the world record sequence of wins.
I Oroveland won 64 to 60.
The Monetta group came home
loud in their praise of the fine treatment
received at Oroveland and much 0
impressed with the beautfcs of the
Sunshine state. ??
Quite a few of the baseball fans 7
here were unduly excited over the
showing made by the. Chiefs iff the
game against South Carolina last
Saturday. To one who has been in
major and double A training camps
in Florida the game was just another
training event?for the Chiefs. Win
or lose did not mean a thing to them.
Naturally the Gamecock fans Were
jubilant. And they have a right to
feel, quite proud of their team, for It
is a smart, alert college aggregation.
But for any of the faithful follower*
to get the Idea they are superior to
Jack Corbett's is just a brainstorm,
prompted by -Ignorance. After another
week of conditioning <m the.
Hart of the Chiefs we would be wlllto
wager that the Corbett crew
.mould wta twelve out of twelve front
the Gamecock*. * T-rW
