FLORENCE TO HAVE CANNING FACTORY, FIFTEEN TONS OF SWEET POTATAFC A HIV Will RF ITS CAPACITY. The secretary and other officers of the Chamber of Commerce have been out in the city for two days in the interest of a canning factory, and they are satisfied that they can call it a success. The proposition comes from an association that has some of the most successful canneries in the world. The stock of one of them is worth so much that the stockholders have just quit keeping count and all are doing well. The company proposes to put the factory in, all equipped and in Operation hpfnrp thp rail is made on the subscribers for their money, and the work must come up to the promises. The capacity will be twenty thousand cans a day, and it will work from one hundred to one hundred and fifty hands for seven months in the year, and maybe longer, if the farmers of this country diversify the truck crops more. They will make a specialty of canning potatoes and will pay for the potatoes fifty cents a bushel for all that may be brought in and the f armer who cannot raise potatoes at that price on a big scale ought to be ashamed of himself, for it has been shown that from 500 to $uu Dusneis can oe raisea on an acre in this country. The factory will handle about 15 ^ tons of sweet potatoes a day in the season. All sorts of spring vegetables are to be handled right away except the t?eans, which will require especial machinery for stringing them, and beans will be handled later. The stores and the farmers are not going to be worried any more about wilted vegetables for they are riot going to have a chance to wilt, and the farmer may be assured of a market at the cannery when he comes in, and the price of such food will be lower to the consumer because of the improvement of the market, the assurance of selling and a fixed price at all times. The business men of the city have taken hold of the proposition very readily, and they are putting down their subscriptions very liberally. One man has already offered an acre of land, right on the railroad siding, where cars may be loaded and and it will be an ideal place for a location. That proposed company will buy its supplies all from local men and it will mean very much to the cfty. The hands working in the factory will be paid from one dollar to two and a half a day. The men who are making the proposition are well known in the West " 'J rnlioKLa OQT7Q fKo I a.liU OIC ^I1CV.UJ KIIHUIV, wja VIIV secretary of the Chamber, Mr Morgan, who know them in Illinois. There is every reason to believe that work will soon be started on the buildings ?Florence Times. CHAT FROM CADES. Warm Weather Helps FarmersLocal aod Personal Items. Cades, January 28:?The unusually i warm weather for the season is making oats look fine, but it is feared that should a severe cold spell set in failure will be the result. Tobacco plants are also beginning to show up. A good many have lost their fresh meat on account of the extremely warm winter. Farmers generally have taken advantage of the season for plowing, repairing and ditching, also erecting new tobacco barns, in this section. Mr W E Nesmith rides in a new Ford auto, a recent purchase. Mr S J Brown of Douglas. Ga,was here for a day or two last week visiting his father, Mr H J Brown. Mr and Mrs F B Thomas of Central visited at Mrs N F Knight's, Mr Thomas' sister's, Sunday. Messrs R E Tart and J R Haselden made a flying trip to the city by the ^ r** 3 Sea sunaay. Messrs V G Arnette and H F Fenegan visited Latta last week,returning in a new auto Mr Fenegan purchased up there. Mr Tom Gaddy, the new sale8 i clerk at W I Hodges Co's, makes a | notable addition to the gallants of our town. Mr Geo Eaddy of Nashville, Tenn, visited his mother, Mrs W J Haselden, recently. Mr and Mrs W E Nettles of Lake Citv were here one dav last week to i t ; visit their daughter, Mrs N F Knight. Mr Joe M Eaddy was here today , from Lake City. Mrs Belle Turner was here last | week visiting her daughters. Mesdames Arnette and Fenegan. B. ^ m Sand and Clay Road ?. j Editor County Record: ? I am going to jot you a few lines i from down in the "sticks." or better known as the sandbed.but if the weather permits and everything works out smoothly as it is going on j now, we hope to have the road so that automobiles can go over that ^ road without having to hire men to push them over. Some time ago a ^ certain gentleman and lady trav4 eled over the sand road in a little ] "skip jack" machine,and, of course, when they struck the deep sand they ] could not go,but as luek had it,your I writer happened to be working near ! by, so he had to take the hand3 and push the auto out,but,but they have j not ventured to travel this way since. In the course of three weeks longer 1 I think the little "skip jack" can make it through "0 K", as the } county is putting in some very good ^ work on this road, which is the * lower bridge road. Your writer was also down at ? Camp No 2 some time ago and the chaingang in that section of the ^ county was putting in some road : work, building the sand clay roads. 4 I noticed,too, that the farmers were burning beds to plant tobacco. J i Oh. ves. a crentleman told me the ( \ other day that he had a hog ho fat that some time ago the hog started to run from some school children * and being so fat.it broke both of the bones in its hind legs and he had to | kill it. Your writer had the pleasure of eating some of the same hog. LMD. : Kingstree, January 20. Notice. ( Kingstree,S C.January 16, 1913.
