A TILLMAN REMINISCENCE

This anecdote of the late Senator
Ben Tillman is so characteristic of
the South Carolina statesman that
it will bear retelling.
Senator Foraker, of Ohio, had no
love for Senator 'Tillman or for any
other Southern Congressman for that
matter. He was always intensely sec
tional-could see no good in the
South or in a Southern man. So while
Senator Tillman was speaking, Fo-
raker arose and said in an insulting
tone:
Il should like to ask, Mr.. Presi-
dent, what is before the Senator"
II am before the Senate" fairly
screamed Tillman.
But Senator Foraker, undaunted
by the great laughter that follow
ed Ti!lman's characteristic answer,
insisted on knowing upon what par
ticular subject the Senator was TAX
ing the floor.
"No particular subject" replied Till
man in the same combative manner,
II am just making a rev remarks on
the general cussedncss of the situa-
ton"
Senator Foraker won the title of
Fire-alaIm Foraker, he was always
alarmed at what the South was about
to do. He introduced to an Ohio au-
dience Blanch X. Bruce, the negro
Register of the Treasury and spoke
on the same platform with the negro
official which is sufficient personifi-
cation of the man who was the sub
ject of Senator Tillman's caustic re-
partec.

ALLEGED FRENCH REACTION

George D. Heron has written nu-
merous books about Germany as a
peril to civilization and other condi-
tions in Europe. He is a man who has
studied the situation in the old world
thoroughly and thoughtfully and his
conclusions are certainly entitled to
credit
In recent article in Ford's Inde-
pendent he makes that startling state
ment that the German peril has now
passed to the French fnanciers and
politicians. 1t is these who are seek
ing both ovcrtly and covertly, by in
triguc and by War, TO restore a ;Hed!-
eval and monarchical Europe; to sub
jcct the nations unto the will and the
profit of the French concessiOnaire !;
and to destroy the last vestigc of hon
eSty, the last hope of democracy, the
last basis :or cooperation and good
will among men. And it is against
these that every believer in dcmocra-
cy, every advocate Of honor and faith
between nations, every lover not only
of humanity as a whole but Of the
French people as well, should today
and at all cost take his stand.
In times past France was noted for
the Ecklc, vacillating character of its
people. The bloody revolution of
1889 is an outstanding manifesta-
tation of the character of the French
nation at that period. 1t was hoped
that the years that have passed since
then would have brought the people
to a better realization of national
honor and patriotic government.
These words of warning from
man who has no love for Germany
man who has been favorable in his
books and writings to France, are at
least worth profound consideration.

POOLING PRODUCTS A
FEATURE OF COOPERATIVE
MARKETING

The pooling of products sold
through cooperative organizations is
an important feature of cooperative
marketing, specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have found. By pooling is meant av-
eraging the returns received for
products sold during q certain period,
or for certain shipments, so that each
grower having products of the SAME
grade receives the same price. The
success of the pooling system depends
upon the observance of uniform grad
ing and packing the products.
This method of operation, it is said,
protects the individual member from
loss because of unfavorable market
conditions of temporary nature.
Some farmers marketing organiLa.
tions, especially grain-elevator COM
panias, purchase the members pro-
ducts outright. Conditions and prac-
tees in grain marketing make such
plan feasible, but organizations
handling other products usually find
1t to their advantage to pool ship
ments and await returns before maxi
ing payments to the growers.
In this way the association is re-
heved Of speculative risks, the avoid
ance OF which is highly desirable. Co.
operative creameries, which operate
to the members monthly, in accord
ance with the amount of butter fat
each has delivered the preceding
month, the returns received for pro-
ducts sold less operating expenses,
are good examples of pooling.
The length of the pooling period
varies with the products handled aud
the local conditions. Thus there are
car lot, daily, weekly, semimonthly,
monthly and seasonal pools.

co.oPERArIvE SAILING
80 IN ALLENDAI-E

Another illustration of the way
in which South Carolina farmers are
learning to profit by cooperation
comes from Allendale county. County
Agent Robertson in a recent report
calls attention to the successful out d,
come of his latest shipment of hogs
and the successful operation of an
egg circle.
In regard to his shipment of hogs
he says that the day on which the
hogs were loaded for shipment To-
cal buyer was present and made a
bid, which was not accepted. The. car
was shipped and netted the farmers
who made the shipment IL cents
per pound over the price offered by
the local buyer. The county agent
concludes his report with this signifi-
cent remark: "In the future do not
expect to have any trouble In getting
our livestock marketed cooperative
ly." A dozen cars have been shipped
comparatively from Allendale county
this spring, fine record for former
all-cotton county.
In connection with the home DEM
oneIration agent of Allendale county
Mr.. Robertson reports also the organ
ization Of an egg circle at Barton.
The first shipment was on May
when there were ninety dozen eggs
brought in for shipment. These were
candled by the agents and only
few were found unmarketable. The
eggs netted 81 cents per dozen,
though at that time eggs were sell
ing in Allendale, the county seat, at
12h cents per dozen. The organiza-
tion and operation of this egg circle
is one of the good results Of the
Barton Community Club, and County
Agent Robertson makes this state
ment in closing his report: "Our COM
munity clubs will soon demonstrate
to the people that they are worth
while"

