CHICKEN PICKING MACHINE
BEATS CHAMP PICKERS
Richmond, Va?In the (rend of the)
times, with machines replacing workera
on every hand, a new mechanical
device has entered the chicken picking
Held. One of these new much lues,
*et up in the poultry market of I. I\
( Martin here, was seen in its Hrst dom|Onstratk?n
hist week, and among these
| looking on were a group of Richmond
champ, chicken-pickers, who looked in
awe at the now machine.
The new machine denuded fowl of
their feathers so fast the handptckers
stood by pop-eyed. In the demonstration,
conducted by factory agents, the
machine plucked and washed 25 dhlckens
in loss than six minutes. The
best previous handplcking record was
one chicken in three-quarters of a
minute, a pace which could not he
maintained.
Handled by three men, the machine
denuded 2.000 chickens of tholr
feathers in one day, with one man doing
the scalding, another holding the
dead bird in the machine, and a third
plucking tho long tall and wing feathers.
The machine does not , handle
these.
The mechanical chicken-picker )s a
| sheet-gteel box with a whirling drum
j In which are set flexible "Angers" of
J corrugated l\Q?e. The Angers, about
j 250 of them, aro about 4 inches Jong,
'and the drum whirls them rapidly. A
chicken held against the flying fingers"
Is plucked clean, even to tho
smallest pin feather.
Mr. Martin, the shop owner, was enthusiastic
about the'device, yet said
ho was sorry it would replace chickenpickers.
As ho expressed regret over
this anglp of it one of the hand-pickers
spoke up quickly, saying, "Oh,
that's all right boss, the army's going
to get us anyhow."
^had no use for the cushions as every
'seat was taken" he said.
Many thanks to Lin wood Smith and
Benny Robinson for a swell job of
spotting for this department during
the game. Its a tough assignment to
chart a game from the sidelines, but
i with Lin wood on one side and Bennle
on the other, we went along famously.

J According to our chart. Sumter made
'12 first down to 9 scored by Camden.
! In yardage from scrimmage Sumter
j posted 179 as against 112 for Camden.
Camden made 8 yards through passing
and Sumter 39. Camden attempted
3 and completed 1. One Sumter
pass was Intercepted. Sumter was
penalized 15 yards for cipping and 10
yards for offside.

You can't keep a good man down Is
an old saying but It was well exemplified
Friday night at Uhe football
stadium when Carl Ligh t toot, his neck
In a cast, appeared with Mrs. Lightfoot.
Carl left a hospital bed where
he has been recovering from an accident
wihich broke -two bones In his
neck. After the game he returned
immediately to the hospital. When a
fellow loves a sport sufficient to do
what Carl did, well, no wonder the
folks have admiration and affection
for him.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
(By Spectator)
A New organisation has opened
State Hlkrtfquartcrs in Columbia and
begun its work?-Organlz?3 Bualueaii
Incorporated, la Its nam? and it begins
operation# at a time wlten we need a
united front In our State. An its name
indicates, the organization la composed
of Individuals, and onterpriaee, and
cooperates closely with all business
groups. This Organization will enlist
the businessmen of the State in pro*!
uioilng the development of its econvunIc
welfare. That sounds so geuoral
that we may sot forth more specific
objectives:
To use every effort to brlug more
Industrie* to our Stat*. In this endeavor
it will act on Its own initiative,
if necessary, but will use every resource
to cooperate with groups now
soliciting new industries. For example,
every Chamber of Commerce in
the State, every power company?and
others?are constantly at work presenting
the advantages of South Carolina.
Organized Business, incorporated,
will also present to the legislature
and to the citizens recommendations
for the removal of obstacles to our de-l
volopment, as well aa to facilitate successful
approach.
Tho Legislature. when clearly Informed.
Is usually ready to do lis part,
as was proved last session by the repeal
of the tax on Intangibles.
Oftentimes businessmen of the
State have occasion to appear before
Boards, Commissions, or officials of
the State. This Organization Is not
trying to sot up a practice before
State and Federal officials, but it will I
serve as a source of information and
cooperation, so far as may be practl-l
cable. It may bo said that whenever
a businessman?or any other citizen?I
has occasion to consult some one and
doesn't know who tihe right man is, J
this t Organization will try to put him
in the right path.
Business is our most numerous of
the unorgainzed forces of the State. I
Through business we all earn our llv-J
ing. Business 19 not only something
of interest to the (heavily capitalized
enterprise, whose volumo runs high
into the millions, it is the interest and
concern of thousands of small merchants.
garages, shops and activities
of all kinds. Rightly considered, every
man who works for a living is al
businessman, for the employer depends
upon ihiin, Just as he lives on
the wages from his Job. So. Organized
Business, Incorporated, invites all
citizens to work together for the
building of our State, so that through
new payrolls a more liberal and
stable Income may be enjoyed, and a
larger number of our people gainfully J
employed all the year, by gi-eater diversity
of business opportunity. I
The President of Organized Busi-1
ness, Incorporated, Is C. Norwood!
Hastie of Charleston, banker and own-l
er of Magnolia Gardens. Now In the!
fullness of his powers Mr. Hostle has
a vision of South Carolina throwing J
off her Inferiority complex and marching
in the road of progress and better-1
meat with tho most advanced of herl
sister states. To this he is giving lib-J
erally or hi6 time and money. Under!
Che urge of a fresh and vigorous enthusiasm
he is dedicating himself to
the service of the public.
The General Manager of Organized
Business is David A. Skinner, who has
movlfd to Columbia to assume his
duties. For thirty years Mr. Skinner
was Secretary of the Unit'sl Stat *
Chamber of Commerce. Here Is a
man o? great drviing force, thoroughly
grounded in what he is undertaking, I
and devoting all his training to the
furtherance of 'he aim of the b>e,?n-|
ization.
South Carolina may count among I
her assets a clean and puhlicrspii. 'd|
press , radio broadcast ing stations I
which exercise a close supervision tol
assure wholesome programs, a con-e-l
crated ministry which is alive lo tho
whole life of tho State, a public administration
among the best, and al
judiciary which metes out Justice. All!
these elements together aro the foundation
of a good State. And wo add
to this, a peacable people, a people not
rich hut happy?a comfortable state,
as Dr. Ball once called It; a suite with-J
out violent extremes of wealth audi
poverty, good fortune and calamity,!
learning and ignorance, fanaticism |
and depravity.
Charleston County will have to pay
$150,000 a year more for the rice it
buy8 than it has been paying. A great
steamship lino which has been bringing
the rice to Charleston from Texas
port* since 1845 has stopped running
Ships to our old seaport. That means
that the freight on the rice consumed
in Charleston County will cost $Jo0,000
more. I didn't know they ev<m
used that much rice, yet I should
know, for rice is on every table there
for the midday meal, call It lunch or
dinner. When a low-countryman sits
to tho table and sees no rice he kne ws

