There is a movement on foot by the citizens of the Greelyvillc community to have the State highway that crosses the Murry's Ferry bridge diverted from the Heinemann route to a route leading through the town of Greelyville. We are informed that the change in route will very probable be made, due to the strong sentiment in favor of the Greelyville route which will lengthen the distance between Kingstree and Charleston by several miles. We don't blame the people of Greelyville for making an effort to get this highway through their town, but we are somewhat amazed at the don't-care-if-you-do attitude of Kingstreeans and those who live on the more direct route between the county seat and the Santee bridge. We were under the impression that the question of a route for this very important highway was finally settled long ago. We are pieased to note that electric pumps are being installed at the town's pumping station for the purpose of pumping water electrically instead of by steam as heretofore. A small electric pump of 150 gallons per minute capacity has been tried out with >uccess. Manager Adams of the Electric Light and Ice Co., tells us that he intends to supplement this pump with another of 250 gallon capac ty. These pumps will be used for pumping a greater supply of water out of the wells into the reservoir and forcing it up into the distributing tank, and will insure ample water supply at all times. It is to be hoped that this new pumping arrangement, since it is intended to furnish a much greater water supply at no increase in cost, will soon be the means of a reduction in the enormous water rate that citizens of Kings tree are now paying. Of coarse a reduction in rates will depend largely vpon the amount consumed. There should be an increase in the number of spigots in town and no home should be without water connection, especially those that are located in close proximity to the town's water , mains. New Candidates. In this paper will be found the announcement of Mr. J. L. Thomas of Cacies, for the House of Representatives. Mr. Thomas is a well known and successful farmer and he has a host of friends and well-wishers that will support his candidacy in this contest. The Hon. Sam A. Graham is offering for the State Senate. Mr. Graham represented this county in the State Senate several years ago and was a most valuable official. We feel certain that he will make a strong candidate in the senatorial race this sun mer. Mr. Frank A. McLeod is offering for reelection to the office of Solicitor for the third judicial circuit. He has filled the office very acceptably for several years and has a host of friends in this county who will support. him in this campaign. Mr. W. J. Mixon announces his candidacy for the office of Magistrate at T - _ uanea. Judge Gamble announces himself a candidate for reappointment to the office of Magistrate at Kingstree, which office he has filled acceptably for several terms. To Hold Mass Meeting. Thirty-eight mass meetings of tobacco growers in the South Carolina belt begin next Monday and will be earned to every marketing point of the association, according to present plans of the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Association. Leaders from Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina are scheduled to join officials of the association in South Carolina next week on a speak-1 ing tour which will reach thousands of tobacco farmers in this state. Vice-presidents of the association frcm Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, officials of the Extension Division from several states, veteran leaders of the 72,000 tobacco growers will address the farmers of South Carolina whose last chance to sign-up their 1922 crop with the marketing association will soon be over. Why tobacco sold in Kentucky | through the Cooperative Association brought $29.00 per hundred while Burley tobacco on the auction floors averaged less than $21.00 will be told , by members of the Farmers' Burley Pool. Tobacco growers are coming all the | way from Kentucky to tell why 90 per cent, of the Burley farmers have signed the cooperative marketing conI tract and to explain why three thou- i sand new members rushed into their j association after the second payment on their tobacco was made last month. C. E. Marvin, famous stock raiser and tobacco grower of Lexington Kentucky who stirred thousands of farm-' ers to action in Eastern North Carolina on his recent tour, is expected to be with the South Carolina growers I next week. Mr. Marvin told the tar heel grow-1 ers why Kentucky fanners who could never get loans from their local banks before, can now raise hundreds of dollars even after receiving their first and second payments on tob~. j co, through the association. The sign-up of South Carolina grow j?-ti it. ers continues to increase ioiiowmg me meeting of warehouse managers for the association held in Florence last week. I Prominent tobacco planters from | South Carolina who have joined the association within the last few days i are George Holliday of Aynor, Horry; county; J. C. Davis of Centenary, one j of the most prominent planters of lower Marion county, and Warren; Godbold, well known farmer of lower Marion county. o HEMINGWAY NEWS.
