Rock Hill, June 26.-The South car
olina Cooperative Marketing associa-
tion is now planning to perfect its Or
ganization, according to DR.. j. B. john
son of Rock Hill, director of the state
association a for Rock Hill district A
meeting of the state directors will be
held in Columbia on Wednesday, at
which time the matter Of electing the
principal officers for the association
will be taken into consideration. 1t
is proposed to elect president, gener-
al manager, treasurer and field agent.
The organization will be built around
these four officers, according to DR..
Johnson. The four officers will be
high. salaried men. The cooperative
association feels that it wants no
principal officers except men VINO on
account of their competency and fit
ness can command salaries of from
100000 to $4,000. Already there have
been a number Of men seeking the
p1 .ncipal offices; but according to d.
rector Johnson, those who have beer
seeking place so far are not the type
of men to whom the directors would
feel warranted in intrusting the busl-
ness of the association. The directors
propose to go rather slow in employ
ing the men who will have in charge
the active management Of the Coop
erative Marketing association. The
directors realize that the success or
failure of the mammoth cotton sales
agency which hundreds Of farmers
over the state, including many of York
county. have entered into, depends
largely on the men to be elected to the
principal offices by the directors. The
directors have their eyes on number
of big cotton men now with private
concerns with view to getting them
to take charge of the Cooperative Mar
keting association. They realize that
to get these men they are going TO
have to offer big salaries. They don't
mind that, however. What they want
is the best and most experienced men
for president, general manager, treas
urer. and field agent. The salaries are
of no moment, since the Cooperative
Marketing association is expected to be
the biggest business project in the
state of South Carolina.
Camping Out.
Assistant Secretary Warwick of the
Rock Hill Y. NJ. c. A., is hitting blow
at the Rock Hill rent hogs by living in
tent. People travelling between
Yorkville and Rock Hill, have proba-
bly, noticed a family living in a large
tent in the pasture near Setzer's store
on the western outskirts of Rock Hill.
That is Mr.. Warwick and his family.
According to a Rock Hill man who was
telling the correspondent about it Sat
urday, Mr.. Warwick and his family
were unable to rent Il two-roOm apart
ment in the city for less than $50 a
month. Considering that figure too
high, they decided to live in n tent
during the summer anyhow, and that
they are doing. 1t is much cooler in
the first place and the Y. NJ. c. a. man
and his family enjoy living out in the
open. Tired Of paying excessive rents,
| it is likely that other Rock Hill people
will follow Mr.. Warwick's example.
Exhibits for the Fair.
81 hope" said Secretary Fcwcll of
the York County Fair association, the
other .day, that farmers over the
county, will think to save unusually
good shocks of wheat and oats for dis
play at the York county fair this fall.
The way to do it is to save the shocks
after they are cut and tied by putting
them in some safe place where they
are safe from rats and mice. Hereto
fore the fair has been short on eXhib-
its Of this kind, because the farmers
have not taken the precaution to care
for them. I am hopeful that they will
keep it in mind"
