Saluda, May 4.—In making a
definite announcement that he
will be a candidate for Congress
in the Third Congressional Dis
trict this summer, Butler B. Hare
issued the following statement:
I shall make the race on my
own qualifications and not upon
the shortcomings or failures of
ethers. I shall make a clean,
clear-cut and honorable campaign.
At the proper time I shall submit
fer the consideration of the peo
ple my training, experience, rec
ord in Congress and proposals for
additional legislation, such pro
posals to be definite, practical,
economically sound, and constitu
tional; they will apply primarily
to the three great problems of
unemployment, agriculture, and
industry. As it will be impossible
to know all the issues that might
arise until after the present ses
sion of congress adjourns, I will
not attempt to go into details as
to the nature and extent of such
proposals.
However, it may be appropriate
to state at this time that I con
sider the problem of unemploy
ment the greatest and most press
ing objective now confronting the
Congress and the American people
and I might go further and sug
gest that, as a first step in thf
solution of this problem, the scop:
of the Works Progress Adminis
tration be immediately enlarges
so that existing industrial enter
prises, or municipalities in cocp
eration with such enterprises, in
dividuals or groups of individual
will be eligible to file application
and have grants approved for
what we now know, as liquidating
projects, such projects to be in th'
nature of buildings or plants to be
used exclusively for industria’
purposes, such plants cr building
to be erected by WPA labor wit!
the understanding that whe:
completed equipment will be in
stalled therein and the person
employed in the constructing cf
such plants will be offered worF
in the new enterprise. This wil.
not only furnish employment for
the unemployed, but will creat
permanent jobs for themselves.
To enumerate the reasons why
this plan should be inaugurated
would make this announcement
too lengthy. However, I shall go
into greater detail when submit
ting other proposals at a later
date.

Columbia, May 7.—Declaring
limself a New Deal candidate
idgar A. Brown of Barnwell, to-
lay announced for the Democratic
omination for United State.'
enator.
Senator Brown’s announcement
' r>s follows:
For the welfare of its people
'outh Carolina should have ef-
ective representation in its twe
eats in the United States Senate
"he State cannot have and enjoy
his if half of its share of Senate
eats is wasted in civil war agains'
he present Democratic Adminis-
for which the voters ol
^outh Carolina are practicallv
unanimous in their endorsement.
The State’s interest cannot be
served best by the continuation of
futile partisanship and prejudice
in the Senate.
South Carolina is a Democratic
State and Party loyalty requires
that South Carolina Democrats
work with and as a part of the
Democratic Administration. No
reasonable man or woman can op
pose President Roosevelt’s •great
objectives for social justice and
economic recovery; I give my
wholehearted and enthusiastic ap
proval and seek the opportunity
to help put them into effect; I
seek to have a part in the forma
tion of the policies by which the
Administration’s objectives are to
be achieved; I desire that South
Carolina’s particular interests may
be served in the program to be
adopted and put through. No
mere rubber stamp or “yes” man
can accomplish this and I am not
nor never shall be, such a one
h the Democratic Party and Ad
ministration Councils, 1 will rep
resent and present the South
Carolina point of view. This
State’s point of view should be
presented; The State, the farmers,
;he laborers and business men are
entitled to their share of the
benefits of President Roosevelt’s
program. This can be done by
constructive cooperation with the
President. It cannot be done by
pne who only objects and opposes,
md offers no support or con-
itructive thought, in the inner
circles of the Administration’s
council.
To give the President this sup
port and give South Carolina ui
'enefit cf another active an
positive place in the presen
Democratic Administration, I an
ic"i'.ce myself a New Deal candi
ate for the United States Senat
object to the rules of the Demo
cratic Party and on a progressiv
Dlatform.
The times call for someone ic
make the race who will represen
10 faction or group, who has ■ x
lerience and capacity and some
me who has no record of unac
complished promises to attempt
live down.
This is going to be a State cam
aign on National issues. On th-
'tump, through the press and ovei
he radio, I shall discuss thes
sues without any reservation o?
ilvocation whatsoever. As foi
ne, the campaign will be clean
•n 1 in keeping with the dignity
id importance of the high office

J. W. CORLEY,

HUGH C. BROWN,
McCORMICK, S. C.
Clemson, May 9.—One of th'
best ways to take advantage of
the provisions of the Triple-A
farm program for soil building is
by planting summer legumes,
such as cowpeas, velvet beans,
soybeans, and crotalaria, accord
ing to R. W. Hamilton, state ad
ministrative officer of the AAA in
South Carolina.
There is no reason why cowpeas.
for instance, shouldn’t be planted
on every farm, Hamilton says.
Cowpeas are a valuable source of
food during the summer and win
ter months and cowpea hay makes
one of the finest kinds of feed for
livestock. In other words, this is
a crop that will help every family
increase its food and feed supply.
There are thousands of families
on farms in this state that are
not producing enough food and
feed for their home needs. In ad
dition, cowpeas and the other
summer legumes are fine soil-
ouilding crops.
While the time for planting
i varies in different localities, these
crops can be planted almost any
time during the next two months.
Leaving summer legumes on the
land is a practice for which pay
ments are made under the farm
program. A certain sum of money
is available for soil-building prac
tices on each farm. A specified
performance in connection with
one of these practices is expressed
as a “unit”, and each “unit” car
ried out earns $1.50 up to the
farm allowance. Each acre of a
summer legume counts as one
unit; therefore, the cooperating
fanner will receive a payment of
$1.59 for each acre of cowpeas he
leaves on the land. If he harvests
his cowpeas for hay he does not
get a soil-building payment for
that practice, but the hay will be
valuable for^jjs livestock.

Aiken Farmers Lead
Diversified System
V
Aiken, May 9.—Aiken county
farmers are falling in line and
entering into the spirit of the 1933:
agricultural program, according to
H. A. Wocdle, Aiken county farm
agent. “Cattle, hogs, chickens,
sweet potatoes, cabbage, small
fruits—a general system of diver
sification is being followed by
most farmers”, says the county
agent.
An important phase of the new
order is development of perma
nent pastures. Mr. Woodle states:
that three different soil types are
ncluded in the new permanent,
pasture demonstrations located or?
0 Aiken county farms. A carload
if basic slag will be used on these
demonstrations.
Aid in this pasture work as ! n
Tther developments is coming
‘rom the Edisto Soil Conservation
district organization which coop
erates with ;he Extension Service.
This district, Mr. Woodle points,
mt. was not only one of the first,
listricts organized in the United
Ttates but is the largest district,
n this state and was the first :n
he United States to send in a
oniplete land use agreement.
Aiken county fanners have been
good buyers of feeder cattle Jiis
spring. Several cars of “white
face” feeders are now eating
■'.iken county grass and others are
the way, according io .he
■* r,, nty agent.
Asparagus, one of Aiken Coun-
•<? epccial cash crops, netted
ners substantial profits this-
* ?on. There was a good demand
: ing most of the cutting season
o • J the canning plants are now'
furnishing a good outlet for the
remainder of thq crop.
