Marketing our surplus crops through cooperation in Lexington County
In a 1921 Lexington County discussion the need to expand markets beyond Columbia is urged. Farmers can grow diverse crops but require proper grading and curing for potatoes, drying facilities, and better markets for peanuts. Chambers of commerce should lead a state wide marketing program to avoid stagnation and dependence on politics.

Augusta Judge Demands Apology Over Georgia Mob Invasion
Augusta Georgia September 4 Judge Henry V Hammond of the Augusta circuit court sent a sharply worded letter jointly addressed to Governors Cooper of South Carolina and Hardwick of Georgia. He reiterated his demand that South Carolina formally apologize for an alleged August 11 mob incursion into Georgia. Hammond ridiculed Hardwick’s idea that he identify mob members before extradition. The Augusta jurist questioned finding angels or demons in the incident and noted Cooper’s earlier characterization of the demand as absurd. The mob sought to seize murder suspects C O Fox and Jesse Gappins in Columbia’s Brazell case.

Copper and Bronze Beginnings in Ancient Europe and Asia
Wells notes 6000 to 7000 years ago Neolithic Europeans used copper with stone tool forms, possibly initially native copper hammered into shape. Bronze emerged from adding tin, improving hardness and fusibility, with smelting hints from Spain and other regions. In India zinc and copper together yielded brass, an alloy discovered similarly. Bronze tools initially copied stone shapes, showing gradual technological shift.
