. SWEET POTATO ? GETS ATTENTION Coming Money Crop of Horry County, Committee Makes Report Following is a full report of tho findings of tho committee appointed by the Conway Chamber on the sweet potato industry. Your committee appointed at a former meeting to look into the sweet) potato proposition as a marketable crop for this section, begs to submit the following report: First: THE POTATO AS A MONEY CROP. We have made some inquires as to what is being done in the curing, storing and marketing of this crop and find that results reported are so satisfactory that we unhesitatingly recommend that this body lend its influence towards the development of the industry. We presume that many of you have seen the newspaper accounts of carload shipments made by the South Carolina Sweet Potato Association. The prices obtained we understand have been satisfactory, ranging from $1.20 to $1.80 per crate. In reply to a letter from your com-* mittee to the Newberry Sweet Potato Association, we quote, "we shipped four hundred and twenty crates a few days ago for $1.1)0 per crate delivered Washington, I). C.. which netted us about $1.50. Beats cotton." From these facts which ue believe are reliable, your committee thinks it is practical to m/iko sweet potato culture a new mopey-crop for the farmers of Horry County. Second: STORAGE WAREHOUSE. Your committee has gather some information as to the matter of seed, t _i_ t-.-i .1 a. ii curing, eve., nut no not cuiisiuur uivhu matters of particular importance at (his time. The first step in the process of developing the potato business is to provide :i warehouse for curing and storage. We believe this building will have to be erected by the business men of Conway. After a warehouse is assured we then suggest that your body make every effort to encourage the farmers to plant and grow the crop. Your committee has some ideas to call to your attention along this line when we approach that stage of the work. We of course believe it would be better to have a warehouse loc/ited on the railroad and as near the business section as possible, but the available lots of this kind we believe are too ^ valuable for this purpose. We see no f reason why a warehouse could not be located off of the railroad, as the item of drayage to tho depot should not bo heavy .now that motor trucks are in use. Other places we underi stand use locations of this kind. Conclusion: The Southern Sweet potato is practically a new food product beyond tho borders of the South, and a campaign for educating the pooplo of other sections to its food value, must he systematically engaged in to creato a sufficient market to absorb our crop. To put the potato before tho public, we believe it. would'be well for the Southern Sweet potato Association 1o start a series of adverti onirics in tho maua'/.inos similar to tlv?? of the California raisin growers. This report is respectfully submitted. TT. I,.' H1TK'. Chairman TX A. SPTVEY, M. R.

CALOMEL SALIVATES EVEN WHEN CAREFUL Treacherous Drug Cannot Be Trusted aiul Next DoSe May Start Trouble Calomel is dai^ei'ous. It may sAliv'ate you and nVnlce you suffer fearfully from ttore^pss of uiims, tenderness foil jaws and teeth, swollen tongue, and excessive saliva dribbling from the mouth. Don't trust calomel. It is mehcury; quicksilver. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out. just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you ill wake up feeling great. No salts necessary. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and cannot salivate.?Adv. o Colds Cuunc Cirip miiu nuiiueozft LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablet? remove tht cause.

Magrath and M. G. Anderson. The plan suggested by Miss Gray is that the committee or. education shall select suitable persons throughout the county to visit each of the schools on the night and pre.eir the matter to the public in these different communities. A meeting of those selected for this work will be held on Friday, February IT, at II ^o'clock, at which time they will lie ^vivcn the information which they will be asked to present at the various school meetings. A meeting of ti.ei teachers and trustees of the county will be held on Saturday, February IK, at which time the plans of ?ho committee and Miss Gray will be fully explained.

On the evenings of February 27 and 28 and March 1 (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) at the various school houses the instructions will be Riven to every man and woman in the county who presents himself or herself to be taught. It is hoped that as a result of this three nights' intensive training and as a result of the work of the night schools now being conducted, no voter of the county will make his mark in the elections of this summer and fall. No finer piece of advertising could be done for Horry county than to have the information go forth that every voter within its borders can sign his or her own name. o ffro Quinine That Does Not Artec*. the Iter* Beccuse of it9 tonic and laxative effect, LAXA TI''K BKOMO QUININE js j)r^er ttinti c-iliuarv 'ju'n.ac and docs not cause nervousness no' ruitfMiK in head.
