The South Carolina Develop ment Board proposes to do away with the bad and develop the good. Its task Is a great one and a worthy one, and It cannot fall if the people do their part. Much Interest has been manifested in the proposed or ganization in this county and it is hoped that those in charge of it will not allow this interest to die. THURSDAY JUNE 3 1920 Florence County in holding an elec tion to vote on a bond issue of #450,- 000 for good roads is taking her place with the leading counties of the state. The election is to be he!d on June 22 and is practically certain to carry. In these times there are frfw who care to admit of their back wardness by venturing to oppose any sane proposition making for good roads. The strike disease does not‘mani fest itself often in Florenco. In that N^epect we are fortunate. At present however, there is an outbreak of the malady but the prospects are that it Will hot last long. Irish potato grow particularly are interested in an early settlement of the Railway Clerks strike as their shipping sea son will begin in a few days and a delay 0 ( f hours would mean a tremen dous loss to them. No county in the state is going forward along lines of crop diversifi cation in a greater degree of magni tude or with a greater degree of suc cess than Is Florence county. The program of ,diversification has been steadily taking root and gaining in favor in this county for a number of years, and while gaining ground ail along it has never been extensively put into practice until now, when a wave of diversification is sweeping the entire county and seems to be the program of every farmer for they are finding it profitable to have a diversi field crop for besides furnishing a liv ing for man and beast of the planta tion, there is becoming more and more a broader field for marketing those varied farm products. Florence is one of the first cities in and take definite steps for the orga- the state to grasp the opportunity nization of a Marketing Bur?au where an assortment of all field crops may be sold advantagious’y. It is an assured fact that the farm ers of this section' will find in the city of -Florence this F$]l a ready cash market .for any and all farm produce they may have for sale, and that they wUl be paid the market prices for their produce and that through the local' organizations they will be taken care of in the best pos sible w.ey, no* only in having a ready cash market at their door, but an or ganization working at nil times to their best interest, an organization having behind it -the power of ob taining the best possible shipping facilities, and in touch with the lead ing markets of the world, knowing at any time just where the best market- facilities may be had on any given article. •Crops are late it is true, and some farmers are disappointed because cotton plants are so small. A sage td’.ls us that a dry May means bump ob yields, provided of course the farmer has taken the proper advan- fa-tfe of the dry spell, and cleaned bis fields of grass and weeds. A warm rain today or tomorrow, lie added, would make aH the difference TiT the wrtMd !- f? fc ’the crohs,' and that warm rain is certain to come, “the feel of it’’ is in the air today. , How easy it would be to make Florence a beautiful as well as a thriving city! The streets are level, there is scarcely a lot iu the city Which does not run even with the Sidewalks, anything placed in the ground will grow almost without per suasion, and as far as we have been *We to discern, the people seem to have plenty of time to devote some of it to the care of their premises. One of the first things that should lie done In She ( effort to make Flor- once good to look upon, would be iu tear down the old fences that dis figure the eity. It is often the case here that a home beautiful in every other respect is marred by the pres ence of a brokendown fence. In these days when the city laws take care of the wandering chickens there ia nb reason why there should be any fences at all in Florence. A lawn with concrete coping in front of the lowliest dwelling would lend a touch pi attractiveness which would he surprising. While we are striviagwith might and main to place Florence iu the fore ranks of southern cities we should not forget the importance in fhi» scheme of well cared for and at- tractive homes. TODAYS BIRTHDAYS ♦ .With some of the strongest men of the state at its head and the various district and county organizations in the hands of leaders, there is smal! doubt that the South Carolina Devel opment Board will very soon become a •five working body, its purpose be ing the general uplift of South Caro linn. The idea is a splendid one and program as announced" is exten sjfve. Nothing can be accomplished, however, if the people of the state do not give the movement their sup pprt. We believe that when they more fully acquainted with the deficiencies of the state of which ttyey fere so proud, they will be all >• mo re ready to rally to the sup tort df any movement which would tend to the improvement of the con ditions. In the matter of education for example, the Russell Sage Four dglion places South Carolina as num * her 62, down along with Porto Rico le fact that eighteen thousand per- itly good and loyal democrats sign i the club rolls last year with “their by which is meant that they «>pld not write their names, bears dut the truth of our lack in educa ilonal progress.

It’s the fli;st warm eve ning of* the sea son, and without a doubt the people ’will sit out on their porches and enjoy the beauti ful nlr.” “They won’t en joy us,” said the second mosquito. “Well, I am sure we wouldn’t be fluttered if they did,” said the first mosquito. “If they enjoyed us * it would mean that we didn’t bite them, k and that would never do.” "It would never do,” agreed the sec ond mosquito. “Well, let's be off, for the sun has gone down and the people will have finished their suppers before long.” “All right,” said the first mosquito, “I’m ready, and I’ll give a call to the children ami to the cousins and to all of the family and relatives.” “Buzz-buzz-buzz.” came back the an swers. and soon all the mosquito rela tives had joined the first two mosqui toes. “Is everyone ready for a banquet?” asked the first mosquito. “Everyone, without a doubt,” said the mosquitoes. So they all started forth and buzzed along, talking of people who felt them most. “We don’t want to go to those who're not properly bitten by Tnosqut- toes,” said the first mosquito. “I heard some one say, the other day,” said the second mosquito, “that the two creatures she hated most, were the flies and the mosquitoes. She said she didn’t like yellow Jackets and hornets, but practically every other creature she liked. “Now, wasn’t that a compliment?” “A large one,” said they all. “What do yon mean by a large com- .pllment?” asked the second mosquito. "You should say a hlg compliment. But still what do we care ahout words except n few choice ones such os bite and’ bitten ami will bite?” "Ah, those are the words that make me glad,” said the first mosquito. “And the ones we like, too,” said all of the mosquitoes. “Ah.” said the first mosquito, “there are all the people sitting out of doors. I knew they would on a warm’evening like this. Folks like to sit out of doors, and I am glad that they do. “Let’s hurry, all of us.” So the mosquitoes hurried, and some of them went on one piazza where people were sitting ami some on another. The first and second mosqui toes were on a piazza where there purober of children, were so terribly ' mean that just wanted to bite, and they liked to bite children, for children could be bitten so easily. “I .believe I fait a mosquito,” said one little girl. “Goodie, goodie,” buzzed the first mosquito. “That Is fine,” said the second mos quito. it a pity,” some one said, a beautiful evening like this, warm one of the season, we be bitten In this fash- “Isn’t “that on the first should Ion ?’’ "They’re Die meanest things—mos quitoes—” said another. “Come on, that’s a good compli ment,” said the first mosquito, “let us rew’ard them for such speeches.” So they bothered the people and they especially bothered children, and after a time they *' were very when landed Justice Great The sense of jus In the human hear ERNOON.
