THUBSDAY, AUGUST U,* MP* Editto-Savannah Section Party to Tour Three States in Plan to Have' Dairying Interests Locate in S. C. Plans for a tour through Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, which is being made this week by a group of iwpresentative citizens from the Edis- to-Savannah section of this State, wrere outlined last week to a represen- tatrve of The People-Sentinel by Eu gene Chatterton, special industrial agent of the South Carolina Power Company, which recently merged with the Edisto Public Service Company, of Denmark. The object of the inspection is to first-hand information in regard to the agricultural and industrial ad- ▼ancement made by the States to be visited. The party, headed by Mr. Chatterton and Robert A. Easterling, wrho was recently elected a vice-presi dent and director of the South Caro- 15mm. Power Company, left Denmark Sunday morning at seven o’clock and -expects to return Friday night. Although all phases of advancement and work will be studied by tho group of citizens, particular attention will be to the dairy industries and to dairy farming. In Mississippi the party ex pects to gain especially valuable* infor mation in regard to dairying, with the hope of being ablei to bring to the •Tow country” of South Carolina some of the industries that are now prosper- in other States. In an interview given to The Col- ibia Record last week, Col. Harry D. Calhoun, formerly of this city, who is n member of the party, said: “Tho Edisto-Savannah section is go ing out after these industries,” Mr. Calhoun said Wedne5^day. “Through the aid of the Edisto-Savannah Devel opment bureau we are sending a dele gation of business men, bankers, farmers, and merchants to make* a complete tour of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. The party will leave Denmark Sunday morning and when the members return they expect to have gained a wide range of first hand knowledge on the advancement of other sections. “We are especially anxious to bring to our section some of the dairying in terests that other State® now have. That part of the State in the Edisto- Savannah section is in a better condi tion and is better fitted to maintain dairying interests than other States, but the large dairying concerns have not had an opportunity to learn of this. Theiy are now awaking to the possibilities of this section and many of the large concerns, including the Borden and the Pet milk companies, have sent representatives to look over oiv country We are going to visit thr^e other States to see for our- sc * what they hive and how they get these concerns to locate there, and v'l en we return we feel that we will be better fitted to present the advan tages of our country to these dairying int* rests.” The Edisto-Savannah section is made up of that section of South Caro lina that lies between the Edisto and Savannah rivers. Several counties not exactly in this area but having the same agricultural and industrial ad vantages are also included in the area. Among the counties are Beaufort, Barnwell, Allendale, Hampton, Jasper, Colleton, Bamberg, Orangeburg, Ai ken, Dorchester and others. . . r * Ruth Elder, first girl to fly across the Atlantic, se lecting gowns for her wardrobe in her first motion picture, in wh'icii she will play opposite Richard Dix. jPHUPPI y.; • - •••»"•£;? will apply to him upon Saturday, the 8th day of September, 1928, for an Order of Discharge and Letters Dis- missory.

A little while ago, France and rep reeentatives from the nations of the vrorld gathered to unveil a monument to her greatat hero, Marshal Foch, *m! it wa 8 the joy of France, and the world, to know that the great soldier was present. It is a good thing to say nice things give expression of appreciation to one when ha ha 9 passed on but it is much better to do this while he is atill alive and can fuel that he is ap preciated. There is an old saying that one of the greatest pieces of work that a man con do is to make two blades of grass grow where only one previously grew. Carrying this idea into all walks of life, one is confronted with the fact that to develop and make* better conditions as found is a real p»e?e of work. A few years ago many s>f the towns of the Kdisto-Ssvannah Rivers territory had no lights or power; others hand only local plants, running part of the time. Robert A. Easterling started with the one blade of grass in Denmark and from this made m>t two but dozens grow until most of the towns of this section are furnished with hydro-electric power. His work attracted attention and some months ago the Southeastern system, sane of the larg-mt power companies «of the country, cast its eyes on the Ediston company and last week the Edisto Public Service Co. was for mally merged with the South Caro line Power Co., already controlled by the Southeastern. Mindful of thn good work of Mr. Easterling, he was elected a director in the new company, elected raTtive vice-president and placed in -charge of promotion. It is the hope* ■eif many friends that his enlarged -duties will not take him away from this section except for brief absences but whatever the outcome, the people of tie Edi.-: to-Savannah section, urtidTier or not they always agree wrfh “Bob” Easterhng must admit J Chnt he has been the biggest factor in bringing to the attention of the nation the agricultural and industrial pos- afbilities of this section. While with the South Carolina Press party on its recent trip to New York, ft was our pleasure to distribute the books “Opportunities in Edisto-Savan nah Territory.” This handsome book let met a splerdid response on the piart of South Carolina editors, many whom had not seen it before. Through Mr. Easterling’s foresight, this valuable publication has been placed- Into the hands of thousands throughout the United States. In ad dition to this, and many other means advertising this section, Mr. Eas terling backed the Edisto-Savannah Hirers Development Association, an organization to promote the agricul- taral and industrial development of w, fbe eight counties comprising the ^HBrto-Savanah territory, a section o become one of the parts of South Carolina and the South with her agricultural ad vantages, industrial possibilities and rich natural resources. South Carolina can boast of others who like R. A. Easterling have worked hard to place the State where she rightly belongs, but no one man has done more in so short a time to bring our section to the attention of the country.—The Williston Way, One Newspaper Has 35 Correspondents Out in Devil's Lake, N. D., a iveekly newspaper, the “World,” thirty-five correspondent* m various parts of the county. Thirty-five corres pondents! Think of it! It claims to have, the largest family of correspondents of any news paper in North Dakota. Suppose The People-Sentinel had only a fraction of that number of correspondttits send ing in the news each week from Blackville, Dunbarton, Elko, Healing Springs, Snelling, Hil da, Meyer’s Mill, Williston, Kline, Lyndhurst—to say noth ing of the various communities, such as Double Ponds, Pleasa'nt Hill, etc.—what an interesting paper this would be! And what a “boost” it would be for those* places. The puolisher would like to engage a paid correspondent in every town and community in Barnwell County, but unfortun ately this is impossible. The best he can offer is to furnish stationeiy and stamps and copy of the pa pi *r to some pub lic spirited young man or woman who wants to put his or her town “on the map” by send- J ing in rogularly the happenings in that particular community. These correspondents could also act as subscription representa tives, collecting renewals and soliciting new subscribers, for which the publisher will gladly pay liberal commissions. If them is such a young man or woman in any or all of the towns mentioned, he pr she is invited to call at this office or write to the publisher. State of South Carolina, , County of Barnwell.
