CAMPAIGN OPENS FOR
DEVELOPMENT BOARD
Executive Committee Formed and
Plans Started to Secure Members.

Executive Committee Formed and
Plans Started to Secure Members.
Speakers sent to Laurens by the
district chairman Of the South Caro-
lima Development board addressed a
meeting Of citizens in the court house
Saturday morning at o'clock after
which an executive committee Of eight
was appointed to organize the county
LOT the membership campaign set for
this week The meeting was presided
over by A. c. Todd, acting chairman.
and he appointed the following for
executive committee: Sen. n. b. Dial,
w. d. Byrd, n. c. Hughes, NJ. l.. Smith,
j. d. w. Watts, NJ d. Moore J. II.
Power and ]. McC. Barksdale. This
committee met iii the otice OF Sen
Dial Monday afternoon and organized
with j. Nice. Barksdale as chairman
and NJ. ID. Moore as secretary. w. c..
Lancaster was named treasurer. A
plan of organization was left with the
officers.
The meeting in the court house was
addressed by Dr.. McGlothlin, presi-
dent Of Furman University, j. Hertz
Brown, Of the Spartanburg bar. C. O.
Hcaron, editor of the SpartanlYurg
Herald who is district organizer for
Spartanburg, Union, Cherokee and
Laurcns counties, and 'Dr. II. B.
Haskell, secretary for the district.
Sen. ~ b. Dial also made short ad-
dress in which he endorsed the objects
which the board had in view.
DR.. McGlothlin went into an explain
alton Of the objects Of the develop
ment board, which he described as
three-fold: to study the resources of
the state, to develop these resources
and then to make them known to the
world at large. This lie expected the
board to accomplish through the CO.
operation of fOrward-looking men who
had vision of the wonderful natural
resources Of the state. AS an example
OF the resources going to waste, he
said there are eleven million acres Of
land lying idle in the state which
could be brought up to high state
of cultivation. Development of the
state, he said, should go forward with
out SO much dependence on govern
ment aid but through the energy and
self-reliance Of the citizens them
selves. Citizens of South Carolina
should learn to think and work for
their state rather than for their home
cities. for nothing is so effectual as
concerted effort. Going into the de-
tails Of the organization, he said that
it was the desire Of the central organ
ization in Columbia to secure not less
to pay $40 per year for three years,
providing a fund Of around 100000
for research work, advertising Of the
state and the various activities which
the board will engage in. Eighteen
commissions are provided for which
will direct their activities toward the
eighteen most vital problems OF the
state. such as marketing, drainage,
taxation, roads, ehalth, education, etc.
The most vital problem, he said, was
that Of education and the development
board hoped to be instrumental in
taking South Carolina from the bot
tom Of the list Of states in literacy.
Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Hearon and DR..
Haskell spoke briefly on details of
the boards plans and were given close
attention by the assembled citizens.

DEALERS SWAMPED
WITH AUTO SALES
'Buy- "a Motorcar Week..
! Results in Many Orders
T to Local Agencies.

With two days more to exhibit
their products. it was freely predicted
by many local automobile dealers last
night that the present Buy a motor
car week will surpass anything Of
the kind ever attempted in Washing
ton before.
Partly due to the exceptional wealth
er with which washington has been
favored and partly to the shortage
of-cars cry that has oeen. spread
broadcast, thousands of prospective
purchasers of motor vehicles have
taken advantage of the display to in
epect the latest models being shown
on the floors of the different sales
rooms of the city.
Orders Booked Everywhere.
Every motor car and truck. repre-
sentative in the city has booked or
ders beyond what vas expected. and.
as one proprietor said yesterday. all
I'll have to do for the next three
months is to take care OF those Gus
toners who ordered this week. MY
establishment has been Very fortu-
nate in booking orders, but 1t is not
the only one. made the rounds yes
ferday and at every turn + heard the
same thing. Orders, orders. orders
and then more orders. Judging by
the rate the people of Washington are
ordering cars. the time won't he long
when the capital of the nation will
lead in cars per capita all other cities
in the country
That this means of individual deal
ers decorating their own establish
ments is gaining in favor over the
old stereotyped style OF holdlng
show under one roof was also attest
ed TO by many automobile men last
might.
Better Plan Decided.
'Tt is by far the better of the two
plans" said one dealer. ''It not only
gives the prospective purchaser an
opportunity of receiving undivided at
tention from the firm with which he
is DEALING but allows the car repre-
sentatives to point out many little
details that is impossible in a big
show as there the customers atten-
ton is frequently directed to other
attractions in the hall. Yes, heartily.
favor the plan and will in the future
hold out for this style of exhibition.
BY unanimous vote the local dealers
decided to keep their establishments
open until midnight tonight and to-
morrow.

