McLEOD, | Sheriff for Kershaw County, 3L36sb South Carolina COMMENTS ON MSN AND THINGS J (By Spectator) * The Governor by proclamation urge# the people of the State to buy South Carolina products. I hope the interest of the Governor, and the press notices and radio reminders will have a follow-up in substantial advertising telb In* what South t*troima products are on the market and where they may bo had. 1 read recently an advertise-' ment of au eating place in our Stuto and It offored "Georgia eggs". Some duy? later the' advert^iement was changed to "Carolina eggs". South "Carolina produces fine sweet potatoes, good, hay, excellent corn. Shall we continue to go beyond our bounds for things we produce? We have canned and preserved vegetables and fruits. Since Commissioner of Agriculture Hoy Jones is among the sponsors of the ''Buy South Carolina Products" campaign, 1 have no doubt that he has complete plans for furthering this^ effort In the most businesslike and practical manner. As is known, we produce excellent peaches, asparagus, watermelons, Irish potatoes, truck of all kinds. I recall an observation made by Tom Pearoe several years ago, In talking over this very matter. Mr. Pearce said "At lunch today In a certain hotel we were served canned peaches for dessert, although at the time there were hundreds of bushels of fine fresh peaches on the mhrket". As a producer of things for market I know that we have products whit h are of such quality as to be desirable. We need markets. What better market than our own people? Commissioner Jones has been working on a plan to promote the sale of ungraded, unclassified products which are of value and marketable as a means of helping the average farmer with a surplus. As for the other products, men of practical mind who arej In touch with all such possibilities, | such merchants as Tom Pearoe, might | be invited to guide our efforts intoi safe channels of business. I have no doubt that we should allj | be greatly surprised at the variety of South Carolina Products. Many read with surprise that a n\er-| chant of Columbia bought all the apples on exhibition at the State Fair, j We produce apples, though it seems that most people don't know it. Over in Lexington County I see signs of_ Tresh apple juice, called cider. There must be some apples over there. Lot's get acquainted with our State and its produc l5. r When we find a South Carolina product we shall have to pay a fair price for it. The days of bargain hunting at the expense of the farmers is about over. Thousands of farmers listen to radio market reports; and then comes Roy Jones' Market Bulletin. You can go to Hell Hole in Berkeley, or Four Holes in Orangeburg, the remote settlements of the Santee, Pea Ridge in Union, Little Hell in Allendale, Silver Street, Prosperity, Golden Grove or Travellers' Rest and when you try to buy eggs, chickens, turkeys, or what-not at a bargain, the farmer will tell his wife or daughter to bring out the Market Bulletin. I mention this because any one who thinks he can run over to some out-of-the-way community and pick up eggs and chickens for a song will find that since the radio came into being, along with Roy Jones' Market Bulletin, It takes a song and a dance to get things. A prominent citizen of the State has 1 suggested that a thousand representative citizens' come to Columbia to renew and emphasize by their presence the appeal made to the Budget Commission to avoid a deficit by reducing appropriations, as the law provides. The appeals sent by Organized Business, Incorporated, and The Farmers and Taxpayers League were sponsored by leading citizens throughout the State. Undoubtedly they will be heard from again. Christmas is in the air! In this country and England Christmas is the children's festival because of the Babe i of Bethlehem. We older people have become victims of a good idea. As God so loved the world that He gave His only son, so the idea of giving, or of serving others, is the dominant note of the Christmas season. The idda is right and proper, but we are straining it until it is losing much of "its Joyful appeal. 1 We shall send thousands of cards in a meaning-less effort; and handker chiefs and other things as a matter of form. Most of us would rather give a dollar than write a real letter. Might we not make up a purse for the-British children, each of us contributing the one dollar, five dollars or ten dollars usually spent on purely perfunctory presents? We are not giving in the real spirit of (Christmas; most of what we do amounts to an exchange with friends or relatives. To carry cheer to those in trouble would be in accord with the spirit of Bethlehem. Those with children at home must not forget the little fellows, for it is their day; but most of the giving which is a trial and a struggle over nothing?why not quit that and brighten lives which are now in gloom? I had thought that our Welfare Department was created to relieve Immediate distress. All cases of immediate distress are usually khown by the neighbors. But why should there be a Welfare Week under proclamation of the Governors? and why should there be meetings throughout the State for the Welfare Department? Has this Department changed from one charged with fading the hungry and clothing the naked, to one with such political Importance that it must hold meetings throughout the State? If thib Welfare Department is of such Iktle value that it must advertise itself and put on "arousements" doetf it not indicate that it is a fifth wheel to a wagon? Does not this high-pressure, advertising and agitation proclaim and prove that this is one service which a poor State cannot afford to maintain? That million and half dollars is just so nructi which ought to be used for debts. Whoever imagined arousement meetings in order to drum np support for a State Department of charity? By watching the steps of other couples whose hearing Is normal, deaf people can dance in time to music. "Build-Up" Good Newt For Suffering Women Much of "women's periodic distress may be unnecessary! Many who suffer from headaches, nervousness, cramp-like pain, other symptoms of functional dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition are helped by CARDUL Main way it helps relieve periodic distress is by increasing appetite/" and flow of gastric juice. Thus-tt often aids digestion; helps build strength, energy, resistance to periodic disturbances.

