must also bring my message to a
close without further elaboration OF
the agencies needed for bringing
about the great results I nave been
advocating-frst, a Farmers Union
or other farmers organization IN eV-
cry township and woman'c club in
every township, each keeping ever
lastingly at it" for these reforms;
then a local and a county paper each
devoted to community deve,opment;
and then in every county three lead
ers of progress employed for their
whole uime and selected for their abili-
ty, enthusiasm and expert knowledge
without regard to politics. First, a
county farm demonstration agent
working all the time for better farm
ing methods-improved implements
and machinery, more horse power,
better methods of marketing, better
systems of cooperation and richer
social life. Second, county super
intendent of schools giving his whole
time to the work of bringing every
teacher and every school and every
pupil to the highest degree OF efticlen-
cy and carrying on a never-ceaslng
campaign for consolidation, local tax
alton, industrial training, school lib
raries, corn clubs, tomato clubs, etc,
etc. Third, superintendent OF
health, giving his whole time likewise
to a never-ceasirg campaign against
disease and all the conditions that
promote disease.
So runs my dream of the South
Carolina that is to be, the South Car
olina that it is our high privilege to
help develop, South Carolina pre-
dominantly white, predcGlnantly
homecoming, State of marvellous
productiveness, famous alike for
great captains of industry and for the
high efficiency Of it's average worker,
a State where science and the schools
have made labor an art rather than
drudgery, and have provided the ap-
probation. the leisure and the tnan-
cial well-being necessary for the de-
velopment of high degree of culture
and the finest Towering of native ge-
MUS. But her greatest source OF
strength I shall expect to find not IN
her crowded cities, but in her white
country districts. in beautiful homes
sirt about with fair groves and gar
dens. approached by roads equal to
any of which Rome ever boas' cd, and
set in communities possessing the
schools and churches and liDraries
and lecture halls and all the conven-
fences of modern twentieth century
life; communities where character,
industry, thrift and service TO others
are the tests of leadership. and where
no bliehted poor begging, or 5loated
rich idling. one and all enjoying a
beautiful social life as fair as the
plantation life Of ante-bellum days,
but more robust, virile and demo-
cratic: and where the spirit Of broth
erhood developed by working in CO.
operation in matters of every H2v bus
mess has produced powerful and
fraternal democracy which Will be the
best monument to all Of rs who are
working and striving 20 bring that
dav to pass This frui'ion Of all our
homes may vnt ho hut distant and dim
deserted. bnt with tho eye o. faith you
may catch vision Of its far-off beau
~ and in the truest sense IL may be
said o. each of your workers today. in
the language Of !sraal's prophet. HE
shall soc if the travail Of his "oul and
shall be satisfied
