DINNER ( Continued from Page f ' SOVIET RUSSIA DENIES LIABILITY GOMPERS WANTS LABOR TO SUPPORT LEAGUE divided for the purpose of the cam paign and in each of the 4t» counties, other men have formed district and county committees because they too were certain of the continued ettl- .:ient management of the board’s af fairs.” Taking up the other three esse.:- rials, it was pointed out that the de velopment board has a program of the nost definite character. The items composing this are largely those vnicn' have been urged upon it be cause of its accomplishments in the ear of its activity. “We have tentatively proposed the ■reation of 18 cowmisrions,” it was ;aid. “These have been suggested be :ause they represent undertakings for •vhich there is a general demand and •io exsting means of carryin on in the tate-wide way which the people want, in this connection, emphasis should be given to the fact that the functions if tne South Carolia Development Board are mainly educational. Let us think of the establishment of a home aash market as an illustration. ‘ The Board lias already collected all the Information (here Is on (his sub ject. It has thorough',y digested the nfonnatin and evolved a plan of or- mnization and operation which is ex actly suited to South Carolina condi tions. It has already created a desire hi a number of communities for the establishments of such markets, -and will soon set about the task of put ting (hem in operation. The board cannot of itself set up these markets; hat Is, organize and finance them. But it will show the people of a com munity how to do it, and w411 advise and foster a market until the local man agement is able to carry it on unaid ed. “So with other projects. The board cahnot lend money on live stock, for instance, but it can encourage the live stock industry by creating a de mand for live stock by hanks, by co operating with Clemson College in the production of suitable grains, grasses and forage, by advertising South Carolina as a live stock state. “The board cannot of itself alter the laws relating to assessment and taxation. But it can carry on an edu cational campaign which will have the effect of inducing the constituted lawmakers to amend the existing laws, if that is found to be a desir able thing to do. The board cannot build good roads, but it can co-oper ate with the State Highway Commis sion to the end that more good roads will be built. “These are all educational projects, Calculated to help bring South Caro lina up to that condition which Gov ernor ( ooper has described as put ting our house in order for the ex- ’peeled guest—making South Carolina the best state in the I'nion and then itelling it to the world.” WILL NOT RECOGNIZE DEBTS CONTRACTED BEFORE 1917..

LET US HELP “YOU & CO.” The First National Bank f 5* f Of Florence. V r t '‘Almost Everything in Banking” a OUR PATRONS Unusual business conditions have caused unusual conditions at our plant. As the public knows f X we are building an eutirelynew ice plant which was to have been completed by March last. ♦> It was necessary to practically dismantle our old machinery to make room for the new. Due to | circumstances over which we had no control shipment was delayed. Labor shortage has contri- .❖ bated father to our embarrassment. Much of the machinery was finaly secured by express at great ♦ cost and we are now pushing the work to the limit. Soon we will have an ice plant second to none j* in the state for capacity and efficiency. Unusual demands created by the sudden and continued | hot weather caused the temporary ice shortage. We are .shipping no ice to other points, but at £ the same time can secure none from other points. We ask the public to bear with us just a few £ 9 days. The new plant will soon be completed and it will then not be necessary to limit the supply £ x to any one purchaser. Respectfully, £ THE FLORENCE ICE & FUEL COMPANY | 0. G. WESTON, Manager.
