THE COUNTY RECORD
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1921
Colonel Holmes B. 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. Wagener, for more than
a half century prominently itentified
with the business interests of this
" ai _r*i
state ana especially uiose 01 cuancston,
his home city, died in that city
late last week.
Tax receipts of the Federal Government
during the fiscal year 1921
decreased nearly a billion dollars as
compared with the previous year,
while the cost of collection increased
32 cents for each 100, according to
the annual report of the bureau of
internal revenue made public Monday
f night by Commissioner Blair.

New Commandments, Ten; Count 'Em
' 1. 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 be content to
go about thy business looking like a
loafer, for thou shouldest know thy
* - l - A A. 1.L
personal .appearance is Deuer man a
letter of recommendations.
3. Thou shalt not try to make excuses,
nor shalf thou say to those who
chide thee, "I didn't think."
4. 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. Upon this commandment
hang all the laws and profits
of the business world.

A New Industry..
?ditor County Record,
It has recently been my pleasui
to note through your columns favoi
' able mention of the establishment b
I the writer of a creamery and poultr
j house here in Florence. 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. W. Carturight.
