DOG TAX LAW j. +
= BEGINS VIOLATED

County Treasurer r. B. Cheatham
says that the sale of dog tax license
tags is not showing the proper spirit.
Collections of this kind Of tax does
liot show as much progress as-is the
case with the other PROPERTY taxes,
according to the treasurer, this be-
ing especially noticeable in the Alb
beville school district, which is said
to be most in need of money from
this source. All the dog tax money,
with the exception of Is cents, goes
to the school district in which the
dog owner lives, even though the
dog may spend most of his time
chasing cats in another district.
School trustees in some instances
have made out lists of dog owners
in their districts and turned them
over to the treasurer. When the
time is up and the penalty is to be
applied, the treasurer will check up
and those on the list will find them
selves with dogs that will cost them
more than they would sell for. In
other words the overhead charges on
hunting will go up along about the
first of April.
It is likely that in Abbeville dis
trict there are more dogs than in
any other district in the county, and
a smaller proportion of these dogs
wear necklaces than in any other
district. It'll he a dog7gone shame if
they don't put on collars right
away, the treasurer thinks.

FARMERS WANT
DEMONSTRATOR

Following the meeting in the Court
House this morning to discdss Co.
operative Marketing of cotton, res
olution was-effered by w. P. Greene
to request the county delegation in
the legislature to appropriate $3.50
to supplement money provided by the
state and federal governments, to
employ a demonstration agent for
Abbeville County. The resolution was
indorsed by a rising vote, 26 to 2, af-
ter a short discussion.
P. A. Cheatham said he favored
the employment of the agent but
thought that one could be secured
for $500, the amount provided by
Clemson College and the United
States department of agriculture
Mr.. Greene said sthat he thought it
would be useless to have an agent ii
he could not be a good one. He said
that the work and the government
required that he have car, which
would eat up $3.50 year. He said
that if there ever was a time when
such a man was needed it was now
lie repeated in this instance the
words j. s. Stark used in bringing
he subject before the meeting. S
Wakefield approved the idea, say
:; that it was his opinion that &
good man could not be had for less
than s2750 a year. Capt. Nickle:
also favored the idea. =.
The motion was then put and il
vas carried. p r,~ -. -.

ELECTRIC LINES
At STANDSTlL
NO NIGHT SERVICE IN VIR-
GINIA ClTIES-ONLY ONE
MAN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
COME FROM RANKS OF "oUT-
SIDERS"

:, Richmond, Va, Jan 17-Complete
tieup of the electric Hines of the Vir-
ginia Railway and Power company
in Richmond, Norfolk and Ports
mouth resulted tonight at 1880
O'Clock when the last car running
overrthe lines in this city was taken
into the barns. Service in Norfolk
and Portsmouth ceased ats o'clock
this afternoon. The strike was the
result of the company's employees in
the three cities declining to accept a
reduction in wages. -.
Three lines were operated. by the
company here today, the South Rich
mond line consisting of only one
car. A ten minutes schedule was
operated on other. lines, according to
statements by the power company
officials. - :.
Instructions sent out from head
quarters of the men Sunday night
that the union workers do nothing
to incite criticism from the public
were observed, according to union
officials, and no disturbance on the
part of the union occurred at any of
the terminals. The only arrest of
the day resulted when Outsiders"
jeered the crew of one of IL cars
operated by the company here to-
day. Three of these 'sympathizers"
were taken into custody and .bailed
for their appearance in police court
tomorrow. : ~
The first day of the strike found
three of the four lines operating in
Virginia practically at standstill.
A few cars were run in Richmond,
Norfolk and Portsmouth but the SER
vice was so far below normal that.it
hardly was noticeable. There was no
curtailment in Petersburg, the work
ers there declining to leave their
posts.
While Richmond was facing its
first street car strike since 1903 the
city council was holding a meeting
to bring about a settlement of the
controversy. A joint session of the
Soard of aldermen and the common
council took place in the city hall at
noon today.

