Bible Comment:
Purging of Inner
Evils Will Brace
Us for World Role
/ jPHE Kingdom of Judah was a
small country set between the
great empires of the ancient world.
It was always in some danger from
its powerful enemies and espe
cially from their ambition for
conquest and world domination.
The life of the people and the
policy of their rulers were affected
by factors and powers outside
their own borders over which they
had little or no control.
It would seem that our great
North American democracies have
little in common with that small,
ancient country so beset with dan
ger from its powerful neighbors.
But our domestic life and our poli
cies and actions are in large meas
ure determined by conditions else
where in the world.
Despite the peaceful attitude
and achievement of the United
States and Canada, we have, with
in this 20th century, been involved
in wars that were not of our own
making. Death, suffering and trag
edy have come to our homes. We
know that we are not, and cannot
be, isolated.
What then should be our course?
If we look closely we’ll see that
there is something to be learned
on the subject from the lesson of
Israel and the fall of the Kingdom
of Judah.
Whatever safety there was for
the kingdom lay in the preserva
tion of her own integrity and
moral strength and honest dealing
with neighboring nations.
It was this that prophets, like
Jeremiah, proclaimed as the wily
right course. But neither king nor
people would listen. They turned
their own life into corruption, and
they engaged in crooked intrigues.
Instead of listening to the prophet
they cast him into a foul dungeon.
If we would heed the lesson of
Israel, we would engage all our
powers in the correction of evils
and abuses in our internal life.
Nothing would make us stronger
and wiser for the inevitable part
that we must play in world af
fairs.
Florence recently had what
looks like a record 4-H rally for
uiese parts. From every com
munity of the county they came
with their local leaders, 1,400
strong! Levon Godwin, president
of their 4-H council, presided
well over the inspirational pro
gram put on by the clubs. They
had to sit two deep where they
met. There were tears in many
eyes when County Agent Mc
Lendon announced that their be
loved assistant county agent,
Archie Odom, was leaving for
other work. But he promised to
come back and help them with
their summer camp and booth at
the fall fair.
A barbecue dinner was served
at the fair grounds, from which
several hundred dollars were net
ted for the state 4-H camp im
provement fund, according to J.
T. Rogers, district 4-H club lead-
woven wire fence and 26.8 miles
of barbed wire fence. And be
says there was a lot of fencing
in addition to this.
It strikes me that this is a
mighty constructive way for a
farm to spend its PMA allowance.
Good fences carry their dividends
on through the years in the live
stock development that's growing.
For PMA assistance, a fence
must be built right. Consult your
local committeeman and get Clem
son Agricultural Engineering Leaf
let No. 71, Better Fencing For
Better Pastures, from your county
agent before you build yours.

SMALL THINGS COUNT
Nothing looks much sorrier than
an automobile with a hub cap
off.
Or a good crop growing with
an occasional high weed stick
ing up out there in it.
Wrinkled hose on a beautiful
woman, or a gate that drags and
won’t latch.
An expensive combine left out
in the weather for the 11 months
it isn’t in use, or the fellow
who drags a plow down the hill
and starts a gully.
Fertilizer sacks thrown around
and allowed to rot, or a garden
where weeds crowd the veget
ables out
The fellow who has money for
liquor and smokes but none for a
washing machine nor to paint bis
house.
A critter suffering with a sack
for a muzzle when a dime or
quarter would get one that lets
it breathe.
A running stream by a field
where crops are parching up.
A rural church that’s allowed ^o
starve amid plenty.
•A balding man like me, need
ing a haircut. .
Enough of that for now.
Coastal Bermuda grass is giv
ing good results even on light
sandy lands. Cal Peeples, who
used to be onr soils man, tells
me that it is tops on light sandy
land for cattle in BeauforL And
County Agent Cain of Calhoun
says it has done well on light
land for Dr. Raysor there. They
have made a good many plantings
of it on other forms this spring.
And, of course, it likes good
land too.

GREENWOOD 4-H CALF SHOW
They had 67 head of nice fat
steers at the Greenwood area 4-H
show and sale back in April.
Prices were off, and net returns
were disappointing. But that too
teaches the youngsters a valuable
lesson. For when they get on
their own as farmers they need
to know the hard fact that disap
pointments lie in that road too,
as well as in all others. We must
just do the best job we possibly
can. And then when prices are
low, maybe we can still come
out. When the price break is
good‘then, we can rack up some
profits.
The counties of Greenwood,
Newberry, and Laurens took part
in this show. The 4-H fat stock
shows have done a lot to blaze
the way for the cattle develop
ment we now see growing over
the state. For there is where
many a farmer saw his first real
ly fat beef cattle.

BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
New things were a bit slow
to get back in our stone bills.
So I came along there before the
muzzle-loading gun had gone.
The old long-barreled, big-
hammered gun stood on the floor
in a corner behind the clothes
closet door to the left of the fire
place. And above it from a
nail hung the powddr horn, shot
flask, paper wadding, and box
of caps in the bunting sack.
The gun was kept loaded for
emergencies, for it took time to
do that And the hammer was
pulled back till it clicked once.
It was on safety there. But two
clicks meant it was fully cocked
for business.
My brother was an expert shot
with that gun. He loaded it to
suit the Job. Squirrel in high
trees called for larger shot and
morq powder, while birds on the
wing called for finer shot that
would scatter. Sometimes those
old guns would fail to fire, just
popping a cap on the fuse that
stuck out about a half inch. It
was hollow and led down in the
barrel to the powder. To make
sure, we would usually pack a lit
tle fine powder down in that
fuse.
In the earlier days our folks got
their shot from across the creek
a piece, where a venerable old
man of the back country ran a
crude store. He had heard in
his youth that “a pint is a pound
the world around,” and believed
it implicitly. He had no scales.
So he used a pint measure for
the few things that needed mea
suring or weighing. He applied
that to shot too. That made
it a big bargain, for a pint of
shot weighed several pounds. The
thrifty men of the stone hills
were not long in putting him out
of the shot business. He said
somehow or other they Just
wouldn’t measure out, and it puz
zled him.
