MI. Canaan Association. Pass
es Resolutions. s 9

We read in Ephesians S chapter,
16 verse 'R Redeenning the time be-
cause the days are evil" We view
with all. n the great migration Of
our people from the farms to the
cities and towns, especially the
Northern cities and towns. Unless
we continue to cultivate the land
and make it bring forth its fruits
for our sustenance and comfort we
must suffer and slip backward. We
.deplore this unrest and discourage
ment among our people. We, the
Ministers, Teachers and Deacons of
this associations desire to put our
selves on record as bitterly opposing
this migration. i
Resolved first, We will begin vig-
.orous campaign in our field Of labor
and communities against this mi
grafton from the farm. We pledge
ourselves to do all in our poWer TO
quiet and enc courage our pc ople to
stay on the farm.
Second, W. appeal GLAND owners
and merchants and the business men
to help us to stay this movement for
we know all will suffer if this move
mentis hot stopped.
Third, We look with alarm upon
the many hundred uncultivated
farms and the deserted churches in
our territory. We believe these con-
ditions can be changed if we all will
work and cooperate together and set
tie this unrest and save the farm and
the farmers.
Fourth. We appreciate the fact
that the land owners the merchant,
the business man and the tiller Of the
soil have all been tried by these evil
times, but we must cooperate and
work faithfully together for the
building of the Kingdom Of our
Christ and the development of our

After enjoying cony ersation for a

the crowd over sixteen-in feelings,

of glee proved that the young folks
and "young old folks" were having
the time of their lives.
Delicious ice cream and pound

The Advertisers Course Commended.
The editor Of The Advertiser has
been very generally commended for
returning the soft answer" last week
I. to Mr.. w G. QUITS TRADE upon the
editors of the local papers, instead of
1 bringing so grave matter to the low
plane Of personal abuse, thus becloud-
ing and detracring from the issue.
We severely condemned Mr.. QUITS
and Mr.. Watson for becoming so afil-
lated and allied with Joe Tolbert and
his crowd as to be included in the off
cial list cf delegates to the Republican
cony yention, and Mr.. QUITS had the Sop-
portunity last week of explaining his
connection with the matter to the sat
ssfaction Of our people, had he such an
explanation, but instead of pulling him
self out of the hole in which he alone
thrust himself he made bad matters
worse. Mr.. QUITS and Mr.. Watson
were offended with the newspapers for
giving publicity to the matter when, as
a, matter Of fact, the offense, if any
were committed, was committed by the
person who placed their names on the
original official list Of the convention as
published in The State, we mean the
one which was declared official before
the list Of delegates was juggled with:
One man said to us, IF my name had
been put on a list Of. delegates to q Re
publican convention, would shouldera
shotgun and hunt up the man who put
it there Nobody has yet heard Of
I Mr. QUITS or Mr.. Watson shouldering a
shotgun and hunting for the person
i.,ho put their names on the list of del
egates to Tolbert's convention.
Let Wiley QUITS and Alex Watson,
and every ..other wavering Democrat.
know, here and now, once and for all,
that they cannot stand in with Toll

Determined. to Establish
Creamery.

-
The mass meetfng which was held
IN the court house Monday night
looking to the establishment Of a
creamery in Edgefeld was well at
tended, Ropers, Trenton and other
/ out Of town communities being rep
resented. There was general discus
sion, both pro and con, but the over
Whelming preponderance of senti-
ment was in favor Of establishing a
creamery at Edgefeld. 1t will supply
a need in this crisis that nothing.
else can or viii supply. Mr.. Cushman,
Clemson's representative, whose ad-
dress, by the way, was somewhat of
"a Disappointment to many present,
rather discouraged the enterprise.
! Mr. Hazel, the proprietor Of the
Batesburg creamery, was present and
Of course favo1s the shipping lof
cream by the farmers of this county
to his creamery, but the fact that he
is now making a success Of his enter
prise indicates that like success
can be made at Edgefeld Mr.. Bal
slentine, the manager of the Bank Of
Western Carolina at Batesburg, was
present and his practical, to-the-
point remarks were encouraging,
showing what. benefit to the farmers
of that section the Batesburg cream
cry has been. One established at
Edgedeld will be of as great benefit,
or even more, to the farmers Of our
county.
Mr.. Hazel stated that a creamery
will be operated at a loss unless it
receives sufficient cream to make l.
1000 pounds Of butter per week. He
has steadily increased the volume Of
his business to that quantity < He
stated shat Mr.. II. 81. Sanders Of our
county is his largest regular shipper
of cream.
3 Mr.. B. 4. Lanham was present
Monday night but did not. partake in
the discussion, but he told The Adj
vertiser's representative Tuesday
that he had made a careful estimate
and found that the farmers Of
Horns Greek and Ropers, in the ag-
gregate, carry 500 pounds Of butter
to Augusta every week, distance Of
from II to 90 miles. So it becomes
evident that if this cream could be
diverted to an Edgefeld creamery,
which would have to be transported
a distance Of only from s to 9 miles,
Edgefeld could begin, including Mr..
is Sanders and the cream shipped from
Trenton, with almost as much as Mr..
Hazel is now receiving at Batesburg

On Saturday

Although beaten in Railway Sat
urday, the Perth Amboy High
School gridiron representatives con-
tinued a real exhibition of gameness
similar to that which has featured
the work of Coach Waddell's CO.
horts in all games this fall.
Minus the services of seve,a al real
men and with others suffering frtr
injuries, let alone the experience and
excessive weight of their opponents,
the visiting eleven put up a great
battle. Considering what Amboy
deserves for its showing. no credit
can be taken away from the great
Railway team.
In Saturdays contest Amboy
made thirteen downs to eight for
the home team. One Of The real
features of the Railway play was the
work of Ferguson, the coiored youth
who booted the ball sixty yards. He
is considered one of the best kickers
in Central Jersey. For Amboy
Rasmussen again was a shining light
while Carbon and Larson played
UP to their usual standard The
showing Of Bohnsack, an inexperi-
enced lad, surprised Coach Wad-
dell.
A sample of the spirit which goes
marching on at the State street in
stitution was shown by Boots" Co.
hen, who played although suffering
from torn ligaments in his toes. He
had to be relieved after tie first
period.
Due to the fact that a number of
men were bunged up Saturday,
Coach Waddell has decided to let
the backfeld men rest till tom orrow
while the remaining players will re-
sumo work today.
