BUT INTERESTING “I am very grateful/’ said William Lyon Phelps, “for the opportunity to have lived. I know the world is full of sin. trouble, pain, and sorrow, but it is a very interesting world. Heretofore Uncle Sam has ex tended his opponents the court esy of the first blow but has managed to pick himself up and land the knockout punch. The trouble with that system is that luck may run out on him some time.—Greenville News VOL. 13—NO. 1* NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1950 FARMS AND FOLKS FREE WINTER GRAZING County Agent King of Dor chester tells me that B. W. Hog ers seeded 15 acres to rye grass for grazing last fall. It gave him fine grazing during the win ter and spring. And then he combined an average of 300 pounds of seed per acre from it. This seed crop more than paid all the cost of that grazing. Our pasture men, Woodle and Craven, tell me that this isn’t unusual. This is a case of sort of eat ing your cake and having it too. Now is the time to start seed ing this and other winter graz ing crops. You might do well to talk with your county agent about what’s best in your case. Good winter grazing isn’t pos sible over much of this country. It is easily possible here. Now is the time to bestir yourself if your stock is to have it. And our livestock leader, A. L. Du Rant; dairy leader, C. G. Cush man; and poultry leader, P. H. Goodling, all testify to its value in economically carrying healthy livestock and poultry. The slogan for South Carolina is “A Blanket of Green’’ for this winter. And the way it looks now, we will come nearer having that than ever before. HISTORIC ROOM I had seen that monument at a street fork in Abbeville. But never -stopped to see what it was. When I was with County Agent Bull there recently, he took me to the home of a venerabl citi zen who read my stuff and want ed to see me. It was J. S. Stark, who is mighty alert and active for his 90 years. And he lives in the house that the monument marked. In that spacious old Southern ! chatted very pleasantly an hour with that grand old gentleman whose accurate mem ory is linked with so much of our past. And we sat in the very room where Jefferson Davis on May 2, 1865, had held his last cabinet meeting. There it was decided, according to record, that it was useless to continue the conflict further. And that’s what the monument marks. He told me many of his in teresting experiences .clear hack to the time Sherman’s soldiers came to their door, and his moth er was so afraid. He can just remember that. I liked the one about the Negro tenant on his place. They had a bad crop year and most of the tenants could not pay out This old fellow had been with him for many years. It was only him and his wife, no children. So on the bad crop year they fell behind most on account of short labor. Mr. Stark said he figured he’d have to make a few changes; so he told this fellow he would have to go. He said no, he wasn’t going to move that year. That sounded like impudence, but was not, for then the old fellow said, “I didn’t owe you anything when I came here and I ain’t gi owe you nuttin when I leave.” Well, that was different, and he let him stay. The next year he made a good crop and paid out everything. Then he asked Mr. Stark, “Do you stiil want me to leave?” To which Mr. Stark replied, H , no, man. Go on back home and get to work.” GREAT WEEVIL FIGHT We faced a weevil fight that looked almost hopeless this year. As late as mid-June, more weevils came out of winter hiding at Clemson’s Florence Station in a weeke than had ever come out during the whole season on any year before! We had a pretty effective rem edy in the various poisons. But the problem was, could we get widespread and effective use of them? All agencies and interested groups in the state rallied to a call by the State Agricultural Committee early in the year. It was decided to wage a relentless campaign of weevil control in an attempt to save the cotton crop from this unprecedented weevil situation. Director Watkins of the Clemsou Extension Service was appointed chairman of this special cotton committee. That committee saw almost constant activity throughout the season. And local committees in the counties were also very active. The result was a widespread use of poisons on cotton. In Florence, for instance, County Agent McLendon says, “More farmers generally say the poison is doing the work and our obser- Tations confirm this.” JOE PURCELL IS BACK IN SERVICE Lt. Cmdr. Charles J. Purcell, USNR, son of Mrs. C. J. Pur cell and the late Col. Charlie Purcell of this city, has re ported to duty as Sixth Naval district driector of welfare, re lieving Comd. F. J. Lea Mond, USNR. who was detached Fri day for duty in the Pacific area. After attending The Citadel, Lieutenant Commander Purcell I entered the navy in 1939, taking flight training at NAS Pensa cola. Fla., wheie he was selected number one cadet (regimental commander of cadets). He re ceived his naval aviator wings and was instructor for two years. In 1942, he took special train ing at Norfolk, Va., qualifying as a captain of four engine sea- planes. He then had duty at Dinner Key. Miami, with opera tions in the Carribean and to South America. Two years later, he joined VR-2 at Alameda. Cali fornia. flying the Pacific runs as captain on the Mars:— the Navy’s giant seaplane, and serv ed as flight operations officer of VR-2. In 1946 he took over the train ing of crews to man the Her- ctilus, the eight engined sea plane of Howard Hughes. This plane has accomodations for 900 fully equipped troops. The next year he made test flight on the Constitution, the largest trans port ever flown. He also served as acceptance officer for the navy’s carrier-based bombers, the Neptune type, of which the Truculent Turtle was an ex ample. His campaign ribbons include the American and Asiatic- Pacific theaters. Going on in active duty in 1948, for the last two years he has been flying for commercial lines as captain, between Miami and Vennezuela. He returned to active duty early in August, 1950 and his present assignment is his first duty since that time. Commander Purcell with his wife and two daughters, are liv ing at apartment 16-A, Amelia drive, Shoreview apartments, in Charleston. T.W.U.A. LOCAL MEETS Mollohon T. W. U. A. Local Union No. 324 will hold its regu lar semi-monthly meeting Sunday afternoon, September 10th, at 3:00 p.m. in the Mollohon School building. All members are expected to attend. Other counties report similar results. Now soon we can judge for ourselves just how effective a widespread us of poison has been. We can do that by observ ing the fields we pass, and we can also do it by watching the lines of waiting vehicles at the gin.