The work of raising the necessary
fund will be begun at once under, the
direction of Matthew S. Sloan, general
chairman. Mr. Sloan {s president of
the National Electric Light Associa-
tion and of the New York Edison
Company.
Among the prominent business men
apd industiral leaders who will be as$
sociated with him in the enterprise
are General W. W. Atterbury, presi
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and H. M. Aylesworth, president of
National Broadcasting Company, both
of whom have agreed to head special
committees.
Thus again is illustrated the hu-

of our great captains of industry,
who are willing to take time out from
their important duties to spepd their
energies and money for the benefit of

A Hot Controversy.
Of course, it’s none of our business
and all that, but we hate to see two*
good followers of the Fourth Estate
engage in a heated controversy be
cause one of the pen-pushers evident
ly misread a news item in a daily
paper. It all started when Dr. Dre-
her, fiery editor of The Calhoun
Times, commented caustically on an
article in The State anent the 1930
appropriation bill. This editorial was
sent anonymously to Governor Rich
ards, h«<a<l oX the Budget Commission,
which Dr. Rreher criticised for
“recommending” a five million dollar
increase in this year’s appropriations.
Walter Duncan, editor of the South
Carolina Gazette, replied to Dr. Dre-
her’s editorial in language that can
hardly be termed diplomatic, to say
the least, and last week’s issue of
The Times published Dr. Dreher’s re
fusal to swallow a syllable of what
he had said, saying that “If The
State lied on these people (the mem
bers of the Budget Commission), it is
* up to The State and not to The Cal
houn Times to recant and apologize.”
Frankly, we think that both parties
to the controversy are wrong—Dr.
Dreher in that he misread or mis
understood The State’s article, and
Walter Duncan in his unfortunate
choice of words in replying to The
,Times’ editorial.
Under date of November 15th, The
State said: ‘"When the general as
sembly meets in January, it will find
facing it an appropriation bill totaling
around $15,000,000—that is unless the
budget commission shaves very
sharply the requests which are being
made by state institutions and state
departments of government. . . .
. . . The budget commission it
self has given out no estimate as to
the total of the recommendations
which will be made to the general
assembly, but requests, it is believed,
will run around $15,000,000.”
, If we read the above patagraphs
correctly, The State intended to con
vey the meaning that requests total
ing $15,000,000 had been made to the
Budget Commission by State institu
tions and that the apropriation bill
woul,d reach that amount unless the
commission shaved very sharply such
requestp. The State said very clearly
that “the budget commission itself
has given out no estimate as to the
total of the RECOMMENDATIONS
which will be made to the general as
sembly, but REQUESTS, it is be
lieved, will run around $15J)00,000.”
(Capitals ours.)
With all due respect to our good
friend, Dr. Dreher, we would suggest
that he re-read The State’s article
Upon which he based his criticism of
Governor Richards and we feel quite
sure that he will admit his error, and
make due apology thereto. He is too
good a sport to do otherwise.

Several remarkable new records
and a number of scientific advances
marked the progress of aviation in
1929. Endurance flights with re
fueling in the air were among the
most spectacular performances of the
year, culminating in the record of the
“St. Louis Robin,” flying 420 hours
and 21 minutes, or more than 17 days
and nights before landing.
Willie Neunhofer, of Germany, set
the world’s altitude record at 42,123
feet. Mrs. Phoebe Omlie, of Memphis,
established an unofficial altitude rec
ord for momen of 25,400 feet. Miss
Elinor Smith set the world’s solo en
durance record for women by flying
26 hours and 20 minutes.
Capt. Orlebar, of England, set a
new speed record of 368 miles- an
hour.
A flight around the world by dirigi
ble was made for the first time, with
only three stops en route, by the
“Graf Zeppelin,” commanded by Capt.
Hugo Eckener, of Germany. A Ger
man seaplane, the “Do-X,” carried
169 passengers in a flight over Lake
Constance.
Successful test flights were made
by two British dirigibles, now the
largest in th^ world, but these will
be exceeded in size by an American
airship now under construction at
Akron, Ohio.

