THURSDAY. MAY SOTH, 1929. VO" v n NUMBER 99. PULLMAN HEAD The so-called “iodine" label of the South Carolina natural resources commiissk>n, for use upon,South Caro- lin fruits and vegetables 7 as a label, has been made up in la^ge quantities and the labels are now being sent out by the commission upon orders from producers and shippers of the State. It is hoped that this label will be instrumental in increasing largely the demand for foods grown in South Carolina arid that this increased de mand will bring prosperity tp hun dreds of farmers in. the State. At ^the office of the commission in the State House it was pointed out yesterday that this label should not be confused with the label on sta tionery, which is now being used gen erally over the State. For use of the label on stationery there is no charge by the State; on the other hand, such use is urged an oo-opermtive adver tising by merchants, bankers, cotton nulls, newspapers and business and professaoral citizens generally of the natural resources of the State. Label on Vegetable*. For the label upon fruits, vegeta bles and South Carolina products there is a small charge for the labels, which can be secured only through the com- mia-rion, or upon its order, and which is protected not only by copyright. Myrtle Beach—“A Little Bit o’ Heaven” ooto cup jumper “A little bit of heaven fell from without the eky one day,” aang the I poet who had for irspiration Erin’s *! {Emerald Isle • and after a trip to (Myrtle Beach one wishes that some Muse would express in song and music the glories of Carolina’s golden strand where man is astedsting nature in bringing to full perfection God’s gift to a tired, prosaic world. Lacking the poetic expression necessary to such a task, we shall endeavor in our humble way to tell our readers of our visit to Myrtle Beach last week as the guest of the Myrtle Beach Invest ment Company, which i s backed by men who have the reputation of finishing anything that they start. Leaving Barnwell at an. early hour Friday morning, thi« scribe, in com pany with his wife and young son, Billie, set out on the motor trip to the rt. ^ „ Beach. Our route led us through Col- Davld A. Crawford, who was elected i »* • j president of the Pullman company J" mb,a ’ S T ; Florer ^ e ' ” anon and succeed the late Edward F. Carry. Mr. Uonway the famous Pee Dee section Crawford was previously the executive vice president of the company. Local High School of South Carolina. .Along the way we saw promising fields of young com, lakes, which are stocked with game fish, and looked across an in-tervenirg sand dune at the mighty Atlantic and heard the roar of its surf breaking upon the beach. This chain* of lakes is a physical peculiarity of which few in our party were acquainted. Saturday evening the visitors were guests of Mr. Woodside and other company officials at the magnificent Ocean-Forest Country Club, which was opened last year. The building isf modeled along the lines of Washing ton’s Mount Vemom home and has a classic colonial beauty that is at once restful and inspiring. The magnifi cent furnishings are beyond the de- ccriptive powers of this writer but some idea of their lavishness may be gathered from the fact that in buying the equipment, Mrt Woodside purchas ed $120 worth of silver tableware to every room in the building. However, we managed to get through the dinner of several courses without leaving any of our knives and forks and spoons unused! Between courses, the guests crops for which that part of the State jis famed.

Young Halford managed to regain the high way, where he was picked up by a passing motorist and carried back to Williston. A friend brought him to his home here.
