ONE OF THE STATES Sue
CESSFUL NEW INDUSTRIES

Nothing has proved more conclu-
sivelv the resourcefulness of the Wo-
men of South Carolina than their un-
nrecedented initiative in the business
world during the strenuous years OF
1921 and 1922. They have not only
pursued the various old lines OF work
with energy and determination, but
are constantly developing successful
" new fields of endeavor. They are
il the promotion of the flower INDUS
try of the state. appealing to the
aesthetic side of our nature while 60
ing about the prosaic business OIL
helping to make living.
The ladies of Pauline Home Dem
onstration club call themselves "The
Dahlia club" During the past year
this club sold approximately s53o
worth of flowers. Most of these
were sold through the home demon
stration club market in Spartanburg'
This market is known as the square
Deal market" This total sum IN
cluded the money from the sales OF
not only the blossoms, but cuts, roots
etc. Quoting from a recent letter
from Mrs. Ada Lancaster, one OF the
eight women who compose this cluo'
she saws, "Dahlias were the most
popular flower, then the chrysansne-
mum, followed by the daffodll this
eprirg. We would never have SOLD
this amount without our club market
You see it has amounted to nice
little sum for each of US, the largest
sale being s14O and the smallest
So"
Mrs. J. P. Harris of Lancaster
county is known as the "fower lady,
which attractive title has been ac-
ouired through her Identification with
the various flowers with which she IS
always surrounded. In a recent let
ter to the state marketing agent, she
describes in an enthusiastic manner,
her method of cultivation of sweet
meas. AS she cleared $500 on seven
rows, fifty feet long, am inclined
to believe that her method of cult
vation is the proper one. Her total
receipts for flowers during 1921
amounted to $3.50. Mrs. Harris has
the hearty cooperation of her nus
band in this enterprise. She writes
that he wants to experiment with
sweet peas planted in the cotton
fields. He proposes to let them climb
the stalks and then have them turaee
under as a legune. .aa. IS
Mrs. Lila Moore Stanton of McCoA
has gone into the florist business OF
rather large scale and is making
good" in the expressive slang OF the
day. She conducts this business
without hep a& skiileds gardeners
only neighbrohood ladies Nth an oc5
cas;oral man helper. During the
wear 1921 she took in something over
$1,000. All expenses including inter;
estS.on the original investment q
100000 are to be deducted. She Is
very ambitious for our state to haFs
a Horticultural society in order thai
there may be more interest in flowers
asa cultivated study. She has OF;
ganized five clubs, four of which are
in Marlboro county aid one in DB:
lon. The last named club is working
on, the Identification of the Dillon
cemetery.
I These are merely some specie ex'
amples Of what has oeen accomplish
ed. They dimly forecast the ever
widening influence Of home demon
stration work in the years to come.

6titS -
THE
Highway From
Pierre To Gam Valley

Pierre, June GA preliminary
survey of a proposed generally dia-
gonal highway from Pierre to Gam
Valley was stared on Monday by Chief
Engineer Hudgins, of the state high
way department, the proposed road to
make a shortcut between here and
Mitchell and making Pierre more &C.
cessible to the southeastern part OF
the state.
After the preliminary survey is
made a more detailed one will be
made and the merit step will be the
securing OF a right-of-way between
DeGrey and Gam Valley.
. At the present time there Is a fair
ly good road from Pierre to DeGrey
and 1t is expected to extend this to
meet with the Miller to Kimball state
highway just north of Gam Valley,
follow this to a short distance south
of that town and then strike east to-
ward washington Springs and follow
one of the highways already in use to
Mitchell.
Mr.. Hudgins expects to meet with
John ID. Anderson, who owns much
of the land below DeGrey, and he will
assist in making the tentative survey
and will probably furnish part OF the
right-of-way.
After the final survey is made the
people of the DeGrey and Gam Valley
section will be asked to donate to the
right-of-way and it is believed little
difficulty will be experienced In get
ting the necessary route to make this
cutoff, which will make the Big Bend
country more accessible to the bal
ance Of the state.

scored In the first inning on a double
by Clark and a single by Wade, al
though able to get men on bases in
nearly every inning and all
clogged in the eighth, the locals were
unable to hit when a hit meant runs.
Harold tied the score In the Sc
cond added four In the 4th, n in the
9Th. and while the boys we're flying
high in the Sth the Harold boys took
advantage of hits and errors and
scored six. Luck, Harold left fielder