Mr. Bush lost a wager to J. F. Collins when Ole Miss bowed to Miss. State Saturday. The peanut was supplied by Sidney Rogers and a committee accompanied Mr. Bush on his pajnful journey and thoughtfully kept papers strung in front of him. There were no4nRmlties for excessive time out since"rMr. Bush had no eu4>gtHutee. Time: it minutes. Check Accidents Off Your Christmas List!| The Motor Vehicle Division of the State Highway Department la making that appeal to driver# and pedestrians throughout the State In an effort ?t> cut down the heavy December traffic toll. Last year the month of December with seventy-six (7.6) traffic deaths In South Carolina proved the worst month of the year. Certainly there la no better way of i expressing the Christmas spirit than by sparing others the grluf of a traffic accident and everyone la urged to Join In this campaign to keep the tragedy j of a motoring accident from spoiling Christmas happiness. l^ist year 3.540 persons wer? killed in December traffic In the United States ami all this year highway deaths have be on running ahead of last year. This moans that the nation will pile up one of Its biggest holiday traffic tolls unless drivers carry the proper Christmas spirit on the highways and pedestrians do their part by extra caro in walking. | Kaoh year the Christmas spirit la I converted by the excitement and rush | of the holiday aeaaofl into suffering J and sorrow through wholesale slaughter on the streets and highways. This final mouth of the year holds double danger for both motorist and person ou foot because of bad weather *?nd more bourse of darkness with poorer visibility and the Christmas holiday rush. ' To overcome these extra travel dangers every driver Is urged to balance these added lumen of darkness and bad weather witn loss speed and more caution. Kvery motorist Is urged to start earlier, leave sooner and t travel slower with constant watchfulness for the pedestrian wearing dark winter clothing. Car condition is highly Important with special attention to brakes, lights and windshield wipers. Many persons feel that the spirit of the holiday season is an excuse for rcekless and even drunken driving, but they should remember that death on our streets and highways Is at it's peak right now and leniency or tolerance for the drinking man behind the wheel holds no place In any campaign to reduce automobile tragedies. Pedestrians are urged to use extra care In crossing streets and walking highways and reminded that danger from automobiles la Increased when darkness or slippery pavements prevail. Pedestrians should be especially careful when carrying large armloads of bundles and hold in mind that the hurrying driver can't stop as quickly as the person on foot. Appeal Is made to the parents to urge sons and daughters not to ride with drinking drivers.... and to set a good example for their children In j this respect. Law enforcement officials must resist the natural inclination to be lenient toward offenders because of, the Christmas spirit and the Highway Patrol appeals to all persons to support traffic officers In rigid enforcement of the law during the holiday | season. The best form of support Is; personal and Individual observance of' those traffic rules and regulations! which are designed to protect the safety of all. Warning Is given 1 to all to guard j against the hustle and bustle of this 1 holiday season which breeds lnvj patience and carelessness in driving | and walking. An appeal Is made to all to take it ( easy and help make this Christmas a time of happiness Instead of sorrow, j President Roosevelt has appointed j Rear Admiral William D. Leahy, re-j tired, now governor of Puerto Rico; and former chief of naval operations, ambassador to Prance to succeed William C. Bullitt. w Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Geo McGee, Copyright, 1928. PICTURE OF A WOMAN IN A 3TORE TRYING TO BUY A WEDDING PRESENT MRS. SMITH (thinking; to horaelf): 'Well, 1 wish i know what to buy. Ah h mat tor of fact, the Joneses never glvo ua nothing when 1 ami Jo? got married- That llitUvcup looks O. K. but possibly 1 shouhl put over * t .48 in a present. If 1 wore to give that to Sallie Sue ami it would turn block a year frotu now, the public wo\tld never hear the last of It front hot mother. 