-’. For, if we make a good cotton crop this year, that’s something! BOYS ARE THAT WAY As a kid, I was always fasci nated by insects. Specially ants. Where the cotton was high enough so the others couldn’t see me, I would stop picking and sit there in the middle and watch ants. You might interpert that more as laziness than in terest in ants, and you might be right. But I did find them in teresting a lot more than picking cotton. I would kill a grasshopper, lay it near their hill, and watch them work on it. What strength those little things have. Five or six of them would team together and drag a grasshopper that must have weighed a hundred times as much as one of them. It was about equal to that many men dragging a large elephant. And I w'ould put a piece of trash in the opening of an ant hill. And there too I w r ould see prodigious feats of strength displayed. One ant can carry a piece of leaf or small stick that must weigh many times what it does. Sometimes I got real mean and would level the ant hill. They really went to work then. And they worked as systematical ly as well trained engineers. They would get the small lumps of dirt out of the way. Then they would team up on the larg er ones and pieces of gravel and roll them clear out of the way. And those trapped inside soon met those working from the out side. In a little while they had their mound back in order and thigs were normal again. By that time it w r as usually getting late, and we would head for home in a little while. They hadn’t gotten much work out of me. But I had enjoyed a grand play of my imagination. And I am still sure that some of earth’s most interesting chapters could be written about these won derful little insects, if we could but unlock the secrets of their organization, intelligence, and power. NOW POSSIBLE TO ENJOY INFIRMITY Chicago. Sept. 5—A physician told today of chemical magic that abolishes sickness. w r hile you still have a disease. The magic is in the hormones cortisone and ACTH. They are famed for bringing relief of pain in rheumatoid arthritis. But the wonder hormones have a far greater medical signifiance, Dr. Peter II Forsham of Harvard University medical school told the American Chemical Society. With them, physicians have a chance to abolish the distress and symptoms of disease at will, and give you a beter chance to fight disease, he said. In pneumonia, invading germs produce a violent infammatory reaction in your lungs. Fluid and pus flood the delicate air spaces, breathing comes hard, and you run a high fever. “On ACTH or cortisome, the entire reaction will vanish. And while pneumococci (germs) still crowd the lung, the cells no long er react to them. It is obvious that sickness has been abolished while the disease is still pre-. sent,” Dr. Forsham said. Conquest of the disease, aside from help of antibiotics depends upon the build-up of antibodies, which will arise within 10 days. Whether or not you received the hormone. The hormone spares you pain and debilitation. “In fact,’’ said Dr. Forsham. “any of the acute and some of the chronic diseases with an in flammatory or allergic back ground are thus controlled.” The hormones have stopped in fections or allergic conditions of the eye in their tracks before they could damage the eye or cause blindness, he added. In one eye disease, sympathicoph- thalmia, injury to one eye leads to an allergic flare-up in the other eye, and may blind it, too. But the hormone protects the good eye until the injured one is healed. A strangling form of asthma can choke you to death, by con struction of sensitized bronchiol es, or thin air passages. ACTH stops the reaction, and lets the passages expand again. When body cells are injured by invasion of germs or other substances, they usually react violently and in self-destruction fashion, Dr. Forsham explained. But the hormones slow dowm or prevent this reaction. They do it by increasing production of compound F, a hormone from the covering of the adrenal gland, ly ing over the kidney. The hormones can cure diseas es w'hich are self-limited, like rheumatic fever, or those caused by outside influences, like pollen in the air, which later disappear, he said. But in other diseases, where the stimulus keeps on, the hormones bring only tempor ary relief, while they’re being given. The wonder hormones speed wound healing, slow down the rate of bodily processes by act ing on the thyroid gland, but at the same time increase brain activity and usually give a sense of well-being, Dr. Forsham added. Injuries are more likely to be localized, because the hormone works against a chemical that allow T s harmful agents to spread among body cells. Tlje stomach juice, pepsin, is increased, lead ing to better digestion of body building food. “The opportunity of abolish-, ing the manifestations of disease at will has opened a new,era in medicine, in which the adrenal cortex (outer covering of the ad renal gland) will play a major role,” Dr. Forsham