We have prospects of a bumper

A carload of beef cattle was pur

for use as breeding stock in the

With the best corn crop in sev

cotton and satisfactory prices for
hogs, there is a great deal of
interest in feeding out hogs for
market.—Darlington, J. M. Napier.
As a result of our tour to the Pee

We have a large number of hogs

Homecoming Celebra
tion At The Citadel
October 16th
With a number of active com
mittees of the Citadel men making
arrangements for the Homecoming
celebration on October 16, every
step is being taken to insure the
success of the annual “old grads’ ”
day at South Carolina’s military
college.
Heading the important registra
tion committee is Lieutenant-Colo
nel C. L. Hair, of the class of 1909,
who has been continually a mem
ber of the cadet corps or faculty
of the institution for more than
thirty-two years. Associated with
him will be representatives of sev
eral widely-spread classes, to in
sure that each man who passes
the registration booth will Lind
someone who knows him.
Class reunions are being arrang
ed for by members of the twelve
classes holding special gatherings.
This group is headed by Major
Arthur P. McGee, of the class of
1908.
In charge otf preparations for
the luncheon, to which all alumni
and those accompanying them are
invited, is Colonel E. M. Tiller, of
the class of 1903. To aid him in
seeing that all are served and seat
ed will be a large group of repre
sentatives of various classes.
The banquet committee, which is
preparing for the annual banquet
of the Association of Citadel Men,
to be held at the Francis Marion
Hotel at 7:00 p. m. on October 16,
is Milton A. Pearlstine, of the class
of 1919. He wiil be assisted like
wise by a number of alumni of va
rious age groups.
Extending a welcome to all who
attend will be the reception com
mittee headed by General Charles
P. Summerall, president of the col
lege. Other members will be the
J faculty and staff, with their ladies.
In South Carolina
Columbia, Oct. 1.—Thousands of
workers in South Carolina receive
less than $15 per week, and prob
ably two-thirds of covered workers
less than $20 per week—according
to a study of weekly wages in South
Carolina made by Dr. S. M. Der
rick, Director of Research and Sta
tistics for the South Carolina Un
employment Compensation Com
mission, released by Administrator
R. B. Waters.
Data on the wages of 216,000
employees are available to the Un
employment Compensation Com
mission. A study was made of the
wages received by 8,095 employees
representing different industries
and areas in the state.
The greatest number of workers
was in the $10 to $14.99 group, rep
resenting 33.51 per cent of the total.
The next largest group was in the
$15 to $19.99 classification, embrac
ing 22.32 per cent of the total. A
little more than 42 per cent of the
workers covered make less than $15
per week, and a little over 65 per
cent make less than $20.
“A careful comparison of the
wages paid by the studied indus
tries could not be made”, says the
report. “However, a rather super-
i. jal survey of the facts indicates
;t, contrary to general opinion,
t’ e textile industry is not the lowest
\v; ge industry”, although present
j ures do not show precisely how
i! ranks.
Gome of the interesting facts
si.own by the study of sample data
h. iicate that more than 9 per cent
the workers receive less than
$'.3 per week, and that less than
i. per cent receive $35 per week, or
I'rie.
The industries selected and the
number of employees covered by
thp 3.095 cases studied were: Con
struction, 316; Manufacturing,
4882; Transportation, communi
cation and utilities. 918; Wholesale
and retail trade, 1953; Service, 26.
