FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1962 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE y/ Work Hard ... Be Yourself^ Young Solicitor- Elect Jones Says Is Way To Succeed. (Anderson Independent) GREENWOOD, Aug. 2—“Work hard and be yourself.” Those five words are the un complicated credo of a man who has overcome economic adversity and tough competition to become the ne*w solicitor of the Eighth Judicial Circuit in Abbeville, Greenwood, Laurens and Newber ry Counties. When he won the solicitorship in last week's primary, William T. Jones kept another date he had^ made with himself as a boy. The young Greenwood County attorney decided on a career in law and public life while he was still in high school. And by working hard and being himself he made the decision stick. While he was still in the eighth grade, financial reverses in his family forced him to work for his education. Although he spent most of his extra curricular in various jobs—sweeping the school house, working in a com pany store, and helping edit the Ware Shoals Life—he found a few spare hours for the school debating team. His abounding interest in gov ernment carried over to college where again he had to pay^iiis own way. ^ Bill Jones arrived at the Uni versity of South Carolina in the Fall of 1940 with $18 in his pocket. After he had registered, he sought out the manager of the college canteen. “I remember,” he recalled, “that I told the manager I did not come to him to ask if he had a job open. I told him in all humility that I had to have. a job. I would work anywhere, any time, at any salary he wanted to pay. On that basis he put me to work.” By the end of his freshman year, he was manager of the canteen. He had also won his first political office—president of the Freshman Class. He was car rying a full course of study as a major in political science and economics, working and actively participating in campus activities.

Bill Jones went home to Ware Shoals to work in the Riegel Textile Corporation plant. But he was moving toward his goal. The war interrupted his studies in 1942 when he enlisted in the Navy. After ten months, h© was commissioned as an ensign and at one time served in the same unit with John Bell Timmer man, South Carolina’s lieutenant governor. At war’s end he returned to college, this time to the law school at the University. He ran his first successful race for the State House of Representatives during his senior year. That was 1948. In the Fall he again went back to the University and won his degree. Two years ago, the people of Greenwood County sent Bill Jones to the House for his second term. His race for solicitor—a surpris ing race to many—is recent his tory. In one of his pieces of cam paign literature, he set out his political philosophy in the form of a poem by an unknown author. The verse read: “Dear Lord, in the battle that goes on through life, 1 ask but a field that is fair; A chance that is equal with all in the strife, A courage to strive and to dare.” Gunners sometimes object to the special archery seasons or reserves set aside for archers, saying that it makes a privileged class of them and spoils the gun hunting. It does no such thing. And there is plenty of room for both. In fact the average archer also is a gun hunter. The kill of deer by * bow hunters is small in proportion to the number of archers. Another objection—that arrows wound more than they kill—doesn’t hold water. Out door writer Bill Wolf has said “I think I would rather be hit by a bullet than any of the razor- sharp broadhead arrows.” There are two kinds of bows, straight and recurved. The tips have no curve in the straight bow; they are bent away from the archer in the recurved bow. There also are modified straight and semi-recurved bows, but these are only variations. The buyer will have to decide for himself which he wants, but many hunters prefer the straight bow although the recurve usu ally has a smoother pull. The pull or draw. Is the force in pounds required to draw a standard arrow its full length. A bow .should not be drawn be yond the length of an arrow, without an arrow on the string. Snapping a bow without an arrow is a good way to break it. The first and major mistake most persons make when buying a bow is to get one with too heavy a draw. The pull or draw depends entirely upon the indi vidual—his or her height and strength. It is a singular fact, but a deer killed with a bow hav ing a 55pound pull is just as dead as one slain with a 90 pound bow. Too heavy a draw makes for inaocuracy because the bow is inclined to wobble if the user can’t handle it. FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemaon Extension Information Specialist August 11-15 is Farm and Home Week at Clemson. It has always been a big week for farm folks. Each year has been better. And Thomas W. Mor gan, the general chairman tells me that this year will be no ex ception. A whole new department or feature has been added. It is entitled “Hobbies, Recreation, and Wildlife.” And Just about every angle of farm life will be dealt with through lectures,dem onstrations, and tours. Each county agent has been furnished a limited number of copies of the program. You can see one there. And if he does not have an extra one, you can get a copy when you arrive at Clem son. AZOTE AND SEPTON. Those sound like foreign words, azote and septon. But they aren’t. They were used here 