LOST: A Chapman's History of
Edgefield. This book is a history with
a history. When the first Library As
ISOLATION was in operation in Edge
fell, Mr. Thomas j. Adams, editor
of the Advertiser, gave this volume,
which with others, he had secured
from the author, Mr.. Chapman, to
the Library. When the Library sus-
pended operation some of the man
agement gave the book to Mrs. j. l..
Minis, Mr.. Adams daughter. Mrs.
Minis had another copy so she gave
the book to me. I prize it very high
lySand am anxious to regain possess
sion of it. About a year or more ago
1 loaned it to some lady who has not
returned it. 1t is possible that the
book has been placed in the Library
as on the front board binding of the
book are the words "Edgefield Lii
brary" printed with a stamp On the
fly leaf is my own name. l will very
much appreciate any help given me
by my friends in locating this history
or any other books of mine that have
been loaned out and not returned.

Scientific Marketing Needed.

One sees more in the public prints
and hears more in conversation,
where a group of men come together,
about cooperative marketing of farm
products than almost any other topic
pertaining to farming. Certainly the
question is being more intelligently
agitated now than ever before. And
wisely so, too. Our farmers have long
ago gotten away from the way their
fathers fertilized, planted and cult
waited crops, with the result that
Yields have been more than double
those of several decades ago, but they
are still marketing in the same old
way their fathers did. Times and con-
ditions have changed and unless the
method of marketing farm produce
changes, farmers can not expect to
receive profitable prices.
It is encouraging to see that in
many counties largely attended pub
Lie gatherings, solely for the purpose
of discussing marketing conditions,
are being held with profitable re-
suits. Farmers of Edgefeld county
need to come together and discuss
plans along this line for the future.
Recently a dozen or so business
-
men of Edgefeld met and organized
the Edgefeld Produce Exchange
which has for it's purpose the market
ing of farm produce. 1t is not a mon
ey making organization for its pro-
motors, but the exchange exists sole
w to assist in finding a market for
Irish potatoes, beans and other per-
ishable crops that will be grown in
this vicinity this year. This is the
first step along the line of coopera-
tive marketing that has been under
taken at Edgefield and we trust that
it will prove to be a success, leading
to a similar organisation upon a larg-

South Carolina Legislative
Council Active.

The Legislative Council, composed
of 16 State Organizations of Women
are asking legislation and cooperation
on the following measures:

adequate revision of Tax Laws for
South Carolina.
2. An appropriation to establish the
Broad River Farm. CA state farm for

5. The following resolution was
passed by the Women's Council:
Realizing the present depression
in the state and country at large and
the grave danger that in order to
meet emergencies, the serious mis-
take of lowering the appropriation
now made to vital departments of the
State, we earnestly ask the General
Assembly of South Carolina to keep
in tact state organizations and de-
partments of State Agencies now in
existence with their present appro-
priatjons and such increases as are
vitality necessary"
The Department particularly re-
ferred to in this resolution are:

larlv the child placing bureau.)
2. Home Demonstration work.

!forcement Of compulsory education

ton.

endorsed the bill and urge the ap-
preparation recommended by the COM
mittee THAT made the survey. of the
feeble minded conditions of the state,

Wednesday, January Is,
Needed Change in Law.

A bill has been introduced in the
South Carolina legislature changing
the present prohibition law so as to
provide sentences of Imprisonment,
without alternative of fine, for those
who violate the law. This needed
change should be made. 1t is sdificult
to understand why judges frequently
make sentences SC light on this
vicious class Of law breakers. What
does an illicit distiller or seller OF
whiskey care for a fine? But if given
q term of months or years on the
Changing or in the ~penitentiary, they
will go slow in the matter of violat-
ing the law.
Whiskey making and selling should
be stopped in South Carolina and
over the country at large, but under
the existing law and the practice OF
some judges in imposing fines instead
of imprisonment, it will not be an
easy matter to suppress whiskey max
ing and selling. Take the option out
of the hands of the judges and make
the penalty Imprisonment. Then we
will see a considerable decrease in
the violations Of the prohibition law.
Must Hold Labor.
Under present conditions it will
not be an easy matter to grow cotton
p ,oftably. But in revising u plans
and methods of farming we must not
swing too far in the other direction.
1t is true that in the past the average
farmer has given too much attention
to producing cotton to the neglect OF
other crops. However, the South must
continue to grow some cotton in spite
of the boil weevil. If the cotton acre
age be too greatly reduced much la
Dor which has been employed on the
farms will be forced to move away,
and as farm labor becomes %scarce}our
lands will decrease in value. Further
more, once this labor leaves the farm
it will be practically impossible to in
duce it to return.
While farmers must now turn
largely to stock raising and other
forms of Investigation, yet some cot
ton, say from four to six acres to the
pillow, owing to the character of the
land, should be planted. With the
greatly curtailed yield of cotton in
the South, the staple, especially when
normal conditions have been restored
abroad, will command a profitable
price. In entering upon this new era
of farming, we must have an eye to
holding the labor upon the farms. I'm
less we do, Southern agriculture will
suffer an irreparable loss .
