10TH ANNIVERSARY PASTORATE
Sunday, July 2. being the tenth anniversary
of the pastorate of Kev. J.
It fusion, of the Camden lluptist
church, a short but Impressive service
wiih held at the morning hour of worship.
After the devotional everclses,
and the rendering of un anthem by
the choir, It. ? IMtts arose and In a
few remarks stated the object of the
remaining part of the service. He,
then called upon W. t). Wilson, senior
deacon, to preside. He, In turn called
upon representatives. from the different
departments of the church, who
reported great progress under the
leadership of Mr. Custom The greetings
from Mrs. It. C. IMtts, president
of the Woman's Missionary society,
and V. J. Rector, superintendent of
the Sunday school, were particularly
Impressive, and were Indicative of the
love and esteem all the departments
of the church have for their pastor.
Mr. Wilson then spoke In behalf of
the congregation at large, making
brief mention of the numerical and
spiritual growth of the church during
the last ten years, under the able
leadership of Mr. Custom and expressed
the hope that It would be the Divine
will for him to remain here as
pastor for many more years. At the
conclusion of hts remarks, he then on

Canton as a slight token of their love
and esteem, a handsome sterling silver

and pledged anew his earnest
efforts to be of service to this church
and community.
The congregation Joined in singing
AuId Lang Syne." after which the
Lord's Supper was partaken of, which
ended tht^ morning service.
Shade Trees Temper Heat
The great value of shade trees was
clearly demonstrated by the recent
temperature reading in South Carolina,
says the State Forest service.
Thermometer readings In the sun recently
went as high as 120 degrees yet
those in the shade registered slightly ^
over 101 degrees, thus giving a differ- ^
once of 19 degrees In favor of shaded J
areas. I
The value of shaded highways, ^
streets and business districts is gen- ^
erally appreciated by forward looking ^
citizens, some city officials and parJlcularlv
by city planners but the uv- (
,-rage citizen usually thinks of shade ^
tr-es and their ben.-tits only insofar
as residential sections and farm i esidptices
arc concerned. However. ^
shoppers, highway travellers and those (
whose duties carry them out in the
mid day suu are made more comfort- ^
abie by the presence of shade trees. ( ^
Many towns and cities lose their ^
beauty' and sacrifice the comfort of (
their i ItUens by eliminating the shade ^
(mm the main thoroughfares or
by fnillng to provide for their needs ^
or replacement. j j
In addition to shielding people, side-^
walks, street paving and the tops and (
tildes of buildings from the sun. large ^
shade trees transpire several hundred
gallons of water daily and thereby aid }
in reducing the temperature of the
mi: rounding air. j
"Almost everyone is alert to the
fact that trees add beauty to towns.,
cities ami highways hut it takes a
siege of hot weather to make us real-'
ize how much they add to our physical
comfort if present or how unfortur.a-e
w e are if they are la. king." said (

Green Soybeans For
Summer Grazing
Clemaon, June 24.?"The low price
of hogs makes It all the more Important
that South Carolina farmers produce
.wrfc.as cheap as possible," says
A. L. DuRant. extension livestock specialist,
who advises green soybeans for
valuuble summer grazing.
"Experiments conducted by the
South Carolina Experiment station
show green soybeans to be one of the
best summer grazing crops for hogs,
Mr. DuRant continues. "Many farmers
In this state now have green soybeans
that they can use to advantage for
grazing. The pigs should be turned
on when the soybeans are about one
foot high."
Mr. DuRant says that a full ratloq
of corn and a protein supplement such
as fish meal, tankage, or a mixture of
equal parts of cottonseed meal and
tlsh meal or tankage should be fed
to plge while grazing on soybeans.
A self-feeder may be used where the
pigs can eat free-choice, or each pig
may be given one-half pound per day
of this protein supplement and all the
corn It will eat. Barley or oats may
be substituted for part of the corn ration.
Plenty of shade and an abundance
of fresh water should be supplied
at all times.
"This method of feeding will get
the pigs on the market as early as
possible, which should be of particular
advantage this year since a heavy
run of hogs Is expected on the market
in the fall." the specialist concludes.
KERSHAW COUNTY LANDOWNERS
PLANT 170,530 FOREST TREES
landowners in Kershaw county during
the past season planted 170,530
trees on farm lands of the county.
Much of the land planted being unsulted
for cultivation had been In an unproductive
condition for a number of
years. '
Many farmers took advantage of
benefit payments made available for
tree planting as specified under the
Agricultural Adjustment program.
Recent observations of trees planted
during the past, winter showed a
survival of from 80 to 90 per cent for
oblollv and slash pine, while longleaf
line survival was some lower. Favorible
weather conditions contributed
argely to the general success obtainI
Ml.
The following is a list showing
luantltles of trees by species that
vere planted in the county during the
>ast planting season:
Longleaf, 39.000; slash, 80.530; lobolly,
43,000; black walnut, 2,000; toal.
170,530.
Landowners are rapidly coming to
eallze the value of planting trees as
l part of their regular farm program
iml are likewise beginning to depenl
note than ever on the farm woodlot

