“HORNETS”
Editor The Sun:-
You know folks under my well shed
some weeks ago I seen two little old
buzzing varmits building a little dark
funny bluish kinda round thing with
a hole in the bottom.
Well, there were only two of them,
tiny flying things and I enjoyed
listening to their buzzing so much
that 1 left them there to watch, just
you know to see >f they would always
be my friends.
Folks always told me that hornets
would sting you but I was so inter
ested in them I had no heart to tear
them down so tonight they are still
intaot and as I looked at them up
thru that little round hole after I’d
spent some time trying to figure out
if Mr. Hitler could see the moon like
I did, I just decided I was going to
leave them until they stung me.
I feel awful bad about them hor
nets ’cause some how or other since
they got so many young ones won’t
nobody drink out of my well bucket
and you know folks won’t even come
to see .me any more. Nearly breaks
my 'heart, too. But you know long
as they don’t sting me I ain’t got the
heart to Stick a kerosene lag to them.
’Bout noon today us boys were hot
and moist after hauling some wood
to friends in Newberry. One says I’m
going to draw some water. But before
he got there he left out in a hurry
coming my way. He says “Draw
that water yourself, I couldn’t stand
still and listen to them things biting
me on my straw hat with its air
holes ’cause one nearly went thru one
of them air vents.”
Big brave man that I thought 1
was I gallantly stepped forward to
draw water. But mama and papa
hornet had turned out all the babies.
telling them to get the big bad man.
I never had so many hornets all
over me in my life. I stopped, the
bucket stopped half way up, my
breath stopped, my friends laughed.
I knew' .1 was crazy but they ain’t
stung me yet and tho I was scared
stiff until all my little friends went
right back into that little hole.
I says boys hold your breath if
they sting me down they come to
night. But I ain’t yet so folks if
you see me coming to Newberry kin
da swelled up, blind and can’t see
you can just say them hornets went
back on Dick Boulware.
So long, see you later.
P. S.—I think Mr. Roosevelt is going
to get all of us saints and sinners
praying about this war of Mr. Hit
ler’s real soon ’cause he like me and
Mr. Armfield ain’t so scared but
want it stopped and listen while I
think about it you good people that
read “The Sun” or Moon or Stars or
whatever you read start praying
about this war. Me and Mr. Aim-
field ain’t so scared to go but also
we ain’t so hot to be a dead hero. I
want all my friends to know that Mr.
Armfield is a live, wide-awake busi
ness man and deeply interested in cur-
county and state.

AND ALE MADE OF?
QUESTION: HOW MUCH DO BEER
TAXES CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST
OF GOVERNMENT?
QUESTION: DO BEER AND ALE
MAKE JOBS FOR WORKERS?
QUESTION: HOW IS THE BREW
ING INDUSTRY COOPERATING WITH
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS?
ANSWER: Because beer’s alcoholic con
tent is low. Temperate, moderate nations of the
world... and their people... prefer beer.
ANSWER: Since re-legalization the brew
ing industry has bought 25,000,006,000 pounds
of farm products. That has helped farmers ...
particularly during the depression years.
ANSWER: Beer is made by a natural fer
mentation process . . . from malted barley and
other grains, hops, yeast, water. Nature makes
beer. The brewer makes it good beer (and ale).
ANSWER: Beer contributes $1,000,000 a
day... $400,000,000 a year... to help pay the
costs of government... local, state and federal.
Everybody benefits from this contribution.
ANSWER: Beer and ale have already made
a million jobs. This employment is wide-spread
... all over the country. More than 100 other
industries benefit from beer and ale.
ANSWER: The Brewing Industry is active
ly on the side of law and order. A “self-regula-
tion”plan to eliminate retail abuses has already
been put into effect in a number of states in co
operation with law enforcement authorities. This
plan is being extended. We would like to tell

Butler Hare Suggests
Auxiliary Plants To
Make Garments
The recent suggestion of Dr. Wil
liam P. Jacobs, executive vice-presi
dent of the Cotton Manufacturers of
South Carolina, that South Carolina
needs several hundred more small
fabrication unite to convert state-
produced textile materials into arti
cles of wearing apparel and for other
uses has created much favorable
comment.
Several newspapers have seen fit
to make complimentary statements
about the suggestion. The Greenville
News of Tuesday, April 30, and The
State of May 2 editorially referred
to the idea and urged that the sub
ject have further study and thought
in an earnest effort to correct the
condition. The State called attention
to the fact that several years ago it
urged that a prime need of South
Carolina was for small indstrial en
terprises.
When the Pickens-Liberty Lions
Club on September 14, 1939, sponsor
ed the first cotton rally in the United
States under he auspices of the Nat
ional Cotton Council, Honorable But
ler B. Hare, who was the principle
speaker on this occasion, is reported
in The Pickens Sentinel as having
made the suggestioa that if a num
ber of cotton mills in the state would
add to their plants a sufficieit num
ber of employees and machinery to
convert the finished product into cot
ton suits for men and cotton dresses
for women to be sold in our local
market, such a plan would increase
the consumption of cotton products
and serve the purpose of offsetting
the indoads being made by other
materials. The Congressman advanc
ed this idea in connection with a pro
posed advertising program for the
purpose of increasing the sale of
cotton goods. It was pointed out
that many of the materials replacing
cotton were being pushed by a vigor
ous advertising program and that
the only hope for increasing the con
sumption of cotton products lies in a
program of advertising and in mak
ing the productei available to the peo
ple. The Sentinel reported the Con
gressman as wearing a cotton suit to
the meeting as contrasted with many
others who wore ■woolen suits to a
meeting to advance the cause of cot
ton.
The idea of increasing the con
sumption of cotton by increasing the
number of garment factories seems
to be growing and should receive
every possible encouragement, for it
will serve two good purpose®. First,
it will increase consumption of cot
ton goods and then it will afford ad
ditional employment.
Mr. Hare in his original suggestion
went a iiitle more into detail than
Dr. Jacobs showing that he had given
some real study to the proposal. We
agree with Dr. Jacobs that we should
have 100 plants in South Carolina
converting the finished products of
our malls into garments, but we also
agree with the congressman whe/‘ he
suggested last year that every cot
ton mill in the state should have ad
ded to them one or more plants to be
used in converting as much of their
goods into suits, dresses, etc. as the
trade would warrant. This seems to
us an added suggestion because it
could be done and operated so much
cheaper than having independent
plants Here you would have no new
high salaried officers to pay, no new
motor machinery, or developing motor
power, or no additional salesmen or
bookkeepers.

