plans We're being perfected to honor
the Confederate veterans at the State

love so well. "This is duty that the
State owes her valiant heroes" said
Mr.. Cooper "and it willbe distinct

every Confederate veteran will honor

A Tri-ToWn Fair.

a citizen suggests that Oconee
county should have county fair that
will represent the entire county and
not any certain part Of the county,
and about the only way to do that
properly Is to have a COUNTY FAIR
that rotates each year to a different
town. Space for exhibits will be pro-
vided under q spacious tent, which
tent will be owned Jointly by the
three towns-Seneca, Walhalla and
Westminster. Prizes and other ne
cessties will be obtained Jointly each
year from all three Of the towns
Since Oconee seems yet like "all
Gaul-divided into three parts
this suggestion of a rotating tent and
Il rotating fair seems the fairest idea
that an unprejudiced mind could en-
tertain toward q solution Of the place
10 hold fair.
It is the only fair proposition for
q countrywide fair that has been put
forward, in the opinion Of the wrietr.
| Let us hear from those who are
Interested. What do YOU think
about The matter? DO You want a
meeting in your town to discuss 1t
and ACT UPON this suggestion? 1t
Is lmost too late to act this year, but
NOT TOO ATE for concerted action.
In the first place, If one town pre-
pared for the fair alone there would
not be near the interest taken over

Order Seed for Pastures.

At several pasture field meetings
last week there was shown great in
tcrest in pasture building. NOW is
THE TIME TO start pasture building
and NOT AFTER loading up on more
stock than can be economically fed.
S. l.. Jeffords, pasture specialist,
with us last week advises that good
pastures may be DNilt up on bottom
land ana good uplands wherc the fol
lowin!; mjNturc is sown this fall:
Six pounds Dalis grass, six pounds
red-top or Herds grass and two
pounds white Dutch clover per aero,
sown during the middle to last of
September. Prepare tho soil by run
ming over with disc harrow. Sow
each of the grasses and clovers sep
arately, then roll with packing cul-
tivator or log roller, If the soil is
very loose. roll before and after SOW
ing the seed. Save half the Dallis
grass seed for spring sowing, scatter
ing it over the other mixture in the
spring. along with ten pounds Of Les
pedeza or Japan clover In the spring.
On medium or poor uplands only
Bermuda and Lespedeza, with a little
white Dutch clover, is recommended.
Seed are being ordered now for
some pasture demonstrations through
local dealer, and few others may
be included in the order If notified at
once. At last quotations it Is esti-
mated that seeds will cost about
$3.50 an acre. All the grasses and
clovers re-seed, and it will not be
necessary to order again nor will 1t
be necessary to keep the cattle off
these grasses after sowing.
Some lime and acid phosphate may
be tried as a fertilizer, separately.

the county at large that would be
taken If it were known that all the
towns were pulling together for a
real county fair. &
Then, In the second place, IL would
fall heavily upon one town to finance
a fair every year all by itself.
Then, In the third place, tri-town
association would assure the people
that the fair would function for at
least three years, and each town
could strive to make the fair better
each year.
Let your views be known at once,
especially the business men Of the
three towns, for there mus bc con

The Doors Arc Omen.

The South Carolina Cotton Grow
ers' Cooperative Association have
been welcoming new members this
month and must soon close the books
for the beginning Of business this
| fall.
Many heard DR.. Clarence Poe, edi-
tor ofthe Progressive Farmer, speak
at Seneca short time ago. DR.. Poo
convinced many that cooperative
marketing Of cotton, as we'll as other
farm products, was the right way to
do It. Many people WISH for better
cotton prices, but it takes more than
wishbone to bring them about. 1t
takes lots Of BACKBONE and JAW
BONE" he said. Those who do not
Join the association now, but simply

are comparable to the Stacker who
would let others fight for his country
and then be on hand to enjoy the
blessings Of peace without having
earned them, according to DR.. Poe.
Nine Southern States will market
this fall through their cooperative
associations good part of the cot
ton crop The Tri-State Tobacco
Growers Association is now market
ing tobacco comparatively in this
State, North Carolina and Virginia.
The growers rushed in to sign cou-
tracts during a ''let-in" period, ac-
cording to last weeks Progressive
FARMER. The association is giving
The farmer a far better deal on to-
bacco, and we believe it will do the
same for the cotton farmer.
There's an opportunity to join your
fellow-farme now and sell WITH
him and not AGAINST him. Get a
cnotract and sign it.

Tours of LcSumc Demonstration

On farms will start from South Un-
ion school house on Wednesday morn
ing, Sept. 9th, at 8 o'clock, and from
keowee school house on "Wednesday
afternoon at $40 o'clock. These farm
tours will show clearly some Of the
soil-buildng methods as followed
under actual field conditions in our
own county, and should prove Of
great value 10 all who witness tho
demonstrations.
Oconcc County Is Fortuntc
in securing Mr.. Winters this fall, as
he will only be able to visit about
half the counties Of the State before
his departure in October for Cornell
University. Persons from all parts Of
the county should plan to hear him.
Those who have already heard him
will be there to hear him again, for
in addition 20 his regular talk he has
other facts Of great interest at this
time
At these meetings 1T Is planned to
group orders for vetch and clover
seed so that the best prices obtain
ablc may be received, At present
vetch and clover are considerably
higher than last year, many quota
tions Of vetch seed being from / 6 to
20 cents fob. other cities. There
seems little likelihood that vetch
prices will come down, as the Rus
slams are reported to be eating their
vetch seed and Russia is the great
source Of these seed.

NEW SMALL CLAIMS
COURT AT WORK

Another inovation in the way of
dispensing justice went into effect
on january list. The last legisla
ture provided for the establish
ment Of courts of small claims.
which will enable the people to
collect small amounts without the
fuss Of an ordinary law suit. We
understand that the Justice courts
of Philip have already started sew
eral actions under the new law,
and that the mill works very
smoothly.
The law does away with the ex-
pense of attorney fees, and pro-
vides that the creditor may person
ally file his claim with justice
of the peace or with the clerk IF
courts on payment of fee Of one
dollar. Summons is served on the
debtor by registered. mail, and on
sufficient evidence judgment is
rendered in the higher courts. This
will speed up this kind of itiga-
ton, and will have the tendency
to relieve the regular circuit court
calendar Of many such cases. The
defendant may maintain his rights
By being allowed to file counter
claim if he has one, and the two
cases may be heard at one and
| the same time and by the same
judge. Those who are in a position
to forecast the results of such a
proceeding believe that it will
strike popular chord when the
people get to know its workings.
in that it will save lot of time
and also the necessary delays and
costs Of other courts. The new act
limits amounts which may be sued
for in the new process to $50.

PROPOSAL MEN COST $4,000

Although S. proposalmen who
attended the state proposal meet
ing at Pierre on December s nave
not filed their vouchers for mile
age those who have filed these
vouchers ask the state for S.. $500
The total cost to the state for
mileage alone for these PROPOSAL
men to come to the capitol will
be over $4,000 and had each party
been represented by af ull delega-
ton from each county in the state
the total cost would have gone
considerably over this amount.
The republican party was pretty
fully represented but there were
many vacancies in both the demo
cratic and non-patisan ranks.

amounts to S18. ranging all thu
