THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOaATION j m ? ? ? ? -? THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1922 Since the last issue of The County Record considerable clean ing-up has been going on in Kingstree and the rough has probably been reached and scratched. The bulk of the town's filth and rubbish will be reached in time, we think. Last Friday and Saturday the Boy Scouts turned to and removed the piles of filth and rubbish that had beei cleared up around various premises. Wagons arc: still employed carrying off such jui:k as has been placed where it is easily accessible. We verily believe that the town is being renovated and what we want is a board of health that will keep up the work whenever and wherever necessary and if the board is not supported in its work by the towns oinciais, it a<u> <* recourse. Health Officer Kinder has already destroyed a number of open closets the past week and has had quite a number of sanitary or fly prcof closets contructed, others are underway. Street paving work will be completed today. The last'cf the asphalt will be put down at the corner of School and Kelley streets, near where the mixing plant is located. We are lather sorry that the work is through. Wo ha\ - gotten acquainted with Messrs Adams and Evans, the contractors, and also with Mr. Walch who has been in charge of the v/ork here since it was started, rlso a number of other gentlemen connected with the different departments of the work, in one way or another. They are all fine fellows and have made warm friends here. We are sorry to see them leave and for this reason we feel a tinge of regret over the completion of the work. How soon we forgot the disadvantages we have had to undergo while our streets ware torn up anc impassable.

France and England fought many years before it was finally determined that England should control the North American continent. France secured and utilized the aid end assistance of the Indians 'n these Colonial Wars. Fighting civilized troops with this French and Indian mixture brought about many barbarities for which the historian finds it hard to forgive France. However, the treatment the English accorded the Acarians, fifty two of whom finally found homes in Vw'noa PraXanVVa Pariah nrPVMltS the English from "tilting about" French conduct in that period. The greater part of the fighting in these English, French and Indian Wars was done in the North, about the Great Lakes and a'ong the St. ' Lawrence river. However, in 1759, the Cherokees broke out against the English in South Carolina, and South Carolina pacified them wihtin three months. In 1742, a number of the citizens cf Williamsburg petitioned the King for the redress cf many grievances, reciting among other things, that they ttood ready at all times to serve His Majesty and fight his battles. It is very interesting to read the names of the sons and grandsons of these petitioners among those who answered the first roll call for service that the King made. Conspicuous among them: Captain William Scott and his first sergeant, Alexander Scott, sons of John, and brothers of John and Joseph Scott of the War of the' 9 I t ^ Revolution; Captain David Anderson, son of John, and a captain of the Revolution; Hugh Ervin, colonel and second in command of Marion's men; Roger McGill, son of Hugh, and father of Samuel McGill, of the Revolution; James Gordon, son of Roger and soldier under Marion; Aaron Frierson, son of Aaron, and brother of Captain William Frierson and Lieutenant John Frierson of the Revolution. Here are the rolls of these two companies of ancient Williamsburg Indian fighters: Captain William Scott, Sergeant Alexander Scott, privates George Davis, Thomas Davis, Matt Young, John Anderson, John Garrison, James Barr, George Whitby, Robert Wilson, George Crawford, John McNelly, Samuel Ervin, Hugh Ervin, and Samuel Ford (.deserted), Captain David Anderson, Ensign Robert Lewis, Sergeant Thomas Hume, Privates Peter Mallet, William Grimes, Thomas Dial, Joseph Chandler, Roger McGill, Charles McCoy, Thomas Player, Thomas Newman, John Rowell, John Cannady, James Ferdon, John Mcintosh, John DuBose, John Lloyd, Thomas Commander, Daniel Butler, John Bradley, Aaron Frierson, James Armstrong, William Westberry, Sylvester Dunn, Nathaniel Pygott, Stephen Motte, James Berwick, James' Gordon, Henry Price, Daniel Bluset, Alexander Chosv.ood and John DuBush. ^ Some Things to Do this Month. Spray roses fcr leap blight and mildew with the following: One ounce potassium sulphide to 3 gallons of water, 1 ounce cf mild soap to each gallon of the solution will make the liquid adhere to the plants. Metal containers must not be used in mixing the spray. This spray will control mildew, leaf spot and leaf blotch or insects that are eating the foliage. Preserve a few eggs for home use while they are cheap and easy to get To preserve 15 dozen eggs in water glass, select a 5 gallon crock (earthen or stone) and clean it thoroughly, then scald and allow to dry. Heat 10 to 12 quarts water to the boiling ? " * * 1 Tin l pint, ana aiiow 10 cooi. mien cuoi measure out 9 quarts of water, place ir the crock, and add 1 quart of sodium silioate (commonly called water glass), which can be purchased at any drug store. Stir well so that the solution is thoroughly mixed eggs can be put in one at the time while they are fresh. Do net put in any stale, dirty or cracked eggs. Be sure that the solution covers the eggs by atleast 2 inches at all times. Keep crock in cool, dry place and cover j with tight lid or waxed paper to prevent evaporation. This is one of the best growing months in the year for chicks. Dust all hens and chicks with good insect powder. Pay particular attention to head lice that may be cn baby chicks. Provide chick size charcoal and ground bone or meat scraps in the mash hopper, feed when practical. Sour miik should be fed constantly, it is a good substitute for meat scraps. Furnish plenty of green feed for chicks. Watch for cats, hawks and etc. Clean summer quarters at once. Spray house to kill vermin. Make spring cleaning ia poultry yard. Get your