"There you have in few words
the essential reason why the coop
eratiye marketing plan Is good
thing for cotton.
There you have the reason why
it is going to be put into effect in
Georgia, in time to assure the farm
crS Of Georgia Il fair profit on their
product in the year 1922"
And If this is a good thing for the
farmers OF Georgia, why not for the
farmers Of South Carolina-for the
farmers OF Oconec county, to come
try, and to Il people in whom we are
more directly and vitality interested? ?
What Is the reason f0r--what is
the sense in-thiS multiplicity Of
prolit-takers? They cannot be taken
Justly to task for taking hand in

Cooperative marketing is entirely
practical, it is feasible. and it is Just

elimination of useless cogs in the
wheel that turns in the course of
the business Of putting cotton out Of

There should be steps taken all
over the South to put into effect the

JUST SOME oCONEE FREAKS.
a Double Chicken and Then What?
Black Duck Eggs.

Yes. that's Just what we said
black duck eggs. Not white eggs laid
by black duck, but eggs with bla.
shells laid by black duck. We do
not vouch for the genuineness Of the
black or say that 1t was an idea orig
inal with the duck. But we had in
The Courier office last Wednesday
three fresh duck eggs, and they we're
black In ColOr--that Is, one was real
black, another very, very dark gray
and the third sort Of smoky-look-
ing blueish-gray. Thus 1t is evident
that the duck was just starting up
her dye-workS when she laid this
batch OF eggs, and we sincerely hope
that she will get all her apparatus
In good working order soon, and
that our good friend, Silas N. Butts.
OF the upper part Of the county, will
bring the duck with him the next
time he comes, so thta we can sec
her produce the black eggs. It is IN
old saying that 'seeing Is believing"
but after seeing these black duck
eggs we are yet unconvinced not
that they were black eggs, nor even
that they were black duck eggs. nor
yet that they were perfectly fresh
for they got knocked off our desk
and we had to clean up about iull
quart OF scrambled" duck eggs oM
the floor. tThcy were whoppcrs all
right)
Mr.. Butts also asserts thai this
same duck recently laid an egg uS
black rs the blackest one of the three
presented to us. and that ON this
egg there was more than merely Il
black shell FOR, dclicately and pc"-
fcctly traced on the black back
ground there was Il perfect picture
OF 4 duck. Ihis also, he asserts was
the work OF go ducks internal dye
pia't. CHR Butts is authority for
this statement, not u.s.
And here's why we say we can't
exactly subscribe to the theory that
the duck did the dyeing Of those nice
black eggs: When we found time 70
examine them more minutely than
by giving them the once-over with
our rather pOor-visioned eyes. we

eggshell. If the old duck had done
this job we believe she would have
made it indellible, and she would
have put the dye clear into the tex
ture of the shell. Dumb animals and
fowls have way Of doing things in
real scientific way when they go
at it. We have often seen colored
eggs-not Easter eggs, understand,
but bird eggs-blue eggs, dark brown
eggs, and "freckle-faced" eggs. but
the blue wouldn't wash off, nor the
brown scrape away, nor yet could
single "freckle" be removed from
the eggshell surface. We believe our
good friend Silas was trying to push
black eggs - figuartively speaking,
Of course, down our throats and the
throats Of others here. Bring us the
duck, friend, and let US see the en-
tire process Of manufacture Of these
black eggs. The fact that such a
thing is possible should be estab-
lished beyond a quibble and all the
doubts OF the most doubtful Doubt
ing Thomas should be removed.

in the main building and two in the
annex and two large halls. 1t was
probably worth at the time of the fire
about $4,000. There was insurance to
the amount of $4,000. All of the fam

also destroyed, and there seems to
have been no insurance on this.

CURB PATENT CURES

Literally thousands and thousands
Of applications, officials said, are COM
ing in for permits, and renewals Of
permits to manufacture patent medic
cines containing alcohol. Eevery ap-
plication will be scrutinized with the
utmost care, and it is the intention Of
the prohibition enforcement forces to
weed out all except strictly medical
preparations.
Medicines prepared for legitimate
use will not be interfered with, offic-
ials declared, but where an evident ef-
fort is being made to avoid the pro-
hibition laws under the guise Of a
remedy, the right to manufacture will
be cut off.
Retailers disposing Of patent medi-
cines will not be disturbed, it was as
serted, unless it should be found that
a preparation was sold with knowl-
edge that it was to be used for an un-
lawful purpose.
