During 1921.

Charleston.-Those South Carolina
,weet potatoes sent to England on the
steamship Wekika, 1000 sample car
tons of them, for the purpose OF In
PRODUCING this delectable product to
English palates, have evidently made
a favorable impression, as a cable
gram was received by the Carolina
company from their agent at Liver
pool asking for quantity quotations on
this vegetable, said to be virtually 'un-
known among the Britishers. The
sending Of the sample for judicious
distribution was the idea Of the South
Carolina Sweet Potato association,
the Carolina company cooperating, as
also did the Southern railway, which
furnished booklet Of recipes for each
box. 1t is believed that a profitable
market for the sugary spuds Of this
state will be developed through this
enterprising plan.
AS a result the establishing Of the
Clyde.Southern fast freight service,
which has been in operation since
January Is, 1921, the increase in this
particular class of freight during the
calendar year 1921 amounted to
more than 300 per cent in excess OF
the movement through Charleston by
Clyde Line-Southern railway in 1920.
Last year 7,161 cars were moved as
against 1,735 cars the year before,
an increase of 5,426. The spread OF
the plans popularity has made nec-
essary to include several points OF

BIG CAMPAIGN IN C0LLETON
Hold Meeting to Organize Farmers OF
the County Into Cooperative
Association.

Walterboro.-The concluding meet.
ing of the campaign to organize the
farmers of the county into a coopera-
tive marketing association was held
at Walterboro. There was also the
committees appointed from every Sec
tion of the county for the purpose OF
adopting a contract and launching a
membership signing drive. The com.
mittee met following public meeting
and spent several hours in discussing
the money phases of the organization,
finally deciding upon form Of con.
tract used in the tobacco growers
campaign. This contract includes all
the products of the farm, except cot
ton, and will endeavor to find ready
and profitable market for everything
the farmer has to sell.
The campaign for securing members
will begin and will cover the county
1t is hoped that several hundred farm
ers at least will be secured, although
the committee decided upon organic

farmers. Much enthusiasm is shown
over the plan, which is heralded by
the people of the county as a means to
their financial salvation. They feel
that unitedly they can cope with the
present situation and that through 1t
conditions will be vastly improved.
One Of the features following the
campaign is the organization Of com.
munity clubs to handle the problems
affecting the different sections Of the
county. At Smoaks a meeting was
held and club organized with large
membership. At once plans were set
on foot to plant certain crops, among
these being potatoes and beans on
commercial scale. F. ]. Berry was
chosen president Of this club and D. E.
Sauls, secretary and treasurer.
But for the valuable assistance rem
dered by w. w. Long, state agent;
L. R. Lewis, s. D. Sims, S. E. Evans
and County Agent Kinsey, it would
have been hard to have aroused the
interest which has been shown. They
have attended the meetings over the
county, preaching diversifcation and
organization. The county is aroused
as never before as to the necessity OF
achieving results along these lines.

DEEP MINES SHAFT

The publicity campaign that has
been launched by the Goldheld Deep
Mines company is said to be meeting
with much success, and as a result
thereof the sales of stock in that
corporation will unQuestionably elm
mate any further assessments being
levied by the company.
The Goldfeld Deep Mines company
is contemplating the expenditure Of
about $4,000 in an effort o bring
the gold camp back into prominence,
and coupled with the fact that the
shaft now has a depth of 1135 feet
and that it is to be lowered to 2400
feet before any exploratory work is
carried forward in the line of drift
ing or Crosscutting, gives color to
the situation. In the event the ore
veins are found to be persistent at

little question regarding the noise
that will be heard surrounding the
