EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
RESC|NDS FORMER ACTION

At the regular meeting of the exc
cutive committee held on July. 2Sth.,
it was resolved to place in the coming
primary the Offices of rural police,
farm demonstration agent, home dem
onstration agent and community
nurse. This action was taken solely
to get an expression of the people.
On yesterday the committee met
again and at this meeting there were
several present to defend these diff
ferent Offices and keep them out of
the primary. Among the speakers
was DR.. w. w. Long, who is at the
head of the Extension work, Mr.. P.
3. Young Of Florence, district agent,
Mrs. Oliver Plowden district agent
for home demonstration work, and
Hon. Charlton DuRant. Each speaker
presented their side of the work to
the committee and Mr.. DuRant put in
a plea for all of the offices. At the
conclusion of the talks several of the
committee, including the one commit
teewoman, Miss Barfield made short
talks in behalf of the offices affected.
Mr.. e. D. Hodge then moved to re-
scind the former action of the COM
mittee, and Mr.. Applet moved to table
Mr.. Hodges motion. The motion to
table did not receive second, but to
rescind did. Mr.. Hodges motion was
then put before the committee and
was carried overwhelmingly. So
these Offices will not be put before
the people in the primary.

farm products that can be raised here
and marketed with better and surcr
profit than our farmers have ever
known with cotton.
The problem, as I see it, Mr. Editor,
is not with the county, nor the soil,
nor the kind of weather we have been
having. The real difficulty is in the
uncertainty with which the farmers
look toward the future without rca-
sonable hope for better times and sur
cr crops.
They say that wise man learns by
some one else's experiences fool by
his own. Must our farmers laborous-
ly and almost hopclesly stumble along
for years until by chance they find
just the thing they are looking for
while within few score or few hund-
red of miles of where we live are far
mers finding the best living they ever
had on the farm; farmers who have
no worry whatever about the boil
Wecvil; who are no more concerned
about him than you arc about the i'm
port duty on putty in China? 1t does
not seem sensible to lie down here and
suffer when there is Sure way out.
II you were talking to me you'd
ask what | was driving at. Well just
this. l.believc that there is way to
let all the farmers in Clarendon Coun
ty know what they should do to get
ready to make money next year. If
they could go, all go down to say for
example, Blackshear, Ga, and ask
those prosperous farmers how they
did it every one of our farmers would
come back with new hope and new
determination for next years work.
You say it is impossible for every
farmer in Clarendon County to 20
down to Blackshear, Ga, or Prosper
ity, Ala. They are all about broke
now. Well I know that but what do
you think of this idea.
What fould you think Of having the
farmers of Clarendon County elect a
dozen of our best farmers and bust
ness men to go down there or any
other place where they can get the
real dope, and bring it back and tell
US all what to do. Why not send rep
resentatives from every part of the
county and let every one who can
chip in and pay their expenses. 1t
would be a mighty good investment.
Surely there are hundreds who would
be glad to contribute small amount
and just small amount from MANY
would do the trick. Suppose you ask
them about it. / believe that we all
have enough at stake to make some
sort of effort worth while
Sincerely yours,
A. l.. Luce

PUT UP OR SHUT UP

10 The Citizens Of Clarendon County
1t has been brought to my atten-
ton that numerous reports of inefi-
cheney and official misconduct on the
part of the members of the Rural
Police force are being circulated in
the County. If these reports are true,
the guilty officers should be indicted
if they are not true they should be ex--
hOnorated
If these charges are true, there
must be a number Of citizens in this
County you can give sufficient evil
dence to warrant an indictment or an
Now, as foreman of the Grand Jury,
! ask every one of you, if you have
sufficient evidence to warra 1T an in
vestigation of the conduct of any one
OF these officers, bring it to me and
! promise you thorough investiga-
tion and an indictment if the evidence
will warrant it. If you have no evi-
dence yourself, but you hear some one
state as a fact that any of these Of
ticers are guilty of official miscon-
durt, send me his name and will see
that he has an opportunity to present
his facts to the Grand jury
What l have said in regard to the
Rural Police, applies also to all law
breakers in the County.
Yours very truly,

Mr.. Clarence Baggett now of Ay-
don, N. c., was visitor here last
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
last week. The progressive spirit of
the community in which he is lving
is shown in the news he brings of a
trip which was undertaken by twenty
four of the leading business men and
farmers of the community. Not long
ago the party started out to make a
tour of the boil wecvil infested area
in the south determined to learn by
some one else's experience and not
their own regarding the best method
of farming under the new conditions.
The, crowd of twenty-four men had in
their itinerary the states of North
and South Carolina, Tennessee, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas.
If such trip had been made by our
own farmers and business men two
years ago much of the present finan-
cial distress of Clarendon County
would not have been in evidence.

