It was known South Carolina Relief officials ^Kere to take the matter up with the ^Hitional Relief Administrator on jBfalnesday and news of the outcome ^ ris awaited anxiously. Senator R. E. Bknnis received a telegram WednesBay night that the project had been .^fcpruved and the newspapers were "Bven information from Columbia on J^fcursday, the Columbia Record carBpr.g a full acount of it. Everyone is Blighted that this great project upon ^Huch several million dollars will be ^ pent is to be in otir county. For gB^1*5 come it will be a monument Lee County's resources and bring Bar county untold favorable publicity. Bice of the greatest benefits that will Bo doubt result will be the demonstration that will be given our people Bf the value of diversification. B Scuppernong grape culture is going Bbe engaged in on the project to an ;^fcmetuo extent, the grapes being Bei for making grape juice. We are Bformed that the Welch Grape Juice i^Bompany ha* already contracted with jS^ Government for the purchase of ^ 1 the grapes raised on the project. BEis county being ideally adapted to Bcopporm.ng. grape culture, it is pos|B^'e this will extend over a B^e P<irt of the county and give B* another great money crop. I Dairying is also to be encouraged l^with fine cows and this will no doubt Become very much more general. One Bf the most valuable features' of the Broject and one that may mean most Bo the county is the fact that u facB0^' 's to be built on the project to jBw the spare time of the residents B&ring the summer and winter. When jB is realized what an unlimited sup#' ?* high class labor exists in I?ee Bounty and other counties id'this secjjBon for skilled work in factories, it S* certain to mean the erection of Biore of them. People can live at iBomenow and drive to work at facB^ws and with the short hours of laB?r ^at now exists they can Am B1 8 ar-d .also do factory work. BJhe Government js now engaged in Baking an accurate survey of "each JF*ct Purchased and work will comCT^:e at nnce on cjjt&ng the tract up ^Pj?. small farms and in (building B?*?s over the project.

All of the present building B? the project will be torn down exBJ* Probably the old plantation'home Bj Ashwond, the Manning place. This Br no do'Jbt be preserved for the BT ?* hefore-the-war type of BKhitecture. B^hwe has continued to, be a good B*I of discussion about the type of B?" ents who will occupy the project.

Crowley of the Federal Deposit insurance corporation commenting on figures shown in the report covering 62 per cent of , the licensed hanks of the state said; "I believe the,confidence engendered by deposit insurance has iveen un important factor in promoting this substantial increase in bunk deposits." Loans and investments totaling $56,820,000 and cash and duo from banks including balances with tho federal reserve bank of district amounting to $31,781,000 were among other significant figures shown in the reports of condition of the insured commercial banks of 'South Carolina. Total deposits in these banks as of June 30, 1034, were $79,232,000 as compared with a figure of $68,789,000 December 30, last year. The total of capital account in the bunks was shown to be $11,619,000 by the tabulation. Sixty-three years a&o, Bismarck. | the old "Iron Duke" of Germany, made this statement: "A marvelous world we are living in today. Everything which used to stand on its fdet is now standing on its head." Wonder what he \yould say now, as the world is certainly not on its feet, and too giddy for the head. The most apt comparison that we know of iB that it is sitting on its tail behind the steering wheel.?Calhoun Times. \ Plenty Money The United States has an enormous reserve buying pcAver, according to a salesman's bulletin issued' by the national recovery administration.

The bulletin, which; gives a list of some of the nation'fe great financial reserves, expresses a belief that an examination of these] reserves will impart courage both to; buyer and seller. * vw?
