While the character of the South Carolina Development board is pret ty well understood, there is a feeling that not enough emphasis has been placed on the fact that the organi zation will not deal in generalities, hut in specific undertakings: that it is distinctly co-operative and that it especially seeks to unite a great body of the forward looking citizens to think hard of their state-to "do it for South Carolina." The South Carolina Development hoard dates from November ll, 1918 when a small gropu of citizens de termined to set up an organization to seek the advancement of the state. March 9, 1920 was held the South Carolina Reconstruction assembly in j Columbia, at which time the develop ment board took its present definite form and since then it has formul?t- !, ed a program of specific activities. In answer to the question of "what j, kind of an organization is the South Carolina Development board?" the!, following statement was made at the : j headquarters in Columbia: "It is a large number of citizens i banded together to carry to a success ! i ful conclusion such activities as will ! 1 bring development to the agricultu- ! ; . ral, industrial and natural resources ! ? of the state; better health conditions' and schools; encourage farm owner- ; T..i. ?...

Governor Enthusiastic. Much impetus was given to the movement of "doing it for South Carolina' 'on Tuesday last when a group of the state's editors were guests of Governor Cooper at a lun cheon in Columbia. The governor] gave a little talk which contained a clear and enthusiastic picture of his conception of the undertaking and explained why he has been willing to give a large amount of attention to the details of the campaign plans. The governor emphasized the state ment in his opening that "no one connected with this organization is seeking any personal profit. That is one of the things they are not allow ed to do. It is not a question of any person getting something for himself but we want to put on a big compre hensive program for South Carolina, something that will start us on the road to development. "To be perfectly frank with, you, I had an idea last year, when the Sputh Carolina.development board was first brought to my attention, that some one had a scheme to make some mon ey. But as I have investigated and looked into it, I find it is the under taking of a few patriotic people who got this idea and this vision of put ting on a definite program for the state. First, we need to make a study of our own conditions and find out what our defects and handicaps are and get them out of the way. Having done that, we could let others know about it. That is the purpose of this organization. , Conditions to be Faced. "There are some things we may just as well look squarely in the face. It is not going to minimize them in the least to look over them. They are there and facing them squarely and j intelligently is going to have a great deal to do with our immediate future not only in this state, not only in the South, but throughout the entire country. "These things are called by vari ous terms, one being a natural reac tion; but because it is a natural re action does not mean that it is not serious. Sometimes you hear people say''it is natural, I expected this con dition to follow the war," and dis miss it because since it is natural, it is not serious. Because a thing was expected does not mean that it is not serious. "We today need to give our time and attention, energy and resources in building up fundamentally the best interests of South Carolina. Now let me call attention to two or three things of the projects this board is going to undertake. First in importance is education. Not only schooling, as it is termed, but the widening of the vision of the whole people. GOOD mileaf good tracti extreme degree these tires.

What does that mean? Why, it means that our pros perity has increased- overnight, be yond our dreams.' How are we going to use it? Unless we use this' increas ed production in a proper way, in stead of being a blessing to us it will be our undoing. "It has occurred that everyone who is interested, for instance, in livestock should be brought together, to concentrate their efforts and ex change views with each other as to how they can best promote the live stock interests. The organization wishes to offer to these men the op portunity and the facilities to carry out these ideas. "We propose to make a survey of the state and furnish information to the people of one section about the other sections, and vice versa. Then there are our transportation facili ties, and a score of other matters in which every South Carolinian is deep ly interested. "As we work all of these matters out, we want the newspaper men of the state, men who are unselfish and willing to serve their state and their campaign which is about to be launch ed, success will be impossible unless it is backed by a sincere desire to help South Carolina."-The State.