State forest tree nurseries at
Georgetown, Sumter and Camden are
trowing seedlings for distribution to
andowners at cost of production dur

Persons interested in securing seedings
for planting should place their

Change of Scene
Every few months some scribe
writes of his town in the local newspapers
as follows: "If our people were
aware of the beauty of this city and
its countryside, they would never take
their vacation elsewhere."
The assumption, of course, ie-Tlxal.
we seek beautiful natural settings
when we go on a holiday. Some of
us are pleased to see fine scenery, but
what we want most of all on a vacation
Is a change. Even a change for
the woj-Be is better than no change
at all.
We crave a change of view, of faces,
of food, of activity, of clothes, even
of language.
A person really isn't ready for a
vacation unless he is in a mood that
makes him eager to get just as far
away from every familiar scene and
person as his money will take him.
The desire to get away and take a
chance on what he finds at the end
of the road is evidence that he needs
a rest, if he is seriously concerned
with the beds and the menus at his
destination, he might better stay right
at home. |
The ideal time to terminate a vacation
would be about four days after
the first yearnings for home and work
are noticed. When you begin to get
restless and uncomfortable, the vacation
is over. You have taken the cure
and recovered. |
A noted physician once advised a
rich patient to take frequent short
vacations instead of an occasional
long vacation. The ideal length of
time for recuperation, this doctor said,
is three weeks each are better than
a single vacation of three months, ac-'
cording to this theory.?Imperial Magazine.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
(By Spectator) j
Shall the highway department con- {
truct an office building for itself? Up- 1
oil first hearing of it I shouted with (
the chorus No! I have a "sneaking '
suspicion" that there are too many (
offices, typewriters (typists, too) operating
at the expense of the state.
As a general practice It is quite prop- (
er to swat a'fly, and I favor swatting 1
every new office. That applies to of- 1
flee buildings, also. A poor man
would do well to curb his appetite <
and reduce his girth whenever his )
clothes become too tight. Just so. I I
favor periodical diets for the state so '
that It may not bulge at the waist If
you feed a man rich, starchy, sweet 1
and fat foods and buy new clothes as 1
fast as he expands, his wardrobe will 1
soon look like a second-hand clothing !
store And so with the state; it has 1
grown fat and soft !
About that highway building. I a:n i
opposed to that building. 1 was asked '
by a sturdy senator recently if my op- <
position to the highway building were I
based on knowledge or on prejudice i
That came as a shock to me. for a I
minute 1 had joined in the atml <
chorus, believing that the highway do* 1
partment had become so puffed up
ami swanky that it was planning an i
office building as a bit of conceit ami I
vainglorious exhibition.
Said the senator to me: "Did you .
know a governor named Olln I). John ]
ston?" Yes. indeed, I knew Governor
Johnston; knew him pleasantly 1
"Well, was Governor Johnston a friend I
to the highway department?" Truth
compelled me to admit that once or <
twice 1 thought Governor Johnston ]
was lacking In warm, brotherly love
for the said department and hud on
one or two occasions indicated an unfriendly
spirit toward It. "Well, ho.
Governor Olin D. Johnston, signed
the order for the highway department
to erect its own office building and
to vacate the spaee it now occupies^
Well, the world came crashing down
on my head. Did Olin do that? Well.
I'll bo homswoggled; "who'd a thunk
it?"
In pursuit of truth?and I'm hot in
behind It, whether I ever catch up
or not?I demanded to be shown the
records. Well, the records show that
at a meeting of the Sinking Fund
commission of South Carolina, held
on ithe first day of November of 1938
a notice was sent to the State Highway
commission and such an order
was formulated which 1 quote verbatim,
literatim et punctuatim, to wit:
"The State Sinking Fund commission
hereby authorize you to purchase land
in the city of Columbia and to erect
thereon an office building for your
uses,", etc. And it was signed by Governor
Olin D. Johnston.
Well, now, if this idea of a building
is not something which Ben Sawyer
tried to put over; but, on the
contrary, is an Idea, a meritorious
proposal, a statesmanlike plan, sweetened
to taste by Governor Johnston
himself?'then what was the reason for
such a building?
Now we that Governor Maybank
is not the sort of man to go
out of his way to help the highway
department; he has not mobilized the
navy of the state In the Congaree river
