In no e other lines may the State be said to be t doing what slhi' might easily do. The 8 great need of the State today along in tiustrial lines is % proper realization i and Uppreciation of the wealth of un t i developed resources which sho has c within her borders. Some of these are unknoWn- to the vast injority of the t people of the State while others, if a known, are not appreciated by her'dwn c people, and are unknown to outsiders, a and, more than this, there is at pro c sent no means by which either the I people of the State or the people of t the rest of the word may become ac- t quainted with the opportunities for in- g dustrial ,levelopment that lie idle in s tIc Statu. Theio is need of some i direct mueans of properly investilgating t these resourees and calling the atton- I tion of the public to them. An organ- o ization with this special object in view I is Ono of the greatest needs of thu 8 State to:day. Prof. Holmes of North a Carolina has very recently caillti our 1 attention n.ost forcibly to what our V sister Stato is doing to systematically develop her resources, and has also shown us how successfully this work is I being accompiliA bed. A simuilar State bureau sloi le be etablished in South I Carolina. The objects of such a survey would be quito varied, and w4outi incItiude not only a determination and i nvestiga tion of the mineral resourct.s of tie Stat-, tuch as her depo-its of iron, old and other nii.rajo, because theo are pi obably of coilm paratively small value, but wouid give its attention imiuch more largely to a number of other lines of work that would mean far more to the State thathhe devel opinut of her mineral resources alone. One of the imost prqsing question , before the peopeu of thb Stato today ib that of securing better roads. A bureau is neLI- to determine the dis tribution of road building, materials in tlhe Stato and to make tests of the dur baliity of tneso materials before the counties in a blind way ko ahead and spend probably thousands of dollar" putting the suit-ability of such ma terials forroa. building purposes to the test. G Purther, a systematic guidance will be needed ic miethodsof ioad construe Lion, and these can best be furnished Lhrough a conti al State bureau. With the d v Aopmei.t of oltAr ind'us- o tries, there is coming yearly a greate ) demaid for building btone, and quar- (1 ries ate being ueveloped that are indi- r eative of an :it-euLry tiat should soon 0 be of large proportions. In many pot - Lions of the State there are doubtlets I betis of cxce..lent building materials, s while there are doubtless also many e o ther:- of poor qj iality. A study of the c distribution uu qualities of building tones then wud come properly with-.t in the scope of eucii a sur-vey. The clays of val foul sins within a the State foirm one of hierimusjt, valuable c natural iresourece. There are laige i deposits of fuller-'s earth, some of t wieb1d may be fodntd valuab~le for In d nattrial purposes, while Iiri- clays and t k~Aolin trc known to caist, in various 'j parts of t.xr State and arc being mined, t pgday in .i few places.
