The civic preparedness meeting held
at the court house last Saturday was
attended by about fifty interested and
intelligent farmers and about twenty
five ladies'. Many farmers were kept
away by the busy work season Rev
w. II. Mills Of Clemson College and ex-
Gov. Nj. +. Ansel were the speakers
and they pointed out quite convincngly
the necessity Of our farmers raising
more foodstuffs this year than ever be-
fore. They did not advise anyone not
to raise cotton, but pointed out that
even if cotton brought high price it
was quite probable that no food could
be secured from other sections Of the
country at any price. The safest way
is to raise our own food. Both speak
