Tobacco Meeting Called for Tuesday
Mullins, S. C., June %, 1920.

Mullins, S. C., June 20, 1920.
A little more than year ago the
South Carolina Tobacco Association
was organized at Florence, S. c., but
soon after the markets opened last
year it was found that the organiza-
ton lacked efficiency. AS every ware
house selling tobacco in the belt was
full of tobacco and could not ship
pound, hence it was necessary to have
a call meeting of the association and
appoint a committee to 60 to Wash
ington for the purpose Of getting the
railroad embargo lifted. This was
done and in three days the purpose
was fully accomplished.
AS vice-president of the association
l have received urgent requests from
prominent farmers, bankers, ware
housemen and tobacco buyers asking
far a meeting of the association. In
accordance with these requests l have
selected next Tuesday, July 9Th at
1870 for a meeting of the association
to be held in the county court house
in Florence, S. c., for the purpose of
perfecting more efficient organiza-
ton and to consider the question of
finance and transportation and any
other matter which may properly
come before the meetig.
In making this call I earnestly re-
quest that tho tobacco growers, the
tobacco warehousemen, the tobacco
buyers and the bankers Of every to-
bacco growing section of the State
send representatives to the meeting.
It is also requested that the weekly
papers in the tobacco belt publish this
notice.

Vice President s. c. Tobacco Asso.

NOT WHAT 1T SHOULD BE
Report on Visit to the County Chain
Gang Made by Asst. Sect. Brearley

Living conditions at the Williams
burg County chain gang are not as
good as they should be. The blank
cts are badly in need of thorough
cleansing since they have probably
not been washed in a year. The sew
age is dumped into an open ditch in
stead of being put into a pit and
covered every day with three or four
inches of dirt. The camp is also in
fected with body lice. In order to
prevent this it is necessary for all
foremen to require all newly COM
mitted prisoners to bathe thoroughly
and be treated with vermicide and to
supply them with clean clothes and
bedding. The clothes: they wore to
camp should then be disinfected or
burned.
The equipment of the camp should
also be improved. The tent has no
fly or second cover and leaks badly
in rainy weather; the "cage" is also
in need of repairs and should be sup
piled with curtains before the winter
to protect the prisoners from the
wind; and more bedding of variety
that can be easily washed should be
purchased.

As these figures represent less than
half the amount the several schools
were entitled to under the law, and
approved by the State Supt. Of Edu-
cation, it will readily be seen that
these schools will close the year in
debt.
/ wish again to impress on trustees
the Importance and absolute necessity
of coming up to the requirements of
the law. One school failed to get
any money for the need of 8 pupils.
If their school had enrolled three
pupils more than they did they would
have been entitled to $4,000. Don't
think % or "a pupils in class room

always done my very best to get
every cent possible for the schools OF
the county. As the demand increases,
however, I find the money hard to
get.

County Schools Receive State Aid.

Editor County Record: Money as
indicated below has been received
from the office of the State Super
intendent of Education for needy
schools under the Equalizing Act.
The State Superintendent says in a
letter: "Owing to the unexpected in
crease in the number of districts vot-
ing 8 mills or more, the equalizing
fund had to be sealed. Payment was
made on the basis of 47.65%. shall
report the deficit to the legislature
in January. At least 100000 will be
needed to carry out the Equalizing
law next year."
Schools received aid as follows:

The population Of continental
United States is estimated at 105,
100000 by j. A. Hill, chief 7statisti-
cian of the census bureau His calcu-
lation is based on the combined popu-
lation of LAOS cities and towns for
which statistics were announced last
week.
The increase over 1910 is placed at
about 100000 showing the growth
of the country has not kept pace with
previous decades. Almost complete
cessation of immigration during the
war is the chief reason assigned for
the falling off in growth. Others
suggested We're the two influenza cpl
denies, return of aliens to their ma
tive lands, and deaths of soldiers
abroad and at home during the war.
The approximate population of the
cities and towns on which the esti-
mate was made is 41,029, 1854. This
is an average of 26 per cent, COM
pared with IS per cent in the pre-
vious. decade.

