Europe’s dictators have sat down around a Rome conference table, “thunk” a little about the matter— and announced that the continent of Africa is theirs. The fact that some other nations are still in possession of the lands that the dictators parcel ed out amonjr themselves, does not strike the dictators as being- anything unusual. Possession means nothing to some people. This is a unique way to acquire real estate and commends itself to all who abhor war and bloodshed and fighting over land. It is such a truly remark able way of obtaining some of the earth’s land that Uncle Sam could sit down in Washington, carve up Asia in the same manner and never cause an agry hair to rise on a Nipponese bean. A more glamorous enterprise of this sort awaits the dictators, and it would yield results as substantial as the parceling out of enemv-held ter ritory in Africa. The moon still awaits discovery, carving up and col onization. The venture would anger no one except perhaps the inhabi tants of that planet. But since moon- folk are said to be largely mythical, it is likely that no one would be in jured in the long run. Of course some rude fellows In the “decadent” democracies might scoff at the venture and term it sheer “moonshine” but that would not deter dictators who’re said to be “moony’ anyway. Onward, mighty men, to the moon! FARLEY SILENT ON NATIONAL TICKET COL. HARRINGTON, WPA HEAD, DIES IN CONNECTICUT New London, Conn., Sept. 30.— Colonel F. C. Harrington, national commissioner of the works projects administration, died tonight at a hospital here where he underwent an operation a week ago. Colonel Harrington was stricken ill while visiting at the summer home of his brother-in-law, William Rayburn, and entered the hospital about two weeks ago. Physicians said he was suffering from an in- testional obstruction. He apparent)y was recovering fol lowing the operation, but complica tions developed and his condition be came critical last night. His two children, William Har rington, a student at Yale, and Miss Eleanor Harrington, were at the bedside. Harry Hopkins, form er secretary of commerce who is a close personal friend of Harrington, and Howard Hunter, the deputy WPA commissioner, also came here when they learned of the serious ness of his condition. New York, Sept. 30.—James 3. Farley, who recently resigned as Democratic national chairman, open ed the New York state Democratic convention today and turned to the introduction of the keynote speaker without mentioning his party’s nat ional ticket. Presenting Gov. Herbert H. Leh man, Farley referred to a long line of New York Governors and added that “No man has ever given the state a greater administration than has the present governor.” “We are fortunate indeed that he is at Albany at the present time,” said Farley, state party chairman. ELLIOT ROOSEVELT ASKED TO RESIGN Dodge City, Kas., Sept. 30.—The Dodge City junior chamber of com merce today telegraphed Elliott Roosevelt, son of the president, ask ing him to resign his recently ac quired captaincy in the air corps. The telegram read: “The morale of the young men of the nation has been badly shaken by your appointment to an undeserved position In the air corps. Will you remedy this situa tion in part by resigning your cap taincy immediately?” BUILDING IS LOW Building permits issued t>y Sam Beam amounted to only $2,586 for September. Of that amount $186 was for repairs. An annex of five rooms being added to O’Neall Methodist church will total $2400.

For years I heard this. “I met quite a few”; or “I have quite a few”. “Few” itself indicates a highly restricted number. “Quite a few”, as usually used, is a contradic tion. “I have a few” would convey the idea of several, so if we say “quite a few”, what do you mean? But here is an expression which rubs me the wrong way all the time: “We don’t have any”. Even purists in lan guage indulge in such expressions. A beautiful teacher of our tongue says that and puts her stamp of approval on it. Wouldn’t it suffice to say “We haven’t any?” The old stylists and masters of the quill, like Dr. Ball and Dr. Dreher, Brother Brunson, and “Bishop” Smoak,—they shoot straight from the shoulder, without firing un necessary words. New Yorkers must be the greatest walkers in the world. There may be a million cars in the city, but it is certain that at least five million New Yorkers ride in busses or subway trains. And 1 that means that they do a lot of walking. Does it sound con tradictory? Well, here is a typical experience: to go more than ten blocks a New Yorker will take the subway. That great railway runs under the ground and at terrific speed. Of course, one entering New York on a train from the South rides under the river; and those entering the city from the South in cars or buses pass under the river through the Holland tunnel. A man living a hundred blocks from his work would find the buses too slow, for they stop at every cor ner and also get mixed up in traffic jams. Perhaps half the working pop ulation lives more than a hundred blocks, for I have been across at least two hundred and fifty blocks. To go a hundred blocks, or more, one would walk an average of three blocks to a subway station, then do down two flights of steps and some yards down the platform. Arriving at his desti nation he would repeat all that, as an average. The average New Yorker is willing to give you information, but the av erage New Yorker can run you rag ged will all the misinformation he gives you. The truth is that the av erage New Yorker may find his way about the city but he doesn’t know enough about it to help anybody else. They remind me of what I've heard about a kinsman of mine. He was seen directing visitors in Washington. Up on being asked if he really knew the city well enought to direct visitors he replied: “No; but everybody else has told me wrong so why shouldn’t I tell others?” If you meet two New Yorkers and ask how to go to a given point they will debate the subject, and will probably both be wrong as your weary feet will proclaim in about fifteen minutes. every man must know his job and be able to do his part effectively. If there is one accomplishment we Americans boast of—and rightly—it is our ability to drive motor vehicles. If we have thirty million cars and trucks we must have at least forty million who can drive, not counting the back-seat drivers. So it would seem that our army should be able to climb into trucks and travel at a rate of forty miles an hour. But not so, for I’ve recently read a statement that in practice our army barely av eraged sixteen miles an hour. Shi Millions ox men can’t cooperate ef ficiently without