In order to repell any invasions
by the highway department. This
proves that this governor does not
think it necessary to suppress the
highway insurrection with military or
naval force. Governor Maybank is
not an enemy of any public service
and in my Judgment the highway department
could trust the governor to
do the right thing without prejudice.
Bui, while Governor Maybank is no
enemy of the highway department he
has shown a certain independence of
criterion which makes me put my
finger on the fact that he favored the
construction of an office building and
on the second day of November. 1938,
telegraphed to Washington urging
favorable consideration of the application
requesting federal funds to aid
In the construction of an office building
for the South Carolina state high- '
way department." So on November 1,.
governor Johnston was In favor of >
:his building and on November 2, Gov-(
?rnor Maybank (then Mayor of Char-'
eston) telegraphed to Washington inlorsing
the project.
Spectator, as a diligent seeker after i
.ruth, has found that the secretary,
,f tho Sinking Fund commission,
(vrote a letter to the highway department
and told those boys to get out.
Those of us who know F. C. Robinson, j
Lhe secretary, know that he wrote a J
eter to the highway department and
.old those boys to get out. Those of
is who know F. C. Robinson, the sec etary,
know that he wrote a polite
etter , but the mean of the matter
was to vamoose, pull bp your pegs,
pack your duds or light a rag. As
rou see, it was perfectly clear that
Mr. RoblnBon meant to put Ben Sawder
out. In fact, Mr. Robinson wrote
i long letter about it and In that letter
he said, "You will see from the
ibove that both buildings will be com
pletely occupied and that there will
not be any available space for the
highway, department. And by March,
591 Mr.coso4 ,oxSu(n n hrdlu brdlu ri
1940. it will be necesaary for the highway
department to vacate the space'
used by it." In other words, says the I
31nklng Fund commission to Colonel
Ben Sawyer and his cohorts Scram! ,
Ml of which strikes me as being fairly
plain. !
Now having got all this off m> mind,
[ repeat my opposition to another of-,
(Ice building.
What does interest me is that a lot
jt us?and Spectator is one of them?,
have gone off half-cocked. The faul ^
Is not entirely ours. The highway
department should have given - these
facts to the newspaper. It should
take the people more Into consideration
by giving out information. Instead
of being the giant behemoth,
treading heavily over opposition and
breathing fire from its nostrils, I am
almost persuaded that the big highway
department is Just a poor little
boy whom we bad men are mistreating
and throwing rocks at. Well,
r*ii!
The highway department may be a
body of competent workers; it may
build good roads and bridges; it may
have organized an efficient patrol; it
may even be a supremely competent
organization?most people say it is?
but it certainly has let a hostile opinion
pervade the state without knowing
how to deal with the public.
Instead of a vainglorious strut, I
find that the department was ordered
by the landlord to get out, and by the
governor to put up a building. Well,
well!
Weather hot? Down my way we've *
had so much rain that broiling weather
is needed to stagger old Bre'r Wee- '
vil. So, I can't complain. When the
weather man says its c?nt in
the shade I hope old frtJU?'**weevil is {
getting it in the neck at 120 per cent. '
I think I can hold out at 100 per cent
as long as he can take it at 120 per
cent.

It la believed that one thing needed to attract woodcock are dancing
grounds, suitable clearings in the thickets where the male can perform
his courting antics In the air. The female woodcook carries the downy
young from a place of danger, flying with them, one at a time, between her
thighs. The woodcock breeds in the northeastern United States and Eastern
Canada, and winters far enough south to find soft earth tor its
flexible, probing bill. Lynn Bogue Hunt painted the woodcock for the
1939 Wildlife Week poster stamps, distributed by the National Wildlife
Federation.
Bloodthirsty, But Bashful I
The bobcat, also called wildcat or bay lynx, la only slightly smaller than
lta cousin, the Canadian lynx. The bobcat was at one time found In every
section of the country where there were forests. A big bobcat will weigh
85 or 40 pounds. Wildcats prey on small animals, and climb trees when V
hunted with dog*; In Michigan the bounty was removed from bobcats
because of the sport they afford hound-owners. Although the bobcat's
blood-curdling cries have terrified many a wayfarer, wildcats are very "~"9
shy of man, and are rarely seen. The bobcat was painted by John J. Epen- '9
stelner for the 1939 Wildlife Week poster stamps, distributed by the National
Wildlife Federation.
