As a re sult of his direct, plain, but point ed speech the temple, the symbol of Israel’s religious unity and pu rity, soon rose in impressive beauty, even though it could not match the grandeur of Solomon’s creation.

D. Fulp, state administra tor, recently summarized the physical accomplishments made by the men on relief rolls of the Emergency Relief administration during the period April 1, 1934, to July 1, 1935. In citing the actual work that has been done with relief labor, Colonel Fulp said: “Some people are of the opinion that we have been doing very lit tle with Federal funds save giving a dole to clients on relief rolls. This is a mistaken idea. It has been our policy to set up work projects and to place clients on the type of work they are best fitted to do; as a result, we have accomplished a number of 'tangible things, and at the same time have been able to maintain the morale of relief workers by giving them employ ment.” ^ During the 15 months period, 564 1-2 miles of road was con structed, and-1,082 1-2 miles im proved and repaired. Analyzing this work: 495 3-4 miles of dirt road Was constructed, and 1,052 1-2 miles Improved and repaired. Other roads included 4 1-2 miles of | macadam road constructed, and two miles improved and repaired; eight miies of concrete roads con structed, and five miles improved sewerage disposal plants were erected, 13 other utilities were con structed, 59 septic tanks were erect ed, and 25,231 sanitary privies were built. The South Carolina ERA realiz ing the value of adequate recrea tional facilities has laid particular stress on this phase of relief work. From the time the CWA was merg ed into the ERA until July 1, this year, a total of 32 grandstands were constructed, and two were Improved and repaired. Of the total built, three were concrete stadia, 23 steel and wooden grand stands, and six open air theatres. One steel and wooden grandstand J was improved, and 11 open air theatres repaired. A total of 108 childrens playgrounds were con structed, and 15 improved and re paired. Forty-three large parks were constructed, improved and re paired, while 53 small parks were constructed. Athletic fields constructed over the 15 months period, total 145, while 43 others were improved and repaired. These fields included 50 combination fields constructed, and 19 improved; 23 baseball fields constructed with four improved; five football fields constructed with three improved; one tract field constructed; 57 tennis courts were built, and 17 improved, and nine basket ball courts were constructed. Ten golf courses were constructed, and two improved. Three rifle ranges were constructed. ' A total of 105 recreational build ings were constructed, improved and repaired. These Included 12 auditoriums, 12 gymnasiums, 12 park buildings, 12 fair buildings, one dance hall, 41 combination community and recreation halls, 22 | bath houses, one zoo and one stadium. !

On October 31 of lost year, Henry Ford announced his intention to build a million Ford V-8s in 1935. We are pleased to re port that this goal was reached in exactly ten months instead of a full year. One million cars and trucks is ***** im pressive total. But figures by themselves mean nothing. It is what they represent that counts. Selling a V- 8 at a low price has brought a new kind of automobile within reach of the people. Producing it has provided steady work for hundreds of thousands of men in the Ford plants, in associated industries and on the farm. These million Ford V-8 cars and trucks have helped to make things better all around. In the first ten months of 1935 the Ford Motor Company paid out, in the United States alone, $140,119,326.00 in wages and $523,111,389.00 for materials. - FORD MOTOR COMPANY ‘ BUILDER OF FORD.

