MARKET GROWERS MAY ORGANIZE
Obiect of Proposed Organization is o andardze Quality
 and Price Further Plans be Diseuased Next Saturday,

With view of stapdardizing products and prices. an effort is being made to organize the market growers in this vicinity, and to this end a meeting of some twelve or fifteen growers was held at the home of K. IT. Peclxharn on Corning road on Saturday night, when the matter was discussed in it's several phases
 Air. Peckham. who is member Of both the national and state associa- tfcns of growers, has long been in fa- vor of such an organization in this city, and for that purpose he called a meeting of local growers at his home on Saturday night. MT. Peckham stated Sunday night that the proposed organization is not in any sense of the word a hold up'' on the consumer but simply to standardize the quail ties of products and to make prices uniform. It is felt that an organiza- tion of the local growers would not
Norwich bulletin., 1916-05-01

only benefit the growers and whole salers, but the retailer and consumer as well. It sometimes happens that grow CTS are un5ustiy accused of favoring dealers through ignorance of the prices charge, and the organization would in this manner offer some protection to the grower. Tn other cases where a grower is accustomed to charge higher prices. than the majority of growers the organization would bring about uniform prices.
 According to the present plans the organization if formed would include only those growers who sell their products to wholesalers.
 Another meeting is to be held al MT. Peckham's home on next Saturday when further plans in regard to the proposed organization win be dis cussed and possibly steps towards for nal organization taken.

JOHN M. THAvER
Hartford Times Picks Norwich Mar for Next Democratic Governor.

Discussing state politics editorialiy Friday evening the Hartford Times said:
 For governor there are many and all willing. We mention but one name at this time. The people are waiting and looking for a candidate of spot less character, a man possessed of the qualities that stand for governor in : Connecticut, a man of truly executive ability. We have taken two able and popular governors from the bench, Baldwin and Holcomb. Why not an other? John M Thayer has been on the Connecticut bench since 1889. From the superior he went to the SUI preme court in 1907 All his mature life has been devoted to and inter- woven with the bench of Connecticut and he is known the country over as a sound lawyer and in his own state as working for the welfare of the people. He left Yale in 1869, was law partner of the late Judge Hovey and will leave the supreme court on March Is next. Why not John M. Thayer for next governor 2s'

A Message From
Supt. Swearingen.

DICKENS county is to be congretulat-
ed on the educational spirit Of it's peo-
pie and the forward-looking attitude of
its schools. The county boasts Of the
gestpercentage Of white population in (
the state. The Anglo-Saxon blood may
be clearly seen in the thousands Of
bright healthy, clear-eyed boys and
girls filling the schools. In the large
majority Of the districts parents and
taxpayers have voted local levy to
secure better school facilities. But
these taxes need to be supplemented by
state aid. There are in Pickens county
number of communities which cannot
! secure an adequate school with modest
salaries for teachers, although the peo-
pie are paying an eight-mill school tax:
Martin, Oolenoy, Dacusville, Peters
Creek, Gates, and perhaps others belong
to this group.
The state is interested in the welfare
of these children. The term, extension
| fund. the rural graded school fund and
high school fund have brought and will
continue to bring, better facilities. Dur
ing the scholastic year 1914-15, Pickens
county received $1O,61O state aid for it's
schools; and of this amount the contin-
gent, or equalizing fund, supplied Sd, 47O.
The total amount Of state aid for 1916
16 was $12,041. OF this amount the
contingent fund supplied So, 400. These
figures seem large, but many urgent
demands could not be met. The pro-
gress OF Pickens county schools requires
continuation and extension of this mol
icy. There is nothing too good for
these children. The voters of the county
should insist on economy in government,
but l feel certain they do not want
cheap, inadequate, inefficient schools.
The communities at Martin and Oolenoy
show what can and ought to be done.
The state department of education
STANDS for this policy. l appeal conf
dently to the Pickens county Democrats
Tor their endorsement. The ideals of.
the county superintendent, the patriot
ism OF the trustees and the patient work
OF teachers have helped to secure notable
progress. ] shall ask the legislature
, for an equalizing fund of $50, 600 and a
rural graded school fund of at least
$1Io,ooo. These requests and recon-
mendatlons are based on the hope that
South Carolina will fix firmly her policv
OF liberal state appropriations to the
public schools. If the majority of the
boys and girls are educated at all. thev
must be educated at home. i
