the future, so it was that conditions
were ripe for launching this new de
velopment of home demonstration
work. Plans for the sales of special
lied products through an organlza-
ton to be known as the South Carroll
ma Home Producers Association were
made in April 1921.
The purpose Of this association IS
lto convert the surplus yield OF the
farm into money by placing on the
market a standard product, and by
this mean to encourage production
ard conservation. Many women be-
came interested, and as a result, the
association was launched. Interest
grew apace. A state marketing
agent was secured in August, 1921
with headquarters at Winthrop COL
lege.
Originally contracts were gotten
out for a number of products, but
owing to the difficulty of standard
izing so many different things, the
contracts were rewritten in October,
1921, and the number of products cut
down to ten. most of which are dis
tinctive of our state. They include
blackberry jam, plum jelly, artichoke
relish, fig preserves, grape juice, soup
mixture, Dixie Burgoo, brunswick
Stew, Pine Bark Fish Stew and but
ter. These products are being pre-
pared by special receipts, put in at
tractive containers which are in most
cases sealed with a mechanical seal
and sold under a label of special de-
sign, the original of which was made
by an artist in water colors. En-
phasizing the fact that these products
were made in South Carolina, a
beautiful palmetto tree is portrayed
in the fore ground.
The output of the South Carolina
Home Producers Association in 1921
was about 5000 containers. All of
these products which passed inspec
ton have been sold.
We have contracts this year for
5000 containers. Containers are
being ordered comparatively. They
are bought in the wooden reshipping
cases.
Two communitiesf Fit. Motto in

An exhibition of the market pro-
ducts which attracted wide attention
was put on in Columbia at the meet
ing of the State Federation of Wo-
mems Club on April 20 81. The
Club women became much interested
in the marketaples products which
are being put up by the fran women
of our state. The presidents of
twenty-three clubs pledged them
selves to try and secure the en-
dorsement of the clubs. Steps have
been taken by seven of these clubs,

BREAKING UP THE TIGERS

A good many years dSo LHe "lI'ei
was a young lawyer beginning the
practice in his profession of a lawyer.
There were a good many other young
LAWYERS there. Greenwood was then
a new county, and the young men
of the profession who were seeking
fertile fields to conquer had gathered
there. At n of the first terms of
court presided over by the late
Judge James Aldrich the young law
yers we're having their innings. 1t
happened that at this time a young
North Carolinian was in the county
visiting relatives. His father was a
Judge of the courts of North Caro-
lima, and the young man was stated
to be a lewyer admitted to prac-
tice in the courts of that state.
Seeing the other young men try
IN" their hands at addressing the
jury, it occurred to this young dis
ciple of the law to take a hand him.
self. His desire being communicated
to Judge Aldrich by some friend
the Judge advised that it would be
the pleasure of the court for the
would be advocate to defend some
of the prisoners accused of one or
another offense and who had no
counsel. 1t happened that n of
the cases which fell to him was that
of a negro charged with the violation
Of the Dispensary Law. The young
lawyer was greatly outraged, it ap-
peared from his speech, at the de-
mand of the solicitor for the con-
viction of his client, on what appear
ed to him as flimsy testimony.
"Why gentlemen Of the jury" he
exclaimed, eff you convict this man,
you will break up the blind-tiger
business in Greenwood County.
Judge Rice is the successor of
Judge Aldrick on the bench. He
should profit from the above story.
None of the essential industries of
the state should be crippled at this
time. But if Judge Rice persists in
sending such men as Worley, Butler
Mcbride Ed Freeman and Adam
Crawford to the chaingang
for peddilng and selling
liquor, he may cause people here
about to go entirely out of the
liquor business. If he and the other
judges apply the law the same way
over the state, the people will be
bereft of liquor. Then what will
the court house hanger on do? Where
will some of the officers of the law,
(not in Abbeville, we are thankful
to say), get their liquor? What use
will there be for the converting of
the General Assembly or the con-
tinuation of the statewide primary,
if we cannot have liquor? These
institutions cannot be run on parched
peanuts alone. How will a man be
enabled to clear up his voice to cheer
on the candidates, if Liquor is gone?
Judge Rice should look about HIM
self, and take notice of the calamity
he is about to bring on the people.
