Sweat Potato Association, but
those who did come were repaid with a
very interesting and instructive address.
There is a great future in the
sweet potato business; and all that is
needed in this section to engage in the
sweet potato business successfully is
the proper storage facilities, as potatoes
can be grown in great abundance,
as all know. Down in Florence,
where Mr. Young is located, this industry
is flourishing and the growers
are more than pleased. A potato house
of about 10,000 bushels capacity, in Mr.
Young's judgment, would prove sufficient
as a starter, and would pay
wonderful dividends At the County
Directors' office this morning it was
stated that no report has been received
of damage to any of the county's
bridges from the high waters, though
it is not improbable several of the
smaller bridges may have been damaged.
The top-soil roads in places are
* also bound to have been considerably
damaged from the almost steady
forty-eight hours' downpour. Mr. L.
M. wooten pnonea in mis murnum uni
South Ford is up, and the small bridge
has been anchored , Rev. and Mrs.
J-. B. Traywick, both of whom have
been very ill, but are now well on the
road to recovery, ask that their most
hearty thanks be conveyed to their
friends and neighbors, who were so
very kind and solicitous drring the
illness of this popular couple.. Dr.
Paul Traywick, a son, who was here
during his parents' illness, was deeply
impressed by the Innumerable kindnesses
shown his parents, and said he
regarded it as nothing short of an act
of Providence that his aged father and
mother had come to Chester to spend
their declining days.

SWEET POTATO INDUSTRY.
Greenwood County Farmers Becoming
Interested in Sweet Spuds.
An outline of the sweet potato industry
in this state was given last
night by T. B. Young, president of the
South Carolina sweet potato grow?- >'

I VI O (IUUUV?H ??v ?* (,
I agricultural bureau and tho directors
and advisory council of tho chamber
of commerce, says the Greenwood Index-Journay
of Wednesday. The meeting
was held for the purpose of considering
the advisability of erecting a
large potato house in Greenwood. A
resolution was. passed, requesting the
chairman of the agricultural hurqau,
M. G. Bowles, to appoint a committee
of four to investigate the proposal and
report hack at a subsequent meeting.
Mr. Young told of what the sweet
potato association had done to educate
the 'North and East to the .value
of tAe sweet potato as a food. South
Carolina has the strongest marketing
organization of any state in the Union
and 1s already strongly Intrenched in
the markets with Important connections,
Mr- Young declared. The label
that goes on every crqtc shipped by
the South Carolina association, bearing
the words "South Carolina Sweet
Pctntoes," is becoming a talisman
which sells the product.
In speaking of the importance of the
potato' industry, Mr. Young 'was very
conservative in his statements, declaring
that cotton would.- continue to be
ralsedi and sweet potatoes would not
be a get-ricb-qulck crop, but would be
all Important addition to the cropping
system. South Carolina grown potatoes
are preferred in the North and
are rapidly becoming more popular
and bring good prices.
Qnly graded. No. 1 potatoes can be
shipped, Mr. Young said. Inferior potatoes
can only be marketed locally or
fed to stock. By careful cultivation,
j planting eariy, planting ini-m riu?c in
| the row and using vines in preference
t slips, aa far as possible, it is possl[
ble to secure the maximum amount of

for shipping.

meeting of termers at Ninety-Six,
where the erection of a potato house is
being considered.

FOR COLUMBIA CANAL
Senator Wells Favors Big Bond Issue
- . . to Develop It.
Senator Wells, of Edgefield, Monday
night Introduced a joint resolution to
submit to the qualified electors of the
state the issuance of not exceeding
$6,000,000 of bonds for the purpose of
developing hydro-electric, power of the
Columbia canal; to provide for a com
mission to develop saia property 01
the state by the expenditure of the
proceeds of such bonds.
Should the electorate of the state
order the issuance of tho "canal development
bonds," the resolution provides
for the appointment by the governor
of a commission of five, four of
whom shall be citizens of the state
and one an expert engineer, to carry
out the purpose of the resolution.
The resolution declares that "it appears
that if developed this property
would produce revenue from the hydro-electric

the interest on the state bonds issued
for the purpose of developing this
power and in addition would furnish
"a large income to the state and cause

ACTORS HARD HIT.
] Hundreds .of Unemployed snowmen
Walk Broadway.
There are today more unemployed
actors and other stage people walking
along Broadway arid a hundred main
streets looking for Jobs than ever before.
Everybody in Times Square who
knows anything about the theater,
from the cut-rate ticket hawker to the
producer of a dozen hits, is complaining.
The tailors, landladies and boarding
house owners seem to feel the hard,
times as acutely as the actors. They
have sought a grbat many judgments
these last-weeks against stage folk who
overlooked the rather prosaic doty of
paying their bills.
Several well known managers esti'
mated that half of the 15,000 actors In
the United States, exclusive of vaudeville.
performers, were out of work.
For some reason the roaming tent
shows and boat shows that play the
small, smaller and smallest villages are
said, not ti have felt a drop in attendance,
and there axe now 700 of them
scattered over the land.
Aside from the general Jet-up in
luxury buying, many reasons are given
for the extremely hard times in the
theater. The managers complain .of
unbearable overhead expenses?increased
railroad fares and union regulations.
Union leaders say the main difficulties
are railroad rates and the competition
by the movies.

"Tell your husband to be a good

for the next few days," suggested Miss
Hay, who as chairman, presided at the
league's campaign luncheon.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt said Gov- i

when ho characterized the league a.s a
"menace." She tolrl her colleagues that |
the political menaces of the present :
day were "bossism," the use of money .
in elections and an illiterate electorate ,
making possible controlled votes.
Then she said th;U when flhe Rrpubllcan

with these things, and came out foe |

the League of Women Voters would
