The pamphlet explains that work ers who are unemployed, or who have defense skills not being used in thefr present jobs, should register at their nearest state employment office so that their services may be imme diately available to employers with defense contracts. The Employment Service charges no fees, it adds. The attractive publication outlines the type of skills most urgently need ed by defense employers, but says that workers in all classifications, skilled and semi-skilled, should reg ister. It points out that persons whose skills have become “rusty” through non-use in recent years, and persons desiring training for skilled occupa tions, may obtain information about the courses at their local State Em ployment offices. Copies may be obtained free by writing to: South Carolina Unemploy ment Compensation Commission, Co lumbia. or by applying directly at one of its State Employment Service offices. The Employment office in Newberry is located at 1015 Caldwell street. Hare To Run For Senate Yacanc great American Miracle of our generation! More home value in the kitchen 1 More in the bathroom!

HARE Maybank on Way Home May Name Donald Russell to Office Today Washington, July 8.—Representa tive Joseph R. Bryson of Greenville is the first to formally announce that he will seek the senate seat vacated today with elevation of Senator James F. Byrnes to the United States sup reme court. In a lengthy statement, pointing to his record of more than 20 years in the state assembly and national house of representatives. Representative Bryson declared 1 , “the ambition that determined my entrance into the field of jfiiblic” was “to some day serve the people of South Caro'ma in the United States senate.” The Greenville congressman’s an nouncement came only a few hours prior to departure tonight of Gov ernor Burnet R. Maybank for Colum bia, where tomorrow he is expected to announce appointment of Donald Russell, Spartanburg attorney, to fill the interim senatorial post pending a special election which the governor must call within 30 days of formal notification of the vacancy. Whether Mr. Russell will become a candidate in the special election will doubtless depend upon the decision of Governor Maybank concerning sug gestions from several of his close friends that he, himself seek the Byrnes senatorial post during the special election campaign instead of awaiting until the 1942 primaries. The governor’s decision is also expected to influence several others who now are considering entry Into the special election contest. Representative Butler B. Hare of Saluda, told Washington newsmen he would be a candidate. James P. Rich ards of Lancaster is considered as a MODIFIED ARSENATE DUST FOR WEEVILS Farmers are reminded that straight calcium arsenate frequently produces damaging louse infestations, and those farmers desiring to use this method of control are advised to consult County Agent P. B. Ezell regarding sources of supply of a modified arsenate dust, which is said to control both lice and weevils. , The gravity of the boll weevil sit uation has been emphasized, but lit tle has been said about the cotton louse situation. Yet many farmers have complained! of lice which are generally present in most fields. When calcium arsenate has been used, it ifc hoped that the natura enemies, such a lady beetles, will hold the lice in check. Already the young of lady beetles, or black crowlers with reddish spots, are to be found in great numbers. Moreover, wasplike black parasites of the lice are getting in their deadly work. All in all, the cotton Jouse situation this year de mands extraordinary caution in us ing straight calcium arsenate dust. A modified calcium arsenate dust recently developed by the Pee Dee Experiment Station at Florence gives promise of abating the increased louse infestations that are so gen erally produced with straight calcium arsenate. This modified 1 mixture con sists of calcium arsenate, derris (the ground root of the tropical plant), and sulfur or some other inert mat erial. Lime should not be used as a diluent. Some of the modified dust contains kaolin. Kaolin is mined in South Carolina, whereas the sulfur comes from Louisiana or Texas. The county agent advises farmers to use the modified calcium arsenate likely candidate, but would not discuss his plains tonight. Both he and Hare have indicated by their actions, how ever, that they may oppose Represen tative Bryson and others who may ask to succeed Senator Byrnes. Representative Bryson declared in his format statement that during his career he had endeavored to build “a good and strong foundation upon which to stand.” His record, he said, “must speak for itself, and it is for the people of South Carolina to assess and pass judgment upon my qualifications and worthiness for election to the United States senate at this time. “My conception of duty during this grave moment of our nation’s his tory,” he continued, “is reflected by my attendance record in Congress, which for the past two years has sur passed that of 425 of the 435 members of Congrress. I can fully appreciate the anxiety and concern of every par ent during these serious times, for I am the father of five children, in cluding a son who will soon be of mil itary age.” Characterizing his “support of the president’s foreign policy and pro gram of social and economic better ment” as “wholehearted and un swerving,” he said he had “consist ently fought for “legislation provid ing “all-out national defense” and had “stood at all times behind the ad ministration in its effort to t>ring economic well being to farmers, in dustrial workers, business men and citizens of every occupation.” As an indication of his standing in the Fourth district, which he now represents, he pointed to the 1940 primaries, in which he stated he •re ceived a majority of the votes east in every one of the voting precincts of the entire district”. mixture where the weevil infestation is sufficiently heavy to justify, and suggests three or four applications at five-day intervals ,at a rate not to exceed 10 pounds per acre.
