Lut week, two representatives of ie of newspapers were visitors here m South Carolina's leading daily for ihe purpose of interesting Barnwell business men in a proposition to ad vertise this seetion of the State. They had been to BlaekviHe and Williston and told the writer that ¥ L' ’ •« B5' K?- : their trip had been highly educational —that they had learned things about their own State that they never dreamed were true. For instance, that Blackville is the cucumber cen ter, WiWiston the asparagus center and Barnwell the watermelon center of South Carolina; that the towns and Country are making material pro gress along all lines; that Barnwell County has as fine a system of sand- day roads as can be found anywhere; that the towns visited have much to offer to those seeking locations for various kinds of industries, and so on. We who live here know these things, but the trouble is that we take them as a matter of course and don’t be stir ourselves to let outsiders know what we have to offer. If we con* tinue to hide our light under a bushel, we cannot hope to see this section progress and develop as H should, blessed as it is with so manv natural advantages of soil and climate.

Tifton and Valdosta be cause many Insceuratelv printed mans show that as the nearest route. The Citi*en says: “We have In mind one.in particulor, which show* the route through Col umbia and Ausru*ta. According to thia^map. the road between these two cities runs due north and south, show ing the tourist that by going that wav. he is taking the mo«t direct road. The man ha* the Savannah river closer to Columbia than Augus ta. and runs it due cast and weat. It ignores Savannah entirely, and takes tHe tourist through Macon, Cordele, Tifton and Valdosta. “A tourist from New York hap pened to hear of the Savannah bridge, and wifhed to cross it. so he decided to take a chance on adding a little to his mileage, and take the route through Savannah, even should it move to be a little longer than through Augusta. Arriving at Vam- viie, however, he took the trouble to Agum out the mileage on an accurate highway map, put out by the State highway department. He found that the distance saved was close to fifty miles, instead of the distance being greater. “Incidents such as this furnish food fbr tjRJUfbt t^ aTT Those 'who are sin cerely interested in the welfare of the low country. To divert tourist traffic away from this country, which legitimately ought to have it. is to periously cripple tl»e country.” The route through Georgia has nothing to offer in the way of high ways of scenery that this section of South Carolina cannot match or im prove on and every effort should be made to get. this travel at least one way. As The Citizen suggests, it would be a good idea t*> have a mao showing both rolites. tourists being urged to uae one route going South «nd the other when they return North, thus adding to the enjoyment of their trio. And another thing:; In suite of the Mr. Brooker Hartzog and Mr. Wil lie Woodward made a brief trip to Blackville Saturday night. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Collins and family attended preaching services at Hilda Sunday, morning and night. Mr. and Mrs. Brooker Hartzog were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Delk Sunday.
