maintain her progress with the
other counties of this Nation, then
she have hard working, energetic
county agent. This same candidate
says that Clemson College will fur
nish all the Demonstration Agents
needed. Again he does not know
what he is talking about. / know
more about the conditions at Glenn
son College than any man in this
County, think, and l say that un.
less this County can afforda Coun.
ty Agent then Clemson College
will not be able to give the assist.
ance needed with our agricultural
problems, especially during the
next few years while our county is
undergoing a great change because
of the boil weevil.
Third--Now, as to whether the
present County Agent is costing
the County more than he is worth
is not for m e to say. And that is
not and never will cause me any
worry, for 1 know what County
Agents can demand for their GER
vices and can easily get. So your
present one is not worrying about
being out of a lob. The thing that
makes me think is this: Are the
farmers of this County going to be
without this aid? Gentlemen, as
one who has spent the past four
years in the work, l say that you
should not. If your present one is
costing you too much, then turn
him off and get a cheaper one. If
you do not mind spending a small
portion of the county's money for a
worthy cause, then maintain good
county agent at any cost. If the
present one is not giving the SER
vice you are paying for, then turn
him off and get one that will.
: Fourth-It is not my purpose to-
fight any candidate, but to fight
the idea of this particular one. 1t
is not my purpose to tell you whom
to vote for, but to urge the farmers
and business men of the County:
the importance of maintaining and
cooperating with the Office of the
Agricultural Agent of your Coun-
ty, even if you do it at a losss to-
me. Yours,
A. B. CARWILE,
County Agricultural Agent.

A Letter From MIR. CarWile.
To the Farmers and Progressive
Business Men of Edgefeld Coun-
ty:
Gentlemen: 1 have no place on
the stump in this political campaign
to defend the agricultural develop
ment work that is being carried on,
thru me as County Agricultural
Agent, by the Extension Force of
Clemson College. 1t is not my de-
sire to enter into any political con.
troversy, but to put the true facts
as they really are before the intel
ligent and progressive people of
this County and to stand by the
work and College that / represent
in any fight that is put on them.
First Some tbipk that the Coun-
ty agent rides nothing except gravy
trains, is fed by public servants out
of silver spoons, and draws the
salary Of an oil king. By actual
count your County Agent rode four
teen thousand miles over tough
roads last year, ate where and when
he could, and for salary he gets
about sixty-fve cents per hour for
his work, about half what negro.
brick-layer is paid. But it is a good
work, and / am in it for the good 1
can do the agricultural interests of
the County and also to earn my
subsistence for life, and not alto
gether because the job is such soft.
snap. Here it is well to mention
that the County pays only about
half of MY salary.
Second-One of the Candidates
in his speech here at Edgefeld>last
Monday stated that Edgefeld Coun-
ty does not need an Agricultural
Agent. In answer to this / say
that this poor fellow is far behind
the times as to conditions of our
County, as well as those of the
State and Nation, speaking from
the standpoint of Agriculture. If
the position of Agricultural Agent
is not needed in county, then it
seems FOOLISH indeed, to me that
these; positions have been created
all over the alton, in every State;

Every Bale 81 cotton We remove
from the market will increase the
value of the remaining cotton and
in furnishing central Europe with
raw cotton we will enable them to
enter our market in combination
against the combine which>is now
killing us.
Second. I shall ask the cotton
belt to retire 25 per cent. of the
growing crop in the following man
ner: Each state will retire its pro-
portionate share of the growing
crop. This will require South Car
olina to retire one-twelfth Of 25
per cent. of the growing crop. My
plan for retiring this cotton is as
follows:
RETIRE Portion OF CROP.
"The producer is to warehouse
this cotton and turn the warehouse
receipt over to bank to be desig-
mated blythe South Carolina divi-
sion of the American Cotton Asso-
citation, said bank to give the pro-
ducer trust receipt for his ware
house receipt, said trust receipt be-
ing redeemable in July, 1921, so
that under no condition will it be
possible to sell the cotton before
July 1921; the bank holding the
trust receipt to discount same for
producer in the same proportion he
would make loan on the cotton.
This will enable us to easily retire
from the market 25 per cent. of
the best grades of cotton which is
desperately needed by the world.
I'VE must drastically reduce the
1921 acreage. / shall request each
state association to. appoint COM
mittees in every county and town
ship to secure pledges (pledges are
frequently not worth the paper
they are written on) but legally
executed, written and binding con-
tracts, assuring the reduction of the
cotton acreage of so per cent. This
contract will permit the remeasur.
ing of the cotton acreage planted
and if it is found to be more than
SO per cent the owner permits the
restriction of his cotton down to
| SO per cent. and also lays himself
| to violation of contract. The acre
age so reduced will be planted in
food and feed crops. The world
needs an enormous increased pro-
duction at profitable prices of food
and feed crops. I am finding ready
cooperation, for this plan through
out the South and am requesting
each of the governors to issue a
proclamation endorsing same.

NSCead OF seven ana the dlStr1cC IN
which Mr.. A. M. Zimmerman and
Mr.. j. E. Bryan announced should
be seven, instead of six. However,
this will in no way affect the cleo
ion,for the magistrates tickets have
been CORRECTLY printed. This error,
for which the writer assumes full
responsibility, occurred in this man.
ner: When Mr.. P. w. Cheatham
came in to make his announcement
as candidate he left the number of
his district blank and requested
the writer to get the correct infor-
nation and supply the number. We
cheerfully consented to procure the
information as requested but it was
taken from the Code of 1912,
which gave the number as contained
in the candidates cards. We learned
Monday that the act of 1917
changed the number after McCor-
mick county was formed. The cards
of Mr.. Cheatham and Mr.. Gilchrist
should have announced from the
sixth and the cards of Mr.. Bryan and
MIR. Zimmerman should have an
nounced from the seventh district.
Mr.. P. w. Cheatham did not make
the error, nor did eitherof the
other gentlemen, nor are any OF
them in any way responsible there
for. The editor of The Advertiser
made the mistake by taking the
numbers from the Code of 1912 in
stead of from the acts of 1917, of
which change in number we did not
know at the time the announce
ments were made.
According to the act of 1917
these two districts are given as fol-
lows: The sixth district shall en-
brace Talbert, Moss and that part
of Blocker township west of the
Martin Town road.
The seventh district shall embrace
that portion of Blocker township
east of the Martin Town road and
that portion of Gray township ly-
ing south of the line surveyed from
Greenwood county, that portion of
Pine Grove township remaining in
Edgefield county and that part Of
Pickens township lying north of little
Turkey Creek and west of a straight
line from point on said creek five
hundred yards above the bridge on
the road between Capt. ]. c. Brooks
and estate of John Harris, in a
northeasterly direction to the Sal
uda line, at a point fifty yards north
of Calvary church.
