Lie leading spirits in the industrial de-
reldpment Of the Srartanburg section,

county's mills, and plants elsewhere in
the South, said Tuesday that the signs
and impressions Of this trip were very
gratifying. FTe is especially pleased
with spartanburg, ai.1 thinks the city
has q great future. Mr.. Mi...tken, IN
speaking of the Pat5let mills, ata.ea

An effort is being made to organize
State Truck Growers Association in
South Carolina. A meeting was called
for Wednesday of fair week in Colum-
hia, but on account Of the short notice
hut few attended the meeting, although
there were a large number in the city.
]. was decided to call off the meeting
temporarily and arrange for another
cate. It is likely that the meeting Will
lie held at the same time as the sprins
meeting OF the State Fair Society and
as this will give those interested plenty
of time to issue call and arrange to
come, large attendance is expected.
The formal call will be issued in the
next few weeks.
