MAKE LIVING ON THE FARM
Thorn I* much <11hcmotion Just low
as lo what should bo done for the cot'
ton farmer in order that ho may get
Hip price of his labor and tho full tost
of production, Also much has boon
douo latoly to arouse farmers as lo
the necessity of growing on the farm
all possible food crops so that little
lined bo bought with cotton money.
The Press and Standard wishes to
urge that this be done. If the farmer
docs not need to buy things ho can
grow on his farm, tlmro .wllPlm little
neod for not ton money to provide a living
There are many crops of food
value not now being gro^p on many
farms in Colleton county. These
farms must, therefore, <I01H<11<I upon
the money received from cotton to
buy those things and of course if tho
cost of production of cotton is as
much, or oven less, than the farmer
ciln got for tho. cotton, It moans
financial ruin for the farmer. On the
contrary If tho Tanner grows everything
he needs for home consumption
on the farm, and has lo buy only the
few other things he needs for himself
and family, Uien cotton money will
bo surplus and the family will ho
Independent.
This is a natural livestock country.
There Is a market for hogs, cattle and
poultry. These any farmer ran grow
at a profit, lie does not need to
utilize tho best acros 011 his farm for
cotton". Ho can plant crops for hogs,
cuttle and poultry, and markot these
iiisirad, and mako use of some of
them for homo consumption. Thero
is where independence comos. Freedom
from the necessity of buying
moat, flour, oggs and poultry, will
pliable th<> farmer lo llvo with llttlo
outlay for food. His cotton, or llvostork
money, can go for buying clothing,
gasoline and the few things ho
cannot raise on tho farm, as woll as
pa> lug taxes and Insurance.
This week we saw a fanner carrying
home with him from a store in Walterlxiro
a bunch of turnips for his dinner.
Doubtless ho also had bought
some "fat back" with which to cook
them Is It not a reflection upon the
industry of any farmer who has to buy
vegetables when the garden would
produce all ho needs and a surplus?
All that Is necessary Is little thrift
and using some of the time devoted
to "going to town." Even many families
In town can have a good a 11-theyeur
garden and produce their own
vegetables. Ye editor does. Vegetables
from one's own garden have a more
delicious flavor than those bought, we
find. -Walterboro Press and Standard.

Life Of Christ To
He Shown On Sereen
. tpr- ; "
The famous talking picture
Golgotha" whclh cost $800,000 to
produce and which depicts the life
of Christ. is to bo presented In Camden
next Monday. December 16 at
the auditorium of the Camden
grammar school under the sponsor-,
ship of the Wontana Auxiliary of the
Grace Episcopal church. There will
be a showing at 2:20 o'clock in the
afternoon and 7 o'clock in the evening.
At 8:20 the picture will bo shown at
the Browning school.
Special free tickets for this event
are being given out by merchants of
the city. Those tickets with 14 cents,
ten cents of which is part of the admission
fee and the balance the statei
amusement tax, will admit the bearer
to the screen offering.
The picture is non-sectarian and
wherever it has been shown has proved
the keenest of praise. The picture
is entirely different from anything
ever shown in this community ami is
the first and only talking lnouou
picture made in the life and crucifixion
of Christ.
It presents the Immortal story of
Christ In a spectacular and Impressive
manner. Critics everywhere have aci
; .
claimed It the greatest picture of Its
kind over made.
Vou are all familiar with such characters
an Pontius Pilate, the Roman
Governor who washed his hands of the
crucifixion because he found no guilt
In Christ. Vou remember King Herod,
who taunted and abused Christ, and
you recall the twelve disciples, one
of them. Judas, who betrayed Jesus,
and you huve often read the story
of Mary, the mother of Josus. These
characters and many more actually
live and speak to you from the screen
In this Immortal picture, "Golgotha".
Throughout the entire story the character
of Christ Is portrayed in a dignified
and impressive manner, by tho
most talented actor ever to play such
an important role. You have often
heard and read the story of Jesus,
hut in this great talking motion picture.
the story is re-created in an
unusual and remurkable manner that
will hold your Interest from beginning
to end.
If you like good-entertainment, seo
"Golgotha." If you like to see the
most unusual and gigantic motion
picture ever produced, likewise see
"Golgotha." The film is spectacular,
unusual, and highly entertaining, and
remember, it's a talking picture, tho
first aud only one ever made of the
story of Christ.
Insure Delivery By
Mailing Gifts Early
Porti master C. P. DuI>ose ana nis
assistants at the local post office are
urging the citizens of the town and
community to do their Christmas
shopping early and mail gifts as
quickly as possible. This will insure
prompt delivery of all gifts that
may be delayed if mailed late.
During the holiday time the mail
increases approximately 200 per cent
according to Mr. DuBose. It is a
physical impossibility to handle this
great mass of mail matter efficiently
and promptly within a few days.
Therefore to assure delivery of
Ohristmas presents, cards, and letters
by Christmas day the patrons of
the local office and other post offices
in the county are urged to shop and
mail early
Mr. DuBose thinks that it would
be wise for the. patrons of the post
office to do their Christmas shopping
so that they can mail gifts,
greetings, and letters a week or 10
days before Christmas, according to
lie- distance which the mall must go.
This will not only make It certain
thai they are received before Christmas
day but will he a great aid to
the postal service and will enable
postal employees to spend Christmas
day with their families.
Reports indicate that the now
l/<?i kheed interceptor travels .100 miles
an hour with the throttle wide open.
The plane has a range of 1.100 miles,
and a climbing speed of 4,000 feet per
minute.