The number ©f wading pools constructed over the period was eight, and the number of bathing beaches was 10. Three fish hatcheries and 46 fish nursery ponds, have been built or are under construction in the fol lowing South Carolina counties; Greenville, Calhoun, Orangeburg, Hampton, Kershaw, Oconee, Ander son, Florence, Spartanburg and Sumter. The approximate annual yield of the fish hatcheries and ponds is 4,500,000 while the total acreage is approximately 250. The Oconee trout hatchery Js being built by relief labor for the United States Bureau of Fisheries. The other nurseries are being con structed for the South Carolina Game department in co-operation with the Bureau of Fisheries. In addition to the fish hatcheries and ponds, there were other fish and game conservation projects constructed. Included in these was the planting of 515,000 bushels of oyster shells and 3,000 bushels of seed oysters in Beaufort county, and 70,400 bushels of oyster shells planted in the public waters of Colleton county. Colonel Fulp pointed out in his report that the South Carolina ERA, realizing the value of flood control for conservation of land and eradication of mosquito breed ing areas, has worked on a number of projects all conducive to a bet terment of public health and pub lic wealth. During the 15 months period, 109 miles of streams were cleared, 55 wells were dug, one mile of levees, one mile of riprap wall, two bulkheads, 21 dams, and one spillway have been constructed. Another important project com pleted under the ERA was the Charleston Yacht Basin and the incinerator in the city of Charles ton. The sand blasting of the State Capitol which was begun un der the CWA program, was also completed under the ERA. Landscaping projects enabled the ERA to give employment to many individuals who were not physical ly able to do hard manual labor. A total of 14,775 trees were planted and over the same 15. months period 15,315 shrubs were also planted. A total of 521 acres of land was landscaped, 61 miles of Beware The Cough From a common cold That Hangs No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get re lief now with Creomulsion. Creomul- sion not only contains the soothing elements common to many remedies; such as. Syrup of White Pine Com pound with Tar, fluid extract of Licorice Root, fluid extract of Ipecac for its powerful phlegm loosening effect, fluid extract of Cascara for its mild laxative effect and, most impor tant of all, Beechwood Creosote is perfectly blended with all of these to reach the source of the trouble from the inside. Creomulsion can be taken fre- g uently and continuously by adults and hilSren with remarkable results. Thousands of doctors use Creomul sion in their own families as well as in their practice knowing how Creo mulsion aids nature to soothe the in flamed membranes and heal the irri tated tissues as the germ-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled. Druggists also know the effectiveness of Beech- wood Creosote and they rank Creo mulsion top for coughs because you get a real dose of Creosote in Creo mulsion, emulsified so that it is palat able, digestible and potent for going to the very seat of the trouble. Creomulsion is guaranteed satis factory in the treatment of coughs, chest colds and bronchial irritations and especially those stubborn ones that start with a common cold and hang on for dreadful days and nights thereafter. Even if other remedies have failed, your druggist is authorized to guarantee Creomulsion and to refund every cent of your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Don’t worry through another sleepless or go get a bottle of now. (Adv.)

In the lower section of the state considerable emphasis was placed on draining swamps and lowlands, while in the upper and central part of the state one of the great est needs was the building up of lands that had been washed away by water, and in many instances was practically worthless. The land terracing project terraced 9,000 acres in scattered sections of the 14 counties by July 1. This work was done in a little over seven tractor hours. In Charleston county 600 rats were trapped by relief workers and were used for experimental pur poses to determine what diseases were being transmitted from the rodents to human beings. It was found through the experiment that the rats were transmitting only one disease, namely; typhus fever, and this was due to the fleas on the rodents. During the 15 months period, three airports were constructed, and three were improved and re paired. In addition, one airport building was constructed, one emergency landing field built, and one improved and repaired, and two flood light towers were con structed. 1 Other projects on public property given consideration by the Relief Administration were all state, county and city poor farms which were improved and repaired, and two military and naval reservations which were also improved and re paired. The ERA has also rebuilt 95 houses for resettlement families; moved one house, and demolished six. The colorful resettlement project, the Ashwood Organized Rural community, in Lee county, was the focus of this activity, no less than 75 houses being rebuilt for the clients settled there. Hundreds of the poor and needy were supplied fuel through the efforts of relief workers. Com munity wood yards were establish ed in the larger cities and relief . * » • % workers were used to cut wood that was distributed to those who were unable to do manual labor, and who did not have the money to pay for fuel. A total of 15,000 cords of wood were cut. The Administration also interest ed itself in the field of research and surrey projects. During the 15 months period, 129 state and lo cal surveys were made; 78 re search projects were carried on, and one traffic survey was sen- *“«*•<*• . j
