MR. SMITH ADDRESSES CLASS IN ECONOMICS Remarks that South Carolina is among Leaders Mr. W. G. Smith, State Ware house Commissioner, made a very interesting and instructive talk to the Rural Economics class on last Friday. Mr. Smith made the remarkable state ment that country damage is done to cotton in South Caro lina in one year, at prevailing prices, to build sufficient ware houses to store all the cotton raised in the state. Ninety-two warehouses have been taken into the warehouse system since the last meeting of the General Assembly. The total value of the cotton stored under the state warehouse system this year is over $21,000,000; 80 per cent. of this value has been loaned by the banks of this state to the farnlers on their state warehouse receipts. This. system enables the farmer -to hold his cotton for better prices and at the same time gives him the necessary cash money. South Carolina is a leader in the warehouse system. Mr. Smith states that he is constant ly receiving inquiries from states thruout the South in re gard to the South Carolina sys tem. At preliminaries held las! Tuesday night, R. C. Thomp son and L.

SOCIAL WORKERS TO MEET HERE NEXT YEAR Dr. Wilson Gee Attends Con ference Held in Sumter The State Conference of So cial Workers held its annual meeting in Sumter for three clays of the past week. While the meeting was not a largely attended one, it assembled a group of fifty or more inter ested social works from differ ent sections of the state.

The importance of social problems in the life of the State is l)ecoling more and more iec oglized. This fact is il dicated by the increasing nunlbr )f ''. c"ial agencies at work in the State. These are becoming o numerous that one of the out standing problenls before the social workers is the otlliing of a program which will pre vent overlapping of work. Much good can be (lone along this line of coordination, and the conference for social wxork er's has an excellent opp)ortuni ty in helping to bring this about. The Conference of Social Workers was invited .iointly by the University and the Social Workers' Club of Columbia to hold its next annual meeting at Columbia. This invitation was accepted by tche Conference, and the time of meeting left to the Executive Committee. The GOODYEAR SHOE HOSPITAL W. D. LEVER, JR., Prop.
