Several days ago call money in New York was 15 per cent with three institutions in control; what would it have teen had only one been in control? Recent analyses of South Carolina fruits and vegetables continue to pile up the high iodine content. A report just received by Dr. William Weston, managing director of tAie South Caro lina Natural Resources commission, giving additional figures, shows that watermelons have an iodine content of 402. When it is realized that the average for South Carolina Irish po tatoes is 211, and that South Carolina potatoes are in insistent demand in the goiter region on account of their high iodine content, it will readily be seen what a vast future opens up for South Carolina melon growers in the markets of the country. The analysis of cotton seed meal, which has been eagerly awaited for the reason that animals suffer equally Your tongue tells when you need with human beings in the goiter re gions, has exceeded even the most op timistic expectations. Cotton seed meal shows an iodine content of 140. Additional samples of lettuce, which have been examined, raise the aver age iodine content of this vegetable from 761 to 912. Turnip tops have gone up to the high average of 376. Rye in hull shows 86. Beet tops are averaging 657. Some of the figures have already b* er. published. A statement of the re sults so far at the state laboratory in rharleston, as furnished to Doctor Weston and given out Saturday throu^ John K. Aull, secretary of 'he Natural I^esources commission, “will show an opportunity for the growers of South Carolina fruits and vegetables which has hardly yet been realized,” said Mr. Aull, “and when these figures are given to the goiter regions, favorable reaction is certain to be very swift in view of numerous “I am a small farmer,” said the speaker, “and last year had about 50 bushels of okra and one morning threw a bushel in my car and carried it to Columbia where a chain store offered me only 35 cents per bushel for it. The chain store is a merger of I a lot of small stores and now your old corner grocers are gone. Where the farmer had ten men wanting to buy his vegetables and products he now has but one. The mergers are here and there are going to be more. ^Tiat are we going to do about it? The answer is through the law making forces of congress, for they can surely stop them. If something is not done in ten years we will see individuals as a mere speck among the organized forces. Abraham Lincoln said a nation canpot exist half free and half in slavery. I say no nation can exist where there is a double standard of living. We are up against that prob lem today. “The average farmer in the United States received $440.00 for his year's work while that of the average indus trial worker is $1,460.00. Is not the farmer entitled to as high a stdndard of living as anyone. I maintain that the average farmer, tilling 31 acres of land, and endeavoring to educate an average family of five is up against it and the result is deserted farms. The* speaker eyeing J. H. Hope, state superintendent of education, said “Don’t you ever allow W'ashing- ton to take charge of your schools in South Carolina, and please do not al low them to have any influence over our school system. Because if you do you will rue the day when you do.” The remedy, said the speaker, lies in the right kind of education. “No educated white people were ever in slavery or ever will be.” Is the right kind of education obtained at the big universities where efficiency and the money side of life are stressed or is it obtained at the small colleges of the state where the Word of God is taught ? The hope of the. country lies in the small institutions of the state like Wofford, Furman, Presbyterian, Erskine and Newberry. Mr. Lever said that the busted banks of the state had about ruined him but “thank God I still have a good wife and two children and courage to fight and work and carry on. THE NEW SHOE HOSPITAL W.

Modem machinery, now in force, makes us know that individu als are more and more ceasing to have that part in the affairs of the world which they had before. It is an age of organizing forces of man. It is a day in which all kinds of business inter ests are merging and wielding togeth er individuals into one entity. This business of merging is not restricted to any one line of business as it is be ing carried on in banks, oil companies, food products companies and many other lines too numerous to mention. “The banking capital of South Caro lina is today controlled by two insti tutions. The Associated Bond and Share company of New York city was recently taken over by the Morgans with the expenditure of over 100 mil lions of dollars, and Mr. Lever de clared that within five years the elec tric power facilities of the United States will be controlled by three com panies and that the majority of the stock will be ownetd by probably a doz en multi-millionaires. The companies referred to will be located in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. , “The greatest word in the English language today is power (electric) and we right here in our midst are realiz ing the power of electric power.
