To Have Association.

Columbia, Special. - Commissioner
WATSON will call a meeting OF the rep.
presentatives Of the various commercial
organizations Of the State for some
time in July. The meeting will be
quite an important one and every town
and city in the State will have repre-

One of the most interested in the
meeting is Mr.. John Wood, secretary
OF the Rock Hill Commercial Club. 1t
Is proposed that the various towns and
cities throughout the State assist the
Office so far as the commercial end is
concerned.
At present when there is an enter
prise Of importance to some other par
ticular section Of the State Mr.. Wat
son finds it necessary to drop his other
work and assist in locating the busi-
ness, although he Is usually aided In
this by various towns. II the plan
works there will be no further trouble
along this line and State organiza'
ton of the commercial bodies can as
sist in the development Of the State
in many other ways.
With a very small sum handbook
can be gotten out, bearing the oficial
stamp of the Office and vet represent
ing the entire State In a way that
should be. At present the cost is TOO
great and the postage bills too heavy
to hermit of any along this line on a
large scale, although there have been
a very large number Of small and val
liable handbooks gotten out by the
Office.
The call for the meeting will be is
sued some time this month and a very
large attendance Is expected.

His cries reached his father, who

to notice a barbed wire fence, ran
into it, breaking it down. cutting a

and running a % pair of pants. The
