COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
<I*y Spectator!
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.

EXTENSION SERVICE URGE8
"COTTON FOR CHRISTMAS"
Clemson, Nov. 4 - "Cot tons for
Christmas" Is u slogan and a prut" loo
on doited by tbo Intension Service for
Increasing domestic consumption of,
cotton wllh useful gifts and attractive
novel tlos.
i). 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
