Checks or money orders should be made payable ic Senator R. M. Cooper, Jr., secretary and treasurer, who is in active charge of the campaign in Carolina. All donations forwarded to him at the Columbia headquarters, where a detailed rec ord of subscribers and the amount given will be kept. All state and national Demo cratic leaders are enthusiastically behind the Victory Campaign. Nev er before, they declare, have pros pects of electing a president and controlling the national congress been brighter. “While Democrats are assured of victory in South Carolina,” Gov. South will ce Ibra C. Blackwood said, “this does not relieve members of the party in this state of their duty of con tributing their share of the fund needed for national success and the consequent benefits to the people of this state. Some of these states i will have to be won over to the i Democratic banner this fall if the party is to be successful national- ; ly. And, it will take organization to bring this about and organiza tion requires funds. While dis tressing economic conditions pre vent many from giving, others can and will donate their full share.” John W. Davis, Democratic presi dential nominee in 1924, is nation al chairman of the campaign. Democratic leaders in every state are contributing their efforts tow ard its success.

Sweet Potato Outlook Is Not Discouraging While Card Of Thanks Through The Messenger we wish to express our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to our friends and neighbors and loved ones for their many acts of kindness shown us during our trouble with the mad dog bite, and the illness of my wife. I feel assured that a star has been added to each one’s crown. May God bless each one of you. Mr. and Mrs. Reid Brock, and Family. CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 7.— the price of sweet potatoes is low as compared with the aver age price for the last 10 years, it is j relatively high as compared with the pre-war price of this crop says O. M. Clark, extension econ omist, discussing the present out look for sweet potatoes. The aver age price to South Carolina pro ducers on April 15 was 73 cents a bushel, which though only about 60 per cent of the average price foi the previous 10 years is about tin same as the pre war price, Mr Clark explains. Growers of sweet potatoes report ed intention to plant an acreage about 15 per cent great :r than cha of last year. Allowing for the us ual inability to carry out intentions, the average probably will be about six or seven per cent greater than that har fasted in 1931. The acre age will likely be about the same or somewhat less than the average for the last five years. The increase, Mr. Clark thinks, will be largely in plantings for home use as the acreage in the commercial sweet potato area of the South Atlantic states will prob ably be reduced. The acreage of Irish potatoes in the surplus late Irish potato states, the crop with which our commercial sweet pota toes compete, is expected to be ap- j proximately the same as that of last year. j A very interesting meeting of the Meriwether-CIarks Hili H. D. Club was held Friday, May 13th, in the school building, seven members and two visitors being present. Since Mrs. Stallworth could not attend, it would have been ‘ Hamlet With out Hamlet,” had not Miss Frances Rush, a visitor, proven to be a splendid understudy. Mrs. Cobb presided, reading an. inspirational scripture and offering a heartfelt prayer. Mrs. J. M. Rich read the min utes, and roll cal) was responded to by observations relative to kitch en efficiency and comfort. After much'' discussion pro and con,' it'^was decided to hold the flower show, an annual spring all- the-clubs-participating affair at Mrs. L. H. Bunch’s on June 10th, so aR’ clubs please take note, and urge the flowers to bloom, that it muy be a worthy show, and then come. A warm welcome awaits all. Details were worked out for participation in the meeting to be held in McCormick June 26th. The n«me of this day eludes us, but it has a long, big high sounding name, and promises some grand entertainment with unique features worthy of that name. Our fea ture will be “revelations.” Bet ter come! Several amusing brain-teasing games were enjoyed, after which delightful refreshments were serv ed by Mesdames W. E. Keller and R. A. Cobb.