PAUL B. CLARK, PH. D.
THE READER’S JOHNSON. C. H.
Conley. The American Book com-
any, New York and Cincinnati. Pp.
vi-618. Pr. $2.00.
I This book comes from the pen of
Dr. Conley of Wesleyan University
Jand gives a representative selection
j of his writings. There is a chrono
logy, a fine bibliography; there are
poems, selected letters, and the like.
Literarj societies of the nomad type
would do well to look into this inter
esting book, into this type of book, the
kind of book that teaches the student
enough of the author to make him
appreciate good literature and is a
higher bidder for the future of litera
ture in our schools than the method
of anthology that keeps one running
from cover to cover over what at best
i® a sampling of samples. This book
goes into the character and 'the influ
ence of Dr. Johnson; several pages
are devoted to am appraisal of the
man, a revaluation of former apprais
als. We are introduced to the moral
writings of the literary 'genius, also
to the literary criticism of his works.
“Neoclassicism, the principles of
which in Johnson’s youth were sup
ported by formidable names, was an
authoritative system from Aristotle,
Horace, and others of the ancients,
and established through elaboration
and pronouncements of sixteenth—
and seventeenth-century Italian and
French critics,” p. 25. But the book
raises the question whether he was
just another neoclassical critic. The
author of this book knows Dr. John
son; he says: “Johnson’s style, seldom
sprightly and at times subject to
self-limitations, is—mannerisms apart
—the outpouring both rich and distinc
tive, of a powerful, smoothly work
ing mind and vigorous personality,” p.
57. His letters reveal his fiery na
ture and his command of the lan
guage; his dictionary shows his com
mand of words, breadth of knowledge.
A fine book.

H-D COLUMN
By MISS ETHEL COUNTS
The following is a contribution from
Mrs. Dora Walker's letter known to
Home Demonstration club members
as “Mother Walker”:
Golden rod is our National flower, a
member of a composite family consis
ting of many species of perennial
herbs with clustered yellow flowers,
which brighten the countryside of all
South Carolina and other states.
This goldtenrod is used extensively
in combination with the fall Asters
and Michaelmas daisies in the borders
on home grounds, producing a pleas
ing color scheme. A collection of Gold-
enrod and Asters in the Garden bor
der is easily made, as both plants are
readily moved and increase very
rapidly. They become weedy in rich
soil, therefore, should be 'handled with
caie in cultivation. Old clumps
should be divided in the spring, grav
ing plants to set out on an extended
border. Sowing the seed during
spring furnished blooms the follow
ing year.
One of the most handsome species
is the Altissima which grows to a
height of 3 to 6 feet, With large py
ramidal panicles of small golden
flowers. Another species called
Speciosa, is very tall, having smooth
leaves and bright yellow flowers in
a compound panicle. The Sweet
Go Idem, rod has fragrramt foliage and
large panicle of flowers, which last
many weeks.
The Go Idem rod with which we are
most familiar in South Carolina grows
from 3 tc 4 feet in height with large
pyramidal panicles of very small yel
low flowers. Being our National
flower makes it the most noteworthy
of wild flowers.
«*,,****
Yellow Jessamine
This wild flower is our State flow
er, called the Carolina Yellow Jessa
mine, selected as our State flower, al
most, or quite, 30 years ago. It is a
native wild plant, growing as a grace
ful vine with long, willowy tendrils.
bearing clusters’ of smooth semi-ovate
leaves which -.turn bronze as winter
approaches and do not shed except
under severe weather conditions. ,
By the ides of March we find the
vine covered! with fragrant yellow
semi-trumpet blooms, the very first
harbingers of spring. Through a
spirit of State pride and patriotism
we dearly love to transfer these
symbols of natural beauty and per
vading fragrance to our trellises,
pergolas and summer houses. The
very best time to move them is when
they are in bloom.
We are wondering if our many
Home Beautiliers have considered
what a great acquisition the intro
duction of Crotolaria is to our flow
er gardens, as a factor ’or soil build
ing and lovely blooms for cut flow
ers. Two varieties are available at
any seed stores. Spectabilis, a tall
plant, much branched, with gray-
green foliage ana long erect racemes
of yellow flowers, striking in form
and foliage, it makes an interesting
border even before it blooms.
Retusa, the other variety is simi
lar, but smaller, and the flowers are
marked with dark red brown. Croto
laria i® an especially good hot weath
er plant, because its leaves stay
fresh and crisp all summer. Try
these two!
