Declares for Economy In
State Administration
and Pay as You Co
for t h e Legislative
Motto-Urges State to
Grow Food Ahead of
Cotton.

Is Atlanta, June 25.-Thomas w.
Hardwicl1, of Atlanta, who today was
sinaugurated as the sixty1third gov
ernor of Georgia, took occasion in his
inaugural address to defend the name
OF the state against widespread criti-
s,cism following the publication of a
pamphlet on the Condition of the Ne
gro in Georgia." recently issued by
his predecessor, Gov. Hugh Dorsey.
Georgia has been indicted, most
unfortunately, and | think unjustly,"
Gov. Hardwick said, "in the public
forum for mistreating the negro, for
peonage and for other kindred crimes
1T is source of deep and real regret
to me that this indictment comes from
quarters that are both Responsible
and respectable and it is for that
reason alone that | feel impelled to
say few words in regard. to it, -
He asserted there has been no year
since the negro was freed that the
governors of his state have done more
for the negro than in the past year,
and declared there is no real basis
in truth and in fact upon which the
accusation can rest"
81 assert, measuring and weighing
my words" he said, that there is no
state in the union and no country in
the world, having within it's borders
anything like an even division of its
population between the white and
black races in which the relations
between the two races are more har-
monious than right here in Georgia.
There is no state in which good,
law-abiding peacable negro can live
with more security to his life, proper
ty and rights, than the state of Geor-
gia.''
The governor discussed in gen.
-eral way the financial affairs of the
state, promising in later address to
point out in detail the condition of
fiscal affairs and suggest remedies re-
quired to meet present difficulties and
necessities.
Pay as we go must be our motto
and we must live up to it, he said.
However worthy the appreciation,
it cannot and must not be made un-
less we have the money to spend"
He urged the abolition of every use
less board, unnecessary commission
and ornamental Office holder.
Gov. Hardwick urged the farmers
of the state to grow more foodstuffs." 4"
Feed yourself first before you under
take to clothe the world" he said.
Make your hog and hominy' at home
and make it first. If you do that and
when you do it you can clothe the
world on your own terms"

THURSDAY MARCH II, 1921.
A Good Time at Cedar Swamp.

II dl SSuoA ~
A community recreation meeting
is out of the ordinary happenings
and the particular one at the Cedar
Swamp Graded school building on
Friday evening was an unusual occa-
sion. For grown-up folk, young folk
and children came to mingle together
seemingly oblivious of business care
and worry of any kind and they soon
caught one idea of a Community
Recreation Meeting" that is to Pack
Up Your Trouble in Your Old Kit
Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile.
The Honeymoon Trip was one of
the games of the evening that soon
changed the smiles into hilarious
laughter as the crowd watched the
couples preparing to make the trip
in the least time. Each couple would
have their opportunity, timed by 4
watch, for the gentleman to take off
his coat, open a suit case take out a
coat "a long tail duster) and a neck
tie and hurriedly put them on and at
the same time the lady putting on a
coat, hat and gloves making quick
time-all ready-they closed the suit
case and take it with them on the
speedy trip across the room and back
to the starting point there to divest
the travelling apparel and repack the
suit case for the next couple. The
couple making the preparation and
the trip in the least time won the
prize. Of course the charming pres
ence and timely assistance Of the fair
damsel brings forth every effort of
her partner to succeed in the race.
The (soda) cracker relay race was
fine, and Supt. of Education McCol
Tough with many others can vouch
for the difficulty of whistling after
being so daintily served with the dry
delicacy.
Many other games were played and
not moment of the time spent was
dull.
This kind of meeting will have q
tenGercy to bring the community
people together, and creates spirit
of get together in community improve
ment and cooperation in the affairs
of the neighborhood.
For the entertaining feature OF the
meeting this section is indebted to
to Miss Daisy Warn, Red Cross secre-
tary who is we'll known over this
county for her active service in this
&C cd work, and to Miss Hattie McMur-
ray, demonstration agent, whose
inedfatigable efforts in her line Of
work is commendable and to Miss
Julia Hale a popular and musically
talented young lady of the Kingstree
High school
A n9mber of old time songs were
sung by those present and as the res
onant sound reverberated it signified
the closing program of the evening.

PUBLICITY Committee
EDUCATES YEAR ROUND
FOR COMMUNITY FUND

Advantages of year round publicity
are emphasized in a statement made
by the community chest fund commit
tee Saturday. The plan of conducting
one campaign for all the needs of the
community is also commended.
The statement follows:
The two chief objections to the
community chest plan that have been
offered are that the single campaign
can not have the educational value
that number of separate campaigns
will have, and second, that the organ
izations entering the chest lose their
individuality and their membership
loses interest in them.
The first Of these would be valid if
there were no publicity except for a
week or two before the single cam
paign but it is believed that a publci-
ty committee working throughout the
year can better educate the commun-
ity as to the activities and needs of
the various organizations and develop
Ia more intelligent understanding of
