Augusta ChronicleFred Kelly, writing in "The Nation's Business," urges that every eian study and learn his own business. He says: "I once met a grocer in a small village who was doing more business than the average storekeeper in a town ten times the size. His success ^came from the fact that he was keenly interested in his work far beyond the mere item of buying and selling at a profit. He aimed to know all about the hundreds of articles % ? that he sold, and in doing this he became the most widely read and best informed man in his section. He got interested in the subject of spices and read books about Ceylon and other countries where his spices came from. He read up on coffeeraising, fish-canning and the fruit industry. Among other things he learned that, while prunes ere raised throughout the whole length of the State of California., there is one little section where they are better than those from other parts of the state. He arranged to sell only that Jcind of prunes. Another thing he found out was that fish canned in oil improves with age. When he bought sardines he put them in storaga for six months before he sold them. Customers did not understand why it was that his sardines tasted better than those of exactly f the same brand bought elsewhere? but they got into the habit of coming to his store." ORPHANAGE WORK DAY For several years the orphanages in this state, and other Southern - states, have observed a custom that has now become well established a- ( .mong our Sunday Schools. Joint re- j quest is made by Thornwell Orphan- ( .age, the Church Home Orphanage, Epworth Orphanage and Connie Max . well Orphanage that all people who | love. God.and little children will contribute the income or the wages of at least one day to the orphanage of . his choice. It is suggested that the plan be handled in every Sunday School in South Carolina by an- . nouncements made well in advance and that a Saturday be selected on which everybody including the children shall devote himself to a task or special job if necessary, and contribute the income of the day at his church on the following Sunday. Per haps in some places it may prove more acceptable to have everything i li __ rpi i??~ I uruuglll 111 Ull illtliiiisgiviiig ua;> j Each community may work out its j own plan for the observance of the | (lay but it is hoped that many thous- I ands of our people will adopt the i scheme. If the friends of the orphan ] should with any sort of unamity enter into the proposed observance of . the day there is little doubt that each of our four church orphanages would receive enough to supply the current needs for some time to comc.

(senator dial attacks COTTON FUTURES | Has a Plan of His Own to Remedy Matters?Says Our Trouble is With Marketing System. Greenwood, Nov, 1.?Senator N. B Dia in an address to business men and farmer here last night made an. attack on the present cotton futures J statute "'with its indefinite contrast i system" and proposed a remedial I plan by making the contract definite as to grades of cotton that could be marketed. "I have seen property in other sections," he said, "and I have become' convinced that the trouble with'us is our marketing system. P am not, fighting cotton buyrs and exchang-j but I merely want an unfair system j corrected. The future contract mar-, kets controls tha spot cotton mar-: ket. The grower and buyer of cotton wants cotton to go up and the man who sells it wants it to go down. Asj the future market goes down, the, spot market goes down in sympathy j Almost ten times as much cotton issold each year as the country produces." Senator Dial then sketched the" his tory of the cotton exchanges and the cotton futures laws and advocated, amending the cotton futures statute to permit the buyer to select half of the contract in any two grades and the seller select half of the contract in any two grades of good cotton This he argued, would make the contract definite enough to protect the buyer and elastic enough to be tradable. Senator Dial also criticized the republican party declaring that the V M**. x _ J ? A At scnemes mwiiatea against me pruaperity of the south, causing us to loss our rights and privileges on account of concentration in Washington." He characterided 1 Secretary, H'oover as the Santa Claus of the wsrld and condemed what he termed' government's repeated interference j in business charging that the price of coal had been advanced $1.10 per ton by such interference. > FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Mr. Weeks will preach Sunday a. m. at 11 o'clock on the subject: "My Grace is Sufficient for Thee."
