" The City tatl ers are considering the matter of making a yearly appro jr'ition for the support of a liurary. A\ f111nd for the erection of, a library butilding can be seettred f'romi the Carnegie i ottndation onl condition that the city make anl aniuttal aplar'opri'ationt to sup'lort it. The benefits o.' a ptth iie lilrary, where every citizen, no mailt t how himble, cat have access to it, cannot he over-estimated and the cOtineilmen should be encoutraged to provide such an asset. It would re luire almost a negligible increase in the tax levy, but. as the benefits would be so far-reaching we do not believe that any considerable proportion of the people would object to it. It wettld be a good idea if those who en dorse the idea would speak to the councillmen, so that they may feel that they have the public's Support Ill tlhe matter. *** The hatesburg Herald took a fall out of Its local citizens last week for not su ppo'ting the home paper. It seems that the directors of the 'ri County Fair, which is held at Hates burg, gave the contract, for prlnt.ing a Special advertising feature edition to a printer in another town while ac cepting free space inl the shape of reading notices and the like In the home paper. The discussion over the episode has grown rather warn and It appears from late reports that sen. el the merchanlts have loycolted Ith Herald.

VAM NUTS ADVERTISING [AN STARTS BIG CAMPAIGN New Breakfast, Food Made in Green ville-Hig 'Denatd Already ('reate'd for the floods-Opens Market for Porto lHico Ynm Potatoes. 11. M.. Allen, representing the WIl Ilain Co., nanufacturers of the new breakfast food--Yam Nuts--arrived in Laurens Monday morning to begin an active advertising campaign in behalfi of the new product. Practically every grocer has placed in a stock of Yamn Nuts and during the week every per (n in the city will give a "try out" at the new food. "Ihc food htas long since passed iiw ; :dmcistt stage,' said Mr. Al len today. "Yam Nuts are an assured success and taking everywhere it has yet been introduced." In many cities reorders have been rapidly coming in, so popular has the food taken with the people. The manufacturing plant Is located l in Greenville where day and night shifts are making every effort to keep up with the demand. Mr. Allen announced today that the company would consume 250,000) bushels South Carolina grown yams annually for the manufacture of Yam Nuts. This Will be an interesting an nouncement to the farmers of the county who are planning to diversify in the face of the coming of the boll weevil. In an effort to stimulate an interest in growing yams to meet the new and increased demand the Willianms com pany will purchase and distribute to the farmers of this section 25,000,000 potato slips. These will be distribut ed with the understanding that the company is to have the privilege of purchasing the supply of potatoes pro duced from these slips. They will be of the Porto Rico variety. Also with the slips will go full instructions as to how to cutIvate this variety of potato. Information as to these will be published later. Yam Nuts is a crisp, toothsome breakfast food, prepared by a patent edl process from selected sweet pota toes. Like cereals it. Is best served With sugar and cream. "Dne fair chance at the new food and you will get. the habit," says Mr. Allen. $ SPECIAL NOTI('ES. $* $ $ $ $ $ 1ianted --''o rent live room cottage, with some cor)leniences. "it.
