The same Law of God, that was the only adequate guide in the past, had to be again fol lowed if right living was to be main tained and the favor of God continued. Ezra, the scribe, Joes not appear in erential worship was assumed by the appreciative audience. These readers uttered the words “distinctly” and “gave the sense.” There is a fine opportunity for just such action and interpretation when ever the Bible is read in public.

Bift ^ith scarcely a glance at the audience those requirements must be first should be listening intently, known to be followed, and the that as a whole the state had such a high iodine content that no other state in the union could compete with it. The problem, explained Mr. Smoak, was to educate the people of the state as to the, wonderful opportunity which they had in growing vegetables on ac count of the high iodine content and then marketing them through the for mation of canning companies. It was the plan of the commission, he said, to encourage the operation of canner ies in every county of the state. “I come to you today,” said Mr. Smoak, “with a message of hope and cheer.” Never, he said, had he seen anything that has done more to dis sipate gloom and stir up enthusiasm over the future of the state than the campaign now being conducted to i realize the benefits from the iodine ■ discovery. The Pee Dee section has' already been organized, he said, and' the Piedmont section will be organ ized this weerk. Then will follow the' organization of the central section, after which will follow a stat9-.wide meeting of country resource commis sioners to work out a program of de velopment. This is not a sectional or political movement, he'said, but a plan for the development cl the state i as a whole and he made an earnest \ plea for united support. j Mr. Smoak urged upon his hearers ‘ the importance of growing more vegetables as a substitute for cotton and also the importance of South Car olina people buying their own pro ducts. He called attention to the wide .'field of opportunity to be found in j growing the large amount of vege- I tables and dairy products, both fresh and canned, being brough into the State from other sections and urged that housewives demand the home products from ::ie:r grocers. He charged that the large number of bank and business failures in the state during the past few years was due to the state’s own delinquencies in not growing and buying its owm productSs Over $5,000,000 in dairy products alone, he said, come into South Caro lina from one state, not to mention other products brought from other states. The state, he said, cannot be gin to prosper until the people grow what they eat. The demand for South Carolina vegetables has already been created, he said, and it only remains to produce and market them to reap the benefits which belong rightly here. back many of those who have already departed. The state cannot hope to hold its young people, he said, when there was nothing here for them to do. The meeting was held under the auspices of the extension forces of Clemson college and was planned by County Agent C. B. Cannon and County Home Agent Mary Shaw Gil liam. A large number of people, in cluding many women, attended and gave the speaker very close attention.

(Con trary to earlier opinions, he said, it had been found that the iodine con tent was higher in the Piedmont coun ties than in the coastal counties, but THE TALE LITE Published By the Back Seat Driver VoL2 September 12, 1929 No. 22 Published for the benefit of the motorists of Clinton and vicinity by the * Clinton Motor Co.
