Cprings formerly of Georgetown and well known in this county but now a citizen of Greenville, is being strongly urged to become a candidate in the gubernatorial race next year. Doubtless Col., Springs would receive a large vote in this section of the state. There are a number of possibilities being mentioned in the state press for this high honor but so far only Cole L. Blease has made a definite announcement as to his candidancy: The nomination of any candidate for state officer should depend upon his attitude toward a thorough reform in the present tax s> stem of Scuth Carolina, and the governor cannot accomplish much along the line unless we ? elect the right kind of men to the senate and house of representatives. Don't you feel that your friend or business associate has well invested a penny when you receive a letter from him whereon he has placed a Christmas Seal7 If so. perhaps he feels the same way aocut a letter from you when he notices one on it. Will you place a Christmas Seal or. every letter and package you send from now until Christinas day? Every seal you u^e helps fight tuberculosis. These seals are now on sale in Kingstree. Capt. F. W.

Thou shalt not wait for something to turn up, but thou shalt pull off thy coat and go to work that thou mayest prosper in thy affairs and make the word "failure" spell success." 2.

Thou shalt not wait to be told what thou shalt do, nor in what manner thou shalt do it, for thus may thy days be long in the job which fortune hath given thee. 5. Thou shalt not fail to maintain thine own integrity, nor shalt thou be guilty of anything that will lessen tby good respect for thyself. 6. Thou shalt not covet the other fellow's job, nor his salary, nor the position that he haih gained by his own hard labor. 7. Thou shalt not fail to live within thy income, nor shalt thou contract any debts when thou canst not see thy way clear to pay them. 8. Thou shalt not be afraid to blow thine own horn, for he who failest to blow his own horn at the proper occasion findeth nobody standing ready to blow it for him. 9. Thou shalt not hesitate to say "no" when thou meaneth "no" nor Salt thou fail to remember that there e times when it is unsafe to bind thyself by a hasty judgment. 10. Thou shalt give every man a square deal. This is the last ana great commandment, and there in no other like unto it.

