\ Thursday, July 26, 1928 McCORMICK MESSENGER. McCORMICK. South Carolina Page Number Sere* Frost Raps Richards In No Uncertain Terms In Speech (Abtoville Press And Bannsr.) After paying his respects *o the patriotism ard sentiment of old Abbeville, the years past, the speak er expnrssed heartfelt appreciation of the courtesies so far extended in Abbeville, and laid particular stress on two words, Sent’ment and Pat riotism, which has always abounded in Abbeville County and lemarked that any State or Nation that so far forgot itself through the influence of sordid selfishness to leave out sentiment and patriotism in the fu ture will be wricked upon the rocks of commercialism and while there is a goodly attendance of the Spanish- American W^ar Veterans at old Ab beville today, we cannot but feel that had the small recognition ask ed for by the- last session of the Legislature- been granted, several hundred more of those who volun teered their all on their Country’s altar, would have been here who were detained by f’nancial reasons. When we consider that the Span ish-American War Veterans is the only organization whose entire per sonnel were volunteers, not only in the United States but in the World, * we rather feel proud of bring a mem ber of this organizafon, and it was up to the Governor of South Car olina, who turned down by veto, the pittance of recognition of $1,000 to make theeo reunions pleasant and profitable to the members of this organization. In the language of Shakespeare, I would rather be a tcad and live upon the vapors of hell than to have held the pen which signed the veto of tb’s damnable pittance, and I trust in the Provi dence of God. that South Carolina will nevni* again be persuaded to- have a man as chief executive, whose mentality is so warped and narrow and pitifully small as to v:to thr; recogn'tlon of those who voluntarily served th'dr cou. try. ‘Tis true that both committees, the Ways ard Means nnd the Fin- nance Committee approved this rec ognition and it was only loft to him, who in this particular instanc"' who reflected an everlast rg dis grace upon the sentiment and patrio tism cf 100 pc r cent members of the Spanish-Amv'ifcan War Veterans. When we reflect and consider that after turning down this slight rec- ognition of $1,000.00 fo;* the annua reunion of ourselves, which we hop ed to distr bute annually throughou tli»o counties of the State, he at th r same time approved a voucher c* warrant for the purchase of a rug for his office for- $1,165.00. And we can only say that we trust tha God Almighty in His wisdom wil- never permit such narrowness anc smallness as experienced in this in stance to ever occupy again the Great Chair of the State of South Carolina. Wlbon the call for volunteers came, it occurs to us that our pres ent Chief Executive was in the ser vices of the National Guard of the State, but his name does not show as a member of the Veterans As sociation of any War. This act of the Governor, in the judgment cf your humble servant, is the small est effort that has ever taken place in South Carolina since the day ol Scot'ij. Moses and Chamberlain. By turning under er mson clover grown with the corn crop, a 'arm in Edgncombe County, N. C., carrying on a demonstration in soil improve ment in co-ope *ation with the coun ty agricultural extension agent- se cured an increase of 6.3 bushels of corn per acre over the corn crop where the clover was cut for hay. This was :‘n 1926, when one crop of clover was turned under. In 1927 a second crop of crimson clovei* was turned under and an increase cf 22 bushels of corn per aero was secur ed. The type cf soil in this county ■was Norfolk sandy loam., and 400 pounds of a home-mixed 6 3 1-2 4 1-2 fertilizer were applied to an acre.

Effect Airplane De velopment On Auto WILL NOT RELEGATE THE AU TOMOBILE TO PLACES BE SIDE THE HORSE AND BUGGY The cand dates for President and Vice-President chosen by the oppos ing national political parties repre sent the flowering of an ideal in geivernment aiming at an equality of opportunity for every cit zcn. They illustrate the working out of a con stitutional form of government which for 152 years has encouraged priv ate initiative and enterprise instead of crushing individual ambition with the iron hand of officialism seeking to enforce paternalistic control over the Hmcs of a people. No matter what ticket is elected in November it will be a victory for those principles of equality and democracy, w thout class or pnvil- ege, which are th3 basis on which our Constitution rests. The people will choose between men who are of the people in the truest sense of the term, and have the deep understand ing of the national heart that makes for progress and good government. Underlying thr battle for the Pres idency of Our Country are two types of leadership in both parties—lead ers like -Hoover, sprung from the small country communi ties, and lead ers like Smith who struggled up from the multitudes in a great city. The inception of the United States of America marked the end of that popular stupidity of the “Divine Right of Kings” and ^established the first successful government in his tory where a man was judged solely on his own merits and ndt by his blood. When Herbert Hoover worked his way through college by driving a laundry wagon, and Alfred Smith sold papers on New York’s “East Side” to help support a widowed mother- they were developing the character and prov’ng the ability that was tJ place one of them in the most important executive position in the world. And they were given their opportunities to succeed by a prin ciple cf government that recognized that such men, in whom apparent misfortune had created qual'ties of greatness and sympathj. might be infinitely more capable of ruling a nation than the guarded first son of seme favored monaich. It is the high honors paid such men that America is seen as the land of opportunity. The people rule, through the sovereignty of the bal lot, by select'ng to official author ity me n of simplicity and strength, n n who have made their own climb from poverty and c«bscurity to posi tions of power and responsibility, men who appreciate our .constitution al r‘ght.3 ai d privileges. Business, industry and the individ ual have a feelirg of security when they «»ce the traditions and ideals of Our Country carried forward and strengthened by recognition of abil ity, amb tion and enterprise. The greatest freedom for the individual, coupled with absolute security of private property rights, is a founda- tr'or. principle of our government. Skeptics have been inclined to th’nk that these cardinal principles are being lost sight of but period ically the people, by voicing their opinion through the ballot, recognize outstanding men who typify the American ideal which stands for simplicity in government in line with constitutional rights so dear to the American people. The greatest heritage of every American is his right to start with nothing and work toward the high est rewards in our political, indus trial and business life. Eviery field is open to every man and woman. This is the priceless heritage our forefathers handed down to us and it should be jealously guarded.

