Someone told us the cotton platform
problem has finally been solved. The
Rums platform, whereon is located
the truck line headquarters of Patrick
Orr, Is to be used. Pat will, it Is said,
retain a part of tho platform for a
storage area while the remainder will
be used by tho cotton weigher.
By the way?what about the cotton
situation? We received a note the
I other day to the effect that prospects
[for a successful crop were better this
year than In the past three years.
Then we met two cotton experts on
the street and when we asked them,
they grimaced and grunted "lousy."
From what wo could gather, the
whole situation Is based upon just
how successful the Invasion. > of the

North America is outproducing the

a Kershaw county farmer who took
a terribly rundown, soli fertility depleted,
weed-chocked farm In hand
and made It bloom like an agricultural
Garden of Eden. He was so proud
of the result he Invited his preacher
to a special dinner of celebration.
After a grand meal the two walked
ever the place and the farmer pointed
out his flourishing crops, his cattle
and hogs and chickens and mules and
the general success and prosperity of
the place.
"Yes, my friend," said the preacher
at last, "you and the Lord certainly
have done a good job, a fine jobl"
"Sure have," said our farmer friend
proudly. "And, say, you'd oughter
seen the place when the Lord was
running It alone."

announced by the Citizens National
committee, a research organisation,
which show that the number of federal

number the State employees 59,000 to
37,000.
Or in cash figures, the federal employees
receive $9,659,000 Md the
state employees $2,971,000. South
Carolina in this particular represents
but one unit of this so-called national

Sadio K. VonTreackow 1
Mrs. Reuben Pitts, chairman of the 1
Rod Cross Canteen corps, wishes to
bring the following to the attention of '
those who are Interested In the can- 1
ulng project: There will he a charge
of three ceuts a quart of the finished ,
product instead of 1-6 of the product
being retained by the Red Cross for
expenses This has been found best
as the cannera prefer to retain all ,
the fruits of their labors.
It has been found Impossible to can |
more than the surplus products from ,
Victory gardens on account of lack ,
of space and the number of pressure ,
cookers available. If anyone has a
pressure cooker she could leud, even
for a day, please notify Mrs. Reuben
Pitts, phone 300. Vegetables must '
be cleaned and prepared and con- .
(aliters provided. Patrons uro asked
to bring seven quarts of each vegetable
or they may have to wait u short
time until thtvt amount has been
brought in. *

bonds to the amount of $9,000,000 each
month just to pay the salaries of the

Actually folks, It's worse than insanity,
worse than nutty?It Is Just
plain tragedy. It's a cancreous condition
which should bo remedied.
EWar Bonds should mean
something more to you than
Just "a good sound Investment."

BUNDLES for BERLIN
It's tough luck for Adolf Hitler that he never
heard of America's legendary Paul Butty an ......
because Paul represents the characteristic capacity
of the American people to think and act in terms of
big production. Legend says Paul "could log 40 '
acres in one afternoon, and mill the logs into lumber
the following morning." ...... Today, "Paul
Bunyan" (the forest product# industries) is turning
out the enormous Volume of wood materials which
Uncle Sam requires far war wdod fod rifle
stocks, wood for barracks, for ships, airplanes,
defense housing, and a thousand other uses ...... !
Even many of the tons of explosives which have
been rained upon the Nazis have been made of wood
cellulose from the American forests ...... "Bundles
for Berlin ...... from Bunyan." That's why* j
right here in our own local community, the management
and employees of the undersigned- company*
are helping Paul Bunyan in his war-time job I
producing materials which are vital to victory. (*)'
