"The record of the recent liepubM ?au Congress and the platform and candidates of the RepuhliOall National ?oavention make Democratic victory in the next election almost certain. Tictory will !><? certain if the Pemo arats adopt a ^ijtyralght forward, un equivocal. unevac^ve, honest and liberal platform and put forward candidates who will command public confidence. We must stand .squarely for ratifica tion of the league of nations without debilitating reservations and we must be direct and exipllclt on the import ant domestic issues. The UmcH^are not propitious for equivocation or for appeals t<. Mind passloy off'to doctrines of hate, or- for reactionaries -and good will at home and into the great and swelling voice of humanity, which cries aloud for ]>cace and good will at homeland in the world and for the op portunity t.i live in- an atmosphere of justice, progress and prosperity. "I feci sure that my friends will appreciate the sincerity and propriety of my position and that the* will do everything in their power at San Fran cisco to assure the continuation ,of the lightened principles and liberal pol icies of Democracy.

They were men of vision and soon hhw that the lands through which their roads traversed would soon be UniK?ver tefefd by th? abandonment of the resin and turpentine industries, and thelr aim was to direct th? attention of far mer 'Along other lines of Industry. 5W same Is trne t inlay of the present organisation in that it seeks l(o teach the farmers to raise other crops ue? side cotton. Mr. Guion is as Well post ed on present agricultural coalitions as perhaps any man in thin state, lie has traveled extensively* ?nd gave the audience a good talk on the aim* of tl?e Development Board. Hon. W. lira t ton del/oach was then called upon for a short talk and made a most, pleasing address. Mr. de Loach Sold his hearers that ho was farming to some extent in Barnwell county and ha4-Juat ret uwwl- front that .county. The boll weevil has made II sell alreadv felt In that section of the etate uhtll 'lt Is a fact that farmer* a iv plowing up their cotton and plant other crops. Mr. del/well says that It is a well known fa^t that weevils fly at night and that automobile* tra versing the country carry them from one county to another lu n short time. Bx. Governor John C. Srtieppard, of Kdgef ield, who was to be the speaker of tl?e evening made a most interesting and instructive talk. Ho made a_plw\ for a "Back to the Farm" movement, and ' warned his hearers that It would be a sad (lay when the white farmers left the farms and dwell in cities to let the colored man take over the farms. He spoke of the ndvenl of ?ie boll wee vil as a?i* act of Providence, to teach the (people of this favored section that Che soft contains unlimited posaibt'll -ttesjir Not dinibg his married life, he Soiil, he bad n?*<w*??Qd a ??*' ?f tabltw or canned goods JOBraMf that bore a South Carol Urn ta4fl--J>e cause there were none. He said tnar he did not k?now whether it would be called n sacriliglous act or not but It was a fact that the people of ? certain town In Alabama had erected * monu ment to the boll weevil ? given that in aect. credit for having revolutionized farming, and also holding him account able for the fact that the farmers ami business men had more money than ever before, profits derived from other crops that the Weevil could not feed upon. Governor tfhepiwrd stated tjiiit he had an abiding faith in man s brain and that there never had been a crisis but what the American. people solved it and that they would not faH down this time. He urged support of the South Carolina Development Board and spoke of the good to, be 'derived by co operative marketing, and he hoped Jhat the few that were out that evening would ' go out and tejl their friends of the \vork this hoard i* undertaking. (Governor Sheppard stated that It was twenty-four years ago this slimmer that he was in Camden in the fatrtrost of his campaign and regretted that there were many faeflfc missing (lie had the pleasure of meeting at that cime. Mr. I!. F. Lion. who' in organizing the count lew of the State in this work then told of the work. He ha* traveled extensively In work of this kind In other state*, and knows of no state In the union that posseiS&es greater pos sibilities than South Carolina. He dis tributed, pamphlets and literature des cribing the aims and made a strong plea for support -of the work. At the close of Mr. Ivion's address Mr. Johnson asked that a rising vole of thanks be given to Governor Shepard for his eloquent address. The audience assembled also unanimously endorsed the work of the South Carolina De velopmen t Boa r ch First Cotton Blooms Moultrie Burns, son of Mr. James II.
