have been exceptionally busy this
week getting the tobacco planted.
With their help they have been work.
ing into the dark Of night. Mr.. Glas-
cock remarked last evening that he
had never witnessed 80 much tobacco
being set by machines. The tobacco
crop in Mason county will be enor-
nous next year unless something I'M
forseen happens.
Due to the fact the men are busy
until late each night and then are too
tired to come out to the meeting, the
meetings have not been attended In
such proportions as they would have
under normal conditions. The man Of
the farm is doing as he should in tend
ing his tobacco planting while condi-
tons are right. We venture to sug-
gest to him that he give some thought
to the delivering of his bumper crop"
to the market next fall. 1t is abso-
lutely just as necessary to think Of the
marketing conditions as 1t is the
planting and raising Of the tobacco.
Nobody doubts the fact that the high
prices paid for tobacco last year are
responsible for the large crop that Is
being planted now.
But 1t would be folly to raise fine
large crop of tobacco this summer and
have a good priced market awaiting
this fall, only to find that the roads
were not trespassable or that 1t was
dangerous to attempt to make delivery
and become stuck in the mud on some
pike with the result that much money
would be lost due to the crop being
damaged.
Now, is the time to think Of just
such conditions and to do your part
to secure the desired and necessary
road conditions. We are to vote on
road tax next Saturday and 1t Is not
going to be lost by opposition. If it
is lost it will be on account Of the
Indifference and disinterestedness Of
the voters Of Mason county.
Sentiment is growing in favor Of the
tax each day, but it will be lost If
those that recognize that 1t is the only
hope the citizens of Mason county
have of securing the necessary road
improvement at the present time
don't go to the polls and vote YES.
1t is absolutely necessary that every
man and woman In the county that is
in sympathy with the tax get out and
work for 1t.
The Fernleaf meeting was held at
Henderson's store last evening and
about thirty Of the most prominent
men of that neighborhood were pres
ent and listened attentively to the
facts as presented by Messrs. William
Rees and e. T. Kirk. The men ex-
pressed themselves as being in sym
pathy with the tax and recognizing
the fact of great need Of more funds
A number of the men paid a fine COM
pliment to the untiring and business
like management of the Fiscal Court.
Mr.. Mains, the chairman of the Min
erva precinct had arranged fine at
tendance of the men of that neigh
borhood for the speaker, Mr.. 8. F.
Reed, who presented the reasons for
the tax and explained the plans of the
Court in expanding the funds, that are
to be derived by the tax.
Three meetings are scheduled for
tonight. One at the Murphysville
church, another at the Washington
school and the third at the M0rans-
burg church. Tomorrow evening will
conclude the precinct meetings with
meetings at the Orangeburg Chris
tan church, Rectorville school, Bull
Creek school and the Oklahoma
school, Those living in the neigh
borhood Of these meetings should ar
range to attend and invite their neigh
bors. The meetings have been short
and interesting, lasting just one hour
from nine to ten. The speakers have
been arriving at the meeting places at
eight o'clock and spend an hour dis
cussing the different points in an in
formal way.
Messrs. c. s. Kirk and c. s. Dale
presented some very interesting facts
