On entering we looked up into the
face of deer with branching ant

roamed the forests surrounding this
very lake. On one side huge fire
place stood ready for cracking fires
and toasting marshmallows when in
winter the winds whistle across the
frozen lake, and the birches have
dropped their crimson leaves and
stand like bare sentinels at their
posts.
The moon rose with such dazzling
splendor that it seemed pity we
could not hold it there till all the
world might come and look. Soon a
little canoe was splashing its way
across the motionless water.
At midnight lunch with hot cof-
fee was served in the long club din

an enthusiastic meeting of all their
members at the church. Mrs. Ma

Quoted the devotions and Mrs. j. L.
Minis was called upon to take
charge of the programme for State

out near the door and held an en-

any instrument, the old-times
hymns.
It seemed that every lady and
child in the community was pres
ent, but Mrs. Newton Fair and
Mrs. Pierce Ryan were missed, not
being able to attend on account of
indisposition. Mrs. P. II. Bussey
told about the first day of the
Union Meeting at Modoc.
At the close of the meeting every
body repaired out under the trees,
and an elaborate salad course was
served in picnic style and iced tea
accompanied it. Mrs. Wesley
Cheatham of Edgefeld was another
guest of the occasion. Mrs. Susie
Miller, who has beer the faithful
leader 80 long was there also to
make the occasion more enjoyable.

In Memory of a Life Long
Friend.

I have known Mr.. G. M. Viii.
liams, for at least fifty-fve years,
and to .say he had no faults
is not mine to say, but will say
that they were so few and far be-
tween, and 80 close akin to his
many virtues that difference is
hardly discernable. Therefore it is
my purpose to speak of his sterling
worth as a man indeed, a good
citizen, neighbor, friend, father and
husband.
He was ever ready to lend help
to the needy, and protect those
who needed protection. He always
had undaunted courage sufficient to
defend the right and condemn the
wrong.
To his children, I will say. emu
late his many virtues and you will
never be hurt thereby.

Meeting of Cotton Growers
Association,

Pursuant to a call of Governor
Cooper a meeting of the Cotton
Growers Association was held in the
Court House Monday. In the absence
of the president of the association,
Mr.. B. R. .Tillman presided. After a
general discussion of. every phase Of
the present cotton situation, espe-
cially the marketing situation, upon
motion of Capt. ]. R. Blocker, the
following resolutions adopted at the
recent Montgomery convection were
adopted without a dissenting vote:
"That the minimum cotton
price for the 1920 cotton crop
be fixed. at 40 cents until the,
first of November, thereafter
said price to be increased one:
cent each month.
'That 25 per cent of the best.
grade of cotton be retired until
the summer of 1921.
"That all cotton be held off
the market until the minimum
price be reached.
"That the acreage of the 1921
cotton crop be reduced one
third.
"That this county association,
provide adequate means for
warehousing the cotton crop Of
1920 in order that the same may
be properly financed"
Mr.. 1illman urged organization of
the part Of the farmers, stating that
there is absolutely no hope for their
financial independence until they
are thoroughly organized. He cited
the experience of the asparagus grow
ers to prove the beneficial effects
that will follow the organization.
Five years ago asparagus sold for
$1.O5 per dozen punches, while now
under organization and cooperative
it, sells for $5.05 per doz-t
en- punches. Without organizations

read letter from Orangeburg set
ting forth the vast benefit the gov
ernment cotton graders had been to-
that town and to the farmers who
sold cotton there. The splendid ser
vice which the cotton grader is now
rendering to Edgefeld farmers was
pointed out to the people present.
Mr.. Gordon made a brief statement
himself urging farmers to cooperate
with him in his efforts to serve the
people.
Mr.. S. B. Nicholson spoke of the
increased warehouse facilities of
Edgefeld. One new warehouse of
600 bales capacity has just been com
pleted and others will be erected,
which will in the end take care of
the interests of all farmers who de-
sire to store their cotton here.
Carrying out a resolution which
was adopted, Mr.. Tillman appointed
committees in every school district
to make a thorough canvass for
members of the association and to
make their report at another meet
ing which will be held at Edgefeld
Thursday, September 80. On that
day there should be hundreds of
farmers here to continue to plan for
their protection and preservation.

Reception to Teachers.

Lear Advertiser: ~.
I think that people use slang in
many cases because it seems to be-
little more expressive of just the
thought they intend to convey. How.
ever, it seems to me that the Indian
names that have attached themselves
to the various lakes, cities and rivers
in our country are more musical and
descriptive than any other words
which the English language has
adopted.
If such Eastern names as Singa-
pore, Shanghai, Hong Kong and To-
kyo are redolent with the atmos-
phere of banyan trees, spices and
cherry blossoms, so such names as
Esquagainaa, Minnehaha, Mesaba
and Biwabik are suggestive of pine
trees, white birches, canoes, snow.
shoes and moccasins. Each word is to-
me picture itself, and each sound
a little melody. Ill
The Indian is the only one of the
races 1 have observed in America
who has not adapted himself to
American civilization. He is pictur-
esque in his native wilds but sordid
