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.”

FARMERS NEED RAIN
Cleaning [looks.
Most frmlly libraries fire disfigured
by one or two once lovely volumes In
unpractical bindings of pale silk or
white Ivnlher dimmed by grime. Art
purn or a sort of kneaded eraser may
clean them. If not, try fine powdered
pumice, lightly applied with a clean
chamois. This Is what picture deal
ers use to clean the margins of old
prints. It roughens the surface less
than nihbor.
The cotton crop, which is the short- !
cst in the history of this county, has
been materially helped luring the pat t
week by the hot. dry weather. Cot
ton which is a hot, dry weather plant,
ha made considerable headway anti
has wonderfully Improved during the
past week. The farmers have hal ex
fceltcut weather in which to do their
(farm work aud the crops of the coun
ty are in ercellent condition, clean of
jgrass and well worked up.
The tobacco crop is suffering slight
ly for rain and the corn crop needs
moisture very badly. The farmers
| are now ready for and would welcome
-.a good seasonable rain.
A Satisfactory Purchase
What a satisfaction there is in buying diamonds of a reputable con
cern that deals only in quality merchandise and whose guarantee
and advice may be depended upon absolutely.
Diamonds that enhai.ee in value as the years roll by must be of the
highest grade, perfectly cut— and rightly bought. Stones oi ordin
ary quality are not rare and will not attain any great value at any
time.
Invest in diamonds now. Let us show you some gems that will
prove a wise purchase, and demonstrate new ways of mounting
them that will materially enhance their attractiveness. .

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, £
