] Ctui&ing J I Around J with j Tho Skipper J Now, if you road the paper uua don t read this you won't bo any worse off, but Just the same here goes, and 8et, how it sounds: . While traveling these here parts, enjoying the beautiful scenery, the wonderful roads, an occasional whift of the inviting aroma of Juicy apple orchards, it carries nio back to dear 0lil Camden. Yes, Camden the city of sports, right down there in the true South. Speaking of sports, I wonder how Alderman Jack Nettles and his Palmetto leaguers are getting along? A 1st) 1 miss following that Legion Junior team of Coach Lynwood Smith. Now, there's a team of youngsters that play ball.. While on the subject of baseball, I wonder if a lots of you wouldn't like to be right here with me in those parts enjoying big league ball. As I have followed big league ball for a long time, I see where Joe Cronln Is following what I have been saying all the time?shoot your best pitchers against those Yanks, and always Tteep Joe DeMaggio as lead off man and ho won't be scoring runs ahead of him when he hits those home runs. I don't blame Joe McCarthy for sending Bob Feller in to stop the National league rally In the all-star game. It would have been tough for rookie I>onalds, or some other Yankee pitcher to get their ears pinned back. Yes, sure old Gabby Hartnett couldn't show his face in Philadelphia. The fans gave him some hearty boos for not playing their local idol, Arnovitch. * Well, here's hoping that my friend Donald Morrison Is coming along fine. * * f Does this sound like the Skipper? 1 jumped into my car one afternoon and decided I would see how the cotton, corn, beans, peas and gardens Aad responded to the hot summer days. My first jaunt was out Lugoff way. In that vicinity I saw some mighty 15?e cotton grown by James Roseboro, Mr. Ward, his two sons, James and Victor Ward. That 4 in 1 cotton, Clevewilt and Coker's one hundred looked mighty good. * On my way to Rabon's Cross Roads 1 stopped and chatted with Henry Roulware. He had just finished poisoning the boll weevils. He poisoned eleven acres last year, but decided to poison forty acres this year duo to good results that he got last year, and ; !so the good results ho observed on John Rabon's cotton last year. While chatting at Mitchell Rabon's store a group of farmers were discussing results they observed in the vicinity from the use of mixing fertilizers which a group of them had met and studied several nights back in the spring. Whit Rabon saying that he intends to mix his fertilizer from now on. Province Branham saying one < ould easily see the reults In his cotton. While in this vicinity I saw something very Interesting to our friend, J.dm Mullin. Several farmers observing the results of tests made with Chilean nitrate of soda for cotton on D'-witt Branham's farm. Also the teBt mailt.* on Glenn Rabon's farm for corn. Tht- results are very evident that cotion and corn can use nitraate of soda - r nitrogen in some form. * ? * Yes, sure there's some good cotton around Lugoff. Rabon's Cross Roads and vicinity. A bunch of those farm r? got together, decided to poison Mr. Boll Weevil, and they are doing Knur men and one woman were senitiK' tl to death in Moscow this week f >" thefts from apartments and government offices in Azerbaijan, a SoNil*' Socialist republic. Three others, ir.ruiding a woman, were sentenced to 1" years' imprisonment.

Burgunder, ^mtll April 29, a sophomore student at Arizona State Teachers College of Temple, was convicted of the murder of Jack Peterson, Phoenix automobile salesman. Still pending against him is a charge of murdering Ellis M. Koury,, another salesman.

Divers were ordered down to survey how much damage was done late Thursday when the $4,000,000 vessel ripped away from Its net of lifting equipment, danced on Its tall for brief seconds, bow whipping above the surface, and then dove swiftly back to the bottom where It had rested since the first fatal plunge May 23. High naval officials and technical experts conferred all through the night aboard the rescue ship Falcon to map out a new plan of action, but little apparently could be accomplished until the divers determined wheth I or any damage had Neon dune to the!

And then something went wrong. Associated Press observers at the scene told of a wild flurry which occurred with all the auddeness and horror of a dynamite blast. Two big lifting pontoons zoomed to the surface. the bow of the submarine between them. Twenty feet of the sub's' pointed straight at the sky. Two of the Falcon's whaloboats, car*.

Four of the seven big pontoons remained on the water, obviously sheered from the lines which had held them to the Squalus, two of them spouting water. The salvage crew, Including some of the thirty-three men rescued from ttie Squalus the day after she plunged to tragedy off tl^p Isles of Shoals, was so dlaheurted by the failure of the lifting effort, that an officer?one of the thirty-three, survivors?wept as 1 ho announced It.