canning equipment all ready so as to be ready to start rft the beginning of the season and save all surplus fruits and vegetables for home use. Plan to bring some thing to the conmunity market every Saturday, be there and see what the other fellow is doing. MISS HATTIE J. McMURRAY, County Home Demonstration Agent, Kingstree, Couth Carolina. What Henry Ford has Done for the Sooth. A service of immeasurable value has been rendered to the South by Henry Fori. He has converted all the skeptics in the country including Congressmen, who, heretofore, have undertaken to belittle Muscle Shoals, as to the enormous value of the Tennessee river fofr transportation and for hydro-electric development. He has quickened the eagerness of all the banking interest identified with water power development and all the water power people to secure this property, which so long went a-begging because the national government under Democratic and Republican control would never recognize its full value and its illimitable potentialities for the betterment of water transportation on the Tennessee river for the i creation of hyciro-electric power, which woulo add it is safe to say, hundreds of millions of dollars to the wealth of the South, and thus to the wealth of Ihe country. The despised and neglected Muscle Shoals has now become the center of the nation's thought and Congressmen who have heretofore scouted its value have row come to a lull and frank recognition of what the utilization of this great potentiality means ! for the wealth ox the nation. Ford has been the genius who has created this new value for Muscle Shoals. If congress decides that the national government should develop I Listen to g With the wisdom of a s; g "If you do not hear Reason, g knuckles." 5 The advertising you find ft rpnt rpjicnn Trrnnre ifs me Muscle Shoals and make it a vast I nitrate center, Ford's offer will nevertheless h&vegiven to the South a greater advertisement than all the railroads and all the water power companies in this section combined have ever given it, in the way of publicity through every newspaper and in every business cffice in the iand. Moreover, if Muscle Shoals is de\ eloped by the government for vast ritrate-making interests, Ford's interest in the South has become so great that it is possible his activities may be centered upon other great hydro-electric potentialities of which there are many not yet utilized. His attention we know has been called to some of the larger opportunities awaiting development, and with his enthusiasm for water power and with his realization of the South's vast resources and of its enormous possibilities for carrying on his present activities as well as for the development of the things which he anticipated doing at Muscle Shoals, there may come out of this whole agitation some few movements which will stimulate the larger utilization of Southern water powers now lying idle. The attention of others, too, will be centered upon these possibilities, and the South to a larger extent than for many years will now become the focusing point for the thought and the energy of the capitalistic interests of the entire country. We repeat, Henry Ford has rendered the South a sendee of immeasurable value in forcing congress to recognize and utilize Muscle Shoals. A Thought Stimulator. It is interesting to note that some of the most important news and editorials of the day are to be found in the advertising columns of the newspapers. Time was when an individual or an Organization with an ideal would try to convert the editor of a newspaper to the idea, and failing, the idea would die for lack of publicity. Today this individual or organization buys advertising space. This is costly. Its use is limited. But it is cheaper and more efficient than "hir;? ? ? Aii? a iiait* This advertisement recently appeared in the morning paper in twocolumn space, four inches deep: "I will pay $1,000 to anyone who will give one good reason why the revolver manufacturing industry should te allowed to exist in America and enjoy the facilities of the mails. (Signed) "Joh(n R. Thompson, "Chicago, 111." I do not have the remotest idea who Mr. Thompson is, but, speaking for the reader, I wiil say that his statement was the most thought-stimulating item in the paper. I hold no brief for or against the revolver manufacturing industry. But I do think the indiscriminate distribution of small firearms, which can be carried on the hip, is provocative of more crime and more murders than any other one thing. I worked on newspapers for several years, and I have beeu a close reader of newspapers all my life, yet I cannot recall a half dozen instances when p. householder, a oedes trian or an autorr.obilist saved himself from attack by a thug or burglar by use of a revolver. On the other hand, I have read of hundreds of citizens and policemen being shot down by youthful thugs, armed with revolvers. I have read of men* and women shooting each other in hot blood and bringing untold misery upon themselves, all of which would have been avoided had they not had these guns in their houses or on their persons. For every burglar that is shot in a home, my guess would be that twenty children and adults accidentally shoot themselves or others while tinkering with small firearms. Recently there appeared in a newspaper an advertisement telling of a revolver disguised as a small jackknife. In fact, at one end was the hinge of a blade, and at the other, the mouth of a small pistol from which a 22-caliber bullet could be discharged. The advertisement stated: "One of these pistols can be shipped you by ; mail without a permit." Why, in the name of common sense, should anyone wish, or be allowed, to carry a revolver disguised as a jackknife ? In some states it is a felony to carry a revolver without a police per- 1 mit, punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary. I hope that Mr. Thompson will stir up enough "iiscussion with his advertisement so that commerce in re- | volvers will become as circumscrib- 1 ed as commerce in such drugs as , morphine and opium. \ ? ; Card of Thanks. !
