THURSDAY APRIL 1, 1920 AN INSPIRATION. ***♦ + * + 4>*** + + *** ♦ IN fHE DAY'S NEWS •» ******* + **■*' The way that the business peo ple of Florence have risen to the situation created by the need of a new hotel is an inspiration. How ever, it is not a surprise, for it wav. never doubted that once the propo sition were placed before them in its trne aspect their response would ba immediate. The spirit that the cit izens of Florence are showing in this matter ip the spirit that builds cities. It*Is the spirit of cooperation, with out which no community lias ever ntQ3 r e3sed We believe that thi^ most valuable influence, which must ever be cherished and fostered, ba*; come to Florence to abide. Taen, there is nothing more for us to do as a- community except to keep ever lastingly at it, let no opportunity es cape, face our problems unitedly, and cur steady sure growth will con tinue just as sure as the sun shines.

In Ifion Florence was the nluth city in size in the state and had a population- at that time of 4,047. Ten years later, 1910, when the next census was taken, Florence had push e<t Into the seventh place In the ranks of the cities of this state, hav- Ing at that time a population of 7.0-">7. ’ While the figures for Florence are hot available it is a foregone conclu sion that Florence will occupy the . ,)i fifth place this year in the ranks of the state’s cities. The cities hav ing a larger population this year than Florence are: Charleston. Co lumbla, Spartanburg and Greenville. The two cities that Florence' have passed within the past ten years are Simiter and Anderson. The figures • of those two places for this ycai have already been published and its a sure guess that Florence will go above both of them. C Just what the official count will '• give The Gate City is of course yet unknown, but its a safe guess tha’- . , hep percentage of increase will prove conclusively that Florence is Cue i fastest growing city in the stale, even if tjie official figures should fall a Httle short of expectations. • ‘THAT GUILTY FEELING vita* • % ■ ■ 1; v. 1 . • There is a man in this town who fais a guilty ccnscience. • Ordinarily he is a pretty fair sort of citizen. He has never been with starving his children or beating his wife. He is a mem- typp ofithe church and takes pride in . his community. Ho likes his job andwoiks at it both industriously apd, .-enthusiastically. He hates a shirker and he is not above putting in If. or Iti hours a day when, neces sary. Night work means nothing in his young life. All through the win- % ter he has been on the job eariy and remained late. But now, with the coming of spring, with the sky azure blue and the sun shtntng sweetly, he is think- injj; seriously of dcserling family and v'liUuds, pasting duiy to thef winds, cjiurking his Job and going fishing.

( ondilions liave been very unfavor able for tarin work and plowing bus been retarded in all sections of the ; state, but more especially on clay lands. Farm work is about*two weeks late. The supply o*' corn is scarce in the I central and w-stern counties and inoro than usual ie being purchased by farmers for work stock. ! The condition of winter wheat is tair to good, although somewhat ; show in taking on spring growth, due j to the unusually cool weather for March. Oats have survived the winter with but very little injury from low tem perature. There will probably be some re duction of cotton acreage in some of the southern counties.
