To Advertise This Section There is $con to be put on an adver tising campaign by the Carolinas Inc., with the purpose of attracting tourists and capital to this secion. This or^ ganization is directed by leading men in the two Carolinas, who gve their services entirely free of charge. It is their earnest plea that the citizens of Barnwell County will support the movement in order that substantial and practical results may be had this summer. The plan is probably the most novel and unique ev^- to be used. A representative yrill be in Barn well County at an early date to cir culate historic and scenic stamps de picting natural scenes, sports life, in dustries, etc.; these to be used on letters by persons who use the mails extensively. In counties already cov ered wide, interest has been created, and the plan is recognized as very im pressive. L The Carolinas, Inc., with headquar ters at Charlotte, is making daily con tacts with Northern interests, and has thus far achieved good results in en deavoring to interest capital in this section of Jhe Southland. At this time, especially, the activity of the citizens of this section can win very beneficial results. Constitutional Change Rests With Public, Byrnes Reports Washington, June 15.—Senator Jas. F. Byrnes, Democrat, South Carolina, said' tonight he continued to support his statement made at the June 7th commencement of the University of South Carolina that the decision on changing the federal Constitution re mains with the people. * “Substantially I stated,” said Sena tor Byrnes in reference to public and newspaper reception of his speech, “that if the d cision of the qourt in the NR A case was followed in other decisions, it would be for the people to determine whether or not they would favor amending the constitu tion.” His complete statement follows: was feared by many, and the agricul- tural adjustment act and other law’s enacted by the Democratic congress were declared unconstitutional ’ and there was a return, to the conditions existing prior to the inauguration of President Roosevelt and the enactment of. rebovery legislation, it would be for the people to determine whether or not they would favor amending the constitution.
