It strikes me that a must on
every place is a ladder.
What if the cat, even, gets up
on the roof? You can’t let him
i
starve there.
But there is a more serious pur
pose. Suppose a spark catches
the dry shingles or the accumu
lated leaves in a gutter Up there.
I saw that happen twice. Once
to a fine old schoolhouse. Teach
ers and pupils had to simply stand
there and watch it burn, when a
bucket of water at the right spot
would have put it out when it was
first detected. The other case was
an old home in the Low Country.
I was county agent there and was
talking with a farmer in the field
in November. We noticed a wisp
of smoke from a side of the old
mansion where it should not have
been. We hurried there. A ladder
was handy. And a few buckets of
water saved the beautiful old land
mark. Many of them In the past
have gone in similar fashion where
there was no ladder handy.
Yes, a handy t ladder is mighty
important to a property owner.
And one long enough to reach
the roof, and light enough for one
man to handle is the sort to have
too.
COUNTY FEEDER CALF SALE
County Agent McComb tells me
Orangeburg is having its first
feeder calf sale on Friday, Nov.
6. They plan to sell at least 360
spring calves. They will be graded
into uniform lots by the livestock
specialists and there you can get
just the type feeders you like,
one or many. This event is being
sponsored by the County Farhi
Bureau and the livestock special- 1
ists of Clemson are helping. They
plan to make it an annual event
in their growing beef cattle busi
ness there in that farming empire
of Orangeburg.
Full details may be secured
from County Agent J. C. McComb,
Orangeburg.
WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT
I’ve told you about the com
munity in Cherokee county that
had undertaken a 100-percent soil
and water conservation program
on an entire little watershed there
embracing some thirty-odd farms.
When I rode over it with County
Agent Lee and SCS technician
Sam Wolfe they had already made
material progress.
Now a larger experimental
watershed improvement project is
being undertaken in the Twelve-
Mile Creek watershed of Pickens
county. This is being jointly fi
nanced by local and federal funds.
The local soil conservation district
supervisors and agency workers
will assist in planning and carry
ing out the full conservation pro
gram in the area drained by
Twelve-Mile Creek. This job is to
be scientifically handled and com
pleted in five years.
Knowing that area, I’m sure
they could have found none with
a greater need for full conserva
tion. For that stream’s entire bot
tom is a moving batter of silt and
red soil from the hills it drains.
And its heavily laden water pol
lutes the clear Keowee River
where they meet and form the
Seneca. To clear that stream up
by applying the full practical
know-how of conservation to its
basin will be an accomplishment
not that can be done remains to
be seen. But any intelligent ef
forts towards that end are sure
ly to be applauded and watched
with keen interest.
ON OUR WAY
In 1930 the average income of
us living in Sduth Carolina was
only about a third of the national
average. Last year it had doubled
to two-thirds the national aver
age, according to figures furnish-
Last week I told you about my
And in 1930 our average in
come was only 76 percent of that
for the whole Southeast. But last
year this figure had grown to 98
percent.
So, you see, we have made great
progress. We had so far to go
that there is still room for im
provement. And practically every
succeeding year shows further
progress towards that end.
From the very ashes of war 88
years ago, we were wedded to the
one cash crop, cotton, which held
body and soul together through
the trying decades. But our lands
became eroded and our people im
poverished: Late years have seen
ability come to the hands of the
farmer, a new and diverse agricul
ture grow in the fields, and a help
ful industrialization come into the
life pf the state. And now we be
gin to see some of the fruits of a
kindly soil and climate showing
up. And we are just good started!

being allowed to take the old
wood-burning train to Columbia
to do some shopping for the fam
ily occasionally when I was quite
young.
After attending to those duties,
I usually had an hour or so to kill
before the return train left at five.
So those hours were spent back
there on Assembly Street where
a street hawker sold his wares.
I can see him now, with his
large valise open and supported by
a tripod of legs and under a large
buggy-type umbrella. He stood on
a box so as to command his crowd.
He would start something like
this: “Come right up, folks. I
won't bite you,’ but I’m going to
practically give you a lot of valu
able things. But to start with, let’s
get acquainted. I’m Bill, cheap
Bill, from Lemon Hill, this side of
Yorkville. I never worked and
never. will. You will wonder how
I am able to sell all of these
things so cheap. Well, I’ll let you
in on a secret. I have a brother
that steals ’em.”
-And on and on he would go,
very entertaining to me. He would
describe a cheap gadget of some
sort, as he opened the little carton
and unwrapped it. He would tell
of the .wonderful things it would
do. And he would lay it out there
in front where all could see it. He
would start by saying it was worth
a half dollar. And then, “But so
help me bob if I won’t do it, I’m
going to let you have It not for a
quarter, half its value, but for a
thin dime, only a fraction of its
cost. And, hold a minute, what’s
this i (as he unwrapped another
item)? So help me boh if I won’t
do it, I’ll add that to it top. And
here, look, a . pewter bird that
will sing if you put water in it;
that goes too. And here, a ten-
cents handkerchief to wrap it all
up in. Now, so help me bob if I
don’t do it, the first person that
slips me a thin dime for all this
handful of stuff, it’s yours, just
like I said it was.” And on and on
he would go, never pausing for a
word.
I would stand near the back of
the group gathered there so he
wouldn’t embarrass me by pok
ing a handful of stuff at me. For
I had already eaten my dime up
with a hamburger and a milkshake
up on Main street.
But “Cheap Bill from Lemon
Hill” was long a favorite of mine

in particular who Is always flying

so long it finally reached the ex
ploding point with mo.
“You’re s 16-rule guy,” says I
the other day at the coffee club.
That's where about 50 of us gather
each morning at 10 o’clock.
“Whatcha mean, 16-rule guy.”
says he.
“You just talk and never do any
thing," says L “You don’t attend
meetings, but if you do, you arrive
late. You always leave early. You
never have anything to say unto
you get out on the street corner.
When the meeting is over you find
fault with the officers and mem
bers. You vote for everything, but
do nothing. You never 'have time
to help carry out plans. You won’t
be an officer of any club. If some
thing happens you don’t like you
are always threatening to resign.
Want me to go on with the rest
of the 16-rule of how to kill an
organization or a town?”
“Why you big bum,” says he.
“Never do anything, do I? How
about this?’’
With that ho leans across the
table and plants his big fist in my
eye. When I picked myself up he’s
gone.
As the rest of the guys dust me
off and help me back to the office.
Joe, my friend says to me:
“There’s one rule you forgot to
tell the bum. Never talk too much!’’