training. They can’t do it even in the industries of peace, and certainly much less in the stress of war. A hundred thousand civilians are a mob; but a hundred thousand soldiers are an army. The difference is training. A hundred thousand civ ilians, however capable ordinarily, are just so many individuals at cross purposes, a hundred thousand soldiers are so many disciplined units acting together. A very fine gentlemen who is president of a great enterprise was in a hospital in Columbia for some weeks. Wc. talked about his busi ness affairs very briefly, but he said “I’m not worried about the mills; we have a good organization”. Certain ly, and every man knew his work. That is why there is so much need for training in the plan of defense; ■yOU can no longer *ft at borne and concern yourself solely with nev/s of local interest. What * going on in the remotest corners of the globe concerns every citizen of the United States, and every person living in South Carolmu ... and every person needs a live daily newspaper to keep him accurately informed on the rapid changes taking place in the world of today. History Is In The Making TsJOW as never before you want to read adequate reporting of ALL the news. The three top ranking press associations of the world pour 75,000 words of exciting news and features into the office of The News and Courier every night, and in addition, special correspondents throughout the state and staff reporters cover middle and eastern South Carolina for the news of the day. Eight electric printers re ceive reports from around the world that enable you, sitting »t home with your morning paper, to visit a hundred places at once. Keep up with the world! Read the news and features in The News and Courier! hades of old Stonewall Jackson; he march ed his ragged army up and down the Shenandoah Valley making forty miles a day on foot! Of course the trucks are capable of greater speed than sixteen miles an hour; but the speed of the truck depends on the ability of the driver to keep it in con dition. This poor average springs from delays and breakdowns due to half-trained drivers by the thousands, and there are thousands of trucks in our ordinary hauling sendee which average 76,000 to 100,000 miles with out mechanical adjustment, but long practice brought that about. That may seem simple, but a first-class truck driver is not made in a day, nor a month. And if time be needed to train drivers of army trucks, just imagine the training necessary to be come expert with a machine gun, and the larger caliber field pieces are highly delicate and intricate mach ines. And remember that this is a day of mechanics in warfare. I went to the Fair. It was about 12 miles from the center of the city and is built on a tract of twelve hund red acres, a hundred of which is filled in, or made land. Any farmer can figure out how much walking he must do to get around twelve hundred acres. I walked by the hour and rode by the hour but the end was not yet. I joined a party with a guide and we walked and rode for an hour more— and scratched it again. And then during an afternoon and two nights I walked without guides. It is worth seeing. Progress looks at you from every corner. To go thru any one of fifteen or twenty of the pincipal exhibits would justify the trip. The lighting effects were splen- did. Although I spent much time (and some money) at the Fair and would like to go to see the DuPont exhibit and hear the lectures, I was not greatly impressed by some of the most elaborate exhibits. What I en joyed most of all was outside the Fair. I went repeatedly to Rockefeller Cen ter, the group of stupendous buildings erected by John D. Rockefeller. Radio City is a part of the group. I went through the N. B. C. studios, but W. I. S. is almost as impressive. I don’t say that to suggest that our people come here in great numbers and add to the labors of this busy station; but I say seriously that if you under stood all that goes on here you will have an even clearer idea of radio than you can get by taking a studio tour in New York. The finest show I saw was not an act; it was just the daily routine of a score of men on the ground but think of the romance as they stand there watching a giant airplane come in or go out. La Guardia airfield is a station for arriving and departing planes: It is an enormous field but even now it is too small. Within an hour I saw eight or ten giant planes leave and five or six come in. Two enormous Stratoliners came in and one flew out as I stood on the observation plat form and gazed enraptured. I made two visits to this great airport. I once was stationed at a great American Airport in France—Prunieres—and have never lost the thrill which comes from watching the great planes swoop down from the skies or soar aloft in to the clouds. OCTOBER BUSY MONTH FOR THE ALERT FARMER Besides the usual harvesting of the main crops there is plenty of import ant work to do in October, says Coun ty Agent P. B. Ezell, making these timely suggestions: Agronomy Start now saving stable manure for next year’s crops. Plant winter cover crops to reduce loss of plant food and to add nitrogen. Plant oats early for best results. Sow barley as a source of excellent food. Secure the best wheat for seeding immed lately after the first killing frost. Horticulture Select varieties adapted to your sec tion, and place order for fruit trees with a reliable nursery. 2. Cut out all dead branches on fruit trees be fore the leaves drop. Thin out young turnips, beets, kale, spinach, and let tuce to hasten developmeit. 4 Gather green tomatoes just before frost and store in a cool place, even half-grown ones will ripen. If the supply of greens is limited, plant immediately some seven-top turnips. Agricultural Engineering In planting small grain set fur row-openers to run approximately three inches deep. This may prevent some winter killing. Check over plows, cultivators, and other idle machin ery on the farm for needed repairs and cover all bright parts with grease to prevent rusting. Repair breaks or low places on terraces. Check fire places, chimneys, and flues for needed repairs before cold weather. Plant Diseases and Insects Treat small grain seed for smut, or plant smut-resistant oats. Select sweet potato seed from disease-free vines. Use paradichlorobenzine by October 10th to control oeachtree borer, except where it is planned to use ethylene dichloride. Harvest com early to reduce weevil infestation. Fumigate stored grain with carbon bisulfide. Requeen hives and feed bees where necessary. Continue to guard against the screwworm. WANTED—Veals, Cows and Hogs; also your Cow Hides.
