Thi. shortest route between Wash ington and Florida , by at least 150 milts i< by way of Southern Pines, Cheraw. McBee, Camden, Columbia and Aiken to Augusta. The principal win?*-r resorts already developed south of Washington and north of Florida, are situated on it. It pene trate a region of 2&0 miles in South Carolina having the climate and soil of A>ken and Camden.' Tlu- improvement of ?this highway in The State's opinion, is a matter of immense financial interest to South Carolina. The winter tourists from the North are ho longer confined to the wealthy. Thousands of persons in moderately well-to-do circumstances come to the south in their automobiles anil the numbers are rapidly increas ing- Families can live in the South, escaping the Northern, cold, cheaper than they can live at home. The sav ing in fuel bills probably covers the cost of motor travel. Were the roads always pleasant to travel, dozens and scores of small hotels and boarding' houses would be erected between Southern Pines and Aiken. Cheraw, McBee, Aiken Lexington and at all the villages would have them. Many would be built outside of villages, the > countryside would be dotted with them. In time, thousands of acres of the lands would be set in orchards and the whole region would prosper. The northern family wishes to get out of the North ih wirtter ? they are not so eager to go to Florida. " The territory in South Carolina north of Columbia is about half way between Florida and Washington and the mo tor travelers, many of them, prefer a winter home not so distant as Florida from their Northern homes. Nothing so quickly enriches a local ity as tourist travel. Florida is im mtn.se I y prosperous mainly because Florida is a playground. A first rate road maintained from the North Carolina to the Georgia border through the towns mentioned would yield to the people of Sotith Carolina, directly, the cost of its im provement in one season. Indirectly it would bring into the state millions of dollars in two or three years. The ?State Ixdieves that to the people of tne state it would be even more profit able than the railroad serving the sa?'' rt>?.i?n is. This road should be in perfect con dition before the winter travel to the South sets in next October. ? The State. Facts About South Carolina. (By the Associated Press.)

V " ? ' " ? V; I Small Brodtn Factory at Gr#f . I'nique Industry. < (Greenville News.) .** Operated entirely by blind persons Greenville has a factory* in which not only first quality fkrticles arei sent forth to advertise this city but which eventually may furnish employment for from 25 to 50 blipd persons. The sunshine eptfcTs the factory where these Roods are made but the workers thenfselves, unable to 'see, bottle jt into their goods and send it out into the >vf)rld to combat dust, dirt, disease and even death. ' * yThe Greenville Broom Factory, listed among the latest of the "diver sified industries," of the "Textile ?Center of the South" boasts of a ca reer hs checkered and touching as any tho master of drama might attempt to portray. Its start was handicapped by lack of finances but this was over come and then .the' state N insurance laws came along, putting an end to. its operation. Kind friends again came to the rescue and the plant is now turning out from 24 to 30 brooms daily. Another side is to the industry in that the. manager, F. S. Sherman, Is encouraging farmers of Greenville county to grow broom porn for broom making. At the present this is se cured exclusively, from Iowa and Indi ana, but Mr. Sherman believes Green ville county farmers can grow the product successfully, thus making another handicap for the boll weevil to overcome. The little factory is now running on full time and while men and wo men throughout the city tti*e about their business in home, office or fac tory, four blind persons who have never seen the sunshine of this world, busily pull, cut and trim the broom sage. 1 Every particle of the work is done by blind persons from the opening of the bales of broom corn to the wrap ping of the wire and velvet about the finished article, and the stamping of the tag on the broom handle. Islo eye seen but the keenly sensi tive hands of the master workman trained from long years of touch, enable them to instantly detect any material which might not come up to the proper standard. While the plant has beefi in opera tion since the first of the year only, it has an interesting history in that time. ?Mr. Sherman; an experienced broom maker, had tried to keep tho wolf from the door with the profit derived from the selling of such articles as candy, chewing gum and pencils. Slowly but surely the little stock of goods became depletecf and the pro fits were not enough to keep the fam ily pot boiling. The case of Mr. Sherman became known and was presented to Rowtma Lodge, Knights of Pythias, by Jonn A. Russell, well known local whole saler. The lodge came to the rescue of Mr. Sherman by. advancing the sum of $125 to buy the material to be used in starting the broom fac tory. Other friends resurrected, so to speal^ some machinery from an abandoned broom factory and plans were ready for the plant to start. But where? Another obstacle con fronted, but not to be outdone Mr. Sherman, opened the little factory in the basement of. the Park View apart ments where he resided. , An inspec tor of the state insurance department came around, saw the plant, noted the inflamable material and stopped operations. Another obstacle i encountered but the little factory was not to be doom ed so easily. J. P. ( 'ray ton, of a local sash and door company gave the ma terial and a small plant, which re sembles a cow barn was erected in the rear of the Park View apart ments. J. P. Edwards donated the use of the lot and the factory was erected and in operation in a few days. Now it is operating at full time, having electricity for propell ing the machinery of the plant. A friend of Mr. Sherman offered* to give him $300 for use in buying additional material but the blind man positively declined to take it. At" last, after much persuasion, he ac cepted it as a loan only. Since that time he has paid back approximately $270, in addition to making a living for himself and family. The loan ad vanced by Pythian Lodge has been repaid also. "Fifty thousand brooms are used or sold in Greenville homes, mills and offices during: a year," Mr. Sherman said. "We don't want to sell them aTl, but I am only seeking to furnish additional employment for blind per sons. 1. "If all the brooms used here were made in Greenville they could fur nish employment for 50 blind persons. That number of persons would be t4ken off the street, if given a chance to earn a living at something they can do. My hope is to increase the plant until that number of blind per sons can be given an opportunity to earn their bread." The heart of the blind broom mak er was light, even as light a.4 the sun filled room which he could not see. To him had come an order of hun dred brooms and he hoped it was but the beginning of a stream of orders which would continue until his dreams would be fulfilled. For blind people can dream, even though they have never seen the sun shine which God put here for some of His people. Mrs. \Vaddy Thomson Dead. I ancaster, S. C. June 3. ?