260 years ago. That’s what nitrogen was called. I ran across them in some old literature and didn’t know what they meant. Yet they were' cur rent here before nitrogen had assumed such importance as a fertilizer ingredient. But even back when they were beginning to recognize the need for more nitrogen than was normally found in our soils. Manures were the main source of this growth ele ment they called azote and sep- ton. Dr. Hunter tells me that azote is the French word for ni trogen. But I don’t know what the word septon comes from. Three-fourths of the air we breathe is this precious growth element, nitrogen. The chemist has figured out that about 35,000 tons of it are in the air above every acre of our land and sea. Legumes trap most of earth’s supply from the air and leave it in the soil to make the bounty of growth we have here. Lightning changed some of it in the air to a soluble form that’s washed down to the land in rain and snow. And in late years the synthetic nitrogen plants have come from the hand of science. By intricate chemical .and elec trical processes, they take nitro gen from the air and fix it in compounds for farm use. And, through the ages, nitrates wrest led from the air by nature have finally found their ways into ancient, seas that later dried up, leaving the great nitrate beds of Chile. As far as we know, all of the nitrogen we have originally came from the air. With the vast storehouse of it Nature has in the air we breathe, earth is as sured of her needs of it indefi nitely. But man has to use his ingenuity to get it in the soil where growing things can use it. PLANTING TIME A month from now it will be It is difficult to advise orik the proper length. The most practi cal thing Is to-write to the manu facturer stating your height weight sex and purpose for which you want the bow. If you must economize, do it on the bow and not the arrows. The cheaper bows will shoot well if good ar rows are used, but not vice versa. The best bows are use less If the arrows are no good. A fairly good bow can be pur chased for $10, or you can ^pend $50 or more if you wish. early September. Schools will be opening again, football will be in the air, and it will be time for planting amid the harvest. Planting yes, the fall and win ter things, for both man and beast. All manner of greens for the fall and winter garden will be planted along in September. So will fall and winter livestock grazing. Green things for the fam ily diet, you’d better grow all you can. For high costs of commer cial production and distribution are bound to keep ’em high. And grazing is the cheapest livestock feed usually.' If you are a new gardener, you’d surely profit from Mr. Schi- lletter’s monthly Garden Letter. You can get it free through the mail each month upon request through your county or home a- gent. Early preparation pays In the garden. Now’s the time to start. Same for grazing. IRRIGATED PASTURE During a recent blistering hot dry spell I saw the gleam of ir rigation pipe across a beautiful green vale. And contented cattle rested on the -heavy sod made cool by the refreshing water from a creek. It was the only lush green pas ture I saw on that trip across the state. And I thought of irrigation results I had seen at the Florida Experiment Station at Ona. Un improved range made 13 pounds of cattle gain per'acre. Improved pasture there produced about 27P pounds of gain. And where irri gation was added to that the an nual gain shot up to over 1,000 pounds of beef per acre. Clemson has grazing experiments with ir rigation, too. Last Year, for some reason that we do not fully know the difference wasn’t so great. But that experiment is being con tinued this year. Other examples of irrigated grazing that I've seen have paid handsomely. 1 BACK HOME . . . This is the first action shot of Maureen (Little Mo) Connolly, U.

But there was one we were a- fraid to smell as kids. It was the chinaberry. Spring was naturally the time for dysentery. And it frequently came about the time the china- berry was in bloom. So the dark ies laid it to them. This superstition was well es tablished being handed down from one generation to the nexL And since some of our most cherished playmate* were the little colored children, we learned it from them. We were sorry. about this, for those chinaberry blooms were so abundant, fragrant, and we thought beautiful too. But we gave them a wide berth. And If we had to pass one of those trees when it was in bloom, we held our noses tight and ran by. But even though this tree ser ved us ho useful purpose in bloom, a few weeks later its bounty made us glad and we climbed in it much. For it was then that the berries had gotten big enough to shoot good in pop guns. We would get in nearby trees and have war with them. And often we would pick pockets full of them and go down and have land battles with them, too. This season of delight didn’t last long, though. Those berries grow mighty fast. Soon the seed starts hardening in them. And then you are through with your pop-guns for the season. For that big seed will split your barrel. But that didn’t matter much. For maypops were getting some size then. And we could throw them in oiir battles. ' No, there was never a dull time in the life of us country kids, as the seasons rolled re lentlessly on. For ,as one exper ience ripened and fell, another was budding and ready to bloom. MODERN WARRIOR . . .