said. WEST END MILL TO ADD LOOMS Newberry Mills will add A complete unit of 240 looms at the West End plant, bringing the total to 1,249 operating looms, James E. Britt, manager, has an nounced. y The additional looms will get into operation about the middle of September Mr. Britt estimat ed. The mills will continue tii> operate as a 50,000 spindle unit although the added (looms will have a 50,512 spindle capacity, the mill official said. The new unit will create ■ about 100 new jobs, causing approximately 125 extra em ployees to be hired, with *: yearly payroll increase of a quarter of a million dollars, Mr. Britt said the additional employees would be chosen from those residing in ths village as far as possible. Newberry Mills is also paint ing the mill-owned houses, in- tailing a Parks-Cramer cleaning system in the spinning room, putting in fluorescent lighting throughout the mill, and plans to paint the entire mill as soon as possible. ALDERMAN DENIES HE WAS IN CLAN PARADE Alderman Cecil Kinard has re* quested this newspaper to say that he was not the leader of the Klan parade in Newberry sev eral nights ago. Not only was he not the leader but was not even a member of the motorcade, Mr. Kinard says he was dishing out hot dogs to hungry customer* at his place on Senn street when the Kluxers staged their show. At least five people, some of which were co-workers, would testify to his whereabouts when he was supposed to be leading the parade, Mr. Kinard said.Liid^ ing him with the parade was nd ing an Oldsmobile equipped a siren. Mr. Kinard drives sue a car with such equipment. SOUTHERN PINE BRINGS $107 M ATLANTA, Sept. 5—The lum ber agency of the Corps of En gineers began a three day auc tion today to buy up 65,000,000 board feet of lumber. \ The lumber is needed to re plenish stockpiles used up in the shipment of war supplies and equipment to Korea. Lumber Agency Chief Jesse Campbell re ported. Total amount of money involv ed in the auction, he added, will be about $10,000,000 including shiping costs. It is the largest auction since World War II days, he said. Most of the orders are for No. 2 Southern pine. Prices are ranging from $90 to $107 per thousand, depending on delivery charges to point of destination. The prices are about in line with the normal prevailing market, Campbell said.

LiEUT PARKS LANDS IN TOKYO, JAPAN 2ND. Lieut. Howard Parks, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Parks, Fair Avenue,* landed in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday, August 26th, where he is stationed with the infantry. Lieutenant Parks was a mem ber of the 1950 graduating class at West Point. JAMES LEAVELL IMPROVING James R. Leavell’s condition is much improved, and he is now able to take nurshment. He is doing so well that he expects to return to his home on College street in about two weeks. Mr. Leavell suffered a cerebal hemorrhage about ten days ago. The modern deep freeze is a great tio'on to a sportsman. He no longer has to eat venison or duck or fish for days in a row. Now he can enjoy the meat and the thrill of hs days afield weeks later. But too many fo us fail to pre pare fish and game properly and are disappointed to bite into un- tasty meat. So here are some suggestions for freezing: Immediately after your game is bagged, bleed it, then dress it as soon as possible. Big game should be aged to make it ten der; keep it for 8 to 10 days at a few degrees above freezing. Game birds should be cleaned and plucked—the wax method is best. Wash all meat thoroughly in cold running water. In the case of fish, keep them in water as long as possible before you clean and freeze them. Try to freeze fish the same day they’re caught. You can use cellophane, plas tic bags or aluminum foil for packaging; a stockinette over this keeps the package in better shape. Label with the kind of meat, date of catch, hunting li cense number and the freezing date. When first put in the freez er, leave some air space between packages. Game fish, birds and meat are thawed and cooked the same as domestic varieties. However, game should not be held, after thawing, for any great length of time before cooking. It takes about >two hours per pound to thaw meat at room tem perature. If you’re in a bigger hurry, it takes 45 minutes per pound in front of an electric fan. If placed in a warm oven, at 200 to 250 degrees, it takes only 25 minutes per pound. Uncooked meats should never be refrozen. Cooked meats can be refrozen for two to four weeks. Be sure and keep the meat in its un opened package while thawing so it will not be exposed to air and possibly become tainted. Cook and season thawed game and fish the same way you would fresh foods. Now here are a few additional hints: large game should be butchered the same as beef. Tough portions of venison may be ground and mixed with pork or veal for meat balls; it also makes fine mince meat. When it is frozen, ground meat will keep for four to six months; liver, heart and kidney for three to six months. Lean fish can be stored for six • to eight months, the most fatty fish no longer than three to four months. The big thing to remember is that your meat will be only as good as the condition it is in when you freeze it f/Uto report to Columbia to- (Friday) for a physical ex- .tion.

ELBERTON, a., Sept. 3—A calf that sold for 25 cents in February brought $108.75 at the livestock auction last week. The calf was only a week old when sold in February, and George Summers offered 25 cets for it. more in a jest than anything else, and found himself with the calf on his hands. However, he turned right around and doubled his money on it by selling to Buford Eaton for 50 cents. Mr. Eaton carried the animal home and turned it over to one of his cows. When t was sold last week the calf weighed 500 pounds and brought $21.75 per hundred-weight.