GAME LAWS

In the pamphlet of Bird, Game and
Non-Migratory Fish Laws of South
Carolina, published by authority of
W. H. Gibbes, Chief Game Warden,
of South Carolina, in April 1920,
there is failure to incorporate Act
No. 3S6, of the Acts Of 1878, which
Act, in part, says:
"There shall be close time in all
creeks, streams and inland waters of
the state from the setting of the sun
each Saturday until the rising of the
sun each Wednesday, during which
time all seines, nets of any plan or
device for the stoppage or collecting
of fish which obstructs any portion
of any creek, stream or inland waters
other than a dam for manufacturing
purposes, shall be removed from said
creeks, streams or inland waters; and
any person or persons using such
seine net plan or device in violation
of the provisions of this Act shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof before any
court of competent jurisdiction, shall
be fined in the sum of two hundred
dollars, one-half of which will go to
the informer and other half to the
court in which the case shall be tried,
or be imprisoned for period of not
less than three nor more than six
months, or both, in the discretion of
the court trying the case. Nothing
herein contained shall apply to fish
ing with dip nets used by hand. And
wherever any seine, net or any device
for. the stoppage or collecting fish,
as above stated, shall be used, the
Chief Game Warden or any Warden
shall have the opportunity, in the
name of the state, to seize and hold
said seine, net or plan or device for
the stoppage or collecting of fish, and
to use the same as evidence for the
purpose of convicting any person vi
olating the provisions of this section:
and upon conviction of the person SO
using said seine, net or plan or device
for the stoppage or collecting of fish,
the same shall be forfeited to the
state and sold, the proceeds of said
sale to be transmitted to the credit
of the Game Protection Fund" Ap-
proved the 18th day of February, A.
ID. 1913"
On May 10, 1921, took this
matter up with the Attorney General,
and his opinion is this:
81 find no amendment or repeating
Act changing the provisions of this
Section in the respect that it requires
a close time in creeks, streams and
inland waters of the State In my
opinion this provision is still in eff
feet. (Signed) Sam'l M. Wolfe, At
torney General"

COTTON DUsTlNc IN ,s2,

VIII it be profitable to dust cotton
IN 1921, and under what conditions
will it be profitable? These ar. oues-
ton now being asked of the entomo-
iogy division by farmers of the state
In reply to such questions, Prof. A.
r. Conradi, chief of the division.
states that since it has not yet been
possible TO conclude the extensive
experiments in cotton dusting in this
state no specific advice can be given
IN regard to dusting, but that farm
ers are referred to Circular 1872 of
the Office of the Secretary of Aeri-
culture and to an article on the sub-

lures Weekly News Lttr of Nav 4.
1871. The Government experiments
nave been sufficiently numerous on
"hlch to base an estimate, and these
recommendations are the most au-
thenic available at this time.
The article in the Weekly News
Letter says In part: Because of the
discouraging decrease in the price of
cotton, many growers have accented
the conclusion that to dust with cal

Contrary conclusions are reached bv

HOW LONG3

In two casual conversations be-
tween low-countryman and two up
countrymen this week the latter in
troduced the subj ect of South Carroll
ma Tax assessments. They are stirred
up because of their inequalities.
One told of a piece of property
that he knew of in his city that has
been returned for taxation for a
number of years at less than $IO,-
900. Recently part has been sold
for 100000 and the balance is held
to be worth 100000. The man said,
What encouragement is that to a
man who wants to pay fair share of
the taxes?"
The other said that a $4,000 loan
was recently applied for on a piece
of city property, which is held to be
worth 100000. When the tax books
were referred to it was found that
the assessment was for $4,000. j..
seems that some years ago the large
property of which this piece was then
part, began to be cut up and sold.
Each time parcel was sold the price
of it was deducted from the as
sessment on the tax books. That ex-
plantations is no justification, of course
but it illustrates custom that is said
to be somewhat general all over the
State.
Until the archaic, unjust, unscien-
tific system of taxation that we toll
crate is rooted up and cast out OF our
constitution and statute law we will
be crippled in all our prlvat, business
and in our government.
North Carolina, with just such
problem as ours, has solved a large
part of it. She is now starting on a
period of development that makes us
gasp. We are to be left behind in the
development of our resources, both
private and public, if we do not cure
this fundamental difficulty.
How long are we to sit simply in
the face of this condition:
Every citizen should determine
whether he personally wants a
change. If he does, he should tell the
representatives in the legislature
that he does. The legislature has be-
fore it clear statement of road to
follow that will lead us out. 1t is the
report of its own committee written
by Senator Marion.-Nicl; Christen-
sen in the Beaufort Gazette.

Tenancy in the Rural Districts
was the study for the afternoon, and
was ably presented in an entertaining
program arranged by Miss Belle
Cheatham. The facts were brought
out that landlordism is growing in the
United States, and so is the army OF
tenants. a condition that has placed a
larger tax on the cost of living. Stress
was laid on the effect of tenancy on
the land. on buildings and equipment,
on the tenant himself, on the landlord,
the public schools, the church and on
