Perhaps the forgotten man is the
Cne who forgot to advertise.
The scent of fertilizers mingles
Vith other harbingers of spring.
We see by the papers that the Tar
Heel State is being given credit for
another distinguished South Carolin
ian. An Associated Press photo of
Daniel C. Roper, secretary of com
merce in the Roosevelt cabinet, lists
North Carolina as his native State.
Not even Atlanta had the effrontery
to claim that he i s a Georgian.
Nobody’s Business
• By Gee McGee.
And Then I Went to W'orh.
After I got too big to go to
fcchoo! I landed a job as assistant
depot agent at a semitfag station in
a little town about the size of your
double fists. I had reached the 8th
grade in school and that was plenty
education for a hayseed like me, srr
that' s why I decided to slow down 6n
intellectual effort.
My teacher taught me lots <f
things in school, but 1 was so dumb I
didn’t learn much. I could spell fad-
ly well, read to some extent, do a lit
tle cyphering if you’d keep me out
of fractions, and was ju-t getting
ready for Latin when that 5-dollar-a-
month and hoard job showed up, and
] made a dive for it and got it.
My dutie^ were as follows: run
ning the depot, post office, weighing
cotton, trucking freight, meeting two
tiains every day, selling 2 or 3 tick
ets a week, picking cotton when rail-
yoad work got dull, helping to do
“turns’’ at the hou*e, and attending
prayer-meetings wherever one was
held within 10 or 15 mile< of our
place. We boys were strong for
prayer-meetings—where we’d usually
cut up too much.
The population of this station
was 23 till the Mitchells moved away,
and then it fell to 11. When that
family left, our school was almost
broke up. We had a 1-teacher school
with a house full cf Ixiys and girls. He
got $25 per month, that is, he was
promised that. It was stylish to whip
disobedient pupils back there.
Our town consisted of one store,
1 guano house, 1 church, 1 depot, 1
preac her, and 6 whitt!ers. We had the
champion whittler of the world * n
that town. YmTy^seen whittlers that
would whittle little things like tooth
picks, watch-charms^ walking sticks,
etc., but B b Botkins was not that
kind of a whittler. He whittled with
a vim. It took 2 or 3 good-sized
white pine dry goods boxes to keep
him in material for 1 hour.
\
Bob whittled like he was fighting
fire ail the time.. Some of hi s shav
ings were two feet in lengthu” I have
seen him practically buried ip his own
shavings many a-time. Once, his
pile of shavings caught on fire and he
almost got burnt to death before
he was pulled away. He whittled on
his way to town, and he whittled
while in town, and he whittled on the
•way back home. He alway s carried
several boards home with him so’s he
could whittle till he got back.
We had many other interesting
men there, none of whom ever worked.
Elbert Jones always kept his arm
broke or something. Sam Green had
somebody trying to get something
out of hi s eye all of the time. Bert
Keener told us Civil_War stories. We
checked up on him once: the war last
ed 24 years and he was in 497 differ
ent battles, but he never got a
scratch. Nothing ever happened in
this town while I was there 3 years
except the school house burnt down.
The Way Out.
deer mr. editor:
i want to go on record as being in
favor of congress taking over the
slot machines and run them for the
gaverment and that is the only way
sam will ever be able to bal-
nearly everybody with a fifcMe in
his pocket will play a slot machine
and 99 out of ever 100 of such player ff
believes that lie will win either the
first time he turns the crank or the
second time or the third time and cn
down till his last cent is gone.
the u. s. will get on her feet in 6
months if she will put a slot machine
on ever corner, it will be understood
befoar and after that every 9 seventy-
fifth nickel will win a dime, and that
is all the folks will expect.
mr. hoover’s 1928 flatform was “2
chickens in every garage and an au-
tomobeel sold on creddick ever 15
seconds,” and that’s what got install
ment buying so famous, but the dim-
mercrats s'ogan should W, “a slot
machine to fit ever man’s pocket-
book,”
each slot machine should give out
a picture of the farm board when
monney does not come forth, and it
should allso contain pictures of mr.
andy mellon, and mr. robt. insult of
greece in europe, and mr, kruger, and
other famous americans who-, have
hell the world together since the war.
therefore, our only hope for gov-
verment stability is slot-machines,
they will take in more money in 30
days than the income tax will take in
in 30 years, an 1 they will give out
les s money in 100 years than franco
and italy and bellgum will pay on their
war detts from now cn.
so, mr. pressident, get'otf the gold
standard and onto the slot machine
stanlaid, and just as soon a s you do
so, you will hafter enlarge the treas
ure building in Washington, d. of
course it is understood an d agreed
that the govverTnem will have control

PROGRESS WITH POULTRY.
