report. Two hundj?ed or more families
need the assistance, the committee
estimated.
In the governor's appeal he pointed

and fail vegetables for the feeding of
their families and livestock during
the coming winter."

Home For Old People Is Built.
Sparta, Ga., Sept. 7.?The negroes
of Hancock county who are members J
of the Hancock Missionary Baptist
Association are planning a unique
home for old people. It probably will
be the only institution of its kind in
.the south.
These negroes have been working
on the project for over ten years and
now the dream is almo&t fulfilled.
They bought eighty-fivfc acres of good
land in the southern section of the
cotfnty, near Linton, as the first step,
paid for it a year or so ago. They
started thei^ to get a building on the
land. This building now has been
erected and is practically completed.
It consists of six large rooms with
hall between them and a large dining
room which will accommodate all of
the inmates at one time. This building
will house from twenty to twentyfive
old people and each one of them,
who is able to work, will be allowed
n small tract of land for gardens, etc.
After this house is filled they hope to
gradually erect more buildings as
needed.
The association will furnish food
and care for the old negroes as long
as they live. Their enterprise has been
commended warmly by white people
of this section, and is no doubt a
worthy and much needed institution.
The Missionary Baptist Association
covers Hancock, Washington, Baldwin,
and Laurens counties with several
churches in dach county.
D. A. Gaston, Jr., of Aiken, has
been appointed secretary of the ways
and means committee of the general
assembly to succeed James M. Smith,
resigned, according to announcement
of Chairman McCaslan of the committee.
In an address at Greenville Saturday
night to cotton mill operatives,
George Saul, of Denver, Col., organizer
for the International Laljpr Defense,
is quoted as saying, "Our fight
with the capitalists is not one with
guns at this stage of the game."
Close to 1,000 bales of cotton were
sold on the Orangeburg market during
last week, at prices ranging from
18.25 to 18.75 cents per pound.

Haven't you often wished that you could
be with friends who have moved to other cities?
They may be far away, yet you can easily keep in
touch with them; talk over old times, and make
plans for the future. When they're ill or when
anniversaries and birthdays come around you can
join them with your voice.
Recent service improvements have made dUttQt _ - telephone
conversations a pleasure. Generally, con- *
neetions are made almost as quickly as with local
calls. In most cases you can hear just as clearly as
if you were talking to a friend around the corner.
You'll be surprised, too, to learn how inexpensive
these voice visits now are. At 8:30 o'clock in
the evening, and again at midnight, reductions are
made ill the station-to-station rates. And Ions distance
calfa return so much in the way of friendship
and satisfaction. Keep friendships alive?telephone.
