There's something Wrong. ‘.irV T Last week at the State Fair In Co lumbia the writer had the pleasure and privilege of inspecting the various products of field, garden and orchard on display. Although a native South Carolinian and immeasuraSlirproud of the fact, we were astonished at the high quality of the mhibits. We have known all along that, with the excep tion of tropical fruits, almost any crop can be grown within the holders of Uus State, hut we must confess ^ha* "V? wer* not aware of the perfection attained. ^ For '"\tanre, we saw a display of apples from Oconee County that were as fine as any that have ever l>een shipped into South Carolina from the apple-growing sections of other States. We saw splendid specimens of oats, of rye, of corn and of oth* r field crop*, to say nothing of the ap petizing display of garden products. With all of this before us, we lemark- ed to a friend that it is hard to realize that our farming daases snould almost a lways be on the verge of bankruptcy, with 85 per cent, of the farms under mortgage, or, as he phraser! it, "about one jump ah<«d of the sheriff.” There's something wrong some where. What is it, without having toiled or spun, simply by holding on, now has 374 shares, at'present prices worth $5,267, not a bad return on an investment of $20. Make up your mind what is good buy what "you rart.'hoW'ft. Some see these things in advance. During the war when the Stock Exchange was closed, Otto H. Kahn said to a news paper man: “Buy yourself a couple of thousand shares of General Motors (it was selling then at $50 a share), keep it and you will have all the money you will ever need.” The profit on that transaction, which required no great investment, would have been a little more than ten million dollars. Poor Widows and Daughters. <o get money to buy tombstones for her mother and sister. That th$ young woman should steal to buy tombstones is a reflection on her common sense. The Angel Gabriel is amazingly ac curate, in memory and memoranda There is ro possibility of his forget ting or mistaking anyone, even thougn buried in the sea. Besides, science proves that the earth and men on it will last at least one hundred million years. No tombstone could outlive that period. Thousands of poor widows and daughters, by the way, rob and im- v poverish themsedves to provide tomb stones a nd elaborate funerals for hus bands and fathers that never did much for them. The poorer families suffer most in this way. Opportunity. and fortune tellers. Don’t miss this carnival in the Tobin building.

Write this on your tablets and never rub it out: “Buy something sound in the United States, take care of it for better, for worse, and it will take care of you.” Before the big J war/General Motors stock sold at $20 a share. There were 400,000 shares outstand ing. In 1916 the stock sold at $850 a share. The company gave five shares for one, the new.stock sold at $410. Later each shareholder got ten shares for one and had fifty shares. His original one share that had cost him $20 was worth $2,100. There was a slump. Pierre' Hu Pont of the Du Pont Company became chairman of the board, Mr. Sloan president of the company. Common stock a« reduced from 20 million Bamberg Will Have Tobacco Warehouse Bamberg, Oct. 22.—A call has been issued by the Bamberg chamber of commerce to the farmers of Bamberg and surrounding counties asking for an acreage of at least 1,000 in tobacco m*xt season. This action was taken by the chamber of commerce following a conference between the directors of the tradti body and the directors of the Farmers’ Tobacco Warehouse Co., which is owmd exclusively by local capital. The warehouse officials have Ixwn assured of a competent and re liable lessee for the warehouse provid- ed 1,000 anres of tobacco is guaran teed. The campaign to s<rure not onlyAhis acreage, but probably double js now being waged. No trouble is (he rriiutred acieage can be signed up forthwith Ffhmberg’s tobacco market flou^ish- ed for several yiwrs, and then, when the price of cotton and cotton produc 1 tion went up, while tobacco prices went down, the market lagged and finally eimsed to exist. For some years no tobacco was planted, , but this year there was quite an acreage in this community; every planter without exception made splendid pro fits, averaging from $150 to $200 per acre gross, which, planters say, is for better than cotton ever did in a good cotton year. Bamberg had two warehouses here formerly but one of them burned some years ago. The present struc ture is one of the largest in this sec tion of the State. It was built at a cost of about $25,000. R<i?ently ex tensive repaiis have been made by the owners, getting it in readiness for its use next season. Most of the local tobacco this, sea son was sold in Mullins and Timmons- ville, but the inconvenience and ex pense of transportation prevented many from growing tobacco. On these markets the Bamberg tobacco in many instances sold for highor prices than the weed produced in those local ities. The land here is said by ex perienced tobacco men to be especial ly adapted for a fine quality of bright tobacco. . .
