Mr.. Arthur S. Brunson, Jr., has &C

Mr.. Arthur S. Brunson, Jr., has ac-
copied a position as n of the at
taches of the peritentiary in Colum-
bia. This position pays a much better
salary than he could get in or around
Edgefeld. Great is the pity that so
many of our young men have to leave
home to secure employment.
Rev. G. W. M. Taylor is the "earli-
est bird" of the community in the
matter of planting Irish potatoes. He
has already planted his family
patch" and in a short time he and
MIR. Hugh Nicholson will jointly
plant about 20 acres. Mr.. Taylor has
always resided, prior to coming to
Edgefeld, on the east coast Of Vir-
GINA, where Irish potatoes were
grown in great quantities for market,
and consequently he is an expert
whose experience is proving at this
iuncture to be of great benefit to
our people.

House Endorses Marketing
Plan.

Cooperative marketing of cotton
was strongly Endorsed in a resolu-
ton passed by the house of repre-
sentatives yesterday and every farm
err in the state was urged to sign the
contract. The extension forces of
Clemson college were urged to con-
tinue to lend their full cooperation
and assistance in the movement as
were the bankers, merchants and
business men of the state.
The text of the resolution, which
was introduced by Representatives
Jackson, Harris, Mckay and Wind
ham, as follows: =
"Whereas, a campaign is now be-
ing conducted in the state of South
Carolina for the formation of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers Co.
operative association to be composed
of South Carolina cotton growers,
landlords and tenants and to be
formed for the one specific purpose
of selling their cotton crop coopera-
lively; and
"Whereas, the formation of such a
cooperative marketing association
will tend to eliminate many of the
evils which now surround the market
ing of our principal crop, such as
country damage, undergrading and
dumping of a great portion of the
crop on the market in a few weeks
time and will result in the stabiliz-
ing of the market and insure the far
mer of the fact that his cotton will be
properly warehoused, graded, stapled
and sold at the best possible figure;
Therefore be it resolved, by the
house of representatives, the senate
concurring, That we hereby indorse
most heartily the movement for the
organization of the South Carolina
Cotton Grawers' Cooperative asso-
citation;
"That we urge every farmer to
sign the contract at the earliest pos
sible moment;
"That we urge the bankers, mer-
chants and business men Of the state
to assist in the campaign for the
necessary number of signatures to
make the contract operative; and
"That we urge the extension forces
of Clemson College to continue to
lend their full cooperation and as
sistance in this movement, believing
that they can be of no greater SER
vice to the state at this time than in
the vigorous prosecution of this cam
paign."-The State.

expressing their enjoyment of the
occasion to Mrs. Moore, who was the
lovely hostess, and had made the
evening more enjoyable by her pres
ence and by the taste and skill which
she used in entertaining the youth
of the town.

Will Plant Beans.

Who'll plant beans for market?
The members Of the Edgefield Pro-
duce Exchange are endeavoring to
induce a number of u people to
plant beans for shipping. Up to this
time about Is acres have been pledg-
ed. Experience has proven that beans
prove to be a .surer crop than most
any other Of the truck crops. They
were grown at a profit by Johnston
and Trenton farmers last year and
these same farmers and their neigh
bors will plant more extensively this
year. Anything for profit that will get
us out of the cotton habit.

Officers Elected for Edgefeld
Produce Exchange.

TrOQuC0 HCuduSS
A long step forward in the march
of progress was taken Monday night
when the stockholders of the Edge
field Produce Exchange met in the
office of Collett Drug Company and
formally organized.
The required amount of stock hav-
ing been subscribed and paid for &C
cording to law, election of officers
was taken up with the following re-
suits:
President, S. B. Nicholson; vice
president, w. A. Byrd; secretary
treasurer, W.. A. Collett; general
manager, G. W. NJ. Taylor.
Board of directors includes the
above mentioned officers and R. T.
HILL. W. A. Strom, W. C. Tompkins,
A. H. Corley and j. L. Minis
The Exchange will conduct a gen
eral marketing business, keeping in
touch with markets in the principal
cities and, offering to producers of
the county a ready sale for all crops
of vegetables, fruits. melons, etc.
Through preliminary efforts of the
members of the Exchange, a consid-
cradle acreage will be planted in Irish
potatoes, a car load of seed stock be-
ing now on the road. An active cam
paign will now be started to secure
pledges to plant a certain number of
acres in beans. A committee consist
ing of R. T. Hill, w. C. Tompkins,
and j.. H. Nicholson will press this
matter upon the attention of the far
mers, with information as to the pos
sibilities in this line.
It is believed that this community
now has a splendid opportunity to
reap some of the benefits that have
made truckers rich in other localities,
and certainly we need some relief
from the unhappy conditions under
which all have labored the past two
years. The Exchange is not asking for
anything from the community except
an opportunity to present through its
officers and directors their plans and
methods, and also to point out the
possibilities of splendid profits in
trucking. Beginning in a small way,
the farmer will have something to sell
throughout the year, instead of one
crop, cotton, in the fall, and that very
uncertain. The Produce Exchange Of
fers a market for these crops, some
thing lacking until now, but a real
need, which is now filed.
All the farmers of the county are
invited to call on any of the officers
of the Exchange at any time, and find
out just what is being done.
All officers are to serve without
salary. The objects of the organiza-
ton as set forth in the charter are to
assist the farmer to sell his produce.
The organization will make contracts
for seed and containers such as bar
rels and crates and handle the pro-
duce in car lots. A five per cent com
mission will be charged which is sup
posed to be sufficient to cover the &C
tual expense of marketing the pro-
duce. The organization will keep in
touch with the daily markets and
provide ways and means of shipr &
the produce. 1t is no money making
scheme of the incorporators but rath-
er a sacrificing attempt on the part
of some to lend a helping hand in
these strenuous times. The question
now is, will the farmer make use of
this help and try to produce some
thing that will bring success to this
boil weevil stricken country?

The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Thurmond caused much genu-

out the county, many of them know
ing nothing of her previous illness.
Mrs. Thurmond was n of the pill
lars of Red Oak Grove church, her
faithfulness under all circumstances
being an inspiration to the entire
membership of the church. But it
was in the 'woman's. work of the
church that her zeal, loyalty and lead
ership counted for the most. Seldom
does one find a more devout and more
consecrated Christian that was Mrs.
Thurmond and it was her largeness
of heart, broad sympathy, depth OF
soul and unselfsh service that made
her so greatly revered and so highly
