Columbia. May. 29.—Actual opera
tion of the state-wide program which
has been outlined as “a movement for
the good of South Carolina,” and
which has adopted the slogan of “Do
it for South Carolina." is being given
hard study at the headquarters in Co
lumbia.
Pitfalls which have been uncovered
by other organizations are being
avoided, the successes which have
been made elsewhere have been analy
zed and In particular, care is being
taken to develop a method of opera
tion which shall be the extreme in
simplicity, certainty and practicabil
ity. *
Out of this determination to guaran
tee success from the outset, to do no^
experimenting, has grown what is al
ready being referred to in other states
as the'South Carolina plan. In brief,
it is the named commission charged
with a specific undertaking. This is
an adaptation of the special commit
tee method of getting things done
which has been developed by the mod
ern civic-commercial organiation.
This plan has been worked on and
worked at until it has reached a stage
of perfection which apparently leaves
little more to be done to 'It.
Definite Promises of Action
For this reason the South Carolina
Development Board is announcing
its Intention of creating a number
of commissions, which in effect will
be special committees, feels that it
can make detinue promises of action,
speedy and satisfactory, on the pro-
j Jects which It may undertake.
In order that the plans may em-
jbody the best thought of South Caro-
I linians, there have been a number of
, conferences in the past week between
Governor Robert A. Cooper, Senator
Nils Christensen and others, who have
visited several places and have spent
many hours in consultation with men
I who have been thinking about the
economic future of their home state.
An incidental result of these confer
ences has been the enlistment of r
considerable ney group of men as ac
live supporters of the movement. It
was said at the headquarters on Sat
urday.
As outlined at present, the tenta
live program of the hoard suggests
| the naming of 18 commissioners, as
j follows: Markets, live stock and live
(stock credits, live stock sanitation.

transportation, farm labor, land settle

and drainage projects, ctvlc-comnier
rial organizations, inter-racial rela
tions. good roads and natural resourc
es and industrial research.
It will be noted that these deal
mainly with the agrciuHural of South \
Carolina. The thought behind this ha.» I
been expressed by Govemor Cooper, I
who is chairman of the state commit
tee which has lyidrtaken an expansion
of the development board, in these
words:
“The time has come when South
Carolina must diversify agricultural
activities and must make use of the
varied natural resources. Our eco
nomic life has been somewhat hap
hazard. A continuance of this policy
will surely bring grief to the state.”
Best Brains in the State
In the selection of a commission a i
definiteplan will be followed. The
chairman, for instance, will be the
best Informed man on the subject In
the state. He will call to his assist
ance other men whose interest and
knowledge make them particularly
suited to the prosecution of a sneclflc
Undertaking. Thus each commission
will be composed of men who both I
want a thing done and know how to !
get it done.
It Is planned that each commission
shall be composed of 12 members.
Thought has been given to this, as to
all other phases of the subject. Twelve
members on each commission will!
make It possible to give every section |
of the state representation. It will i
make places for the most expert men [
and it will so divide a task among j
them that none will be burdened be- |
yond his willingness to serve.
,Tn all cases the members of the com- |
mission will give their services with- j
out personal compensation. In a word,
• South Carolina will have the benerlt
