BELL, PROBATE JUDGE: WHEREAS, Rosa Bell Cade has made suit to me to grant Rosa Bell ♦ '^‘'ers o* >^’Ministration of 4he Estate and effects of Frank cade. THESE ARE, THEREFORE, to and admonish all and singular Kindred and Creditors of the Frank Cade, deceased, that be and appear before me, in Court of Probate, to be held McCormick Court House on the day of September 1930, next, »r publication hereof, at 11 : In the forenoon, to show if any they have, why the .Administration should not be (^he Augusta Herald.) From time to time the Herald has warned drivers of school trucks that it was impossible for them to exercise too much precaution in handling the children entrusted to their care, and particularly have ’ flVe stressed the importance of stop- at all railroad crossings. One member of a train crew op erating out of Augusta telephoned the Herald the other day and urged that we write somethihg about drivers of school trucks stopping at railroad crossings. “We narrowly missed striking a school truck yesterday,” this trainman said. “Our engineer had *blown his whistle twice for* the crossing, and much to my surprise, I saw a truck loaded with children dash across the tracks in front of the train ,and we missed it . by a margin too close for safety. The truck was proceeding at what ap peared to be right rapid speed and lid not even slow up for the crossing.” He said this occurred at Evans, Ga. The writer reported this matter to the local board of education, and they said that an investigation would be made, although they did rot think it could be a truck op erating in this county, for the driv ers were not permitted to operate in another county, and Evans is just over the county line. The school board has given school truck drivers explicit in structions to come to a full stop at all railroad crossings and send one of the larger children ahead to look up and down the tracks for a train. Although school truck drivers of this county have had no accidents at railroad crossings, a number lave occurred in the state with disastrous results. One child was killed by another automobile after it had alighted from a school truck but so far as we can recall this is the only fatality that has occurred in this county. We cannot imagine a more seri ous responsibility than that, of a driver of a school truck, to whose care large numbers of children have been committed. These chil dren, like all others have lots of energy and spirit and unless they are carefully guarded accidents are ikely to occur at any time. Of course, some accidents cannot be prevented, yet there is no excuse for a truck' being hit by a train. The fault in an accident of that kind lies entirely with "the driver, and it is unthinkable that such a tragedy should ever occv.r. It was most considerate of the trainman .to notify the paper of this near accident at Evans. * He is not ohly protecting the railroad he serves, but is doing his bit to pro tect the lives of innocent school children. We would suggest to the educa- authorities of all counties in section that they renew their warnings to school truck drivers and that they employ only the most competent and most reliable men available for this service. If we can save the life of one child by this precaution, then any amount of effort exerted to that end will have been well warranted. x South Carolina Crops As Of September 1st Vl under my hand this 12th Septembers Anno Domini .

South Car olina is one of the most favored States in the nation this year, as only Arizona and Georgia rank above her in crop prospects. Compared with last year, the outlook is for 20 per cent more Cotton; 14 per cent more Tobacco; and 6 per cent, more Com. Total production of fruit is also substan tially above that of 1929. However, it has been a little too dry for Hay, Sweet Potatoes, and Peanuts, and prospects for these, while still fair to good ,are somewhat below the good crops of last year. Com: The reported condition of 72 per cent indicates a yield of about 16.5 bushels per acre and a total crop of 24,634,000 bushels, which compares with tfie final es timate of 23,321,000 bushels har- I vested last year and an average of 20,780,000 bushels for the years, 1924-1928. The conditjQjir of 74 per cent for Tobacco indicates a yield of 710 pounds per acre and a total crop of 94,430,000 pounds, which com pares with last year’s crop of 82,- 992,000 pounds and the 5-Year av erage production of 66,469,000 'cv.nds. The condition of 58 per cent for all Tame Hay indicates a, crop of 217,000 tons, compared with 313,000 xms last year and the 5-Year av erage production of 234,000 tons. Sweet Potatoes: A yield of 30 Dushels per acre and a total crop of 4,160,000 bushels are indicated yy the reported condition of 69 per cent. This compares with the rec ord yield of 11,5 bushels per acre and the fihal estimate of 5,759,000 bushels last year aniL; the 5-Yeaf* average of 3,907,000 bushels.. Peanuts: The outlook is for 6,- 750,000 pounds, compared with last year’s crop of 7,350,000 pounds and the 5-Year average of 7,307,000 pounds. Farm Labor supply is reported as 121 per cent of the demand, which compares with 147 per cent for the United States as a whole. Crop prospects in the United States declined 2.5 per cent during August as a result. 