C., un der act of March 3rd, 1878. 36,000 AUTOMOBILE ^MURDERS" The President of the United States, in letters to the Governors of the 48 states, has urged the en actment of uniform refutation of traffic, and intensified safety edu cational campaigns. There is no good argument against uniform traffic legislation and reg ulation in the face of the fact that, the killing record of automobiles last year touched the 36,000 mark. Think of it! Thirty-six thousand lives snuffed out by automobiles in one year. Why should there be any argument about uniform traffic laws and the need of cooperation be tween states to eliminate such a dis . graceful record as this t Take a specific example: Why should one city be allowed, as at present, to maintain three different types of "stop" signals at intersec tions, thus confusing both its own drivers and" those from others states? Legislators could work on a "life saving" program such as this to the benefit of every man, wom an and child in the country. LET IT COME THROUGH Disappearing foreign trade has been one ol' the most difficult of problems during late years. Last year an effort to solve it was made by passing legislation whereby the President was empowered to enter into reciprocal trade agreements with foreign powers, under which each country would agree to grant the other favors. Secretary of State Hull is heart and soul in favor of these treaties he wants all foreign nations not dis criminating against American pro ducts, to have equal advantages in trading with us. He is opposed to trade quotas, regimentation and sim ilar barriers to the free flow of pro ducts. Opposed to this is George Peek, special White House Advisor on for eign trade?and the clash between the views of Messrs. Peek and Hull has, according to ^Business Week, "blocked the whole progress of ex port recovery." Mr. Peek stands for government barter, with ironhanded regimentation of both imports and exports. A short time ago business men were elated at an authoritative re port that the President has finally decided against Mr. Peek, and for Mr. Hull. He will throw his weight behind reciprocal trade agreements, not barter. Thus, the chances are that strong efforts will soon be made to bring trade back, now that a course of ac tion has been decided upon. If those efforts succeed, many hundreds of millions of dollars will come from foreign shores to tinkle in American cash registers. * ,? ft > MACCLESFIELD NEWS (By MRS. G. W.

McMath, who has exten-l aive farming interests in Sumter j County, Georgia, writes: j "Some years ago, during a veryl short feed crop year, the writer and I his father discussed the possibility j of feeding cotton seed meal and .hulls I to the work stock on our farms. Wei decided to try a ration "of five hulls,! one cotton -seed meal, one wheat bran, with a little salt thrown in. As soon as the mules and horses j were eating this mixture with relish, I we discontinued the use of wheat! bran, but continued the use of meal! and hulls for the balance of that! crop year. Since that time, we place! daily, 1 1-2 to 2 pounds of cotton! seed meal per mule . in the feed J troughs an which -about .25 mules are I fed. It is distributed Qver the corn j on the cob. The next morning the! meal has disappeared. The mules I aer in good condition, sleek and! sjlossy, and this method of feeding* is much cheaper. The protein content of cotton seed I meal is much higher than corn, and! does not make the stock pant and blow or perspire during the hot sum mer months as stock will do that are fed on corn alone with hay." Minutes of the Farm- I ville Rotary Club (Continued from page one) ington is the Potomac Canal, one I mile long, with 5 locks, built in 1786 J to pass boats around the Great Falls I if the Potomac River. It was re-1 paired sufficiently to preserve it fori the 20t>th anniversary of the birth if Washington. Washington's great love and re-l >pect for his mother was expressed I in his own words: "My mother was the most beautiful woman I everl saw" and "All I am I owe to my Mother." He was very fond of children and :hroughout his life he adopted or as sumed the expense of no less than! pine children. His kindness to the poor express-1 id itself hi many ways, a free fish-1 ing station on the Potomac and the rule of filling one barn of corn ivery year for the poor. Today at Mt. Vernon many prec ous old plants are still thriving, I boxwood hedges which Washington! planted, "a rose hedge sent to Martha I from North Carolina is still loom ng and a magnolia LaFayette plant-1 id in J 824. Another treasure is a :weet shrub (sweet Betsy) planted by Thoihiis Jefferson. The restoration of Washington's I birthplace at Wakefield has caused i great deal of Architectural re search. One thing was positive, the louse was built of hand-made bricks I leld together with oyster shell mor ,or, oyster shells will be dredged | rrom Pope's Creek to make the mor-1 :or. j ^A. guest at Washington's home de scribes his two-day visit as the 'rich est days in my life." Washington could not conceal his leep emotion when he came to bid lis officers farewell at Faunce's Tavern. He stood with tears in his jyes and not a sound broke the sil ence as the company filed out to bid lim a mute farewell when he enter ed the barge to leave. Washington's- Words of Wisdom Much wisdom is crowded into the >rief maxims Of Washington. Here ve may list only a- few; "Knowledge in every country is he surest basis of public happiness. "To be prepared for war is one of he most effectual means of preserv ng peace. "The- power under the Constitution .vill always . be in the people. "The tumultuous populace of large cities are ever to be dreaded. "In every act' of my administra tion I haVe sought the happiness of ny fellow citizens. "It should be the policy of United America to administer to the wants . 'it dther nations, without being en raged irt their quarrels. "It will not be doubted that, with 'eference either to individual or na ional welfare, agriculture is of pri nary importance." Many mote facts concerning the ife of Washington, interesting and historical, have been written but it b impossible to relate' them all so 1 vill conclude with the stories a&rat jis punctuality.' -Washington was -never late; he would not wait but 5 minutes for Quests at dinner. Four, o'clock was iis dinner hour. Sometimes guests vho did not know hk habits arrived vhen-dinnfcvwas half over, he was tpt to remark^ ? .-"Gentlemen, we are mnctUal here; my cook never asks whether the eompany has arrived but whether the hour haa?" \ Another anecdote of his punctual ity is about Captain Pease's apoint ment at 5 o'clock in the morning. He wanted to sell Washington a pair of horses and the President had replied that he would examine them at 5 o'clock in the morning at his stable. Captain Pease did not hurry for he thought 5 o'clock was too early for such a great man to be out He did not know Washington. When he got there a quarter past. 6 the president had been there' and gone. Captain Pease had to wait several dayB for another appoint ment Fertilizer Go',s * Prize Contest Drews Entries ' r' ? i>. { l ? * Smith-Douglass 1? Giv ing Away $2,000 to 373 Winders Mr. R. B.
