“The world and its business is op
erated on credit. Several days ago call
money in New York was 15 per cent
with three institutions in control;
what would it have teen had only one
been in control?
Recent analyses of South Carolina
fruits and vegetables continue to pile
up the high iodine content. A report
just received by Dr. William Weston,
managing director of tAie South Caro
lina Natural Resources commission,
giving additional figures, shows that
watermelons have an iodine content
of 402. When it is realized that the
average for South Carolina Irish po
tatoes is 211, and that South Carolina
potatoes are in insistent demand in
the goiter region on account of their
high iodine content, it will readily be
seen what a vast future opens up for
South Carolina melon growers in the
markets of the country.
The analysis of cotton seed meal,
which has been eagerly awaited for
the reason that animals suffer equally
Your tongue

with human beings in the goiter re
gions, has exceeded even the most op
timistic expectations. Cotton seed
meal shows an iodine content of 140.
Additional samples of lettuce, which
have been examined, raise the aver
age iodine content of this vegetable
from 761 to 912. Turnip tops have
gone up to the high average of 376.
Rye in hull shows 86. Beet tops are
averaging 657.
Some of the figures have already
b* er. published. A statement of the re
sults so far at the state laboratory in
rharleston, as furnished to Doctor
Weston and given out Saturday
throu^ John K. Aull, secretary of
'he Natural I^esources commission,
“will show an opportunity for the
growers of South Carolina fruits and
vegetables which has hardly yet been
realized,” said Mr. Aull, “and when
these figures are given to the goiter
regions, favorable reaction is certain
to be very swift in view of numerous
“I am a small farmer,” said the
speaker, “and last year had about 50
bushels of okra and one morning
threw a bushel in my car and carried
it to Columbia where a chain store
offered me only 35 cents per bushel
for it. The chain store is a merger of
I a lot of small stores and now your
old corner grocers are gone. Where
the farmer had ten men wanting to
buy his vegetables and products he
now has but one. The mergers are
here and there are going to be more.
^Tiat are we going to do about it?
The answer is through the law making
forces of congress, for they can surely
stop them. If something is not done in
ten years we will see individuals as
a mere speck among the organized
forces. Abraham Lincoln said a nation
canpot exist half free and half in
slavery. I say no nation can exist
where there is a double standard of
living. We are up against that prob
lem today.
“The average farmer in the United
States received $440.00 for his year's
work while that of the average indus
trial worker is $1,460.00. Is not the
farmer entitled to as high a stdndard
of living as anyone. I maintain that
the average farmer, tilling 31 acres
of land, and endeavoring to educate
an average family of five is up
against it and the result is deserted
farms.
The* speaker eyeing J. H. Hope,
state superintendent of education,
said “Don’t you ever allow W'ashing-
ton to take charge of your schools in
South Carolina, and please do not al
low them to have any influence over
our school system. Because if you do
you will rue the day when you do.”
The remedy, said the speaker, lies
in the right kind of education. “No
educated white people were ever in
slavery or ever will be.” Is the right
kind of education obtained at the big
universities where efficiency and the
money side of life are stressed or is it
obtained at the small colleges of the
state where the Word of God is
taught ? The hope of the. country lies
in the small institutions of the state
like Wofford, Furman, Presbyterian,
Erskine and Newberry.
Mr. Lever said that the busted
banks of the state had about ruined
him but “thank God I still have a good
wife and two children and courage to
fight and work and carry on.

Urges Remedial Legislation. Former
Congressman Principal Speaker
At Newberry Reunion.
Newberry ,Aug. 4. — The annual
Newberry college reunion took place
Saturday at Little Mountain and de
spite sweltering weather an unusually
large crowd, variously estimated at
around 5,000, composed of friends, stu
dents and alumni of Newberry college
camte from all sections of the state and
joined in making the occasion one nev
er to be forgotten.
Newberry college, like all other col
leges in the state, is proud of her
graduates and especially is this true
of Hon, Asbury F. Lever, a^fraduate
of Newberry college and a former
congressman from South Carolina,
who was the main speaker of the day.
Mr. Lever spoke of certain tenden
cies of the times, “a machine age in
which we live. Modem machinery, now
in force, makes us know that individu
als are more and more ceasing to have
that part in the affairs of the world
which they had before. It is an age of
organizing forces of man. It is a day
in which all kinds of business inter
ests are merging and wielding togeth
er individuals into one entity. This
business of merging is not restricted
to any one line of business as it is be
ing carried on in banks, oil companies,
food products companies and many
other lines too numerous to mention.
“The banking capital of South Caro
lina is today controlled by two insti
tutions. The Associated Bond and
Share company of New York city was
recently taken over by the Morgans
with the expenditure of over 100 mil
lions of dollars, and Mr. Lever de
clared that within five years the elec
tric power facilities of the United
States will be controlled by three com
panies and that the majority of the
stock will be ownetd by probably a doz
en multi-millionaires. The companies
referred to will be located in New
York, Chicago and San Francisco.
, “The greatest word in the English
language today is power (electric) and
we right here in our midst are realiz
ing the power of electric power.
The chain stores of the land then
came in for comment by the speaker
who predicted that within six months
the food supply of the nation will be
in a merger and in control of practi
cally one group of men, thus enabling
