Manning, S. G.
Dear Sir:
1t has recently been my pleasure tc
to note through columns favorable
mention of the establishment by tho
writer of a Creamery here in Flor
ence. The plant is now under con-
struction and will be ready for op-
GRAFTON before Christmas. 1t will pc
known as the Colonial Creamery Com
pany, whose intention it is to manu-
facture butter from separated cream
shipped in by the farmers and also
for the purpose of buying, milk-fecd-
ing and dressing poultry and the
handling of eggs, all to be purchased
from the same source.
May | take this opportunity of ex-
pressing my appreciation of this
favorable recognition? 1t is crafty
ing to know that we have publications
that gives recognition to all classes
of industries that promise relief to
our Southern farmers who now find
it necessary to free themselves from
the one crop idea.
For years | was located in the
Southwest engaged in the same line
of business and after returning to
civil life at the close of the recent
war avaied myself of the opportunity
Of becoming associated with the larg-
est produce house in the state of In
diana. This connection was made
on account of the fact that | desired
to get more general experience and
some of the Northern ideas Of convcr-
sion and conservation before | en-
barked in business for myself in the
dear old Southland.
In looking for a location I spent
several months touring the country,
through kentucky, Tennessee and
North and South Carolina. In my
travels | found many possibilities that
held out hopes Of quicker returns than
did Florence. This feature however,
did not appeal to me for the reason
that | considered it more or less
superficial Rather instead | chose
this point on account of the fact that
1T offered the greatest possible fu-
turc development and expansion on
account of its utter lack of produc-
ton due largely to lack of education,
It's favorable climatic conditions, soil,
needy and responsive to animal fer
tilizer combined with adequate rail
road facilities covering the entire
Atlantic Coast from New York to
Florida. 1t seemed to me that no
other point offered such possibilities
for developing a large and useful in
dustry as did the Pee Dee section of
South Carolina.
Since having decided definitely to
locate here | have familiarized my
self more thoroughly with other parts
of the South and find many points of
terlng just as good an opportunity.

or December, TO afford every cream
producer, within the radius of three
hundred miles of Florence, Il ready

Conditions in Germany.

Martin Vogel, former assistant treas
urer of the United States, in charge of
the sub-treasury in New York, now on a
trip through Germany, says: 81 do not
think financial conditions iniGermany are
as black as many people paint them. The
conditions here are natural aftermath
to the losers of the world war. After
examining into the situation, find that
there is a necessary differentiation be-
tween the financial condition of the gov
eminent and that of the people, For the
government to meet its huge budgets,
foreign loans and reparatlon, the Ger
mans must pay high taxes, but it's inter-
nal funded debt does not trouble the Ber-
lin government, because the interest and
principal are met with paper marks. The
eastern markets are momentarily off, but
they will convalesce soon and again buy
German goods. The deprecated mark
prevents Germans importing manufac-
tured goods, but low wages here make
possible successful German competition
against American and British wares in
South America"

thousand theatres in the United States.
Such is said to be the magnitude of the
moving picture business in this country,
and these receipts are all in cash. The
New York Herald makes some compare
son upon the basis of these statistics. If
every year the people spend 81, 400, 600, 900
to watch the movies, then the moving
picture men are doing business on scale
that compares with the finances of the
national government itself. For the total
interest bearing debt of the United States
In 1900 was S1,024, 600, 900, the ordinary
receipts of the federal government in the
fiscal year 1917 were 81, ll8, 600, 900, and
in that year the first Liberty loan brought
the a tt oD's treasury 81, 466. 000, 600.
Moreover, the federal trade commission
declares that single corporation provides
the films shown in theatres whose ticket
offices collect two thirds of that grand
total, or 1000, 600 The huge sum
cares for the rent of the houses, the pay
ment of the oTchestraS, the salaries of
manager, and, probably much the great
er share, goes to the treasury of the cor
poration itself. "Some business" as the
Herald says, and all developed within
few years. These figures become avail
able when the charge of unfair competi-
ton was brought against the Famous

Says Hustlers Live Longer.

One of Great Britain's largest manu-
facturers, Lord Lsve1humle, asserts that
more persons shorten their lives by david
ling in England than by hustling. He is
living proof that hustling promotes
hale old age. He has always led the
strenuous life and at 70 is still going strong.
He presided at the annual meeting of
the British Industrial Safety First Asso-
citation in London the other day. In his
ADDRESS he drew largely upon his Ameri-
can experiences. Steps had been taken
in America, he said, to ascertain whether
it was the hustlina, bustline business man
who was supposed to shorten his days
or the man who crawled and dawdled
through life.
He declared there are men in the United
States today of 80, 90 and between 90 and
100 years who are still In good health and

Air Requirement. Explained.

The United States today has in the
military service $500 good fiers.
This is the testimony of Maj. Gen.
Charles T. Menoher, chief Of the air
service He explained to Representa-
tive Will Il. Wood of Indiana, Rep
resentative Thomas Upton Sisson Of
Mississippi, and some other members
of Congress that for every officer who
flies n an airship there must be about
ten enlisted men on the ground to
take care OF the aircraft. For every
airplane that is flying there must be
d. replacement plane in reserve, and
an extra reserve engine. On the west
ern front during the war, he said, the
rule of the British was that 1t took
forty-Seyen men on the ground for
each plane and the French required
twenty-nine men.
Col. A. L. Fuller explained that the
life of a, young flier-that is the pc
Rod during which he will continue to
be a good fiier-is about eight years,
if he comes into the service. when
about twenty-one or twenty-five
years of age. 1t is the system to nave
a certain number OF flying cadets
whereby young men may be taken in
from the outside and given training
at pilot schools for about year and
then go into the reserve, where they
will remain effective for a certain
time, and there will be continuous
flow from the pilot schools into the
reserve. but not into the Regular
Army.
