THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1922

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

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.

for the office of Magistrate at
T - _
uanea.

for several terms.
To Hold Mass Meeting.
Thirty-eight mass meetings of tobacco
growers in the South Carolina

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.
