Gov. Cooper For Good Roads
in South Carolina.

Columbia, S. c., Dec 17.-Govern-
or Cooper announced today that he
would recommend to the South Caro-
lima general assembly next month a
plan which contempletes expenditures
of $34,O0O,0Oo in highway building
in the state in the next six years.
Under this plan announced by the
governor the state would complete a
system of improved highways, hard
surfaced and sand clay, top soil and
gravel.
Briefly the new program contem-
plates six methods of getting the
s34,O00,000 as follows:
Federal aid for six years to be $6,-
100000, an increase in the automo-
bile license fees SO as to bring in ST.
100000 a year and $7,SO0,SsS in
six years; approximately $6,2OO,ooo
from the two mill property tax now
effective; Approximately S3,4Oo,OOC
from gasoline tax imposed for six
years, at one cent gallon; and q
state bond issue of s1o,ooo,ooo.

COOPERATION IN THE PRoDUc-
TIoN. STANDARDIZATION, AND
MARKETING OF FARM FSoO'
UCTS.

It is recognized that farmers aeed
and should have a larger share OF the
consumers dollar paid for farm pro-
ducts. To get this farmers need to
pay more attention to uniformity in
production. to proper standardization
of products, and to orderly distribu-
tion of products. These things can be
accomplished only by cooperation
through organization. The individual
farmer is seldom able to make satis-
factory market connection. Therefore
farmers are urged:
(a) To perfect community organiza-
tions for uniform production through
the adoption of standard varieties,
standard containers, standard grades
etc.
(b) To organize cooperative mar
keting ass ociations on the. commodity
basis Il. the proper grading, sdeGua e
warehousing. necessary financing, and
gkillfuI selling Of farm products.

Concerning Work of South
Carolina Sanatorium.

Columbia, Dec. 29.-The South
Carolina and the Palmetto sanato-
riam operated at State Park, seven
miles north of this city by the state
of South Carolina for its citizens suf-
fering from tuberculosis is "going"
concern, according to Ernest Cooper,
M. D., the superintendent.
The South Carolina Sanatorium,
aunt of FIVE buildings, for white pa
tients, since it received its first pa
tient on its opening day, May %,
1915, has treated to date 492 men
and women and the Palmetto Sana-
torium, the negro hospital, recently
received it's 55th patient since its
opening in December, 1921.
1t is ideally situated in the rolling
sand hills of Richland county and its
climate, according to authorities, can
not be surpassed for tuberculous per-
sons. 1t has a minimum of rainfall,
it's temperature is not too hot in the
summer and is delightful in the win
ter-permitting of plenty of fresh
air, one of the requisites in the treat
ment of the disease.
The average gain of the patients
during the stay in the sanatorium, II
their cases are not too far advanced,
is about twelve pounds.
Very encouraging letters daily are
received by DR.. Cooper, he says, of
the rehabilitation of patients treated
at the hospital, a large number of
whom have been able to take their
places in the commercial field and
command substantial salaries.
This South Carolina Sanatorium
was authorized in 1914 by an act of
the General Assembly.

Farming on a Cash Basis.

farming on IaSn OdSiS'
1t is gradually becoming more
apparent that farming will have to
follow the trend of the other lines
of business and go on a cash basis.
1t costs money to extend money on
farmers risk and the farmer has
to stand the cost of the transaction
in the long run. The merchant has
to add enough profit on his goods
to make up for the losses incurred
by the bad accounts on his books
and the men that are good pay must
make up for the DEFICIENCIES of those
that are poor pay. This is the general
rule with merchants and the farm
er that wishes to avoid paying the
bad debts of derelicts as well as the
man who wishes to get his supplies
at rock bottom prices will take ad-
vantage of the discounts allowed for
cash.
What the farmer needs is diver
sifed crops. Diversified crops will
yield something to sell every month
and every week in the year and this,
according To Jim Smith, the million
aire Oglethorpe County farmer, is
the real secret of success in farming.
Jim Smith had a plenty of every
thing on hand to sell and consequent
| ly he always had plenty of money
to lend. He made cotton cheaper than
Ianybody else because he made his
own corn, meat, flour and fertilizers.
He also raised his own cattle and
hogs and supplied Atlanta with his
dairy products daily.
Every farmer can not be Jim
Smith, but they can all follow Jim
Smiths example and each man ac-
cording to his own circumstances. A
farmer can start raising his own feed
and milking few COWS, increasing
little by little until his monthly cash
income will cover the running eXpens-
es of his farm. His dairy products,
such as sweet milk, butter milk and
sour cream sold to the creamery will
roll up revenue sufficient to defray
the current expenses, leaving the
chief staple crops a surplus. And
while this is going on, he will be
building up his soil and making each
acre more valuable every year.
So long as butter made in other
states is brought into the South and
sold at high prices there will be no
danger of the dairy business being
overdone. We hear of considerable
interest being aroused among the
farmers throughout the country. The
| thriftiest among them have made a
start and number have bought sep
arators. With four or five cows to
the farm to start with, and with the
small expense necessary for equip
ping their farm for selling some
cream to the creameries, they will
have a steady monthly income as
sured, this county will in few years
be on the highway in independence
and prosperity, in spite of the boil
weevil.
Suppose for an instant the boil
weevil had not come. We would now
be making from fifteen to twenty mil
lion bales. Texas alone can produce
forty million bales a year. And what
would the bears be paying for cot
ton? All the way from three to four
cents a pound. With as small crop
as eight million bales, what is cotton
bringing and how long before they
are going to quit talking about the
enormous carry-over that never seems
% diminish? Diaries and hogs will
make a standoff with the carryover.

CHAPTER XIII.

Royal Blondln presently came to pay
his respects TO Harriet in her changed
position. Nina had told her that he
had been forbidden the house, In De-
cember they had seen him only two or
three times since their return from
Bermuda, and then accidentally. Har-
riet was thankful To believe the affair
between him and Nina well over. The
girl was growing up now, there were
other men In her world, and for the
list Of her eighteenth birthday party
she had merely mentioned his name
among others.
Three days before the garden party
that was tn mark the girls anniversary
Royal drifted In with the assurance
that was quite characteristic of him.
He rarely accepted an invitation, or
waited for one. Perhaps he was clever
enough to know that half his acquaint-
ances detested him theoretically, but
were glad to have him about. Nina
and Harriet came In from an after
noon nj the club To find him playing
with languid hands nj the piano, and
he la2ily rose To greet them. While
Nina was there, his attitude toward
both was pleasantly impersonal, but
his suggestion, which was more like a
command, that she run upstairs and
d,ess early, 80 thar they might have
a talk before dinner, sent the girl fly
ing, and he and Harriet could speak
more freely

words.
"Mr Blondin asks my consent to On

"You know my objections to thar,
Harriet. OF course We have Just
been discussing them as I explained
to him. This Is painful matter 20
me, and regret 1t. But Mr.. BlUndin

of him.

Unexpectedly. here between the fam

on June evening, crisis In her life
was confronting her, and she knew
that she must meet 1t.
Wards guest was only the young
Saunders boy, who had been with

was of absolutely no significance In

and she must begin to take her place

liked the title that made her his.
And now she owed him the truth,
the whole, painful. humiliating story.
III she had told him months ago, so

been fighting Nina and his mother
then; she had been afraid. Hut she
