Cooper, chairman of the i-^OBexsiive campaign committee, who 'Mfcamed to his office today for the : far. ^ime since he had his tonsils re: tlie first of last week, could ? -deliver an address but had Sena~5nr -ICiels Christensen, president of ;3oard, to go somewhat into de4e?1 :as to the unquestionable demand Spaeth Carolina for a union of the .^people on a program which will deand utilize the vast resources" *af the State. Senator Christensen called on G. * ^ pA/ivofow A"f f!)P EV-i'L VV UU(X!IIS, .... Welfare Board, and on 2 of -~bz*? staunehest advocates of the De* - ypinent Board, and Dr. George B. ^Vosaer of Newberry, former presi i&7r of Newberry college and a member of the State executive campaign arorttmittee of the board, to respond '5a j'.he toast of "South Carolina" in "ifee place of (iov. cooper.

D. C. Heyward; why he had selected the topic of Do It'' for his talk. He had >betn Impressed bjs*?he slogan of the | , dtrrve, "Do It for South Carolina,"! ' he felt now was well known to! " Ute great majority of the people of J ~ 5he -State. It was not enough, he! isajtf x-o say "Do it;" the thing now " ?as to go out to do it. All of thej ? * 4vy ! ia&s met a responsive senumcm, m, !3se minds of the company and the -sair of the expression ef the men! "-who extended the dinner was that will -do it." i The dinner was in many ways' ' -3ne "uf the most notable ever held in!, Carclin?.. Every article of; " food placed before the guests was a i Soi2th CaroPna product.- The subr-+ i 1 * of the speakers were bourn Cssolma and various phases of its' fcfriopment and upbuilding. The' dtei?i.mi nation at ihe close of the; - evening -was to make South Carolina j direst State in the Union and! go out and tell it to the world, j - r- Groundwork of Movement. Kou essentials compose the; .' work of the movement for' the utilization *of the resources of! - Scdh Carolina, according to mem-> .of the State committee which i assumed the responsibility forj ' -Sae.Statewide expansion campaign of: South Carolina Development, Sogcrd. These four are: A program: captivities, a representative and in-. <fatf?ntra3 membership, the necessary, i*K?me, efficient management. "^The last named of these we mavj r^gara as assured by the character i -*ad standing of the men who have'! -^aaepted the temporary leadership in j movement,'' it was said at the; headquarters in Columbia. "No one I. tdCI doubt that before Governor! <jss>per, former Governor Manning!' the 23 other South Carolinians i' f^kc compose the State campaign!, < sBanaiiitee, accepted those positions, j' feey satisfied themselves that the i development .board was already and ] remain in competent hands.}1 of the ten districts into which'1 v,oc Koor? divided for thei CA?XS OUtlt uuo wvv.. v.. j^HJogposes of the campaign and in each j: -? ? 'the 46 cdunties, other .men have! [ fisnned district and county commit-: < Sees 'because they too were certain of ; ?$6ae crotinued efficient management ] the board's affairs. :1 ^Taking up the other three essen-j; sz<Mit was pointed out that the de* asitt^rvnueitt -board has a program ofj Sfee most definite character. The; composing this are largely! < ^??se which have' been urged upon & -isecause of its accomplishments in . yea? of its activity. , ~ "We have tentatively proposed the , ^-readon of eighteen commissions," it ^ki.5 said. "These have been ' sugSgcstr'd because they represent un.ier*j:?;:?:gs for which there is a gen .>nrj no existing means Vf?iH U^iiiaiiu MAfv* ^ carrying on in the Statewide way the people want. In this conon, emphasis should be driven to * fact chat the functions of 'the 'Carolina Development Board nrv >r?ainly educational. Let us think ' yf the establishment of a home cash *narket as an illustration. . Information Collected. -'*The'";ooard has already collected "*12 .the information there is on this wepr^ct. It has thoroughly digested ' $ ?' information and evolved a plan ; alf'crgacaization and operation T^hich ' B,texact^ suited to South Carolina v ewadirions It lias already created a 'assure in a number of communities the establishment of such marfaess, and will soon set the task of j suiting them in operation. The iflsrd can not of itself set up these " Markets; that is, organize and fi; msace them. But it will show the jsaople of a community how to do it, acoM wlTI advise and foster a market - ato&il the local management is able * carry it on unaided. "'"So with other projects. The Tffar'd can not lend money on live, s*ock, for instance, but it can en courage the livestock loans by banks,! by cooperating with Clemson college, in the production of suitable grains,: grasses and forage, by advertising bouth Carolina as a livestock State, j "The board can not of itself