It appears from thnt article that the retail stores in the city of Washington have ordered seven carloads ??f this product from Florence county warehouses. The article fr-ays that two of the carloads are on the move now. The same thing* that has heen started in Florence should he started her? at once. Get. on the move toward providing the. necessary curing and storage houses. (Jet this in go<?d time to give the farmers of Horry county a chance to plant this crop as n money crop in 1922. Horry County ran beat Florence in the rnittitijg of sweet potatoes. This 5 - county can hold her own \vilh any county in the State of South Carolina in raising potatoes or any other crop. The field for the sale of the product is broad. The lands we have hciv are suited to sweet potatoes. Thcae facts point the way to greater prosperity for every farmer in Horry County.

HOME MERCHANTS BEGIN MOVEMENT All Classes of the People Would Willingly Help In This Matter. We want the merchants oi Horry County, which of course include.-. Conway, to combine on one thing*. It is the purchase of home grown grain and other things to sell at their retail stores, and <juit buying western products only where they have to do this in order to get the goods. Wo go into almost any grocery or uppl> ftore 4no\v and as apt as not wo will find sacks or barrels of western com for the retail trade. There I are other articles to found there purchased from a great distance, while : the farmers of Horry County have n plenty of these same things that they want to sell; and which they need to sell, if they can, in order to pay their dehts. The old rule of living at home and hoarding at the same place is a good rule in this as in other matters. If the home farmers can raise enough of such things to supply the homo demand for them, we wish to see th^ home farmers get the business in overv case. This is the reason why *.\o have opener! this rrt.icle with the expressions we have used T,et it tr i t with the merchants, if it will, for there in where the movement should begin. Let the merchants get together and make some plan to let the home growers know that they pre ready to handle his produce, n' the same priee. of course thai they have to nav the commission houses. In fact, the retail merchants can afford to nay as much as it costs them to get the other articles here. There is always the item of freight that the merchant has to figure on alonp; with other elements of cost in finding his cost prices. We are willing to aid in such a movement so far as*this paper i^ able to do. It will throw open its columns to either the retail merchants or the farmers in an effort to get the two parties together. goodhopeWas sent donation Economy Home for Motherless Children Making Campaign for Funds Columbia, S.

"There are numbers of little children anxiously awaiting the result of this campaign for funds," said Rev. J. II. Spaulding, superintendent of the home yesterday "b.cause on the result of it depends whether they shall have a home another year. These little children cannot and must not he thrown out on the world.

Benton Young, president of the South Carolina Sweet l'olato Association, is pleased greatly with the way the ,-South Carolina cure 1 sweet potatoes are taking; in the capitol. M. W. Cartwrlght, of tho Colonial Creamery company, booked these orders for the association. The present movement of sweet potatoes in this state emphasizes the value of curing and standardizing a product which is guaranteed by a recognized association. Mr. Young states. Large quantities of sweei potatoes are being offered in nearly every local market now at 00 cent ; ; cr hr'hel. Thcv an* neither cured nor standard. Compared with the cured stock, they are moving very slowly, because the local market is unable to absorb them a;id onl side markets will not take 'them. Standard cured South Carolina wo potatoes are moving readily on an advancing market at prices which are nettinu1 the planters a dolla> ai d a quarter ner bushel. Mr. Y oung expects the associatio? will handle 200 carloads of cured stock this year, the ociniva'ept of 10 000 bushels. It handled 40 carload*-; Inst season. The volume is growimnow because of recent applications from potato bouses for admission t< the association. All the stock shipped to date ha. been from member houses of a-: sociation, throughout the stats. Tbov j were not all sent from one single house.
