business man of the county to see
that such marketing facilitiea are
provided. Orangeburg has provfd-
ed such a market, and now it is eaay
for a farmer to sail a load ofV corn

being added to the llat of readers
of The Press aad Standard, fcvery
day there are several new names
added. Our policy of. cutting off
subscribers when* time paid for is |

see how we can cut off any more un

not wish nor intend to do. So it
comes to the matter of cutting ofT
more names from our list, we will
have to do it by lot
