Address of Senator e. ID.
Smith to the People Of
South Carolina
l wish to express to the voters of my State my
heartfelt appreciation of the generous support given
me in the election last Tuesday. received than
10000 votes over my nearest opponent, and came-
within few votes of majority.
The issues before the people clear cut
Three powerful interests are endeavoring to bring
about my defeat.
FIRST: The cotton exchanges on account of the
legislation had passed fixing so that they could no
longer deal in fictitious cotton and exploit the real cot
ton of our real farmers.
SECOND: The whskey interests desire my defeat
so advertise to the world that South Carolina is
repudiating her stand on prohibition.
THIRD: The great financial institutions of Wall &
Street oppose me- The reason is that by my work in
having adopted the provso to Section 13, of the Fed
era Reserve Act the Southern farmers cotton became
a OASIS OF cr6QlC. because OF CnlS Cne money pOWeT
the manpuators the spectators, and gamblers the
New York Cotton Exchange are working for my de-
feat.
They knowing that l am the only Simon Pure farm
erin the United States Senate and that have been
working for the past twelve years to keep them from
using cotton for their selfish interests, and
knowing that by my being advanced to the head of the
Agricultural Committee of the Senate my power will
be greater than BEFORE they sparng effort
or means to defeat me.
Unlike my opponent have done and am doing ALL
can to wipe out factionalsn in South Carolina so we
all cooperate and pull together for profitable
price for main money crop-cotton and for the de-
veopment of all the industrial and other interests of
the State.
We have these selfish interests opposed to us, but
are going to win. The people of South Carolina do
not move backward, and they will not be deceived by
'camoufaged arguments and false reports. The best
years of my life have been given to iheGervce of the
people of my State and my fists not only doubled,
but going to strike every enemy of the best in
terests of South Carolina.
Thanking you again for your confidence already ex-
pressed, and with assurances for the future, am
Yours faithfully,
E. ID. SMITH.

SAVING WASTE MATERIALS
MAKES MONEY FOR GOODYEAR

Before the war Europeans regarded
Americans as a nation OF Wasters-
The United States was so busy pro-
ducing that il could not take time 20
watch the scrap pile But the war
woke up The nation and showed u
what years Of education could not
nave pictured
An instance Of what actually can
be accomplished through the hearty
cooperation Of an army OF 5000 work
men is the performance Of the Good
year factory at Los Angeles in effect
ing salvage OF materials that might
unnecessarily have been wasted al
together.
IN a general way wastes IN a great
rubber factory consist OF rubber, fab
ric. cement, metal paper and power.
There are other wastes however that
contribute TO Lhs sum total, y al
lowed 10 go unchecked
The Goodyear experience Is that It
is not difficult to secure cooperation
in waste elimination from American
workmeu. where saving is made as
easy as wasting, that it requires no
extra effort for Wcrkmen 10 throw
waste materials in a receptacle pro-
Vided for them.
In the western Goodyear plant
which started actual manufacturing
Of products June Il, a salvage Of
waste materials has been effected
during the first four months OF op-
Grafton. indicating a total saving Of
more than 100000 for the year.

f'This IS a matter not generally
