STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT SMOAK Hrt* * to Ih* CiKlfi-taken tu th«‘ Soutlirrn ( arolina AssorijUion. To the 1‘eople of Southern Carolina: As president of the Southern Car olina Association. 1 desire to speak briefly of the organization and th' work toTTr undertaken. For yeat those who have thotiKht of the pro gress of our section of the State, have lamented the fact that- there has been no^organization through which concentrated work might be l ily there will be diflerehces of opin- | ion. to say nothing of Jealousies, and there are things we must all guard against. ». •The organization exists, an execu tive secretary has been employed, and the machinery of the Association has been set in motion. Just how to use it, and where, are problems giving the officers no little concern. To be of use and effective there must be co-operation and assistance. No one man can do the work of the As sociation. The paid secretary will do much of the durdgery. but there will remain something for all others to do. For instance: What problems are confronting your section? How can the Association be of help to you? Think of these things and conf?* with the secretary or other officers. We have thought of a few things force in each county, such as out lined above, will reijuire some work before the convening of the legisla ture. ^ '• 4. More and Belter Live Stock. The bolt weevili will reach our sec tion of the State year after next, most likely, so we shall hare only one more ye«r to grow cotton. We must begin to raise better live stock and to this end the cattle tick must go. and a system of marketing be worked out. t reameries and pack ing houses will go a long way to wards solving the problem of mak ing the raising of live stork profit able. Other things needed will come to mind, but we must not get to work on too many of these, or our efforts are likely to result in little accom plished. So you see there Is much work needing to . be done. There is abundant reason to be for the Asso ciation. and it will accomplish much or little as it is supported by the people -not merelv tinanciallv, but > • a in the malter.of as •dance and co o|n ration.

The need for an organization was unite apparent, and that is the reason the Southern Carolina Asso ciation has met with so much favor at home and abroad Hut the woik of oiganizing and getting a coherent force of workers in each of the counties comprising this association is not anti has not been easy of fulfillment.

Therefore, the Association desires to see several j drainage districts started in gach of j the (OunttefC and we will render all assistance possible to that end. if: Good Roads. Our counties need to be connected by better roads and the Association would like to see the county seats, at least, linked by well built sand clay roads. Such a system may he worked out and. If necessary, legislation secured look ing to that end. 3. Education: This general term comprises so much. We hawfc de cided to reduo# our slm under this head to the following: (a i A rural school supervisor in each county. (h) A farm demonstration agent in each county. (ci A home demonstration agent in each county. (d> Teaching agriculture In the schools of the counties. Beaufort has the two latter; Col leton the two latter; Hampton the farm demonstration agent. and Jasper the two latter. So to get a Koine was not built in a day. Respectfully. \V. \Y Smoak. t President MAKES APPLICATION th* The secretary has submitted application of the* Association foi ^ membership in the Chamber of Com-* melee of the United States of. America. We hope that we will bv'j elected to this distinguished body. I feeling sure that the work that the. , are doing will benefit the country and that the information that they will fnrntoh will be of interest aaA value to the people of Southern Car- ollna. . n f The Association Is planning a campaign to induce new people to settle in Southern Carolina and the first step in this important work is for the people to list with the sec retary the lands that they have for sab. A complete file will be kept at the headquarters and will be used for the benefit of inquiring parties. The three railroads which cross Southern Carolina receive thousands of letters from persons who wish to purchase land and heretofore they ha\e had no® way in which the* loca tion of the land could be kept or an organization to work with The- Sou- • • tin in Carolina Association was or ganized for just such a purpose and we will work to bring in new sef- rti r< and to open up the* unusued lands.

Frir is fast approaching, and plans are being made for one of the largest even!*? ever staged at Walterboro for this section of the State. The organization of the Sou thern Carolina Association has di rected the, attention of all the pern- pie ti^ this section as never before. Men jrre writing, reading and think ing about Southern Carolina as they have never done before, and as they read and learn of our wonderful re- sotmi-s and the possibilities of this section they are astounded and wonder that they never knew these ! things before. One of the results ' of this agitating and spread of in formation will he to Induce men and money to come to this section and aid in the development work so badly needed. Many people* from every section will attend the Southern ' Carolina Fair. It. therefore, behooves every man. woman and child in the* four counties comprising this association to do all tbe\ c .m for making this fair a grand success. Every single item available for th** proper adver tising ot our resources and wonder ful climatic possibilities should be sent in. and displayed/. It is tlo* fair of every man. woman and child. I.t is the privilege and duty of evetv person residing; in this section to aid in every w;>v possible to maku this fair it big'''success. One of the main features of this fair will b** the* racing events, which witl he mn on the new half mile track that is now nearing^eompl*-^ tion. This track when completed will he one of the most up tn-dat» in the whole state and Is being built at a great cost to the (air associa tion. therefore* the people* of the* sec tion should enter Htelr horses and let us make this one of the most at tractive parts of the whole (air.
