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

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.
