} -which subscribed $600 between them,
$200 for each enterprise. All these

The highest in the U. S. was in
"Wyoming, where the physically fit
average 87.2. Therefore, in man
power resources South Carolina ranks
high among the States.
"It might surprise detractors of the
South, especially these who frequently
refer with great asperity to the domestic
conditions in our mill towns, to

from the murderous grasp of the invader.
That they discharged their

Flanders there are white crosses over
' graves where cotton mill boys, heroes

mill b^ys who came home to get the
most prized decoration of the whole
war?the congressional medal of honor,
in addition to numerous citations
from American and British officers
and crosses from the French government.
"Then there were the mill hoys
drafted into the 81st Division and into
numerous other units that went away.
They made good soldiers all of them,
and the service flags of the mill towns
at home had many stars, occasionally
one of gold, but never a star that was
not bright in honor and courage."

from an enforced absence, sends the
following New Year message to the
South Carolina newspaper men.
I To The Press of South Cajolina:
All who are interested in the welfare
of our state have noted, I am
t
sure,, the fine manner in which you
have worked to prosper our greatest
industry, agriculture. Without your ;

I
thanks of the whole people are there- ;
; fore due you.
J Tho much agricultural progress |
has been made in South Carolina in ,
recent years, much is still to be done, j
and the new year finds us facing a j
very grave problem, namely, safe j
farming in the presence of the boll j
weevil, but it is hoped that the series j
