THERE is no incentive to striv-

Each of us has to make our

But nothing keeps up the cour-

by great increase Of speed. the

mistake the bearing of all this
upon the frequency Of accidents.

suggest, should be sought in the

accidents could be classified under

Moreover. they have a common

would run over Sunday morning for
breakfast and get back in Newberry
for dinner. Then my three boys and
their mother decided they would like
to go along, so l could not get off on
my schedule and it resulted in my
getting over to the old home about
~ o'clock instead of seven as | had
planned. But they were not the
whole cause of the delay. Ny car

ROTARY NOTES

@ o o @ o o o o 9 9 o @ 9 e @ <.
Rotarian Harry Dominick is visit
ing in Washington and was the guest
of the Rotary club of Washington at
their luncheon on the 7th. He re-
ports having had a fine time at their
meeting, dining with $50 members of
their club. While away he will lunch
with the clubs at Atlantic City and
New York.
Delegates to the convention at Los
Angeles, Rotarians Zach Wright and
George Summer, are having great
time out there. Cards received from
them from points en- route state that
they have enjoyed the long trip
across the continent and are glad
that they decided to go. They
will be away for three weeks, count
ing travel time. Returning they in
tend to visit the Yellowstone Park
and other points on the northern
route home. Going they went over
the Southern route, touching the
Mexican line on their trip.
The next luncheon Of the club will
be he'd Tuesday at the Newberry TO-
tel. This luncheon will be unique in
that there will be no set program and
the members can do just as they
want to. If they have an impulse to
speak or sing and can get President
Hask Kibler to recognize them they
can go as far as they like, but no one
will be asked to do anything. At the
close of the meeting the Leslie Bro
theirs will be ready to take some mo-
ton pictures of the club, which will
later on be incorporated into the film
showing the organizations and activi-
ties of tlIs fair city.
Rotarian John Kinard has probab-
ly visited more Rotary clubs than any
other member of the Newberry club.
He has dined with the Atlanta, Hot
Springs, Columbia and Jacksonville
clubs and every time he visits an
other club~he gets a better idea of
the fneness of Rotary.

We notice in the papers that & Mr..
s. w. Adams of Georgia made 100
bales of cotton last year on no
acres of land and the boil weevil was
rampant in all his section. And he
also says that 50 plows on his place
worked by renters made only 60 bales
and not enough to pay rent. He says
he did not use any poison ani only
used about 200 pounds Of fertilizer to
the acre.
The question is, how did he do it.
He says the job was accomplished by
work ard picking up what OF the
shapes that were thrown off by the
weevil that he could, but his main
recipe is work. He says he plowed
his cotton twice a week and some
times three times a week. That is Mr..
Oscar Peterson's recipe and that is
what we told the man who is working
a small farm for Us this year. Be sure
to plow the cotton twice week. 20
around it the early part Of the week
and then "bust" out the .niddles the
latter part of the week. Bat this
Georgia farmer adds to his statement
that he will not Zoe able to do that
this year because of the constant
rains. The trouble with the cotton
farmer has always been in planting
more acres than he can work as It
should be worked, even in days be-
fore the boil weevil came to towh.
We have been too much ia the habit
of lust planting and not working.
