Today a site is being selected, plans have been drawh and arrangements made to construct a modem market building, to be known as the Kershaw County Farm Market, just as soon as the “all clear” haa been received from Washington. The first farm market, which came World War, waa the first ot Uw kind to be established in the United States, if not In the world. X^e proj ect attracted nation-wide attention and interested parties came from all parts of the country to observe and then return home with enthnsiasm at a high pitch. Today, over SS years after the tnaugeral of the idea here, farm markets are an Integral part af the dally program In thousands of communities. The new market bulldhfg, plans for whkdi were prepared years ago and work upon which was halted by the war, wiH be colonial in design and of frame, plaster and brick conatroetion.

The Conyers Uxl line has headquarters in the vacant lot east of the Ckmdea hotel, while the Hinson outfit is now off the highway.

Twenty-one of the accidents oc- enred on state highways. This shows an increase for the same month of 1944 of ten per cent. Thirteen i^estrians were killed and 17 were injured, as compared with 16 killed and 11 injured the same month of last year. Seven of the killed, and iivjared in Aiifust. INIi ware tn tbe 6-14 year age group, tbe same as for August, 1944. Forty-slx per cent of the total deaths during Auguqj, 1946, were pedestrians.

Report Skowu That Carolinaa Have ’’Preferred Loca- tiooa** For Mills Potentialities For Recreation Program Strong In ^immunity The recent announcement that South Carolina is one of the few preferred locations for an apparently assured large-scale removal of textile plants from New Ehigland and mid- Atlantic states Into the South, should be of much interest to tbe Camdha and Kershaw county interests seeking to bring new indnstrles to this area. The planning committee of the Na tional Paper Box Manufacturers asso ciation is authority for the announce ment. The survey which Eklwin S. Dillard of Charlotte, made reports that the textile industry is planning, just as soon as circumstances permit, expansions and improvements that will require expendituree totaling $640,000,000. which is a sizeable amount of cash. Great technological changes are in the offing, these changes expected to result from improved equipisont. a tendency toward ipetallatlou ot mute- TisHdu teutpUMfit aad Important other developments. Production in the textile Industry, averaging some 14,000,000,000 annual ly before the last war, will increase St least another billion dollars. It will be one of the mainstays of the American economy in the post war period. Commenting on the tendency of thd industry to remove pleats to the southern states, the committee of which Mr. Dillard is chairman, ex plained that the reason (or smeh moves are practical and sensible. With all cotton products and many of the synthetic creations, tbe new planta would be closqr to the sources of sup ply In tha South. Increasea of employment in the tex tile industry also are forecast by the removal of war time restrictioas and whan raw materials become more plentiful. Listing “signposts for prosperity” the committee “conservatively esti mated” needs of the textile industry during the first five post war years. Among these estimates are the fol lowing: Advertising, $800,000 a month more than normal; recreation faclll- lies ior. employaao. A8A88A00; auto- matie and fiOUr 'machtiiiery. ISO.OOO.OOP* in 1948 and $10,000,000 annuiUly there after; buildings, new construction and remodeling, $200,000,000 In 1946 and $30,000,000 annually thereafter; cash registers. 12.000; typewriters, 16,000 to 18,000; furniture, $9,000,000 annually.
