HOUND DOGS SAVE MAN FROM
DEATH AT SNAKES FANGS

Cohuta, Ga, May His two
hound dogs saved Mckinley Shuts,
farmer, from death at the fangs of
pair of large copper head snakes
Saturday morning.
Reaching the end of a furrow, Mr..
Shuts left his plow to rest few
moments in the shade of the wood
land that borders the field of M. Z.
Whitman, near this place. His dogs
had been playing around the field as
he worked and followed him.
Seating himself on log, the farm
er began idly poking about the under
brush with pole when suddenly it
was wrenched from his hands and he
was startled by duet of enraged
Kisses almost at his feet.
In trce pair Of snakes, enraged
at the disturbance, glided out of the
grass. The man leaped backward
from his seat, falling at full length
on the ground, dazed by surprise and
the shock of his fall. Before the mad
dened reptiles could reach him the
two dogs rushed into the attack,
growing and swapping at the glid-
ing bodies and diverting their on
slaught.
Regaining possession of himself in a
moment, Mr.. Schults sprang from the
ground and recovered his pole, killing
both of the snakes. Both measure sew
en- feet in length and were we'll devel-
oped.

LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION
CHANGES PLAN
Will Help More Farmers

The South Carolina Cooperative
Livestock Association finds it neces-
sary to change its plan of organiza-
, ton so that the great mass of live
stock men of the state can become
members and be benefited instead Of
a comparatively small number: as
would have been the case under it,
original plan.
In changing to non-stock asso-
citation it feels sure of accomplishing
the good that the association IS being
organized for. With capital stock
organization only those who have
money to tie up in stock at 500 =
share could become members. In that
case the small livestock man who
needs the help of the association most
would have been left out. Its present
plan makes it possible for anyone in
terested in livestock to become a
member and receive the numerous
benefits to be had from cooperative
marketing of livestock
Under its revised plan there is a
$40 membership fee. This entities it's
members to all of it's rights and privi-
leges. There will be a small commits
sion of 3 per cent. deducted from,
each sale. Funds accumulated in this
way will be used for the maintenance
and operation of the association. IF
t the end of the year there is n SIR
plus it will be distributed back to the
members in proportion to the amount
of business done for each during the
year. This places it on a non-protit ba-
sis.
The cooperative marketing of live
stock VIII save the growers consider
able money that has been 20
ing to the commission men. An out
let such as the association purposes
Will get for the farmer the best prices
to be had. Information furnished in
regard to all phases of the livestock
industry will be of great value. The
assistance of the association will
stabilize the growing and marketing
OF livestock and place it on sound
BUSINESS basis. The success of anv
ouslhess is based on it's marketing
and bits producing end. The South
JaiBlina cooperative Livestock AS
oc Ption with it's main offices at Beau
OF 3: q. will be in a position 10, give
this service to the livestock producers
of this state.
