THE LIVE-AT-HOME MOVEMENT

Columbia, May A gigantic "Live
at Home" and "Feed Yourself" move
ment those behind it claim will revo-
lutionize the farming industry in the
South, is being launched among the
farmers of the cotton belt. The South
Carolina Cotton Association is plan
ming the movement in this State.
From the headquarters in this city
the first gun in the big drive was fired
when a letter went to the county
chairman of each county cotton asso-
citation asking if he would take the
initave in the campaign in his county.
There is cotton association in every
county in The State.
The plan of the movement is said
to be to get every farmer in the State
to sign a pledge solemnly bringing
himself to discontinue sending orders
to the West for grain, hay and food
stutfs after this season. Each citi-
zen who signs the pledge also pledges
himself to use every effort to get all
other farmers to sign it.
Regarding the movement state
ment given out by j. Skottowe Wan
amaker chairman of the central COM
mittee of the South Carolina Asso-
citation says;
'ln the various sections of TIE cotton
belt, farmers are signing pledges SOL
emnly binding themselves to discon-
tlnue sending orders to the West for
grain hay and foodstuffs after this
season, to use every effort to discon-
tinue this practice and urging all far
mers to enlist in the movement. We
have asked the chairman of the va
rious county cotton associations in
this State if they will have such pied
gcs circulated among the farmers of
their respective counties.
eve believe that this movement
will revolutionize the farming indus
try in the South and will mean more
for the South than any movement
that has been launched in this section
in decade. There is no reason why
he South should plant all of it's land
in cotton, sell same at small profit,
ifS indeed it is sold at profit, and
then turn around and send all of it's
money out West for foodstuffs. He
will have to curtail his cotton acreage
This means very high price for cot
ton. The high price will mean that
he will get as much for his short crop
as he would have gotten for the large
crop and in addition he will have fed
himself. The money he gets from
his cotton then will be clear. He
will not have to send it out West for
food.
"The experience the cotton farmer
has undergone during the past six
months ought to make him a ready
signor to these pledges. He has been
forced to pay the West for food
stuffs he could have raised himself
and instead Of there being a big sur
plus of cotton on hand there would
have been much higher prices for cot
ton and the farmer would have made
a profit on ~ last year instead

ANOTHER BURGLARY
From The Pageland Journal:

From The Pageland Journal:
Sometime between closing time Mon
day night and day light Tuesday the
stores of Clark & Smith, the Pageland
Hardware Co., and G. R. Knight we're
entered. The robbers entered the
the front door by removing the mould
ing holding the large glass, and then
care fully taking the glass out with
out damaging it in the least. After
rifling the cash and desk drawers in
search of money and taking a few
articles the thieves went through the
furniture store and out the back door.
Then apparently they cut the wire at
the back window in Clark &Smith's s
and raised the sash and proceeded to
help themselves. They entered CIR.
Knights store by breaking the glass
in the window at the back of the
store and going through the broken
place. Pistols, rifle, some knives
some cash, etc. was taken-just how
much is not known.
Dewitt Allen, a young white boy
living on the outskirts of Pageland
has been arrested and carried to Ches
terfield and lodged in Jail.
The officers were on his track yes
terday and he came up last night ant
surrendered and made confession
to having broken in the stores and do
ing the robbery but denied having
made the attempt to fire the build
ings-
A trunk was found in the hardware
hore containg rubbish which had beer
fired and the top closed. This is nc
doubt, what prevented big fire.

UNITD STATS TIRE NEWS

Few articles of commerce offer so
many opportunities for covering up
poor quality and faulty construction
as do automobile tires. A good-look-
ing outside covering may be only a
shell within which are hidden shoddy
materials and bungling workmanship.
The United States Tire Company
cites this fact as reason why motorist
who want good service from their
tiresare buying in eormously icreas-
ing quantitie the "good ties" made by
the company whose steady devotion
to quality has made it the largest rub
Der company in the world.
United States tires are made from
the best materials and by the best tire
makers. Such a combination ought
to produce tires Of the finest quality,
and most manufacturers would be
content to go further. But in this
company's factories every step in the
process Of manufacture is watched by
trained inypectors whose duty it is to
find flaws, I'd whose pay increases
as the numbe Of flaws discovered
increases.
One out Of every twelve employees
is an inspector, and on the more i'm
portant operations, one out of each
eight employees spends all his time
looking for imperfections.
The company believes that it owes
this carefullness az a duty to the
great army of motorists who have
placed their faith In United States
ftrns
