Blackwood today ordered a banking holiday in South Carolina until March 13, inclusive. The governor, who is in Wash ington, issued his proclamation here through his secretary, Charles H. Gerald. It follows: “Whereas, on account of the finanacial crisis existing through out the nation, all other states having found it necessary to put into operation banking holidays, and “Whereas, the interest of the de positors in the banks of the state of South Carolina will be prejudic ed by reason thereof if South Car olina banks continue to operate under existing conditions, and “Whereas, it is confidently ex pected that the national adminis tration will take vigorous and Club Meets prompt action to better conditions, now ) “Therefore, in order to protect ! the best interests of the people of the state of South Carolina, I, Ibra C. Blackwood, as governor of the state of South Carolina, do hereby proclaim that March 6th to March 13th, inclusive, be and the same are declared to be banking holidays in the state of South Carolina, and I request and direct the banks in the state cf South Carolina to observe the holiday above named and de clared. “(Signed) Ibra C. Blackwood.” Prevents Any Drain Governor Blackwood said he call ed the holiday reluctantly since he felt the banks in the state were in good condition, but he considered it unwise to permit them to remain open while the other banks throughout the country were clos ing for a holiday. He said they “have been operat ing under great difficulties for the last t" collecting checks on out of stat' banks had completely broken ifUUMBWt NO PLACE FOR SLUGGARDS: “There’s no- place in 4-H club work for boys and girls who do not want to do things and go places,” remarks C. B. Wadleigh, state club carter of New Hampshire in con cluding his* annual report on the past year’s activities. Club work is being carried on in practically every farming commun ity in the state and in such an ef ficient manner that members miss few of the fine advantages which are offered in the club year. Fore most of those enjoyed by New Hampshire club members were be ing named delegates to the Madi son Square Garden poultry show in- New York City, to the National' Club Congress in Chicago, and the national camp in Washington, D. C. More than 500 members attend ed the state Camp Carlisle. Most- of them went as official delegates and had their expenses paid from'. Guilds raised by club entertain ments and other co-operative methods. Local events were numerous. More than 6.500 local 4-H'meet ings were held with a total attend-, ance of nearly 60,000 boys and girls. There were 385 different county events and programs held with an attendance of over 14,000. Nearly 200 programs celebrating the 4-H. achievements of the year were at tended by more than 10,000 per sons. Over 4,000 club members, exhibited their products at county and state events.

ROOSEVELT TAKES OFFICE AS PRESIDENT (Continued From Page One) must act and act quickly. “Finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order; there must be 'a strict supervision of all banking and credits and invest ments; there must be an end to speculation with other people’s money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound cur rency. “These are the lines of attack. I shall presently urge upon a new Congress in special session detail ed measures for their fulfillgient, and I shall seek the immediate as sistance of the several States. “Through this program of action we address ourselves to putting our own national house in order and making income balance outgo. Our international trade relations, though vastly important, are in point of time and necessity second ary to the establishment of a sound national economy. I favor as a practical policy the putting of first things first. I shall spare no ef fort to restore world trade by in ternational economic readjustment, but the emergency at home can not wait on that accomplishment. “The basic thought that guides these specific means of national recovery is not narrowly national istic. It is the insistence, as a first consideration, upon the in terdependence of the various ele ments in apd parts of the United States—a recognition of the old and permanently important mani festation of the American spirit of the pioneer. It is the way to re covery. It is the immediate way. It is the strongest assurance that the recovery will endure. “In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighbor—the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others—the neighbor who respects his obliga tions and respeets the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world ot neighbors. “If I read the temper of our peo ple correctly, we now realize as we have never realized before our in terdependence on each other; that can not merely take but we must give as well; that if we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to scarifice for the good of a com mon discipline, because without such discipline no progress is made, no leadership becomes effective. We are, I know, ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline, because it makes possible a leadership which aims at a larger good. This I propose to offer, pledging that the larger pur poses will bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with a unity of duty hitherto evoked only in time of armed strife. “With this pledge taken, I as sume unhesitatingly the leadership of this great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems. “Action in this image and to this end is feasible under the form of government which we have inher ited from our ancestors. Our Con stitution is so simple and practical that it is possible always to meet 'xtraordinary needs by changes in 'mphasis and arrangement without ocs cf essential form. That is why our constitutional system has prov- d itself the most superbly endur- ng political mechanism the mod ern world has produced. It has net every stress of vast expansion of territory, of foreign wars, of bit- '•er internal strife, of world rela- ions. “It is to be hoped that the nor mal balance of executive and leg islative authority may be wholly adequate to meet the unprecedent- 'd task before us. But it may be that an unprecedented demand and need for undelayed action may oall for temporary departure from that normal balance of public pro cedure. “I am prepared under my con stitutional duty to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in ‘he midst of a stricken world may require. These measures, or such Dther measures as the Congress may build out of its experience and wisdom, I shall seek, within my constitutional authority, to bring to speedy adoption. “But in the event that the Con gress shall fail to take one of these two courses, and in the event that the national emergency is still critical, I shall not evade the clear course of duty that will then con front me. I shall ask the Con gress for the one remaining instru ment to meet the crisis—broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe. “For the trust resposed in me I will return the courage and the de votion that befit the time. I can do no less. “We face the arduous days that lie before us in the warm courage of national unity; with the clear consciousness of seeking old and precious moral values; with the clean satisfaction that comes from the stern performance of duty by old and young alike. We aim at the assurance of a rounded and permanent national life. “We do not distrust the future of essential democracy. The people of the United States have not fail ed. In their need they have reg istered a mandate that they want direct, vigorous action. They have asked for discipline and direction under leadership. They have mads me the present instrument of chei: wishes. In the spirit of the giti I take it. “In this dedication of a Natior we humbly ask the blessing of Gftd May He protect each and every one of us. May He guide me in the days to come.” BATTERIES FOR ALL LIGHT CARS - $6.65 WHITTLE BATTERY SERVICE M2 BROAD PHONE 1166 AUGUSTA. GA.

C. in Asia min- joking holiday, or knew the use of the alphabet, is roclaimed a banking holiday early were forced into a banking holiday on March 4, it naturally becomes necessary for South Carolina—the last state in the union to fall in line—to likewise take a banking holiday.” “It should be a source of pride and gratification to the bankers of this state generally, and to the de positors in particular,” he contin ued, “that South Carolina is the last of the 48 states to resort to a North Carolina Some Poultiy^Eointers PRACTICAL QUESTIONS .AN SWERED BY P. H. GOODING><^ POULTRY SPECIALIST Are Cowpeas Good For Chick ens? R. W. P., Lake City—Cowpeas are an excellent feed for chickens when used to supplement part of the grain and not the protein sup plement.
