Now ami again some town, county ,?? business celebrates an event In Its ilatory. A few of our towns are a m ml red years old; here and there i county looks back over a hundred rears; once In a while a business onlerprlhe celebrates a long period of ('ears. A year ago The hklKelleld Advertiser relehrtltml and Issued a mammoth mini' her; about the same time The Lftnoasler News observed a meat occasion with one of the most notable editions in the history of Journalism. Just a eouplo of weeks ftfto The llartsville Messenger told -us of the long and remarkahlo history -of the J. L. Coker and Coni|*uiy enterprise; now Kdltor Coffee plans to rejuk'u in the 70th Anniversary ef The News and Press of grand old Darlington. Spectator claims a part??and wishes to Identify himself?with Darlington County, for ho Is a grandson of Darlington <S>unty, his mother having come from illustrious Society Hill, her people being among the Welch wOio settled the Welch Neck. Two of Sj>ectator's ?1bi*hh and one of his brothers rest In the soil of Darlington county. If this scribe has 011 many occasions referred to the grandeur of Society Hill?and all Darlington county?It has been not merely because he Is a proud grandson of tho county, but because of rho transcendent genius and virtue which have flowered Iiia that county so notably that any study of real greatness in South Carolina must lead one to Darlington. My chivalrous friend of Charleston, Mr. C. Norwood Hastle, enjoys twitting me for either having been born reared, or killed in every counfy of the state. It Is true that Spectator enjoys a peculiar advantage because he has lived in so many counties of the state. From early days In Charleston, as a lad In the schodls, to his later days in Charleston, when he served for a time on the faculty of The Citadel, Spectator has roamed about, claiming proudly a Bonship by adoption In the rich counties of Clau-endon, Orangeburg. Hdigefleld. Anderson, Aiken, Saluda, Richland and York. Of course he has been buttressed by the proximity of Williamsburg. Colleton, Sumter, and Florence Counties. South Carolina is not keeping up with progress in a material sense; she is not receiving as many millions of dollars In new investments as are coming to other states; she has not 011 every hand a?s many visible tokens of progress and prosperity as may be seen In other places; but it is a fine old State and there are many of us who love it. The things which endear tho State to us are certain spiritual qualities given by our fathers; our duty is to develop that which cur fathers loft us and even to strike out boldly to put our State In the forefront. We Carolinians, sons of Carolina by birth, have a very special obligation to carry on the work of our fathers. If I were looking for a brilliant example of tho work of tho fathers being glorified by the work of the sons 1 should go to the little city of llartsville and stop right there. We men of the South have been very proud of certain qualities of our fathers; but just as they achieved something in their day, we ought to achieve something in our day. It is for that reason I point to Hartsville. It began with a fine -soldier of the Confederacy who looked forward all his days. This forward look is still the dominant characteristic of those , who carry on the great enterprises he founded or inspired. Let us today join hands with all men of vision and purpose to lift South Carolina from her lowly state and to put her where she ought to be. "Greece declares war on italy" said the headlines. Many will say "Well' here's another victim to add to the list ?Poland, Norway, Denmark, Holland ind France. No one expects Greece to , lo more than perish creditably." France did not do even that, and njllions of us feel heart-sore over France ?admiration, affection and mortiflcaion being intermingled. But the entry >f Greece brings vividly before us the ' hanges in fortune which time brings. In every community boys and girls ire studying the "Glory that was j Greece". Not merely was Greece the tome of philosophy and art, but of ,vhat little science that was known. | t was the home of pure democracy, ?ven tho word Greek, meaning the ule of the people.

W, Watkins, director of the Fxtcnaion Service says he is very much in favor of the idea of promoting cottons for Christmas, believing that this specific program advocated by various farm loaders will bo more effectivo than a general publicity program on using more cotton. 'Phis now Idea grow out of an adv rllslng plan originated last year by R. A. Oliphant of the Victor Fertiliser Company? at Chester. Instead of the usual paper calendars, pencils, etc,, the Victor Company at Mr. Oliphsnt's suggestion distributed to their customers sots of cotton kitchen towels labeled "Uae More Cotton Goods." In contrast to the small response of previous years, more than four in every ten customers wrote letters of thanks for the. towel gifts. This year the Victor Company is using all cotton goods In Its direct mall advertising and distributes towels and pot holders to Its customers. The Chester Council of Farm Women at lia recent fall meeting went on record as approving the plan originated by Mr. Oliphant and urged all possible use of cotton for advertising novelties and for gifts. Additional suggestions by Mr. Watkins in connection with cottons for Christmas Include the possibility of having Christmas cards made of cotton. somewhat on the order of the cotton stationery now In ubc. Also, In addition to gift articlos made of cotton, as advocated by the National Cotton Council of America, and which may be practical or decorative, wearable or otherwise serviceable in the home, there is a suggestion that gift wrappings for Christinas packages might be of cotton materials such as colorful ginghams, calicos, gay prints or even plain cloth. In one year, the United States uses nearly 1,000,000,000 electric lamps of nil sizes. <*>r as many ne all tilie rest of uhe combined world uses.
