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. P. 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 4O6. 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 TIE
fields throughout this county have
great need for many such harvesters
just at this time.

TWO MILES To LIGHT PIPE.
As Result Is Severely Cut 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.
Hipp two miles south of Newberry
while the wife remained at Spearman
row in the suburbs Of the city. On
Friday night, however, Nathan de-
ternined, it seems, to pay a visit
to MS 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 be
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 Belton 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 Belton to his wife and he
proceeded without ceremony to make
his displeasure known by pounclng
upon Bolton with a knife and giving
him several very ugly wounds: As
soon as Belton could get away he
made his escape through the cotton
fields and on to the residence Of DR..
Ellison. He was bleeding profusely
and had literally, according to his
story, run out Of his coat and shoes
for he was barefooted and eoatless.
He says he wanted some fire to light
his pipe and had come some two miles
to Get tne fire from Nathan's 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 a social talk: Of course
neither Bolton nor the wife Of Nata'
an expecting the husband to make a
call that evening.
DR.. Ellison took Bolton to his office
and sewed 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 80 unceremon'
iously asked to depart.

Miami (Fla.) Record.
An official in the agricultural de-
partment who is wep versed on the
subject of cotton seed has estimated
that the farmers of the South lose
annually $25,O0O,O0o by not market
ing their cotton seed. His estimate
is gained through the following facts.
An average crop Of 12,O00,W
bales will afford a yield Of 100000
tons Of cotton seed. The cotton seed
mills of the state report annually
that Of this amount 3,5oo,oOo tons
are crushed at their refineries.
This will leave a clear 2,OOo,OOO
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.
Il 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 s25,OOO,OOo worth Of cotton seed
oil which is never extracted and re-
fined. which DR.. McCandless states
is of, no earthly use as a 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.

COUNTY FARMERS UNION.
Regular Meeting-0&cers Elected
Stand Firm for Fifteen
Cents.

The regular meeting Of the Coun-
tv Farmers Union was held last Sat-
urday. There was : 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 tae tide IN the
decline of price in cotton. Resolu-
tions 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
fallng-off in the ginners' reports,
and from all information neceived
from all sources Of the probable yield
and the extraordinary demand for the
staple have strengthened and justih-
ed the position taken by the National
Farmers Union at 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
inum price Of Is cents the pound;
that those members who produce the
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 were
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
wear resulted as follows:
W. C. Brown, president; S. P.
Crotwell, vice-president; J. B. O'Neall
Holloway, secretary-treasurer; Rev.
J. J. Long, chaplain; NJ. II. Folk

ENTERS FORTY-THIRD YEAR.
Rev. ]. A. Sigh Has Served One Con-
gregation as Pastor for -orty-
two Years.

On last OalurQaE a. meeting Ol
the joint council Of St. Paul's and
Colony Lutheran churches in this
county, a call was extended to the
Rev. J. A. Sigh to serve the congre~
cations as pastor for another year.
Mr.. Sligh has accepted and will
preach at St. Paul's on the first and
third Sundays, and at Colony on the
second and fourth.
This concludes forty-two years of
continuous and active service by Rev.
Mr.. Sigh as pastor Of St. Paul's. In
fact, we believe it was his first pas
torate, and while he has served other
churches in connection with this
church, and has built as offsprings
Of St. Paul's four or five Lutheran
churches in that part Of the county,
he has continually served the people
at St. Paul's as pastor during all
these years, and now enters upon his
forty-third year. This covers more
than a generation, and in looking ov-
er the congregation on Sunday We
could not recognize one Of the MEM
bers, who were officers and leaders
Of the church when Mr.. Sigh took
charge forty-two years ago, and it IS
long time to serve one congregation,
and practically all Of the member
ship Of the church now is composed
of those who were baptized and con-
frmed by Mr.. Sigh. There are few,
but a very small few, Of those still
left, who were members when he en-
tered upon his pastorate in this con-
gregation. Though nearly seventy
two years Of age, he is still strong
and vigorous man and breaches with
that enthusiasm and vigor, which
marked his discourses in his younger
days. On last Sunday he preached a
forcible sermon and then admitted to
the congregation seven young parsons
by confirmation and administered the
communion to probably two hundred
members of his church.
It was our pleasure to be with these
people on Sunday morning, and one
thing that impressed us probably
more than anything else apart from
the services was the large proportion
of the congregation being composed
of young men and young women just
entering upon the active duties OF
life.
This section of the county is large
ly composed of white people and small
farmers, and We are pleased to note
the evidd dnces Of prosperity which
seem to prevail on all sides. The
crops from Newbery to St. Paul's
seem to be fairly good and especially
is the corn crop very fine. We wish
however, that we could impress upon
the farmers of this section the i'm
portance and the advantage Of giving
more attention not only to the COM
fort of their homes, but to beautify-
ing the yards and painting the houses.
This is a fine section Of Newberry
county and is composed Of hard work
ing honest and upright citizens, and
if little more attention were given
to home comforts and home surround
ings, the tendency for the young men
to leave the farms would not be so
great. We need in this county more
small farms rather than large landed
estates.
