The Commissioners OF Public
Works (water and sewerage) last
Friday at noon.let contracts for the
EeeHstruc ton OF the complete. water
and sewerage plant for the town OF
Walhalla. The figures at which the
various sections Of the work were bid
in were considered very satisfactory

Pump and hose house. 1900 90
All bids for pumps were rejected,
owing TO technical defect in bids sub
mitted. The figure representing this
item, however, was $4,660.0O, and
figuring this amount as the proba BILE
amount when the bid for this work
shall be let, the total amount OF the

A delay In the work may be occa-
stoned by reason Of the fact that GER
tain rights-of-way to >the water sup
Dly which tho Commissioners an r.
cipated no trouble in obtaining, will
probably have to be obtained through

Hit tho Line Hard, Boys!

Oconee county is moving along
we'll toward her goal in the cotton
cooperative marketing campaign,
but every nerve and energy OF the
signcrs all over the county must be
used in the last few remaining days
or April to put her across to victory.
All Signers to tho contract are here
by declared fullnedged committee
men, whose business it is during
these last few days OF April to PUT
OCONEE ACROSS IN CIR e A T
STYLE. This is no place for tender
foots. 1t is no place for slackcrs. 1t
is CALL TO MEN TO DO THEIR
DUTY by their families, their fellow
man and their country. Will they
measure UP to their duty? We BE-
LlEVE they WILL.
About Ten Days Remain.
Let the fact settle in your brain
that the time has come when there
can be no more WAITING. OPPOR-
TUNITY Is knocking for THE LAST
TIME. Will your county and State
take her rightful place alongside the
seven great cotton-producing States
which have taken their stand for CO.
operative marketing? 1T DEPENDS
ON YOU.
We Can Get Results, Too.
Georgia signed up approximately
207, 900 bales in the last three weeks
'of the Georgia campaign. If those
Georgians can do that, why can't we
South Carolinians? Let lis show them
that we can.
Up until April 18th four leading
South Carolina counties had signed
up $4,000 bales. II they can sign up
nearly one-fourth Of the States quota
what should the other counties do?
Every cotton-producing county of the
State practically is pushing ahead at
top speed. On April 18th six coun-
ties were over the top and still 60
Ing onward to greater victory. Sew
eral more had almost reached their
quota.
Every thoughtful citizen should
consider that tho time has arrived
for action with his fellow-man. Every
red-blooded man Is needed in this
battle for rights and square dealing.
WHICH SIDE WILL YOU LINE UP
WITH? See a signer NOW-get a
contract and DO YOUR DUTY.

Other Oconcc Farmers Who Have
S,iGnCN the EOntraCt


AS the time for the end Of the
campaign approaches many moro
farmers are putting their names on
the dotted line. The thinking farmer
realizes that the present system Of
selling cotton is as out Of date as the
use Of candles for lighting the home.
He also realizes that the cooperative
plan is TIDE ONLY PLAN that has
brought success wherever tried. A
legally binding contract, covering a
period Of yeaSs, operated on an ab-
solute business basis, is the ONLY
WAY TO GET RESULTS. The farms

the new plan, believe in it and have
