Entered at the Post Office at Mc Cormick. S. C., as mail matter of the second clais. fact, it is not only a privilege and a light but :t is a duty. Those who shirk thi s duty arc not performing their part in the administration of the country. A soldier who goes to sleep at his post in the time of war often loses his own life as well as endangers the lives of his comrades. Likewise, a citizen who neglects the duties and responsibilities of citizen ship, who goes to sleep at the pest or thoughtlessly neglects his obligations to the government, not only suffers by foregoing his own rights but is, in a manner, a detriment to that government. i Not only should every citizen vote but he should also prepare himself to vote intelligently.

Their lives are paved with feood intentions never earned out. They are always intending to dc something that never gets done. Instead of taking a just pride in acc ^mpMshment, they are continual ly hum liated by the inadequacy their excuses. They dc rot even drift with the tide of humanity., but unresistingly are switched into the eddies of life. .For them there is a beginning and an end, but nothing in between. They have re'ther true friends nor bitter enemies, because they do noth ing to inspire either friendship nor enmity. They are nameless because no one takes the trouble to name them.

FOR SOLICITOR Seven Men Now Mentioned As Candidates To Succeed Governor Richards While we are English speaking people, it does not seem possible that therfe is in existence in th s w'orld 175 or moie languages in use among the! peoples who have native tongues. While this number is exceptionally Ihrge, it is interesting to ncte that the Bible is the most w dely circul ated fcook of all the languages, and is printed in 169 different languages. The Bible continues to be the world s greatest seller when it comes to books. This announcement has jus* been made by the American Bible Society, whose report states that more than ten million copies were pr nted last year, and which establishes a new record for any single year. In all there were more than ten million copies published by the so- cie'y in the vart number of 169 languages and dialects, reaching into sections most remote from our own ■ locality. The latest language in which the Bible has been ed ted, is that of the Luba Lulua language, spoken by two and a half million natives of the Bantu race in the Belgian Congo. So it ■' s down the list, where the book has been printed into tongues, for people living in ectm- j f or trien, many of w r hom ar most of us. X Political announcements are often made during state democrat’c con ventions. The political bee seems to thrive during such gatherings, as during legislative sessions; in fact the bee is ofte n bom during such events. One anneurfoment made at the re cent convent’on was that of Carroll D. Nance of Lauiens County, that he will likely be a candidate for gov ernor again in 1930. Mr. Nance ran for governor two years ago and made a good race, in the same running that resulted in the election of Governor Richards. Mr. Nance was chairman of the wnays and means committee of the house in the 1926-27 session. He was a house member from 1921 through 1926. Mr. Nance :s a planter at Cross Hill. Mr. Narce’s announcement brings the number of possibilities for gov ernor up to seven and there may be ft hers yet. Lieutenant GSoVdrnor T. B. But- let of Gaffney has indicated that he will be a candidate. Solicitor J. Lyles Glenn of Chester has also inf- mated that he will run. Solicitor Ira Blackwood of Spartanburg has also indicated that he will offer again. He. too, was a candidate in 1926. And in addition to these, who are regarded as certaint’es in the field of candidates, there are several w'ho have been mentiond but who have made no announcements. A. F. Lever, of Columbia, former member of congress, has been men tioned, as has Attorney General John M. Daniel. And there has been gos sip in political circles to the effect Bordeaux mixture to prevent dis ease. Get some resistant crops into the rotation on soil infested with root knot. Keep the grape vines covered with Bordeaux to prevent blackrot. Spray peaches with lime-sulphur or dry-mix sulphur-lime to control j brown rot. I Watch tobacco fields for black- fire and wild-firo. Be careful in suc coring not to transmit these from one plant to another. Keep the garden clean by de stroying dead plants, which are the worst disease r h^rboriug places. Send specimens of all new or •strange plant diseases or weeds to the Botany Division for examination. Entomology If boll weevils appear numerous when squares are forming, apply poison—either dust or liqu : d—and repeat if needed. Control potato beetles w r ith poison spray or dust, cabbage worms with poison dust, and terrap:' n bugs on cabbage by hand picking. Include poison in the lace peach sprays to con’roi the curculio. Apply poison spray to control cod ling moth ch apples and to prevent caterpillar damage to foliage or fruit. Plant a catch-crop of early squash among the cantaloupes to help con trol worms, and destroy the infested squash. Animal Husbandry Provide plenty of green grazing for hogs, preferably soybeans or al falfa. See that hogs have shade and fresh water. Push all pigs weighing as much as 75 pounds for September market. Wean lambs about middle of June. Milk ewes if udders become large after weaning lambs. Cull the ewe flock. Treat sheep for worms every 30 days. See that cattle have shade, fresh water, and salt. Dairying See that cows get enough to eat. Insufficient feed is the chief cause FOR SUPERVISOR I hereby announce my candidacy for re-election as Supervisor of Mc Cormick County, subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic primary.