Here At Home
Through tho Department* of Public
Welfare it has been learned that in
Camden and Kershaw County thero is
a large number of little children who
will have very little if anything to
make them happy at Christmas. An
T^ITort is being made to fill stockings
for these children. If this appeals to
you and you would like to share In this
please call telephone 393 at your
convenience. It is. understood of
course that this is in cooperation with

Letter In Bottle
Has a 1940 Echo
An acquaintance that began in 1936
when a note in a bottle tossed over
the rail of an Atlantic liner by Tom-. J
my An era in, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Anertim, of this city, was
picked up on the coast of Zeeland,
an island off the coast of Holland by
14-year old John J. Van Wigen, was
rosiimed a few days ago after being
interrupted by the Nazi Invasion of
Holland.
It was a post card showing a scene
in Middelburg, Holland; the picture
showing the devastation caused by
the German bombers. The card came
from John J. Van Wlngen and was addressed
to Tommy Ancrum. It was
probably one of the first of the kind
to reach America from the Nazi-held
Holland area.
Says Johnny to Tommy: "My Dear
Tommy: It is long ago that I wrote
something to you and the war has
changed many things in our country.
But I am glad that I live and that I
am in health and my family too. I
hope you are in health and I may
receive some news from you. I shall
soon write to you again. Your friend,
J. j. Von Wingeu."
Prior - to receiving this postal,
Tommy's last word from his friend in
Holland was a letter written just before
the second world war started
and in it, Johnny said he was entering
school and he hoped Holland
would not get into the war. The two
lads, one in the United States and
the other in Holland have exchanged
letters for years since 1936. The letters
of the lad in the war-torn nation
were full of interesting facts.
Needless to say, Tommy is writing
Johnny by return mall, and the boys
are looking forward to seeing each
other some time after the war ends.
History of Famous
Indian Weathervane
John W. Wilson, who grew up with
Camden, furnishes The Chronicle with
the following bifr of history in connection
with the weathervane atop the
city hall building.
"In the Chronicle of December 6,
under the heading 'Face Difting started
on Camden City Hall', in referring to
King Haiglar it was stated that he
indicated the direction of fleeting
South Carolina breezes for nearly a
century.
"The fact is he has performed that
service for 114 years. He began on
the Market steeple on the northwest
corner of Market and Bull streets. The
steeple was finished in 1825, and in
1826, he was raised to the summit.
There he presided until 1859, where he
was removed with the steeple uptown
on Broad street Just north of Rutldege
about where Bolk'e store Is now located.
and stood on this second perch
until January, 1886, when it tfas
removed to its present location."
German speedboats have sunk British
war vessels, including six destroyers
and two submarines, with a total
tonnage of 11,303 since the beginning
of the war, the German high command
said in a communique. In addition. It
said, the speedboats have destroyed
212,000 tons of merchant shipping.
I
Major Helmuth Wick, 25-year-oW
Gorman air ace, has boon .shot down
by British chaser pianos, according lo
a dispatch from Berlin. Wick u
credited with having shot down 56
British aircraft.