KxampkH of Better Methods That
Bring Surer Success.
Bennettsville, March 16. — News
was received here late last night of
the death of W. T. Aycock, near
Union. Mr. Aycock wa s one of Ben-
nettsville’s most progressive mer
chants, operating a store heie and one
at Clio. He left Bennettsville Wed
nesday momintrto go to Union to Icolc
after matter** in Union County.
Mr. Aycock was well known through
the State. He came to Benne’lSVlll ’
fr m Barnwell and took an active part
in fraternal societies and in politics.
He was the Democratic committee
from this county.
Funeral service* will be conducted
Friday morning at 11 o’clock at Fos
ter’s Chapel in Union County. Many
from Bennettsville are preparing to
go to attend and arrangements have
been made for all of hi 9 employees to
he at the funeral.
Clemson College, March 11.—That
poultrymen who adeg’t progressive
ideas and methods are rewarded with
better success apd bigger profits may
he seen from instances from Aiken
Beaufort, Saluda and Oconee, typical
of hundreds of other instance* over
the State.
The value of properly housing and
feeding the farm poultiy flock was
well shown in the case of Dr. M. J. '
yua:teibaum, of Aiken, who had on
his faim ar und 100 hens, ordinary
mixed breed, say* Thomas W\ Mor
gan. Aiken County agent. Crowded
in a small drafty house and without
a balanced feed, these hens were lay
ing 5 to 10 eggs per day. A new
house was built of approved plans and
these hens put in the house and on a
home-mixed laying mash and corn.]
In a little over two weeks these same
hen s had stepped up to 60 to 70 eggs
per day. The laying mash was mixed
at home, ui-ing 20U pounds of yellow*
corn meal, 200 pounds of bran and
shorts, 100 pound* of fish meal, ami
five pounds of salt. - -Thisma«h- -A*
costing around $1.25 per hundred
pounds, and after a month on it, these
hens are laying 75 to 80 egg* per day.
Mrs. B. J. Verdier, cf Pritchard-
ville had been attempting each year
to raise baby chicks in/small coops,
warmed by kerosene lamps. This
winter she agreed with T. H. Sea-
brook, Beaufort County agent, that
>he- jusedetl--a-Jirick brooder, ami con
verted a small w.ioff house 10 by 10
feet into a brooder house, and from
material on the farm constructed a
brooder. Three stovepipe joints and
dampers for flues cost 65 cents. Mrs.
Verdier with this brooder has kept
the temperature uniform and lost on
ly three per cent of her chicks, last
year she lest over 50 .per cent.
Early broilers are beginning to
move in volume from Saluda, says
Claude Rotthell, county agent, and
the county will probably market 50,-
000 pounds during the season with
no unusual marketing difficulties since
the Saluda product is well established j
on nearby markets. j
Last month, five carloads of poul- J
try netted 1,233 Otonee farmers $7,-
164.85, 2Vss cents per pound more
than farmers could have obtained cn
local or nearby markets—assuming
that such markets could have absorb
ed this amount of poultry, which is
not likely. Therefore, through coop
erative marketing Oconee farmers re
ceived approximately $1,900 more
than they would have otherwise re
alized, G. H. Griffin, Oconee agent
points oat.
Resolution on the Death of Mrs.
Mamie M, Ellis.
N. Mrs. Mamie M- Ellis wa* ca'led by
’ tnf Angel of Death to her heavenly
home on the loth day of December,
1932. .She had for some time been in
declining hea«th, but her patient
Christian fortitude sustained her al
ways, even in the last few weeks of
almost unbearable suffering,
i In the death of Mr.'.. Ellis the
Woman’s Missionary Society ha* lost
one of its faithful and be! ved mem
bers.
Therefore, be it resolved:
1. The heaven’s gain is our loss.
2. That we submit to the will of
our Heavenly Father, who doeth all
thing* well.
3. That we express to her loved
one* our deepest sympathy ir^ this,
our mutual sorrow.
4. That we place on record this
expression of our love and apprecia
tion for this ' beloved member, and
that a copy of thi s tribute he, sent to
The family. ^ u —*■
