These omployoH, In othur worda, would count it tilo a aort of prlvato polico force and would spend their time and 1 ho taxpayers' money looking for violation* of the price-freezing order. The National aHttoclation of K"tail (irocora, an organization which rep. resents thouHundH of Indopondont food merchants throughout tho country, promptly protested. In a resolution submitted to congress It said: "It is Implied In this proposal to turn loose an army of 'snoopers' on the retail merchants of the United States. These men and women proposed for OPA enforcement personnel can render more useful service in tho prosecution of the war against the Axis powers, rather than us an army of harassment operating at public expense on the home front." That protest Is well taken. As OPA officials themselves have pointed out, the retail industry In all Mm branches has been overwhelmingly opposed to speculation and profiteering. No Industry has given more complete cooperation to the government In tho campaign against inflation. To Inflict this Industry with 100,000 "secret po lice." would amount to deliberately harassing an industry which has a superb record of operation In the public Interest. Tho vast majority of merchants, big und Mule, will confirm completely to the price regulations. Coinpo tit Ion ulone will keep prlcoq In line. Consumer* and consumer organizations will be on the lookout for violations, and will report them to the (authorities. The OPA, of course, will need an enforcement staff?'but It doesn't need a staff of 100,000 snoop- j ers. It doesn't need a secret police force. The 100,000 people who would be employed for this uuuopur work uru! needed In war Industry and the mill-j tary forcos. The hundreds of millions of dollars It would cost to puy their salaries and expenses are needed for war production. ENROLL NOW ^ It Is never too early to enroll to vole. The books ure now open for tho listing of those eligible to cast ballots In the Democratic prlmailes, which are not so far off as they might seem. South Carolina Is to name a United States senator, a full ticket of state officials Including a governor und a lieutenant governor, six congressmen, 29 senators, a complete house of representatives, and numerous county and township officers. So there will be plenty of popple to vote for, but you can't vote unless you are enrolled. TJio books uru open. Why not enroll now and get the duty off your mind??The State. July Livestock Notes By Clemson | In midsummer livestock need careful attention, says Clemson College, | making these timely suggestions forj July: Animal Husbandry ? Keep hogs i grazing on green forage. Arrange to turn hogs on corn when It Is In the glazed Htage. Reserve some perman- j lent pasture to be grazed by beef entitle In tho late fall and early winter. Creep-feed the beef calves, using threshed oats and other homo-raised grains. Feed tho work stock threo times a day. Change pastures for livestock If possible. I'rovido shade and fresh water for all classes of livestock. Observe the livestock for screwworm infestation and givo treatment, If necessary. Dairying?Mow pastures frequently. Destroy breeding places for files, and use Hkimmllk-formaldehyde poison (J gallons of sklmmllk, 1 pint of 40 per cent formalin, 1 pint of molasses) In shallow puna to kill flies. As milk production falls off. supplement pasture with hay or silage and balanced grain mixture. Feed up to two pounds or grain daily to growing stock to maintain normal growth. Keep milk or cream sold for manufacturing purposes In barrel or tub of cold well or spring water. (Jet Extension Circular 1 f>7. The Family Dairy Cow, for use In production of homo milk supply. Poultry?Keep mash before laying hens; It helps to keep their bodies cool and stimulates egg production. Reduce feed cost by culling non-layers and not by reducing feed. Keep a grain feed before the pullets and don't start feeding a laying mash until the birds are at least five months old. If troubled with roup or chicken pox In past years, vaccinate pullets when two to four months old. Mechanics Giving Millers Close Race Camden Softball League Won 1,0 ?t Pet.

Morrison, based on passages In ilie book of Samuel. Mrs. John O. Richards presided at the organ and with E. L. Jones and Misses Sophie Richards, Lucy Clements and Willie Lee Higglns In the choir and a number of good voices In the congregation. the musical features of the service was very pleasing. A number of Sunday school boys and girls left on Tuesday to attend the annual vacation camp of Presbyterian young people at Piedmont Springs. They were accompanied on the trip by Miss Righton Richards, popular school teacher and experienced camp worker, who returned home later.

A large crhwd was In attendance and good order prevailed. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Herlot and daughters, of Blshopvllle, spent the week end with relatives here. We read with much interest the Informative article of Congressman J. P. Richards in The Chronicle of last week. And also the very Interesting write-up of his recent trip as delegate to the International convention of Klwanls clubs at Cleveland, Ohio, by Prof. H. A. Small, who gave facts aud figures about this popular organization and Incidents concerning the meeting and members attending, making a very readable article on a subject very little known to the public generally. The Chronicle also had several other things of special interest In its columns of last week. Misses Righton Richards, Edith Richards and Margaret Richards attended the wedding of their cousin, Marlon McCollum and Miss Lois McConnell, of Charlotte.* They were accompanied by Miss Mary Cunningham, who was a classmate of Miss McConnell at Wlnthrop.

Both Deanslaw and Similar took part in the_ 1942 Carolina Cup program. These horses were trained by Jim Ryan, famous for being outstanding for the trailing of jumpers In America.