9f excessively hot weather, a continuation into August of the record-breaking drought in most of the States af fected in July and an extensioBv of drought injury northward into states that had not previously suf fered severely. A wide variety of late crops has been affected. Prospects for corn have declined by 229,000,000 bush els, or 10 per cent; Potatoes, by 34,000,000 bushels, or 9 per cent; Beans, 11 per cent; Hay 1.3 million tons, or 1 per cent; and Vegetables for canning, 7 per cent. Tobacco Soybeans, Cowpeas, Sweet Potatoes Sorgo and Cane for Syrup, Grapes Cabbage, and various northern vegetables show important de clines. Pastures which were the poorest 9n record a month ago, de clined to a new low record on Sep tember 1, and milk production per cow, largely as a consequence, was reduced 6.4 per cent below produc tion on September T last year. Egg production per hen is also sharply lower in the drought affected five states, and on September 1 averag ed about 6 per cent less than a year ago. On the other hand, several im portant crops seem to be yielding well compared to a month ago. Small grains which were well ad vanced when the drought became serious were largely harvested un der unusually favorable conditions, which were a factor in bringing the yields at threshing time above earlier expectations. Spring Wheat, Oats, and Barley have been yield ing well in proportion to the straw and the estimates have been in creased since August 1 by 17,000,000 bushels of Spring Wheat, 75,000,000 bushels of Oats, and 17,000,000 bushels of Barley. The estimates for Rice, Sugar Beets, and a few fruit crops have also been increas ed Slightly, but the net hVerstge for both food and feed crops is sharp ly downward with opportunity for material recovery rapidly dwind ling. With the exception of Pota toes, Sweet Potatoes, and a few other crops, the shortage of food products is not yet pronounced. The marked shortage of food and the impending necessity of selling livestock in the drought areas tends to hold down the price of meat animals with the result that farmers face the combination of low prices and low yields. Crop yields seem likely to be the lowest in 20 years or more, except pos sibly in 1921, and prices at the farm'on*August 15*'were ’lower than in any August since 1915.

Every community is called upon L o make the most of its natural advantages. It is not a case of many are called but few are ches- m” when it comes to communitie-s making the most of that which the ?ood Lord has given them—it’s a :ase of ALL are called but lob few LISTEN. Or if they hear the “call” they sit back and say, “Well, that can’t le right, for we have never done it that way.” Therefore when the time comes for an industry or some interested party to “choose” a town for some particular purpose the3r are not invited to the party. In traveling over a half million miles of North American highways and byways it has been my pleas ure to see and study, and there fore know, many habitats of man, both large and small. Many, and in fact most of them, have tried, at least now and then, to make the most of the stake nature gave them; they have, even though only off and on, made an effort to do that which they thought would help make the community a better and more attractive place to live and work. Whether or not effort was based on sound feasible work able plan does not enter into it— the fact that the attempt was made is enough. Some, and I might say altogether too many, accepted nature’s gift as a matter of course, and every body TOOK all they could get with out -PUTTING anything back. As*, is always the case under such con ditions, the time came (or is near at hand) when there was nothing more to TAKE and then—“dead town.” When any living thing dies you know it is dead, and there is some one to bury it. When a town dies even those who are a part of it do not always know it, and there is no burial. Now I have seen other commun ities, which recognized, with full appreciation, the “gift” nature had bestowed upon them. They made manifest their appreciation by im proving it on the only plans ap proved by the giver—common sense, sound judgment and NAT URAL laws of cause and effect. These towns were always ready and willing and eager to listen to any sound plan based on “good business” that would BUILD their community. These are the towns that .are getting some place, and they -Vill continue to do so as long as they adhere to that way of do ing things. McCormick can* be that kind of a community N" it makes up its mind to be. That is not idle talk -it is plain fact. N I have seen many towns and communities that were known al most universally as “dead” towns, snap out of it and become real “live” towns in the course of a few months. No town or community where this will be printed is so far gche that it cannot do the same. You may not believe it, but about the only thing that can possibly keep YOUR town from snapping out of any rut it may have happened to fall into, is the fact that you do not, will not, believe it. If you will believe a thing is so, and there are enough other fellows just Uke you, it WILL BE SO! Try getting together with fellows vho think “can.” Refuse to asso- iate with those who think “can t”. Remember that the fellow who says “It can’t be done” is always inter rupted by some fellow doing it. Why not be the kind of a fcljbw who DOES 'things?
