Lespedeza Sericea
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. — The
Senate Friday passed and sent to
the House a bill by Senator George
(D., Ga.) authorizing his state to
put a toll bridge over the Savannah
river near Lincolnton, Ga., and Mc
Cormick, S. C.
SPARTANBURG, Feb. 18.—Les
pedeza Sericea is a perennial var
iety, the seed of which has so far
been so limited in quantity and so
high in price that very little experi
mental work has been done with it,
says S. L. Jeffords, extension ag
ronomist, answering inquiries about
this new lespedeza.
Lespedeza Sericea grows erect
with few to many stems arising
from a crown as in the case of al
falfa. Each main stem is more or
less branched. When seeded in
rows and cultivated, the plants
grow more vigorously and a light
seed crop may be harvested the
first year. The second year and
each succeeding year more stems
come out from the crov/n. The
height of grov/th will vary from
two to five feet.
The Experiment Stations and the
Department at "Washington are not
in position to say whether this
variety of lespedeza will make a
satisfactory pasture plant or not.
Its value compared with our annual
legumes for hay has not been de
termined, but it does not make suf
ficient growth the first year to
compare with such annuals as soy
beans and velvet beans as a soil
improving plant.
The seed of Serlcsa are very
hard and do not readily absorb
water and germinate. For this rea
son seed that are untreated before
planting will give a germination
test of only two to ten per cent.
This explains why many persons in
South Carolina last year failed to
secure satisfactory stands of this
lespedeza. For better germination
seed may be treated before plant
ing by scarifying with sandpaper
©r by immersing them in water at a
temperature of 170 degrees for 15
to 20 minutes.
COLUMBIA, Feb. 18.—Advocates
of a toll bridge over the Savannah
river near McCormick, which a
bill passed yesterday by the nation
al Senate and sent to the House
would authorize, claim it would op
en up a new Columbia-Atlanta
route 26 miles shorter than any
present route.
The bill, introduced by Senator
George of Georgia, would allow
his state to build the bridge. Char
les H. Moorefield, chief engineer of
the South Carolina Highway de
partment, said he knew of no “im
mediate plans” for this state to
join in the project.
Site of the proposed span, near
Lincolnton on the Georgia side, is
about 28 miles from a bridge near
Calhoun Falls upstream, and 30
miles from one down stream at
Fury’s Ferry.
An improved highway from At
lanta and a state highway from
Columbia meet the site. The South
Carolina road is paved to McCor
mick, approximately seven miles
from‘the river.
Construction of another bridgo
over the river further downstream
has been proposed by Allendale
county and the adjoining county
in Georgia. This, also to be a toll
bridge, would be financed by the
two counties.

TTAPPY little girl, just bursting
A -I with pep, and she has never
tasted a “tonic!”
Every child’s stomach, liver, and
bowels need stimulating at times,
but give children something you
know all about.
Follow the advice of that famous
family physician who gave the
world Syrup Pepsin. Stimulate the
body's vital organs. Dr. Caldwell’s
prescription of pure pepsin, active
senna, and fresh herbs is a mild
stimulant that keeps the system
from getting sluggish.
If your youngsters don’t do well
at school, don’t play as hard or eat
as well as other children do, begin
this evening with Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin. This gentle stimulant
will soon right things! The bowels
will move with better regularity
and thoroughness. There won’t be
so many sick spells or colds. You’ll
find it just as wonderful for adults,
too, in larger spoonfuls!
Get some Syrup Pepsin; protect
your household from those bilious
days, frequent headaches, and that
sluggish state of half-health that
means the bowels need stimulating.
Keep this preparation in the home
to use instead of harsh cathartics
that cause chronic constipation if
taken too often. You can always
get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at
any drug store; they have it all
ready in bis bottles.