alter the laws relating to assessment and taxation. But it can carry on an ed-; ucational campaign which will have the effect of inducing the constituted lawmakers to amend the existing laws, if that is found to be a desir-; able thing to do. The board can not i build good roads, out it can cuupciate with the State highway commis-i sion to the end that more good roads will be built. j "These are all educational projects, calculated to help bring South; Carolina up to that condition which1 Governor Cooper has described as j putting our house in order for the! expected guest?making South Caro-, llina the best State -in the Union and' then telling it to the world. j "California proved that she could raise oranges, prunes and raisins be-fore she undertook to sell land to' men in other States; Washington; 1 1 > 4- #1 Ancon rlc nf End urc^on pidiucu tuvv* , acres of apples before they sent: agents to the East to sell orchards, i South Carolina must do a similar, thin?, except that being an older. State, she must eliminate those arti-. ficial and natural conditions which have been her most serious handicaps. Must Be Made a Reality. "Now it will be apparent that such a program while it remains on paper is merely pretty to look at and dream' abt>ut. Hence the need for lifting it out of the realm of theory and putting it into practice. That requires; ^ VWAVtAXT j Illtfll ClliU "It is quite possible Uiat the proposed* activities of tie Souch Carolina Development Board could be so presented to a small group of the State's leading men that they wbuld gladly provide it with the required resources. They would do th 's as a business proposition, in the belief that the promised betterment of the State would be reflected in their net incomes. As. a matter of' fact we - * - * * a.i have been told by business men mau we fcre too modest in our financial goal; that we ought to have $500,000 a year instead, of $250,000. ; "But a membership of this character would defeat one of the prime purposes of this organization. It would lack both numbers and influence. Such a program as we have j outlined ought to have not less than 5,000 to 10,000 citizens of South Carolina actually enrolled and supporting itr for then it will be repre-: sentative and Democratic, and will express the sentiment of the State as a whole. Another consideration' A ??iim_ is the momentum who dUtil A1 VIA A A bcrs will provide. Practically every, one in the* State will have an un-! derstanding of the aims and purposes of the South Carolina Development Board and therefore we shall have a united citizenry behind every worth while project which we undertake. Such an influence will be both potent and rapid in the establishment 1>i! ?^ - ?1- "-ill nlo/n o*t conditions wm^ii win pjaw Carolina in a position to capitalize its now latent possibilities. v J "Now as a_progiu mis of no value' until it is takeh up and put to work,! so is the jmbination of a program; and numbers behind it?sentiment, in other words?ineffective without resources. Therefore, the develop- j ment board must have a sufficent1 income to do the things it has laid I out for itself. The goal of the ex- I pansion campaign which will be made I from June 21 to 26 is $250,000 ? I year for three years. This is a con- I servative sum, we believe, when we I think of Soufh Carolina as having 46 1 counties, in every one of which there 1 * * i i- . is some work to be done 01 tne njgnest importance to the State at large. The money will be appropriated under a budget made by the directors. No part cf the funds, will be used in the conduct of commercial enterprises, no member of a commission or officer, or other persons except office employees, will receive any compensation for services. i "The three-year clause in the pledges of support has been adopted in order to assure the permanence of i?L-l.: the movement. JNo unaertaimig ui this sort can hope to complete its I initial program in one year. Nor | can it interrupt its activites once a E year to finance itself for another 12 8 months. Movements of this charac- I fcer have been in existence in other K States for many years, all becoming g stronger with the passing of time.; The South Carolina plan, as the development board's program has been named, long before its third year will have established itself so firmly as a voluntary State institution that its permanence will be beyond question. Also by that time the world will know and appreciate the effects of a whole State united behind a slogan like 'Do it for South Carolina.' " A Birthday Party. On Thursday, June 10, Uncle Wil- S liam Means (colored), better known a as Bill Chaplin by the older people, 1 met at the Seekwell hall with his S friends to celebrate his birthday.