Is an era of keen competition ahead? Will the airplane relegate the automobile to a place beside the horse and buggy? Decidedly no, in the opinion of II. J. Kllngler, general sales manager> of the Chevrolet Motor Company. The two industries will rather follow parallel lines of development, with each one aid'ng the other, the Chev rolet sa^s leader declared in an in terview here today. “There will be no more competi tion between the airplane and the automobile than there is between the newspaper and the radio,” Mr. Klinger stated. “When the radio first began broadcasting news d’spatcher, there was talk of it supplanting the newspaper. Today the newspaper prints radio news, and the news items broadcast by the radio rather whet the appetites of newspaper readers. Each one serves the ether. “I believe the airplane and the automobile will follow similar lines of development. “I bekeve that for e\rry airplane that goes in the air at least two automobiles will go on the gretand. “The owner of an airplane will need an automobile to take him from his home to the airport. He will need another car to take him from the landing field downtown to his destination. Meanwhile his wife and family will need a car at home while his is parked at the airport await ing his return. Every flight will call into use at least two or three cars. ‘‘There will be no competition be tween the a'rplane and the automo bile because the airplane can serve only a restricted field of transporta tion. It is essentially a rapid med ium of long distance travel. It does not have the flexibility or the all- around utilitv of the automob le. •/ “The motor car takes the business man to work in the rno.-ning. It carries the professional mar-j who has many otops to make, on his route over town. It takes the wife down town shopping, the 'amily to visit frrVnds, or on week end or vacation tr'ps. It does this without regard to distance or conditions of the weath er. “There is this further interesting distinction between the airplane and the automobile. The motor car in its evolution was f ret regarded as a fad and a luxury. It was recogniz ed as an economic necessity only af- y.r it had gained wide popularity as an instrument of pleasure. “The airplane, on the other hand, has been an instrument of business from the start. It is serving now mainly in aerial photography, in transporting mail, motion pictures and other quick freight, and in pro viding rapid passage between dist ant points. Its utility is limited to this highly restricted field which in no sense encroaches on the automo bile. “Both the automobile and the air plane are propelled by internal com bustion engines. Hence any new discovery made in one industry will be available for the other. Airciaft motor building now is largely based on lessons learned in the develop ment of tho automobile. “As mass production served auto mobiles in bringing them to a ba r i r of low first cost and economic?) transportatior. so I believe it will mance breathing still the adventur ous spirit of American beginnings. So long as the people choose of their ow n so wisely, we may be sure that the heart of America is sound. An enterprising celery grower in Bergen County, N. J., has installed a rather unique pumping outfit for subiifrigation of his field. This pumping outfit, which has a capa city of several hundred gallons a minute? drains the water from the ditches in the field in case of an over supply of water, but the pump is so arranged that its action can be re versed, and during dry weather wat er can be pumped through the ditch es back into the field, thus raising the water level in the soil until moisture is brought to the surface through capillary action. X There will neve* be complete har mony in either political party, until that now attained by airplanes. Each will be able to serve better in its own field.” txt Most persons do not realize what an enormous number of seeds are produced by weeds. The numbei'* var ies with different weeds, but most kinds produce from a hundred to sev eral thousand seeds per plant. W,eedf such as wild carrot, bui<dockJ. and sow-thistle may produce 20,000 or more seeds per plant. Not all weed seeds germinate at once, but delay sprouting for some time, some of them for several years. This fact is responsible for the old saying. “One year’s seeding makes seve n years’ weeding.” The only sure way to pre vent annual and biennial weeds from increasing is to prevent them from going to seed.
