lice court to illustrate a traffic acci-

The miniature vehicles were put into

SOUTH CAROLINA
DEVELOPMENT BOARD

Columbia, Feb. 15.-That it might
4 more fully explain the idea for which
it was organized and is functioning,
the board OF control of the South
Carolina landowners Association
has changed the name of the organiza-
tion to the "South Carolina Develop
ment Board" and the attorney of the
board, Charles H. Barron. of Column
bia, will apply to Secretary Of State
William Banks Dove in the next few
days for an amendment to the char
ter of the association carrying out the
purposes Of the resolution.
The board of control has added
three new names to it's membership;
Charles H. Barron, an attorney Of
Columbia; Courtney Campbell, of For
eston, general manager Of the Caro-
lima Stock Farms; II. F. Barkerding,
Chairman Of the Committee on mar
keting of the Charleston city council,
and J. G. Padgett, of Walterboro,
State Senator from COLLECTION County.
There were three purposes for the
changing of the name of the organi-
zation:
1. 1t was in response to requests
from governmental agencie sand civic
commercial and trades organizations,
who desire to clear general develop
mental purposes through the medium
of the association.
2. That the name might give a clear
er idea of the purposes for which the
organization and is functioning.
8. To clear away q misconccption in
certain quarters that the organization
was for the purpose of promoting real
estate propositions and disposing of
"cut over" lands.
The board of directors Of the Colum-
bia Chamber of Commerce, in resolu-
tions passed by the body, has given
endorsement to the South Carolina
Development Board and it's activities.
These resolutions read:

The ingenious explanation that they

stamps the native Maoris as a race

not surprising, therefore, that, as a

Fifty thousand pure-bred Maoris still
remain, half of whom are practically

LARGE APPLE CROP
AND HIGHER PRICES
Castleton orchardst Expects to Sell
His Fancy Fruit at From
$40 to $14

Rutland, Sept. 4.-There seems to-
be little fear, according to local APP
plegrowers that Vermont will have to
revert to an apple pie week or apple
selling slogans as is being done in
New York to market an abundant
harvest Of apples. Reports coming
from the apple belt Of that state say
that buyers are offering only $3.50
barrel for the fruit which does not
cover the cost of picking. The crop
is excessive in New York this fall.
In this section of Vermont there
will be a good crop of apples this fall
but not so over bountiful as is the
crop sometimes in apple year Few
apple growers have yet contracted
for the sale of their fruit, but the
signs are that they will get tiptop
prices for it, when the time comes for
marketing. Buyers are just begin
ming to go through the state making
contracts but few as yet have been
secured
Accord ng to R. r. McRae OF Castle
ton, who raises nothing but first class
fruit in his orchard of $4,000 trees,
the men who are being offered only
$3.50 barrel for their apples are men
whose orchards are not kept in such
a condition that their fruit might be
called fancy fruit" Recent buyers
from Boston are offering in Vermont
orchards where fancy fruit is grown
1915 to SO a bushel for Alexander
apples, SO TO 1925 a bushel for Weak
thy apples and 1925 to $3.50 bushel
for Mcintosh Red apples. The New
York market according to Mr.. McRae
usually offers between 81 and So
more than the Boston market.
Mr.. McRae, who will harvest about
2000 barrels this fall expects to sell
them all at prices ranging from SIC
to S14 barrel and says that any
grower who has fancy fruit can dc
the same. New York buyers are seek
ing fruit of such variety to be ship
ped to England where it is scld at SIC
a barrel. 1t is little early yet to tel
at just what price fruit will go, bud
the local growers are assured thai
their fruit will go at prices as higi
as, if not higher than those of last
year, despite the fact that this yeal
the fruit is more plentiful

1t is purely matter for Congress TO

Of the PROPOSED notifications Would
neYitahlly result in reopening the
breweries which have been closed,
and in reestablishing the saloons
which formerly existed, thus creating
conditions not contem plated when

"The senator interprets the 18th
