GREAT LOSS TO COMMUNITY
This community was deeply shocked Tuesday
morning to hear of the passing of J. Team Gettys, out
standing citizenr and civic leader.
Foremost in affairs germane to the welfare of
Camden and Kershaw county Team Getys held the re
spect, admiration and affection of all who knew him.
Up to the .time of his illness some months ago he was
county attorney over 10 years filling the office with
ability and honor. He also served as a representative
from Kershaw county. The sympathy of a sorrowinjjp
community goes out to the surviving members of the
family.
A FARMER’S CHANCE
(An Editorial, The Greenville Piedmont, Oct. 24, 1947)
As the postwar period moves on across the
months toward a time which some day it must reach
when there will not be the terrific demand for basic
and consumer goods the United States has exper
ienced up to now, what then for the ordinary farmer?
If unorganized, if unrepresented, if uninformed he
may face serious consequences. That is the view of
those who would now proifiote the banding together
of those who look to the soil fr a livelihood and subse
quent planning against the time when the way to farm
profit will not be so easy to travel.
Less than half of the six million families who live
on the farm in America are organized in any way.
That means they do not have any personal part in
what goes on in behalf of the Agricultural industry of
the nation and often have little knowledge of what
others in their category are doing.
Pressure groups have plenty to do with how do
mestic issues are regulated and handled these days.
We don’t like them always, we do not believe all their
tactics are fair but under qur form of government we
cannot be without them.
The estate of the average farmer has risen con
siderably in recent years, due in a large measure to
the unusual world situation. Many of the gains made
by him are rightful and should be preserved.but they
may not be if he doesn’t raise his hand to fight for
, their continuance.
He cannot stand alone and''aloof and be safe
w'hen economic cross currents begin to move and
others, ready and strong, begin to navigate them to
their own advantage.
A farmer can live at home after a fashion but if
he wants cash'‘he must reckon with the'rest of the
world. He cannot sell to himself and win.
AGAINST ALL OF THEM
There are some people in almost every com
munity who are against all prograss. They fought elec
tric lights, waterworks, street paving and hard surface
roads, in fact, they have been against anything new.
They are like the old New Englander who had
reached the age of 100 and was being interviewed.
“I suppose” said the reporter, “that you have
seen a lot of changes jn your time.”
“Yes,” replied the centenarian, “and I have been
again every one of them.”—^Lancaster News.

..FERTILIZER SMALL GRAIN
Clemson college Is recommending
that people fertilize their small
grain at the time of planting, uo-
Ing from 3 to 6 hundred pounds of
.3-12-6, 4-12-4 or any complete ferti
lizer. This will pay even though
we hare nitrate of soda to top
dress next spring. The indications
are now that nitrate of soda will
be scarce next spring and the peo
ple who did not get nitrate of soda
last year made jome good grain
where they used a complete fertili
zer at^he time of planting.
