MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRE5S The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of r.ews dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper, and also the local WKDNKSDAY. APRIL. 12. 1922. We tlo not wish to overstate the matter of huildinir a cannery factory here, yet tlo we feel so greatly the need lor such an enterprise that we \enture to continue to urge its importance. There is no single thing that will help so quickly, and help more effectively than will such a move, in our humble judgment. And we feel that if the progressive citizens of this county diil but realize just how great is the opportuity, there would be a very hearty response to the appeal for additional subscriptions to stock. Those who have taken one share at $." () would double; and many who have taken no stock would make haste to do so. The average cannery just starting fails, if it does fail, for one of two reasons. Lack of product to tan and, lack ot* adequate capital to tide the venture over the first year. It will take ten thousand dollars to finance the operation of the cannery the first season. This money is necessary as operative capital, not capital invested in equipment. It will be necessary to purchase three car loads of cans at first and an additional car i-ii-ij iiiitmnii iIK* canning season. It would be merest folly to try to avoid making that preparation. It will require $.'{,G00 to buy the tirst shipment of cans. The product that comes from the fields must be paid for in cash and the first month's labor bill will have to be met, and these needs will require three or four thousand dollars, at least, during the first month and before we can hope to market the first carload of tomatoes. We now ? ? . ItfUrti. Jul??ij?h,t. ten-^hqysujad dollars? just about enough to pay for lot, building and equipment. The other ten thousand is necessary to enable us to make the first turn-over. We have faith to believe that we will be able to assemble the additional ten thousand dollars. If you can take one or more : hares of stock, we urge you to do so. We believe in this thing; we believe it will yield a reasonable return on your investment. If pluck and hard work and careful management can make it go, we are determined that succeess hall come. Why not help us to make it succeed? You would, did you thoroughly understand the situation. We to looking for 20 men to invest $500 in the move. We have found four of them. Will you not be one of the additional sixteen? Our cat says cowardice loses in the battle because it compromises before the battle. Our cat says do not be persuaded that you have no time to plant the garden because the season is late. Take time. # Our cat says an orderly life yields . ;, !? ......t. .,< * * Our cat says the law of compensation is always operative, even though we fail to note it.

Germany Fighting Liquor Smuggler* Hamburg, April 5.?Germany, like America, is engaged in a war with liquor smugglers. High customs and a dearth of 'hard liquor" instead of prohibition, is the incentive to smuggling here and the rum-runners are able to sell their illicit goods at big profits. Captains and crews of fishing boats are doing a thriving smuggling business in all ports on the Germar coast, say customs and marine oflv rials. Arrests of numerous skippers hav< not greatly interfered with the trade Members of an organization knowi to have smuggled thousands of quart of whiskey and gin into the country have been apprehended and punishe< but the manner in which they car ried on this enterprise, believed t< have been over a secret waterway was not learned. The offenders emphatically de dined to give the authorities any in fortnatidh, some of them admitting they expected to continue operations as soon as they were released fron jail. The band was discovered when th< skipper of one of its bouts put int< a small place on the Elbe and sob his cargo of whiskey. For two 01 three days there was an epidemic o drunkenness in the community whicl caused authorities to investigate am resulted in the sailor's arrest. Fishing boats engaged in liquo I smuggling meet other ships by agree ment at sea and take on their illici cargoes. Owing to the high customs ant the dearth of "hard liquor" in Ger many the smugglers are able to dis pose of their wares at good profits. Junior Red Cross Gives To Children of France Paris. April f>.?American childrei have brought happiness and laughte into the lives of their little brother and sisters in France. The pennie and dimes which they might hav spent for candy and sweetmeat have enabled the Junior Red Cros to give to the children of France, ii their name, 2.r> playgrounds and in numerable games. All the games and recreation which form so much a part of th lives of their little kinsfolk in Am erica are taught the French hoys ant girls. As proof of their appreciation o the generosity of America's help, th< French themselves have now raise* a fund almost equal to that contribut ed by the children of the Unitet States and are planning to estahlisl a playground of the American typi in every important district of France a., ..I 1- ?4i mvvviui ui tuc ?vuuus t'auiu lished by the Americans are in Pari and are directed by recreation ex perts from the United States. Th< average French child, especially th< abnormal child born during or im mediately after the war, is not in clined to play with that robust en ergy and that spirit of team worl necessary to its mental, physical an* moral development. Moreover, game: like baseball and basketball are no common in France as in America They must be taught. One of the principal tasks of th* American instructors is to teach th* French child a spirit of fair plaj and unselfishness. The French child is an individual ist, playing alone and guarding jeal ously his own toy. He does not frat ernize or make friends among th* children of the neighborhood. As s result he becomes selfish and one sided. The Americans are trying t< show the French children the happi ness that comes from community plaj * 1.

