Perhaps it** is no;- generally known that these stamp:;, may be purchased the same as last year, and on the same terms. Manv of the counties In the State are re porting considerable sales already. COLLBTOVH TOBACCO CHOP *» • ■ o'. X. It now appears that there will V* a good crop of tobacco planted in Cqlleton -county this year. Cejinty Agent Rlsher has secured the prom ise of many farmers to plant a few acres each of this’crop/and is sup- yt'Vising the preparation of plant beds, securing seed, -apd fertilizer.. The farmers are doing this and will need some place where they can dis pose of th> product. ' Would it not bn *W>d Idea for some of the bust- 'ness men,of the county to interest purchasers, and to provide a to bacco Warehouse*. We note that a new tobacco ‘ warehouse Is bein; built at Timmonsville. Why not one in Walterboro? 3.

This would require at least two competent workers for the girls and women of the county, as many for the boys and a steno grapher at headquarters to keep the members of the clubs supplied with the valuable literature sent out by the government and to be there t<> see people coming, in on such bjisi- ness. V.' • . M ((. Expert cotton graders \t sev eral marketing points in the bounty so that th<> producers .of the staple could be assured that they were get ting the correct grading and prices for their cotton. 5. Some system for keeping the roads of the county In repair so th*»t vehicles might 1 ' make reasonable headway when going along the pub lic roads— perhaps a system o.f sec tional foremenliar to the pktn used by the raitro^s. t>. Increase of the salaries of the rounty officers to a living wage and then requiring a careful am! >strict compliance -with the rules govern ing their offices. It is twt reason-' able to expect a man to perform his duties as well when he rannot make “ends meet” as when the county gjves him enough to live upon. 7.
