Joshua the high priest. • How • ap

them that the Lord is with them
in their noble efforts Although not
one of the great prophets, he ren
dered a splendid service, at a criti

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.

Fulp Issues Report
On ERA Work
DONE BY MEN DURING THE
PERIOD APRIL 4, 1931, TO
JULY 1, 1935
—Adv.
».«»isut.
Col. J. 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.

were constructed, and nine improv
ed and repaired. 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.)

highways were beautified, and ap
proximately 2,500,000 cubic yards of
earth were moved in grading proj
ects.
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.

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-