Y. ". c. A. PLEDGES
ARE BEHIND SCHEDULE

Contributions reported yesterday in
the drive for $35,0o0 to complete the
years budget of the local Young
Women's Christian Association
amounted to S2.21576, making the to-
tai so far received s12,6S6. This means
that the campaign is running behind
schedule. By yesterday evening.
fourth day of the drive. only a little
over one-third of the necessary
amount was in hand or pledged.
This handicap should be more than
offset. however, by the fact that the
campaign has been extended until
next Wednesday night to include a
governmental payday. This was de-
cided on at the request of the busi
ness women,s teams because the
workers found progress difficult in the
face of the usual end-of-the-month
financial stringency in the depart
ments. Uncle Sans clerks. they have
found out, know how much the w.
helps them and are anxious to do their
part. but cannot until the first of the
month.
At the daily conference held yes
which was accompanied by an ex-
tremely generous check was read
from Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
Further encouragement was added
through announcement by Mrs Let's,
finBnce chairman of the association,
pI ID SllI VI S1VV uuhlOWu
frRnd. particularly gratifying as
peet of the campaign is the fact that
a number of local business firms have
sent in their contributed sums before
any team worker had a chance to
present an appeal. This is taken as
an evidence that large employers OF
fen1ininity are fully .cosnizant Of the
valuable work the "Y" does for girls
am women.
One member of team. who became
enthusiastic over the ~ following
a stay as a guest at Silver Spring
House, the suburban retreat main
tanned during the war by the war
work council; and who is employed
insa department. has so inbued the
red-headed messenger attached to her
Office that he is campaigning on his
own hook and has brought in FIVE
new members from his large, depart
mental acquaintance. A team cap
tam calling at a 9Th street coffee
stare found a wounded ex-Yank In
charge. In response to her appeal
hascame across with a personal gift

nature STUDY CLASS
LARGELY ATTENDED

Inquiries directed to many
adult persons who have lived here
for years. relative to the nature,
habits, and even the names of
some of the beautiful birds to be
seen about the city, is resultant in
either an evasive answer. or one
denoting but little knowledge OF
the feathered tribe. One man,
who admitted to fifty years Of life
much of which was spent here
and in the country, admitted that
his ten year old son could tell"
about the birds, but personally,
he admitted he had never had the
opportunities time-to give the
important matter more than a
passing thought.
All of which brings about the
fact that there are many students,
members of the nature study
class at Eastern Normal, who are
up at 4 o'clock once a week, and
Jul vi lilC NdlllI'uo NIlSi I lllSy diI
receiving some interesting infor-
nation regarding the common
birds that are seen in and about
their homes daily. This is one OF
the most interesting phases Of the
class, and is attended by more
than 100 students regularly. Prof
G. D. Smith, at the head Of this
line of study, reported today that
there was an increasing attend
ance. The class, comprising b.
girls and boys, is preparing to
hike to Boonesboro. The trip,
which was postponed last week
owing to the inclemency of the
weather, will be made next Mon

be taken in a body, and the small

The list of special features for

r. w. Colycr, while not a noted
fancier, in his own estimation, is
making a record with a few hens
in lot on Water street that is
attracting attention, while he is
not catering to notoriety, admits
having just sent a number of
+chickens to Mississippi, as well as
a number of western and north
ern states. while he is shipping
eggs in almost every direction.
He boasts of two hens that have
been laying faithfully for 2 years
without any disposition to ''set
for awhile" and the number of
eggs produced by sixteen hens is
close to record breaker.
Mr. Colyer is Of the belief that
more chickens raisers should pay
special attention to a better breed
|of fowls, stating they are both
more profitable and easily hand
lied, than a miscellaneous flock.
He has a great demand for eggs,
he states, and would be able to
dispose of thrice the number
could he procure them. !

highly pleased with the work of

He is so well pleased with the
showing made by Mr.. Williams
and his ten raiders that he will
not increase the force in Eastern
Kentucky. he stated. Since the
18th amendment went into effect
approximately 200 moonshine
distilleries in Eastern Kentucky
have been destroyed.
There is more moonshining in
Mr.. Brame's district than in all
the other forty-three states by
far" Mr.. Williams said today. 'In
Eastern Kentucky there is more
making of whisky now thon at
any time in history for two rea-
sons.
First said Mr.. Williams,
within the last three years the
price of whisky at the still has in
creased from So to $40 a-gallon,
and second, the general exhaus-
ton of red liquor has made the
moonshine product more in de
.mand. Most of the Bookkeeping
lis done in the mining regions. &C

sections the population is largely
made up of foreigners and the in
sufficient number of enforcement

southeastern parts Of the state is

chief prohibition officer said. In
some places the selling of moon
