COUNTY FARMERS UNION.
Regular Meeting-Oficers Elected
Stand Firm for Fifteen
Cents.

The regular meeting Of the Coun-
" Farmers Union was held last Sat-
urday. There was y good attendance
and much enthusiasm was shown in
the work Of the union in this county
and grim determination on the part Of
loyal members to stem the tide in the
decline of price in cotton. Resolu-
tons to this effect were enthusiastic
cally adopted.
After the transaction of many mat
ters of interest to the organization in
the county the following action was
unanimously taken:
Whereas, the October condition re-
port upon the cotton crop issued by
the government, the unprecedented
falling-off in the ginners' reports,
and from all information receiveGS
from all sources Of the probable yield
and the extraordinary demand for the
staple have strengthened and justif-
ed the position taken by the National
Farmers Union ut its recent meeting
in Little Rock, Arkansas. that we
urge with all the emphasis in our
power upon the entire membership
Of the Farmers Union in this county
not to sell any cotton below the min
imum price Of Is cents the pound;
that those members who produce tho
upland long staple cotton are equally
bound by this action; that we have
right to expect absolute loyalty to
the action of the National Union, and
we look with disfavor upon any dis
loyalty.
In accordance with this action by
the county, the president and Secre-
tary and executive committee we're
authorized to issue a statement to
the membership urging fidelity to
this decision of our national and
county unions.
The election Of officers for the next
year resulted as follows:
w. c. Brown, president; S. p.
CrotweIl, vicc-prcsident; j. B. O'Neall
Holloway, secretary-treasurer; Rev.
J. }. Long, chaplain; NJ. H. Folk,

ing them to hold their cotton for the
minimum price.

GOOD COTTON PICKING.
Three Men and Two Women Gather
1929 Pounds in One
Day.

Several newspaper items have ap-
peared in various papers in regard
to cotton picking feats recently. Mr..
a. u. Wertz, near Dead Fall has five
negroes on his place who have made
the record SO far and this was the
second picking. About the first Of
September Griffin Benton gathered
3O4 pounds, and his wife Josie Ben
ton 406. Liza Lake picked 3S9 pounds
and her two sons Jno. Lake $40 and
Dock Lake $50 pounds, making a to-
tai for the five of 1929 pounds in one
ordinary day.
This is pretty good work and the
fields throughout this county have
great need for many such harvesters
just at this time.

TWO MILES TO LIGHT PIPE.
AS Result Is Severely Out and Runs
Out Of His Shoes and
Coat.

Nathan Suber and his wife had
not lived altogether pleasantly togeth-
er for some while and he had gone
away and WAS living with Mr. Jno. c..
tlipp two miles south of Newberry
while the wife remained at Spearman
row in the suburbs Of the city. On
Friday night, however, Nathan de-
termhned, 1t seems, to pay a visit
to his former home and to see his
wife once more, whether for the pur-
pose Of wiping out old scores and
starting life over again or not is not
known. It seems, however, that he
had not notified his wife of the pro-
posed visit.
When Nathan arrived at his for
mer home he found the door closed
and it was not promptly opened in
response to his knocks and he forced
an entrance.
He also found Bolton Henderson at
his former home. Belton lives some
two miles away on Mr.. Neel's place.
Nathan vas not pleased evidently at
the visit Of Bolton to his wife and he
proceeded without ceremony to make
his displeasure known by pouncing
upon Bolton with a knife and giving
him several very ugly wounds. AS
soon as Bolton could get away he
made his escape through the cotton
fields and on to the residence of DR..
Ellisor. He was bleeding profusely
and had literally, according to his
story, run out of his coat and shoes
for he was barefooted and coatless.
He says he wanted some fire - light
his pipe and had come some two miles
to get the fro from Nathan 9 wife
OF course he could not smoke with
out fire and where else could he get
fire so conveniently and then he re-
mained to have social talk, Of course
neither Bolton nor the wife Of Natn.
an expecting the husband to make a
call that evening.
DR.. Ellison took Bolton to his office
and scwed up the wounds. He does
not think the wounds serious but Bel
ton was badly cut in several places.
No report has been received of the
interview between Nathan and his
wife after Bolton was so unceremon-
iously asked to depart.

Throws Away Annually $25, 900, 900.
Miami (Fla.) Record.

Throws Away Annually $25, 5,ooo, 900.
Miami (Fla.) Record.
An official in the agricultural de-
partment who is well versed on the
subject Of cotton seed has estimated
that the farmers of the South lose
annually $25,O00,000 by not market
ing their cotton seed. His estimate
is gained through the following facts.
An average crop Of 100000
bales will afford yield Of 100000
tons of cotton seed. The cotton seed
mills Of the state report annually
that of this amount 3,500,000 tons
are crushed at their refincries.
This will leave a clear 100000
tons Of cotton seed which are either
thrown away, left to lie on the
ground and rot, or as in olden days,
the seed are placed in the ground
as fertilizer.
1t is estimated that out Of this
amount Of seed wasted there is So,
100000 worth of lint, which is used
for all sorts of practical purposes,
and $25,000,000 worth of cotton seed
oil which is never extracted and re-
fined. which DR.. McCandless states
is of no earthly use as fertilizer.
This experiment, with this state
ment Of the waste that is going on
around the country, will doubtless
cause more cotton seed to be placed
on the market.
