Prevost, extension bee specialist of Clemson College, states that a large number of Pal metto state beekeepers will attend the Columbia meeting. “We hope to put on a very creditable exhibit at the fair,” Mr. Prevost said, “because we . feel that our own South Carolina people should be acquainted with the excellent quality of honey produced in this state. “The Federation meeting to be held in Charleston will be attend ed by some of the most important figures in the bee industry of the United States.

XXI Would Take Chinese Mill Worker 20 Years To Purchase Auto mobile If He Saved All His Earnings Clinton, Aug. 19.—It would take a South Carolina textile worker only eight months, if he saved all he earned, to buy a small auto mobile, but it would take a Chinese cotton mill worker more than 20 years to make a similar purchase. A preview of figures from the 1938 “Yearbook of labor Statis tics”, soon to be published by the International Labor Office at Geneva, Switzerland, makes this and other interesting comparisons possible in its section on wages throughout the world. In December, 1937, South Caro lina cotton textile workers earned 42.1c an hour, according to the Southern States Industrial Coun cil, yet figures of the International Labor Office show that Chinese workers earn approximately 1.4c an hour, while Japanese workers, with 3c an hour, are not much better off. Working 40 hours a week, the earnings of the South Carolina mill employee would pay for a light coupe after slightly more than eight months of work. After a like period the Japanese worker would barely be able to purchase two first grade tires with tubes, and the Chinese worker would have to content himself with three or four pairs of high quality American shoes. If the German textile worker worked 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, It would take him one year and five months to pay for an automobile, and it would take the French worker one year and 11 months. The Yugoslavian textile worker would require two years and seven months of labor, and before the Italian worker could take Mrs. Tony for a Sunday afternoon drive he would have to labor for three and a half years. In Bombay, India, nearly eight years of work would be necessary before the young man, who would then be a middle-aged man, could take his Burma sweetheart in his new flivver to see the flying fishes play. Before the Japanese textile worker could scrape together enough to purchase a car in which he might ride out to see the snows of Fujiyama he would have to work for nearly ten years—a decade—and save every- yen he / made. And to all of the foreign figures must be added additional months and years to pay for shipping charges and import duties on a U. S. car. Perhaps the fact that the South Carolina textile worker’s earnings would purchase an automobile after slightly more than eight months is one reason why the United States has more automo biles than any other country on earth, enough to take every man, woman and child in the nation for a ride at one time. x Achieve Renown To the Editor: Near Lynchburg, Sumter Coun ty, S. C., dwelt a local Methodist minister, the Reverend William H. Smith and his devoted consort, to whom were bom three sons and two daughters, each of whom re ceived a college education. The eldest son, the Reverend Doctor A. Coke Smith, became a bishop for the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The second son. Ellison D. Smith, became United States Senator, where for thirty years he has rendered distinguish ed service and now worthily seeks re-election. The third son, the Reverend Charles B. Smith, has been a prominent minister of the Methodist Conference of South Carolina for more than half a century. The eldest daughter, Fannie, became the wife of the Reverend James W. Koger, who for a number of years served suc cessfully as a Methodist mission ary in Brazil. The other daughter, Anna, was married to the Rev erend Doctor John A. Rice, who was for some years president of Columbia (S. C.) Female College. In the spring of the good year 1881 your correspondent filled the unexpired term of the Reverend Mr. Koger on Clarendon Circuit with headquarters at Shiloh in Sumter County. During March and April of that year the writer was an honored guest in the hospitable Smith home two days and nights each week. Ellison and Charles ^ere then their father’s efficient plough boys. Father Smith was gifted with uncommon conversational powers and was a humorist of the clean est type. It was no wonder that the chil dren of this pious home should achieve renown. Sincerely yours, W. A. Betts. Bamberg. S. C. VOTE FOB Candidate for Re-elect.ion LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR i He Stands on His Record. i J. L.
