Let our people along with htose of the other counties, fall in behind this movement for Southern Caro lina and make it an easy go from the start.'- ‘ * Ml*KT BE UNSELFISH Ritter Folks Deserve Credit The Press and Standard desires to pay a small tribute to those whole- souled and liberal citizens of ifltter for their*vhospitality to the visitors tp Colleton county Friday. The act of entertaining a hundred men at a baj-becue and furnishing besides such a splendid lesson of the possi bilities of this section df the State, is calculated to have created Impres sions which will do good for a long time to come. When the day for reckoning comes these citizens will have placed to their credit a big share for what they have done to develop Southern Carolina, and to bring back prestige to our section. It will be well for the farmers of Colleton to keep^ their eye on what these progressive farmers are doing with the lands around Hitter, and emulate them as much as possible. The newspaper editors and repre sentatives from N the various Cham bers of Commerce and Trade boards from the rnnntles of Hampton. Col leton. Beaufort. Barnwell, Dorchest er, Jasper and Bamberg will meet in Walterboro on Friday, next, for the purpose of formulating som* 1 systematized plans for improrving and advertising the lower counties of South Carolina. We have been assured that a number of delegates from Hampton county will attend, and our best information is that the other counties herein named will be equally well represented. 'Now let us all get together; forget our petty jealousies and work in harmony to one end. Much good can be accom plished if. at the outset, we enter !n to the propaganda with a deter nr ra tion to help each other and saciificc a little self-interest for the benefit of our community. Much energy and- assiduity will be require^ to ifc ure the success of this undertaking; so. let us ail enter into it with no other intention that to give to it our best efforts. The Guardian Is willing and anxious to do more than Its'share to promote the future development of oiir section, — Hampton County Guardian. The Ideal Summer dothes ® - - - \ ft - *«#T Congratulationa, Walterboro. Walterboro did herself proud in the entertainment of "the visitors who were here Friday. The gath ering at the Colonial Theatre and lator at the Hotel Albert Was n splendid body of men of Southern Carolina. That they were impress ed most favorably with Walterboro V the magnifleient treatment ac corded them was expressed by ev ery man who was the recipient of this kindness. There is no telling what will be the final, result of this reception and the value to the town from a business and 'advertising point of view. Certain it is that there are several scores of boosters turned loose with a desire to say good word for the town and the peo pie they met here. But not the least value was to the men who took part In this entertainment. 'They saw what a little co-operation would ac complish, and in. future it will he most easy to "pull off another stunt.” Walterboro Is coming into prrominence in many ways and it is well worth the while of her citizens to be alive to all these contributing Causes for growth and development.

H. Cuttino was com pletely destroyed this morning at about seven o’clock by a fire which originated in the hath room. Abso lutely nothing was saved from the flames, not even the wearing apparel of the family. The family was com. pelled to flee from the burning build ing in their night dothes. It seems that Mrs. Cuttino had just lighted the oil stove in the hath room when she was suddenly seized with a fainting spill and fell over the stove, which immediately exploded. Mr. Cuttino. who was in an adjoin ing room, heariiwt Ihe noise, rushed in just in time w save his wife from the flames. Both were painfully, but rot seriously, injured. Mr. Cutttno’s sealp was badly burnea. It was impossible to save the Jiouse.

LEVX, Manager Mi** Anita Bailey i? vieiflnc friends in Charlesufn this week **************** * * * THE COW ON THE FARM * * t************* * The only farmer in Georgia, or for that matter, in the south, who ti independent today is the farmer who has succeeded in supplying every one of his home needs and has a little something oveV and above that to sell to others. >«, The farmer who gets all the food he needs for himself and family out of the ground and all the clothing he'must have from the animals around him. ot at least through com mutation of their products, may hold his cotton as a surplus crop and count the proceeds of it as pure pro fit. If he raises cotton alone, it may ta,ke every bale of it and sometimes more to pay him out: if he raises everything he uses, he has no bills to pay and hr* cotton wtands to his cre dit in the hank. I This same old story, has been*Re peated time and again: it will hav« to he repeated many more times be fore the farmers of the south begin to learn the lesson, hut the impor tance of it is peculiarly and intvr- • estingly illustrated, ;;n article in the current Hoaid's Dairyman, by E i McNish. a well-known Georgia dairy man, who says at the outset: If each farmer had a few- dairy cows, and would produce his own feed on the farm, he would be enabled to make the cotton crop really a money crop paying practfcally all expenses of raising it with his butter, cresm and milk and the increase of his herd. By doing this he could sit back and say to the spinners of the world. "Pay me, my price for my cotton. I am In a portion to hold it until you do.” There is in the dairy herd not onl> the milk and •butter and cream which supplies food for the Ivtj* and something for sale, but for fer tilizer which enriches the soli; and as Mr. McNish points out. if the fertilizer alone were the onlv profit he dairy herd would 6e well worth* the farmer’s time and attention. This is the same attitude which « ommissioner of Agriculture J D Brice has persistently taken. It is Mr Price’s agricultural gospel that every farmer i n the state, no matter how small his' farm, should keen al east one pig and one cow- Through th «T an, . , through growth, in this di rection Mr. Pried sees the sam • agricultural independence to which Mr. McNish has pointed in his recom mendation that each farmer fn tic state should keep a few dairy cows Commissioner Price has offered his pig and cow proposition as th*- dif ference between debt and in(l''P pn ^' ence. and it is one that is capable of indisputable proof. Outside of the question of f.otnc supplies, there is always a good de mand for beef and pork. The pi* and the cow not only furnish tii-' fertilizer, but they eat up and con vert into money, stuff on the farm that would otherwise go to wa-tc , The cow- and the pig—one of < to ’’ | if that is the limit of ability, or mo^ where possible—point the way t 1 agricultural independence.