Henderson, an American writer and trav, e!er, has returned here after spending four months in visiting many places in India to study the political conditions. This is his third visit to the Orient. Summing up his impressons of the Indian situaton he said to a representative of The Associated Press: 1 "The traveler must feel in his first hour ashore that the air is fairly crackling with a new element. In the J towns and cities the white man is no ' longer a 'tin god* and even in the re1 mote villages his divinity is fast slip"* ing from him. ' "I was in Calcutta a week befor? ' the Prince of Wale was due to land. At that time our taxi was caught in a 1 traffic jam on one of the main thor* oughfares and held for 15 minutes while the packed stream of carts, bul* lock drawn, horse drawn, bulfalo * drawn or man drawn, strained ' through the crowded street. 5 "When the Prince landed at Cal1 cutta, the streets were as deserted as those of a New England town on an * old Puritan Sabbath. Calcutta shops > <1 id no business. Mahatma Gandhi ' had so commanded. f "A few days later in Assam we f were in Gauhati, the capital of the i province. Government officials had 1 . , , .. jusv raiueu rne nome 01 a wealthy and influential citizen, found incrim>' 'Mating literature and made an arrest. - There were rumors of a proposed as sault upon the court where the case was being tried, but a company of i British soldiers was marked into town - to guard it. "We were talking with two students in Cotton College, the government college at Gauhati. The conversation was naturally upon the subject now 5 uppermost in the minds of all Indians, n the political situation and Gandhi. r Non-co-operation they evidently aps proved. Gandhi they frankly admired s ?revered almost. Why? Because, L, they said, of his love for India, and s his life of sternest asceticism and s self-sacrifice. ? "We traveled south toward Mad. ras. Everywhere we saw the uniform of the Gandhi 'volunteer,' the white s cap and the coat of coarse homespun. L, Some time ago these 'volunteer' bands were declared unlawful by the governj ment. "An Indian member of the municif pal government of Delhi told us of the L> curious reaction to this order in a I large town where his brother was a civil judge. The day following the j edict a procession of men in Gandhi uniform marched to the courthouse p and demanded that, in accord with the law, they be arrested. "The judge knowing that there was no provision for such a multitude of prisoners, was at his wit's, end .to know what to do. The volunteers p clamored for arrest. The judge declared that the uniforms constituted no offence to law, and ordered the police to confiscate the white caps and coats. This done, the procession withdrew to take counsel. "The next day they returned with ^ -l.iL 1 1 1 * iiuin DMiiftt's arouna ineir arms, tiet laring themselves 'volunteers' in offence of law, and demanding arrest. The judge confiscated the cloth badges. They returned on the morrow with * paper badges. These were stripped ' off and the farce petered out. Such wholesale defiance of law recalls Burke's words, 'You cannot indict a whole nation.' "The Gandhi uniform is now little - more than a fashion.

"In a village near Madras one evening a group of villagers went past the bungalow singing. Our host translated for us the words o fa strange, quavering song that came out of the darkness. It was a regular hymn of hate against the detested white men and had been taught the villagers, our host explained, by Gandhi proselytes. In a small town in the same province two cr three small boys spat at us from a discreet distance as we walked through the bazaar. "In these homes of superstition there is a widespread btlief in Gandhi. With simple trust the villagers will tell you that Gandhi is not a man; he is a god. He has four arms, four legs, two heads. The government tried to kill him. They put him through a meat chopper, but he came out sound and well. It is no wonder that they shout 'Victory to Mahatma Gandhi' and look forward to blissful times." Transportation of Tomato Plants Clemson College, April 8.?As the .-eason is at hand for the shipment of tomato plants, attention is called .tgain to the fact that tomato plants to be transported ino or wihin South Carolina must bear permit tags of the South Carolina State Crop Pest Commission showing that the plants and the premises where grown are free from dangerous diseases and insects, ? says Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomologist for the Commission. Regulations Governing Movement of (). Tomato Plants. "The transportation into and within the state of South Carolina of tomato ^ Si plants for planting purposes is prohibited unless such shipments are accompanied by a permit of the South is Carolina State Crop Pest Commission. ?! "These permits are issued after sat- _ isfactory evidence has been obtained cither through acceptable affidavit or a certificate issued by a competent ~ inspector, stating that these plants c and the premises upon which they were grown were inspected by a com- 1\ petent inspector and found to be apparently free from wilt and other dangerous diseases and insects." - ' C "American Day" in All The Schools of Poland A Wai-saw, April 5.?April 21) will be "American Day" in all the schools of Poland, according to an announce- ment made by Prime Minister Pon- ^ ikowski, who is also Minister of Education.