Some time ago pMaengor service
from Charleston to New York was discontinued
Those ships also carried
freight. They have recently renewed
sailings to and from Charleston, hut If
wo don't ship by the whip lines the
service will bo out off again. Now
why does that Interest us? Because
we enjoy a competitive water freight
mto as long as we dpivo ships making
regular sailings. After a while nil our
freight ejnargos will Ih> increased so
that the shoo will pluoh about twotliiixla

from W. I- a some months ago, If sea

of Charleston, we may help build up

It Is alt very well -and highly desirable?-to

Wo have entered the Period of
County fairs. s<x>n to have a climax In
a splendid State fair. Originally the
fairs were agricultural and to the
fairs were sent the best produce of
the farm, including specimens of the
skill of the farm-ladies. Horses,
mules, cows and hogs were exhibited J
and all the farmers vied with one en-i
other In showing off their fine
Our State fair presents the choicest!
specimens from many County fairs, as
well as the exhibition of hundreds of
things not shown at County fairs, as
a rule.
Of oourse we use the State Fair a?|
a great get-together time. Even the|
politicians come she fair to feel
the pulse of the State. And you can,
take the temperature of all the State
right at the Fair grounds, for hundreds
come from even the smallest
communities a long way off.
Having a farm myself. I like to look
at the live stock, the agricultural machinery,
and the finest products of the,
farms, but being just an ordinary map,J
I stand spell bound before the cakes
and other <fielec|table Items of the
handiwork of the farmerettes. In imagination
I think of turning loose a
t welve-yeaT-old-boy amid all 'the pro
fusion of preserves. Jellies, cakes and
candles; nor would 1 trust myself and
their fathers too far where all the fine
hams are shown.
It would help every citizen to attend
the State fair. Sometimes we are
freshly stimulated by what otheisi
have done, and at other times we may
have the satisfaction of knowing that
we have done as well as the others.
Come to the fair and mingle with
the crowd, and even get off your dignity.
A competition of school bands |
will be held and auto races are scheduled.

of boys and girls. I rohmed

methods of growing, refrigerating,
and transporting, some form of this
highly perlshablo food can put in an
appearance at the dinner table every
duy in the year. *
Most important of our salad crops j
is lettuce wRh its four types, the
crisp head, the butterhead. cos or
romatue, and leaf. Though its rise to
popularity is recent, lettuce can trace
its origin beak hundreds of years to
a plant carried from Burppo to the
Himalayas. It derives Its name from
"lavctuca" of classical times, whoso
milky fluid served the Romans as a
freckle remover and sedative. In the
Seventeenth century KWTTlS won a
reputation for cooling a "hot and fainting
stomaoke." Crisp head lettuce is
the reining * favorite In the markets
from coast to coast.
On its home ground In the Wast the
butterhead holds its own. Sinuller.
softer than the Iceberg, the main commercial
crop of Western lettuce growers
and of growing importance with
I Florida and Carolina growers, the butterhead
has straight <xlgod leaves of
a rather coarse texture. It gains Its
name from its tender golden heart
leavos. Not so handsome as its western
rival, the butterhead makes up in
flavor for what it lacks iu looks.
Of the several varieties?Big Boston,
White Boston, Unrivaled, May
King?Big IVoston is the only one offering
competition to Iceberg in the
carload movement of lettuce and then
only in limited areas.
Cob or romalne is another heading
lettuce family comes to market in the
spring and fall. Its elongated head is
composed of narrow leaves, bleaching
from medium green at tho outside to
creamy white at the center. Thick
midribs give the leaves a crunchy. full
body, and flavor Is rloh.
I^eaf lettuce is not grown extensively
in a commercial way. Market gardeners,
in some sections, like to grow
this plant because of Its hardy nature,
and greenhouse leaf lettuce finds a
ready sale in Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
and certain Eastern markets. But
both the straight-edged, smooth-leaf
type of leaf lettuce and the Grand
Rapids variety with Its wavy, tigrhtiy
curled green leaves, are losing ground
steadily to the heading lettuces.
Ijettuce makes exacting demands
wherever grown and by whatever
method. It' requires good soil rich in
organic matter, sufficient water, plenty
of fertilizer, a large amount of hard
1 1,1 1
labor, an even temperature, and protection
from Its worst enemy?excessive
heat. Even after the heads have
been cut, they call for special care untLl
they are delivered at the''custom*
era's doorstep. ~
