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.
A FRIEJND IN NEED
A tea-kettle scald—a sandwich knife slipping and gashing a
finger—children in a scramble and a bruised knee—such ac
cidents demand quick relief.
You run to the medic.re cabinet or kitcheri shelf for a rem
edy. Is it there? Do you have the needed supplies tu treat
the injury properly?
KEEP THE NECESSARY ITEMS HANDY
If you do not have the things that ’mu need, get a supply
here now so that they will be accessible in case of accident.
You never know at what moment something may happen. You
run no risk when you buy here for everything is pure and
fresh, and the best quality.

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.

DETROIT, Mich., July 21.—What
effect airplane development will have
on the automobile has frequently
been discussed by those close to both
industries as well as by laymen in
terested in the transportation meth
ods the future may evohie.
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.”

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.