Farmer of Sumter
Diversifies Crops
Winner of Statewide Corn Growing
Contest Grows Variety of Crops
and Mak?s Money.
Sumter, Jan. 21.—J. Ryan White, of
Sumter County, who won the State
wide five-acre corn contest, sponsored
by Clemson College, has proved to his
own satisfaction, and also to his own
financial betterment, that diversified
farming pays—that is, if progressive
methods are use. He is a firm believer
in the adage that one should not put
all of his eggs in one basket.
Mr. White tried growing cotton as
his sole money crop and says he lost
very heavily at it. He has tried grow
ing five money crop s and has made
money at it. He has found that almost
each season he has lost on one or two
of the crops but he has made much
more than enough off the others to
offset the losses. This year, for ex
ample, he says he lost money on his
cotton and tobacco but made money
on his hay, corn and oats. Last year
he lost money on his cotton and com
but made money on his tobacco, oats
and hay.
“I found growing one money crop
too big a risk,” said Mr. White.
‘‘When things went wrong with it a
year’s work was lost. It is very, very
seldom the case that you will lose on
all five crops, I believe.”
In winning the Statewide five-acre
corn contest, Mr. White grew 594.75
bushels on his five acres, or an aver
age of 118.8 bushels per acre. He
made a net profit of $65.99 per acre,
or a tQtal profit of $329.95 on the five
acres . after deducting all costs. The
prize money of $300 brings his total
profit for the five acreg up to $629.95.
Mr. White says that many people
are already asking him how to grow
corn. He gives them the methods
which he followed on his five-acre plot
as his answer.
• “The things I find important in
making a big corn # crop,” aakl Mr.
White, “are preparing the land well
before planting, having 's soil that is
fillqd with organic matter to help it
hold moisture, use good see4, shallow
cultivation at the last working to pre
vent disturbing the feeding roots of
the plants as much as> possible and
liberal applications of quickly avail
able nitrogen to the plant by the time
it is knee high to waist high. ’
“I bedded out my land deep with a
tworhorse plow, broke the balk out
with a middle burster, subsoiled with
water furrow.and planted in a deep
water furrow. I plowed deep at first
in tearing down that middle and layed
by shallow with scrape, leaving corn
on a slight bed.
“I planted my com in five feet rows
and the average width in the drill was
around eight inches^ The- date of
planting was April 5 and the variety
was Douthita’ prolific.
“I applied 200 pounds of manure
salts at time of planting and broad
cast 10 loads of compost per acre.
When the corn was about knee high
I applied 350 pounds per acre of a
fertilizer analyzing 4 per cent phos
phorus, 14 p£r cent, ammounia and 1 ft
per cent, potash on one side of the
row and the next day applied the
same amount on the other side of the
row. When the com was about waist
high I side-dressed it with 160 pounds
of Chilean nitrate of soda per acre.”
Mr. White is a firm believer in us
ing good seed and says he never asks
the price when he buys them but is
careful to get the best seed available.
IN MEMORIAM
MRS. SALLIE BENNETT
On Saturday evening, December 28,
1929, about 4 o’clock, the Grim Reaper
visited the home of Mr. J. E. Bennett,
of Olar, and took away his dear, lov
ing wife, Mrs. Sallie Bennett, at the
ripe age of 82 years, 9 months and
4 days. *
She was confined to her bed for 10
weeks, helpless to herself, but v was
in usual good health according to age
up until her severe illness.
Her body was lid to rest in the
Olsr cemetery Sunday afternoon be
tween three and four o’clock. The
funeral services were conducted by
her pastor, Rev. Danner, of Orange
burg, in the presence of a large num
ber of friends and relatives. She was
a devoted church member from her
girlhood days until her death.
Before marriage 4he was the
youngest daughter of the late Stephen
and Elizabeth Wood. She was born
March 24th, 1847.^
She leaves to mourn her loss, her
husband, Mr. J. E. Bennett, of Olar;
four daughters, Mrs. Ada Cochran, of
Dunbarton; Mrs. B. H. Creech, of
Augusta, Ga.; Mrs. Minnie Cave, of
Olar, and Mrs. H. C. Sightler, of
Greenville; one son, Mr. J. P. Ben
nett, Sr., of Olar; 26 grand children,
8 great-grandchildren, and a number
of nieces and nephews, besides a host
of other relatives and friends.
The pall bearers were her grand
sons, B. B. Cave and Murice Cave, of
Olar, J.* P. Bennett, Jr., of Olar, Pres
ton and Cecil Creech, of Augusta, Ga.,
and Harold Sightler, of Greenville.
The entire family and all the friends
of the surrounding community, did
all that loving hands could do for
the sick body.
Aunt Sallie is gone, but not for-
gotten, never will her memory fade;^ )
loving thoughts will always linger
around the grave where she is laid.
The glory gates were opened wide,
inviting many souls to come. The
glory gates were opened wide, to wel
come Dear Aunt Sallie home.
Not now, but in the coming years,
it may be in a better land, we’ll read
the meaning of our tears and then
of course we’ll understand.
Dearest Aunt Sallie—how we love
you its impossible for us to say,—but
the Lord God giveth and he also-
taketh away.
Her last resting place was covered
with a mass of beautiful flowers.
Bless her name.
A Great Niece,
Daisy Hair.