along, barely making both
ends meet pending the end Of the
control of the state and
the return Of business to normal.
"The organization is a~utocratic and
the farmers have nothing whatsoever
to say about the conduct, policy, meth
cd of operation, OF management Of
the league newspapers" was what
Rishoff told Wood.
Rishoff charges that Brinton, with
Townley, Lemke and Wood, is still
actually in direct management of the
league newspapers. Brinton, Lemke,
Townley and Wood; through their
common stock, absolutely control the
newspapers. Then too, the service
bureau charges for service at such a
rate that it eats up any profit.
Rishoff poured out his heart, not to
say anything about his personal op-
inions, in talking to a representative
of this bureau.
It is evident that Brinton is hav-
ing a hard time to find a party who
is willing to be the political editor
ial catspaw to pull his chestnuts out
of the fire. First Walter w. Liggett
bolted and said Brinton must needs
go; and E. R. Russell, associate edi-
tor Of the Nonpartisan Leader refus-
ed to take Liggett's job as head of
the Publishers Service Bureau. Then
to cur a catspaw the state organ
ization vas consolidated with the Ma
tional bureau at St. Paul and Rishoff
had the Brinton graft wished on him.
Moody of the Richland county Farm
er had previously refused the job.
Now Rishof has thrown up the
sponge and refuses to let himself be
soaked. "Brinton must go" is the
slogan.
Popular, isn't he?
Owes About 100000
It is stated that the Publishers
Service Bureau owes about $3.50, 600
in various plants. When the farmers
signed their notes for the taking over
of the Brint9n papers, the paper was
hooked by the Publishers Service

R|SH0FF, MANAGER TOWNLEY'S
PRESS BUREAU, HAS RESIGNED
Insist Rishof Remain

After this revolt by Rishoff he was
approached by both Lemke and
Wood. Bishop Bill Lemke insisted
that Rishoff remain as manager of
the Townley prepared dispatch SER
vice. But Rishoff refused unless
Brinton be s%idetracked for keeps.
Lemke then offered a big increase in
salary, but Rishoff was firm.
Lemke insisted that Brinton could
not be fired.
Rishof originally was editor of
the Milton Globe, and when the lea
que was organized Joined it's ranks.
He was the organizer and editor
manager of the first Nonpartisan
League newspaper, the B~ottineau
Courant; then went to Fargo as head
of the Northwestern Service Bureau,
the original league newspaper COM
bination, then went to St. Paul as
the head Of the League National Ser
vice Bureau which prepares the cam
ned dope for the papers in all the
states where the Townley propaganda
is being carried on.
When Brinton conceived his fam
Gus "grab" scheme he established a
separate bureau at Fargo and made
himself head Of it. He secured op-
lions on fifty newspapers, n in each
county in the state, then secured the
passage of the bill which gave the
administration the power to name an
official paper in which every line of
paid for legal advertising should be
printed.

Wood Said it Couldn't Be

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 7.-"There
are going to be some criminal arrests.
The only way this can be prevented is
to clean up the whole mess, and see
that every farmer who has put money
in any of the league papers gets his
money back or else stock that repre-
sents actual value" said O. T. Rish-
off, manager Of the Publishers Ma
tional Service Bureau, which is the
league organization controlling the
Townley newspapers established by
the Brinton newspaper grab act.
Rishof rendered his resignation to
F. B. Wood director general of the
Brinton- Townley subsidized press, and
made the above statement to Wood.
eve must get rid Of Brinton. The
farmers are onto him, and it will be
impossible to re-organize the Pub
lishers' Service Bureau and meet our
debts unless we absolutely sever all
connections with Brinton,". said Mr..
Rishoff.
Wood said this couldn't be done.
"Well, Pm going to be out of it,
clean out of it, and l am not going to
be in on the criminal prosecutions
when they are started" said Rishoff.
"No one can afford to be mixed up
with this mess, because before it is

Thrown into a common pot the money

Ministers of City
to Camp Out on
"Y'' Site Monday

The ministers of the various
churches in Volusia county have de-
cided to have little season OF play
together next Monday at the T. NJ
G. A. county camp on Lake Winona.
They will meet at the camp in the
early morning hours, and stay the
night in tents. returning to their var
ious fields of activity on Tuesday
morning The hours will be spent
rowing. fishing. swimming, and at
athletic games. with a together
council around the eamp-fi fire at night.
The two chief reasons which have
induced the ministers to take this
little outing are, first. belief in the
old saying All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy" and. second
real desire to know each other bet
ter. There will be a discussion OF
some of the problems of life and
work, out of which issues of import
ance may arise, but primarily the
gathering is of social and recreative
nature. Most of the ministers of the
county have been personally invited
but if any have been overlooked, ant
would care to participate, this con-
stitutes a cordial invitation. which
they are urged to accept. Monday
Oct. 18th is the date.
