/ GROWERS UrtGED -V TO HOLD TOBACCO Resolutions Adopted at Indignation P Tt Meeting of Growers At ^ Florence ir IT Florence, July 23.?Definite ac- ' tion as to what is best to be done to | obtain relief from the situation w created by low priced tobacco will g be determined at a meeting of .the Tobacco Growers' Association of p: South Carolina in Florence Friday, p July 29. u The; Warehousemen's Association G j?as asked by the indignation mass / meeting here today to meet a com- c< ' mittee from the Growers' organiza- pi tion on Saturday, July 30, for the w purpose of fixing a minimum price at a: which tobacco will be permitted to j f< sell in this State. It was admitted p that nothing was to be gained by p: demanding better prices and that con- b< i trol of the crop by the farmers U themselves in the acreage and matter of marketing was the only aven- si ue of relief. . ai Fanners are urged in resolutions Si adopted to offer only the better ti grades, well cleaned and picked and not to bring any tobacco whatever PJ to market until after the meeting c* here on Friday when definite steps 01 . as to price will be taken for their ^ guidance. Speakers urged today that t tobacco selling for two and three m .cents a pound was worth more as w fertilizer. There were probably a hundred 33 present, representing all lines of busmess, and while the meeting" opened ^ slow it developed into quite a py- ^ > ' rotechnical display. Some delegations from surrounding couniies brought in reports of such bad feeling; in some sections against the present low prices as to give rise to ap, prehension as to what might happen in their localities unless the people ^ were brought to an understanding of : ell conditions. m Discussion today was frank and th free.

PROGRESS IN PIEDMONT Laurens Advertiser. A day's ride away from Rome in an automobile in almost any direction toward a center of population cannot but impress one with the wonderful strides that the Piedmont section of the state has made in road building within the past several years.

Hendersonville, N. C., once considered a good day's drive, is now but a few hours distance Columbia may be made between meals with ease. Greenville's distance is but a pleasant afternoon outing. Union, Chester and Rock Hill once remote on account of bad roads, may now be reached by almost perfect roads with the exception of but a few short stretches of ordinary roads. Greenwood is but a little more than an hour's run and here fine roads lead out or are being built to other towns. Laurens county is not far behind other counties in road building, although the high cost of road-*biulding during the time when the bulk I* 'A * * t X 1 or its money was spent nas prevented it from getting as much mileage as some counties, but it*has roads to be proud of. The good roads movement has already added much to the pleasures of: living both in town and in the country and, though costly, it has been of great? value to the people. The work ought not to be considered as complete yet, but should go on until every occupant of the land will be in a reasonable distance of an all-the-year road.

Baltimore, July 23.?Does hope, as some, pre-Volsteadic bard proclaimed spring eternal in the human breast? Eduardo L. Desvernine, Cuban Consul in Baltimore, will say that it does Ten days ago a modest Washington dispatch, quoting Havana advices to the department of commerce, informed newspaper readers that scientists of the new government-endowed sugar college of Cuba had discovered a new drink with a real kick. It-was made from sugar, the report said, and contained no substance which would bar its importation into the United States, its intoxicating effect being due to a chemical transformation. A rush on the consul's office be- < gan the next morning. Involuntary [ drys came with a thirst, with mon- | ey and eagerness to gratify it?with | everything in fact, but a kettle to [ carry the stuff home in. They,were ? ready," Mr. Desvernine said yester- { day, to place orders on the spot, or i to avail themselves of any exped- | \ent which held out hope of obtaining { some of the magic preparation. Nor was the response confined to j the thirsty, according to Mr. Des- j vernine. iucu wiiuae waiicm were aiarni- j ingly flattened by the heavy hand j of prohibition and who have been J eking ou/t an existence by the man- j ufacture of near-beer and other 1 kickless beverages, were there l among the first. Some came to [ plead for exclusive rights of manu- j ^acture and sale all over the coun- [ try, others for the privilege of dis- [ tributing in Maryland. | / S "Do you realize the staggering [ possibilities (the consul disclaimed [j any intention of punning) this thing fj may assume?" Mr. Devernine ask- C ed one of these. 0 "Do I?' was the response. "We've ji got millions to put into it if it is C what is claimed."
