WHAT'S THE MATTER |( WITH SOUTH CAROLINA An interesting vacation filled with' pleasure, educational and entertain-' ment features and all kinds of ath-' letics as well as army instruction, s with all expenses paid. i?3 the offer r ::iade to the young men of South Car- T Dlinu who will attend the Citizens' ; Military Training camp at Camp Mc- 1 Clellan July 27th to August 26th, F " mi yet only 28 per cent of South v (Carolina's quota has been filled. .2 Our young men do not realize that 1 his is not an old fashioned army i camp or surely as in Florida and oth- t : or states, the quota would be filled. ? The objcet of the C. C. is to train ' norlno fVl?J+ fVl?>\7 1Y19V V?P V | youxig men in uiuti uiui mvj of greater service if an emergency i arises. . However, any man who at- c tends camp will not be required to I : join the reserves or national guard t or anything else unless he so desires. \ Xo previous military experience is i required and any boys 17 years of s age may apply for admission to the "] red,or clementarv course. Men who J I have had experience will be admitted c to the white course for non-commis- r s:oned officers or the blue course ( which trains men for commissions, f Men who start their work this sum- ( mer in the red course can take the 5 advanced courses in succeeding yearsl j Young men will benefit greatly , mentally and physically. The work f j is indorsed by some of our most j [prominent citizens and everyone who i 1 has the time should attend. If cur j -i. jc | young men permit ouuui vaiyiiua o ; quota to be filled by another state < j what will be the result? One thing i sure: South Carolina's young men who can attend camp and get the'*r I commissions and do not do it, certain ly will not become officers, and in ^ esse of an emergency they will be V & taking orders from someone else. It will be much better for men who are not settled for life to go to three v one month camps and get their commission and be ready for something * worth while in case of need than | it trill be to wait until tbey are older tttVir>-n fro'ninp will bp much .YHWl * . g, harder for them and they cannot get i4- under such favorable circumstanc- c cs. Certainly men who fa'l to -make ^ the best of this opportunity cannot | k:c3c if tfaey have to serve ^uijcterj less ^ favorable circumstances later on be- j cause they refused to take this tra'.ni . ? ? jinir. } Surely what the rest of the sou; them states can do, South Carolina | can equal* Tell your friends and 1 I help pull the ??tate out of the hole. 1 j Get an application blank, fill it out I ' and send it in as soon as possible.

L \ "? nwrn?i? ? r )NE OF THE STATE'S SUCCESSFUL NEW INDUSTRIES t Ss I I* Nothing has proved more conclu- <$> ively the resourcefulness of the \vonen of South Carolina than their un-"oi >recedented initiative in the business c< vorld during the strenuous years of th 921 and 1922. They have not only oi >ursued the various old lines of work th vith energy and determination, but ei ire constantly developing successful- r* y new fields of endeavor. They are d' n the promotion of the flower indu-s- c< ry of the state,, appealing to the tfr lesthetic side of our nature while go- 01 ng about the prosaic business of v< lelping to make a living. >' a The ladies of Fauline Home Dem- 12 >nstration club call themselves "The Dahlia club." During the past year ^ ;his ClU-D sum a^iuAJiiiawvV y vorth of flowers. Most of these 0 vere sold through the home demon- ir (tration club market in Spartanburg.^ rh:*?3 market is known as the "Square u Deal market." This total sum in- 11 w :luded the money from the sales of ^ lot only the blossoms, but cuts, roots,! ?tc. Quoting from a recent letter . ? 1 is from Mrs. Ada Lancaster, one of the \ ;'ght women who compose this club,, >he says, "Dahlias were the most ' popular flower, then the chrysanthe- ^ num, followed by the daffodil this spring. We would never have sold \ A his amount without our club market.1, I 31. ifou see it has amounted to a nice g ittle sum for each of us, the largest' sale being $140 and the smallest.c no." jhS Mrs. J. P. Harris of Lancaster i, i le ountv is known as the "flower lady,'*j which attractive 'itle has been ac-i., , tl juirea through her identification withfu he various flowers with which she is' I C i ilways surrounded. In a recent let- ^ er to the itate marketing agent, she j iescriibes in an enthusiastic manner, i ler method of cultivation of sweet! >eas. As she cleared $300 on seven ows, fifty feet long, I am inclined ;o believe that her method of culti- t r?tion io the proper one. Her total o eceipts for flowers during 1921 >v imcunted to $750. Mrs. Harr'i has.. ( he hearty cooperat'on of her hu?- h )an'd in this enterprise. She writes ] ;hkt he wants to experiment with b rweet peas planted in ( the cotton " ' " -- ieiti?.