1 had better pick out some* thing a little nicer." CLBRK; "What can I do for you.^ Mrs. Smith?" Mrs. SMITH-??"I don't know yet. I am Just looking around. You know that Jones girl is getting married next week and 1 hop? to find a suitable present for her, but everything looks mighty high to me. You know, Mr. Jewel, the Joneses are powerful haul to please. 1 hope Sallie Sue knows what she's doing. /When she turned down Bort Aklns, she made the mistake of her life." Clerk: "How much do you expect to put In a present, Mib. Smith? ' MRS. SMITH: "I really don't know. If I 8?t something cheap, I will die of remorse, and if 1 pay very much for it, my husband will die of a running fit. That little goblet there looks like it might do, but 1 wouldn't give you >5 for a dozen of them, much less for only one. I thiuk the Browns are giving goblets anyhow. I wish I had brought Gertie along to help me. You know Gertie, don't you? She's bo sensible." MRS. SMITH: "Mj, Jewel, you just go ahead and wait on the other customers. I will Just browse around. (After 10 minutes looking). This will make the 75th present I and Joe have given in the past two or three years: (This Is, of course, being said to herself) : we counted them up last night. Joe says If this wedding and funeral and graduating stufT keeps up, we'll be paupers before long. Who started this wedding present business nohow? (Aftor 2 hours have come and gone, Mrs. Smith oozes out of the store, and goes home and flxos up the little table cover she made for herself last Fall, and packs it and sends it to Sallie Sue.) MU8ING8 OF A MAN DRIVING A CAR ALONE (Talking to Himself) ?"Look at that fool twisting in and out of trafTtc: he's straddling the trafTic line now. I wish I had a shot gun. Ouch! That pug almost busted my fender. Wonder what that woman is going to do now: she's holding out her hand and pointing straight up. Gosh, she turned to the left on red. Wonder everybody doesn't get killed. I've never seen such drivers." ?"Toot, toot, toot; Move on, man: don't you see the light is green? Does it take you all day to start? Why In | the Tom Hill don't you keep your motor turning and your foot on the accelerator bo's you can start when the light changes? Look at him, he's choked down. Will folks never learn to drive a car? There's another woman making a bee-line for me. Wonder if she's crazy. Well, she turned to the right in time to save my life." ?"There's a place to park. Now what do you think of that? That lowdown, half-wit ! 1! <g)& -(') zizzxxx! !fl shot in ahead of me and took the space that he knew I was driving into. Why isn't there a law against idiots and imbeciles driving a car? I ought to get out of my car and give that??? xxxiz***@@>(0)flfl&&!! a punch on the uose. Where's ail ok the policemen? Don't they ever work any? I wish now that I had walked down town." ?-"Oee Whlsf Another dam/fe right In the middle of the street, waving at a friend (if she has one) and paying no earthly attention to me or anybody else. I'd hate to have a woman like that for a wife: she's absolutely inconsiderate of everybody. Look at the witch passing that other car on the wrong side. Nope, she's stopped. I thought she would run the red light. These old worn-out cars ought to be kept off the roads and streets: how they manage to poke along at that slow pace Is more than I can tell. Well, I'll park here and- walk into town: It alnt but about 8 blocks." ?Gee McGee. DR. NORWOOD DIE8 AT McBEE Mclloe.
