The editor of The People-Sentinel
enjoyed on Thursday of last week a
visit to the Experiment Station near
Columbia. Invitations were extended
by Mr. A. B. Bryan, of Clemson Col
lege, to the editors of the State to
pay the atation a visit of inspection
an<j learn something of what i» being
done along agricultural lines, and it
i, to be regretted that so few of them
availed themselves of this opportuni
ty. Those who attended were shown
something of the work that is being
done in toil-building, correct methods
of fertilisation, etc., and it will pay
progressive farmer, to visit the
station a>vj get thi, information at
first hand
We ire indebted to Mr. Bryan. Pr >f.
Harre and others for an enjoyable
and instinctive day. as well a< for
the delightftil lunch that was served
to the visitors at the new recreation
center
I
No man can see what event, will
transpire during the next few months,
but it, ia a self-evident fact that the
farming claaeea have grown sick and
weary of continually having to accept
price, for their products that do not
enable them to attain some sefehlance
of the standard of living enjoyed by
those in more favored lines of en
deavor and it may be that the action
taken in Marlboro last week ia the
spark that will ignite the am«|dder,
ing Ares of revolt, having the same
significance in history a, “the shot
that was heard around the world’
that ( onfederate forces fired at Fort
Sumter 72 years ago.

History In the Making.
National events are shaping them
•elves with such starting rapidity
that we are constantly being present
ed with a changing picture that would
rtval the kaleidoscope. Hardly is a
suggestion made before it is put into
operath n
Last week, The People-Sentinel edi
torially suggested a “cotton holiday
and before the ink was more than dry
Governor Blackwood, acting on the
recommend alien of a group of Marl
boro County farmers and business
men, called a Statewide meeting to
be held in Columbia on Tuesday of
this week. The resolution presented
to the South Carolina chief executive
by the delegates from Marlboro did
not mince word, and called attention
to some cruel facta that are operating
against the cotton farmers of the
South.
For instance, it was stated that
“while cotton seed had sold for from
$27.60 to $30 a ton three weeks ago,
todty they were selling for $12 a ton,
and that the price of cotton wa, the
lame that it was last year though
the things farmers had to buy had
advanced about 100 per cent.”
Section 1 one the resolution is
couched in terms that forecast a pos
sible revolt of the farmers. It says:
•“That we mean to protect our homes
and our families in an orderly way
if possible, but if necessary by such
means as will bring to the attention
of President Roosevelt and the entire
country that we are in dire need, dis
tress and will not sit down further
and become the victims of profiteering
i>y other industries.”
Governor Blackwood, in his procla-
-mation calling Tuesday’s meeting,
gaid what this writer has been saying
for some time—that “the plight of the
-cotton farmer and those dependent
upon him and associated with him
srill be much worse than it was at the
end of 1932.”
Also, in last week’s issue, under
the caption “Whither Are We Drift-
Ing,” we called attention to what is
happening in Germany and Russia
and the critical period through which
this country >g now passing. Two
day, later, Roger W. Babson, nation
ally known statistician, predicted a
dictatorship” for the United
aa a result of the present fight
a redistribution of wealth.

well, mr. editor, you will no
doubt be surprised to learn that yore
corry spondent, mr. mike Clark, rfd,
is in line to get a govverment job

Ash-hatchery which is planned under
the n.r.a. and r.f.c. for our state,
congress is pulling for him.
miss jennie veeve smith, our
schotl principle, has returned back
home from the “centry of progress”

he ia fairly well satisfied to feast on

sweeter the food. He only eats the

which crumble, and lets us tumble

them with.

The Mity Termite.
Meet our old friend in a new
role, Mr. Termite. Until he learned
better a few years ago, he made his
h6me in the woods, his diet consisted
of stumps, decaying logs, bark and
fallen trees—but he frowns upon such
food now.
Mr. Termite, evidently by acci
dent, learned that there was better
and more wholesome foods than those
found in the pastures and forests, and
If you will destroy all of the
termites now in your residence, down
to the last egg, you can rest easy
for nearly three weeks; in fact, it is
possible for you not to h^ve any more
termites for a month ar^i then you
repeat the dose. They send a new
drove out into the world every spring.
They are equipped with wing, for
leaving home. Ain’t nature kind?
But they become ahts of destruction
as soon as they land at a fi ne * mort
gaged, brick, veneer, or concrete
residence and then they begin to
undermine it. I think I can sell my
house for nearly enough cash to kill
at least two-thirds of the termites
now engaged in taking it over.
