Price per snnum 92.00, payable in mdrmr.*. Friday, August 10. 1931 WKAR COTTON (iOODH The Governor of South Carolina has appointed the week, of April 2027 as "wear cotton goods" week. During the month of ApiHl there will be several exhibitions uf locally-made products, including cotton goods; n >tably the exhibits to* be held in Columbia, Greenville and Anderson. P is the idea of many leading South Carolinians that we should during this month make a special effort to emphasise the "live at home" movement. In cooperation with this idea, trie Cotton Manufacturers Association >f South Carolina, as is their custom, are throwing the weight of their in^ fluence behind thU effort. They are contributing to the cause an advertisement, appearing in The Chronicle and nearly every other paper in the state. The cotton manufacturing industry is so large that they accept mo?v than the ordinary share of thy .responsibility in helping re-establish econr mic conditions in the state, i?nd all South Carolinians should gladly and enthusiastically support them in their of forts. We would like to see the newspapers in each eommunits initiate a movement among the merchants and women to display cotton J good - and advertise them freely dur-1 ing "wear cotton good.-" week. We i won like to see each community hi gan d it: clubs and groups to forwar hi movement, and arouse t'he public to trie importance of cotUwi. It is in the interest of prosperity for all South Curolinians that we hasten the permanent return to popularity of cotton goods. Spring This is the time of the year when the town man begins to wonder if the dear little fish down in the creek aren't getting hungry. ~ Clinton Chronicle. As long as the people of this slate continue importing food products to the value of $150,000,000 a year that ought to be produced in this state, we are going to continue to squawk about hard times, taxes, etc.?Yorkville Enquirer.
