Industrial Economy Boosted During Past Year Columbia, January 7 — The growing South Carolina economy received a substantial boost dur ing 1954, according to data re leased today by S. W. Gable, act ing director of the State Deveb opment Board. More than $76,000,000 was spent or allocated for industrial development in the state during the year, bringing the post-war industrial growth of South Caro- experience in growing pepper will i ina to approximately $938,000,- be given preference but since the county will have 400 acres of pepper this year, it is felt that all growers will be given considera tion. Of course there will be some old growers who will not apply again for pepper acreage due to disappointing returns, and there will be others who have never grown pepper before who will wish to try this year. The meeitng is open to the pub lic. The pepper acreage is not un der any government program. The guaranteed price paid by the company will be $90.00 per ton.

County 000. “One of the most encouraging features of the year," Mr. Gable said, “was the healthy and sub stantial growth of our present in dustry. These plants have spent or are spending about $60,000,- 000 for expansion, greatly adding to their productive capacities and increasing peyolls by the mil lions.” He said the 1954 development created 5,400 new Jobe with added payrolls in excess of $14,000,000. There are 31 new plants and 63 expansions recorded. In its ninth annual report de livered to the General Assembly this week, the Development Board cited the importance of the •fact that two basic wool process ing plants are now located here. “From the standpoint of Ipng- rarvge development of South Carolina’s industrial economy/’ the report said, “the most sig nificant occurrence of the fiscal year was doubtless that of the coming of the two wool plants. “The announcement that Nich ols St Co. of Boston and Prou- vost Sc Co. of France, the two largest wool processors in the world, would build plants in South Carolina was the culmina tion of many years of work in the department. The board had long realized that the development of our woolen and worsted industry would depend in luge measure on securing the basic wool pro tea River Wool Combing Co n to Jamestown, the way was clearad for the port of Charleston to win its long sought opportunity to be come a port of entry for wool, its advantages for which have been heralded for years by the Devel opment Board and the State Ports Authority. “Although the process may re quire many years, it is safe to predict that this development will lead to many new spinning and weaving plants using wool,” the report concluded. Sen. Thurmond 'Pleased' With 3 Committee Posts Washington, Jan. 10 — South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond said this afternoon he was “highly pleased” to receive three commit tee assignments as a freshman senator. He received three of the six committee assignments which he had suggested as his preference; interstate and foreign commerce, public works and government op erations. In being named to three commit tees, Senator Thurmond became one of a small number of senators who serve on more than two com mittees. On public works he will outrank two other freshmen because Sena tor Daniel (D.-S. C.) resigned De cember 24 to give him seniority over eight other newcomers. Birth Announcement' lowing places: 1.

It is symbolic of the highly com petitive oil industry in particu- lur—and of our free system of doing things in general The con trast with the service stations in most other coutries is said by those who have traveled abroad in their own cars to be most striking One South Carolinian who went abrqped last summer and who traveled over Europe in the car of his son who is living over there said: "Nobody wiped my windshield or checked my oil. They have simply never heard of such a thing as service over there. They never heard of rest rooms.” American motorists have much for which to be thankful.

ARE YOU NERVOUS; IRRIT ABLE; EASILY EXCITED; AFRAID OF CROWDS? Do “weak nerves” hamper your social life as well as your ability to get ahead? Nerve strength and balance can be re stored with treatments at the Hart Clinic in Laurens. The fol lowing cases are typical of the amazing results obtained under Dr. Hart’s care: ’ This young man was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He was off work and actually afraid to return to his job. He was subject to weak nervous spells. The cause of his trouble was traced to a blocked nerve emiting from the spinal cord. After Dr. Hart removed the cause of his trobbie, hit ner vousness disappeared and he felt so much better that he re turned to work the same week. This case concerns that of a woman age 26. Shortly after the birth of her last child she began to have nervous spells. At the least provocation she would break down and cry for hours. She was unable to care for her small children and the nervous spells prevented her from going to church as well as to social functions. She stated that life w«s miserable for her and the entire family due to her nervousness. Dr. Hart’s experience in handling such disorders en abled him to locate the cause of her trouble and make cor rection. She regained her rtrength and composure when the nerve balance was re stored. Within a few weeks the nervous crying spells disappeared and she was able to care for her house hold and attend church. She continued to improve until completely restored to nor mal health. The Hart Clinic in Laur ens h<4ps restore health by restoring normal body, bal ance and nerve flow. You may consult Dr. Hart with assurance that your nervous condition can be improved and your health restored to normal. Call Laurens 22501 for an appointment and find out how you can get well. Ml.