Early-Hatcked Chicks
Pay Poultrymen Best
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 18.—
Early-hatchetJ chicks live better
and grow faster than late-hatched
chicks because the hatching eggs,
having been produced before the
hens came into the peak of pro
duction, are larger and therefore
produce stronger and more vigorous
chicks, advises P. H. Gooding, ex
tension poultryman.
“Broiler prices are highest in
March, April, and May; hence,
cockerels from early-hatched
chicks can be disposed of at a bet
ter price,” he continues. “Pullets
saved from the early-hatched
chicks can be allowed to grow slow
ly during the summer largely on a
grain ration v/hich is cheap and
will allow the pullets to make a
big frame and store up a large
quantity cf fat before coming into
production. Furthermore, early-
hatcired fat pullets will come into
prsd action early in the fall, when
the prices of eggs are high and
they will lay large eggs and hold up
in production during the winter
months. If they are handled care-
Mdy and led heavily on grain they
\;hi go through the wnter without
a partial molt.”
“Records kept by poultry rais
ers in Tennessee show that those
who received 50 per cent of their
broiler income in April and May
made 83 per cent more profit per
hen above feed cost than those who
received above 50 per cent of the
broiler income during June, July,
and August,” says Mr. Gooding,
quoting A. J. Caldwell, extension
poultryman of that state. Mr.
CaldwelFalso advocates saving pull
ets from early hatching for fall
layers, because:
“Demonstrations show that poul
try growers who received about 17
per cent of their egg income during
September, October, and November
made 78 per cent more profit per
hen above feed cost than those who
received less.than 17 per cent dur
ing tb.oce a: nthc.”
Cotton Around
Parksville Is Relative
ly High In Quality
“Cotton produced in the vicinity
of Parksville during 1932 is decided
ly highe r in quality as measured by
staple length than that of the
State as a whole,” says Mr. W. T.
Self, who is manager of the Parks
ville ginnery. “The cotton which
we ginned prior to December 1 was
95 per cent 15-16 inch or longer in
staple, in comparison to the cor
responding figure of 75 per cent for
the State; and at that time we
were about through ginning and
around 96 per cent of the estimated
total State crop had been ginned,”
continues Mr. Self.
Mr. Self is one of the State’s
ginners who are co-operating with
the United States Department of
Agriculture and the South Caro
lina Experiment Station in estimat
ing the grade and staple of the
3tate’s cotton crop. During the
past season, a sample was saved
from each bale of cotton that came
to his gin. These samples were
regularly sent to Atlanta where
.hey were classed by government
experts according to the official
United States Cotton Standards,
ihe data secured with that from
sther representative gins are used
>s a basis for estimating the qual-
• y of the State’s crop.
Reflecting upon past experiences,
Ir. Self relates: “It is my belief
hat the organized production of
quality cotton means a better aver-
'ge price to farmers. It was with
his thought in mind that I have
ent my aid to the importation and
maintenance of pure seed of the
better cotton varieties. I think
,his has enabled me to obtain bet
ter cotton prices for my patrons
and with the combined efforts of
farmers and agricultural workers
has led to the high quality of this
section’s cotton.”

INTERESTING SOUVENIRS

an Indian potato weighing possibly
10 or 15 pounds and a beautiful,
salmon colored flint fully three
inches long. The flint or an ar
row head was left at The Enterprise
office by Frank Game. These souv
enirs were taken from a depth of
five feet and were unearthed from
pipe clay soil, indicating that it
might have been the camp once of
an Indian tribe. The potato de

ALL MEN CREATED EQUAL
What was there for Jesus to add? It was a thought
more splendid than all which had gone before and it has
altered the current of history. He invited frail bewilder
ed humanity to stand upright and look at God face io face.
He called upon men to throw away fear, disregard the lim
itations of their mortality, and claim the Lord of Creation
as Father. It is the basis of all revolt, a 1 ! democracy. For
if God is the Father of all men, then all are his children
and hence the commonest is equally as precious as the king.
No wonder the authorities trembled. Ihey were not fools;
they recognized the implications of the teaching. Either
Jesus’ life or their power must go. No wonder that suc
ceeding generations of authorities have embroidered his
Idea and corrupted it. so that the simplest faith in the
worM has become a complex thing of form and ritual, of en
forced observances and "thou shall nots.*’ It was too dang
erous a Power to he allowed to wander the world, unleash
ed and uncontrolled.
This then was what Jesus wished to send to all crea
tion, through the instrumentality of his eleven men. What
were his methods of training? How did he meet prospec
tive believers? How did he deal with objections? By
what sorl of strategy did he interest and persuade?
He was making the journey hack from Jerusalem af
ter his spectacular triumph in cleansing the Temple, when
he came to Jacob’s Well, and being tired, sat down. His
disciples had stopped behind at one of the villages to pur
chase food, so he was alone. The well furnished the water-
supply for the neighboring city of the Samaritans, and af
ter a little time a woman came out to it. carrying her pitch
er on her shoulder. Between her people, the Samaritans,
and his people, the Jews, there was a feud of centuries. To
he touched by even the shadow of a Samaritan Avas defile
ment according to the strict code of the Pharisees; to speak
to one Avas a crime. The woman made no concealment of
her resentment at finding him there. Almost any remark
from his lips Avould have kindled her anger. She Avould
at least have turned away in scorn; she might have sum
moned her relatives and driven him off.
An impossible situation, you aviI 1 admit. Hoav could
he meet it? Hoav give his message to one avIio Avas forbid
den by everything holy to listen? The incident is very
revealing: there are times when any word is the Avrong
word; Avhen only silence can prevail. Jesus kneAV well this
precious secret. As the woman dreAV closer he made no
move to indicate that he was conscious of her approach.
His gaze was upon the ground. When he spoke it was quiet
ly. musingly, as if to himself:
4 Tf you knew avIio I am,’“ he said, “you would not need
to come out here for Avater. I would give you living water.”