that he will be in the race. Hubert

COOPERATIVE IDEA ...
~::.. MUCH DISCUSSED
FARMERS OF COUNTY ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING IN COURT
HOUSE AND HEAR MR. WATKINS EXPLAIN COTTON MAR
KETNG PLAN-cAPT. G. NJ NckLEs is ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF COUNTY BRANCH,

Watkins said that the states quota
is 400, 900 bales, based on the 1920
crop, but that as much would be
signed up as possible. fbe plan
does not go into, effect until the full
quota, is signed up and the organi-
zation, committee now at work will
pass out Of existence ON May L.
About 100000 bales have been sign
ed up in South Carolina already.
Texas, Oklahoma, North Carolina
and Arkansas have already signed
up more than their quota and are
still going strong, Mr. Watkins said.
"The farmer signs up all the cot
ton he grows and all .that he re-
ceives as rent. The contract is based
EN- South Carolina law that has been
tested in the supreme court, and the
contract once signed is absolutely
binding" the speaker explained. He
took up the question of the tenant,
share cropper and lien. The farmer
who signs the contract pledges all
the cotton received as3rent.. He can
not require his :, tenant, to sell
through him. The share. cropper can
sell his share whenever he pleases
but the landlord must sell his
share through the association. :.
The marketing contract does not
prevent man giving a lien on his
crop, but rather makes it easier to
get money on lien. If the farmer
has already signed lien then he
will not be required. to deliver this
years crop. Later if he wants to
make lien he notifies the assoeia-
headquarters and that organization
accepts the farmers' cotton for sale
and satisfies the mortgage out of
the first proceeds. The mortgage
holder has assurance then that the
cotton is safely stored and that he
can collect,
Mr. Watkins explained an inter-
esting point when he said that the
farmer who delivered cotton to the
association would get the. same
average price as every other farmer
delivering cotton of the same grade.
The pooling/featur he said, meant
the most careful selling and the
most certain retlr Settlement is
made on cotton delivered as rapidly
as sold, or as soon as a pool is
closed. -. <...-
The farmer, who signs contract
may get the loan yalue, of his cot
ton whenever he delivers it to the
association. He takes his association
! receipt to his bank and draws Z
draft. on the association and The
money is paid. The loan value is
based on the market price at the

Capt. G. N. Nickles of Due West
was today elected president of the
Abbeville County branch Of the
South Carolina Cooperative Cotton
Marketing Association, with c d
Pennal as secretary. Capt sNickles
preaided at the meeting. F c Wat
kins of Clemson College spoke on
the Cooperative marketing plan,
there being about rs farmers pres
ent. A resolution was adopted call
ing upon the county delegation to
provide an appropriation Of $1,250
to supplement government money to
pay a county demonstration agent.
The meeting this morning was
called by J. F. Hill, county director,
and Representatives were present
from practically every district in the
county. On motion of ]. S. Stark,
Captain Nickles was unanimously
elected president. He thanked = the
audience for the honor, saying that
while he had not made a brilliant
success /of the county branch of the
American Cotton Association, he
would do his best in the interests of
the marketing campaign. Mr. Pennal
was electad secretary on motion of
Mr. Stark, member of organization
committee in this county.
The farmers present showed much
interest in the talk of Mr. Watkins,
interrupting him sfrequentlys with
pointed questions to brina out
salient points, No. opposition was
:openly offered against the plan Of
the. association and the frank ex-
planation of Mr. Watkins evidently
produced in his hearers a sober
feeling which is likely to produce
favorable results. Several farmers
signed up after the meeting.
Mr.. Watkins in explaining the
cooperative association, said that
the present plan was not a hang
over from any other association. It
is organized and has for it's purpose
the selling of cotton. 'sIt does not
cure the sick or bury the dead" he
said, but means to sen cotton. Vari-
Gus organizations have come and
gone, he explained, and all having
for their purpose the helping of the
tanner. That most of them have
failed is. not the fault always of
the men back of the-ideas, but lack
of'cooperative effort.
Only farmers are eligible for
membership in the association and
the farmers control the organiza-
tion, Mr. Watkins told his hearers.
Nobody is interested but the farmer
and the legal and binding contract
binds only farmers together. Mr.