The plai s i now under construcion and will t ready for operation uefor^Christma It will be known as the Coloni; Creamery Company, whose intentic it is to manufacture butter from sej arated cream shipped in by the farn ers and also for the purpose of buyinj milk-feeding and dressing poultry ar the handling of eggs, all to be pu: chased from the same source. May I take this opportunity of e: pressing m\ appreciation of this fa^ crable recognition? It is gratifyir to know that we nave publicatlor that gives recognition to all classes < industries that premise relief to 01 Southern fanners who now find it ne occarv tn fr?p thpmsplves from tl one crop idea. For years I was located in tl Southwest engaged in the same lii of business and after reeturning 1 civil life at the close of the recei war availed myself of the opportunil of becoming associated with the larj est produce house in the state of Ii diana. This connection was made t account of the fact that I desired 1 get more general experience ar some of the northern ideas of conve sion and conversation before I en barked in business for myself in tl <;ear old Seuthland. In looking for a location I spei several months touring the countr through Kentucky/ Tennessee ar North and South Carolina. In ir travels I found many possibilities th: held out hopes of quicker re.qrns tha did Florence. This feature howeve did not appeal to me for the reasc that I considered it more or less supe ficial. Rather instead I chose th point on account of the fact that offered the greatest possible futui development and expansion on a count of its utter lack of productit due largely to 'ack of education, i I favorable climatic conditions, so ! needy and responsive to animal fe tjiizer combined with adequate rai road facilities covering the enti: * n x ^ VT < /iuanuc V/oast iruin Florida. It seemed to me that i other point offered such possibility for developing a large and useful ii dustry as did the Pee Dee section < South Carolina. Since having decided definitely locate here I have familiarized m; self more thoroughly with other par of the South and find many points o fering just as good an opportunit While I shall endeavor, by the 201 of December, to afford every crea producer, within the radius of thn hundred miles of Florence, a reac cash market for his cream, providir the product is properly cared for ar shipped at regular intervals, the ma ter of encouraging other plan should be fostered. I would really and truly like to s< every publication in the South vigo ously get in behind this matter ( produce development which include, first, cream production; second, pro] e? development of young dairy stocl third, poultry and eggs; fourth, hog Another product which must n< be overlooked is the manure product from the above mentioned, includin the cow herself. In the course of few years, if this manure is proper! conserved and economically dictril uted, it will materially reduce 01 commercial fertilizer bills, and mai it possible for us to produce, on fewt acres, more feed stuffs with less e: pense and labor. There should be no question in tl minds of any of us relative to tt matter of our comparative cost < produce as against its cost in tt Northern states. The man that a< vances an argument against the pr< duce possibilities of the South on a< count of his idea that it will cost tc much to produce it, is to be pitie more than censured. His want c lack of knowledge in this respect i largely attributable to his greed fc knowledge of cotton production. Sine the boll weevil has become the grea' est "field agent" of the creamery an produce business, nur one time cotto farmer is now confronted with the at solute necessity of fortifying himsel against the loss, in the eyes of th world, of his social and economic p< sition. On account of this fact, he i now, without exception, a seeker c knowledge in order to successful! combat the boll weevil and maintai his social and economic standing wit the result that he has turned to cor centrated diversified farming. Beyon question, the eceonomic solution c the "concentrated diversification" i the high quality dairy cow, " th Mother of Prosperity." From he has sprung higher education, highe standard of living, better homes an improvements, mors economic hom life, increased value of farm land and various and sundry other ac vantages too numerous to mention. Try, if you will, in comparison wit other sections of the country tha have done concentrated farm dairyin for a period of more than ten year ' and see if you can prove these state ; ments untrue. J do not believe tha i ; ...-iTVi.:'... {you wil be abllt contradict them and 1 the one thing that has made this con- ! tradiction impossible is the fact that' e these people who have followed dairyr" ing were enthusiastically energetic, y and were not calamity howlers. They y accepted the advice and coancil of the United States Agricultural Depart,e ment, their State Agricultural and s*! Animal Husbandry Institution; the " ! sound judgment and advice of their respective extension sendees, combin5~ ed with the knowledge and advice of 1_ those competent, conscientious men engaged in the matter of converting l(* their raw products into a finished r" table Commodity, properly marketed. Our Southland offers its people this c" same advantage and no one, no matter r" how much of a pessimist, can convince me that our people are not going to 1S fall in line. This will be more readily accomir plished if those of us who are inc" ti'rested in the conversion and marketie ing of these products, comoined with all other forces, including the press, ie refrain from selfish motives. The ie produce men operating in .1 scientific to way drawing their raw materials from ^ over a laijge area, operating on a :y basis of small profits from large volZ" 11mA rather than in a small haphazard n~ way on a basis of small volume and >n large profits, will net the farmer high^ est returns through daily cash markets 1(* acorded for their shipments of cream, r" poultry and eggs. a" My attitude is that the matter of ie small profits on a large volume is economically sound, and I|~would be " glad to see other creamery and produce men come into this ^ountry on such basis with plants (distributed W throughout the entire South. When such a condition prevails y$u will see in rapid progress being made, by all of r our farmers to the end that they will m eventually be free from indebtedness f" which makes for a better mode of ^ living. It must not be forgotten that cur farmers are the very backbone of re our national structure, and that the c" welffare of all others-will be reflected )n in accordance with the prosperity of ts the farmer. The high standard of intelligence portrayed in our Southern r" people will sooner or later assert itself to such an extent that we will re arise again just as we did after the civil war and in my honest opinion 10 there not a single rung in the lad5S der, while on our upward climb, that n" will bear its load with less strain than that runfc emblematic of the dairy cow and her by-products. to Again thanking you for your interY~ est and sincerely hoping that you will t3 continue to manifest this same interest to the end that within a peeriod of y* five years we can all look back with ^ much pride upon the upward trend m that the dairy cow, "the Mother of ^ Prosperity," has made possible. *y Yours very truly, ' M.