Progress Is Reported
PASSENGERS ARE MOVING
Perishable Freight and Livestock Ac.
cepted for Shipment

San francisco, Aug. 15.-The
Southern Pacific Company lifted it's
embargo late today on the shipment
of perishable freight and livestock,
which was declared on account of a
strike Of train crews at Roseville, Cal.
An agreement was reached, by which
the crews of the big four rail bro
therhoods returned to work.
Railroads IN the Southwest report
cd progress in the movement of trains
and in conferences with members of
the big four brotherhoods Of train
men in inducing them to resume work.
Trains were stopped on some roads
last Thursday when brotherhood men
claimed they were endangered by
guards placed to- protect property, be-
cause of the shepmen's strike and de-
fective equipment.
The Southern Pacific Companf sue
reeded in getting it's trainmen at
Roscvillc and Traly, Cal, two impor-
tant points in the movement of
freight and passengers, to return to
work.
Resrmc Picking of Fruit
Shippers and growers of fruit IN
Central California Immediately re-
sumed pidking of fruit and the
iced cars at Rosevile began to
move.
Oregon shippers also were advised
to resume picking fruit. The Santa
te sent two trains from Los Angeles
one to Barstow, Cal, and the other
! towards Chicago. Both trains were
crowded with passengers The train
that left Los Angeles yesterday for
Chicago, reached Gallup, New liz xico
today with regular crew of entine-
men. Santa Fc passenger trains
were moved to New Mexico and .Ari-
zona, but no attempt was made to
move freight trains.
The Western Pacific announced
progress in its conference with train
men and expected to start an overland
train eastward tomorrow. No trains
have moved on the Western Pacific
for three days.
Continue to BE Tied Up
The Union Pacifc's line from Salt
Lake City to Los Angeles continued
to be tied up as to movement Of
trains. Locomotives were started
for Los Vegas, Nevada, to move
freight, and if this is successful
passenger trains will be started.
The conference of State police Of
Nevada which left Reno overland
for Las Vegas yesterday has not
arrived, the auto truck train being
delayed with it's machine guns by
bad roads. Until the State police
arrive special police from among
the trikers will preserve order at
Las Vegas.
No action has been taken in West
ern State late today on the tele-
gram that Warren S. Stone, prcsi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, sent notifying men,
bers of the union who walked out
without authorization to return to
work. None Of the officials of the
local unions would admit having re.
celved such instructions.

MOE AND iZzY IN RAID
Get 80 Barrels of Alcohol and Three
Stills.

New York, July 7.-Moe and Izzy
armed with serch warrants, descend
ed early yesterday on the Florasynth
Laboratories at Olmstaed and Startling
avenues, The Bronx, just in the rear
OF the New York Catholic Protectory.
For three nights they had peered
through windows from the tops OF
stepladders. They seized twenty-five
barrels of redistilled denatured al
cohol, twenty-eight five gallon cans
OF the same and seventeen barrels of
the denatured alcohol which had not
been put into the three 100 gallon
stills.
Moe and lzzy were sent to The
Bronx Monday by John M. Parsons.
chief prohibition officer for the state.
They found the laboratories, but there
was nobody at home Moe discovered
q ladder and aided lzzy in mounting
the rungs until he got his chin above
the window ledge. There was light
inside, and by 1t Icy had no difficulty
In making out the three stills. There
was nothing to do but wait until some
body came along and claimed owner
ship OF the stills.
All Monday night they waited and
again on Tuesday and on Wednesday.
1t was not until early yesterday that
Charles Hanson came and said he
was the chief chemist of the labora-
tories and that he was redistilling the
denatured alcohol under orders from
the officers OF his company. He showed
Izzy a letterhead on which appeared
the names Lewis A. Rosset. designated
as president; Charles s. Senior as vice.
president and Alexander Katz as sec
retary and treasurer. They were sum
moned, with Hanson, to appear before
Commissioner Hitchcock on Monday.
