"Judging .by the attendance on 'this neeting, the farmers are not so con yerned about conditions after all," re narked one farmer vlio attended the necting in the Opera 'House Monday norning called by County Agent Tre vathani. 'When the meeting opened iardly more than a score of men were resent, but a few more dropped in is the meeting progressed. In opening the meeting Mr. Treva 'han read a telegram from 'Mr. 1. W. Dabbs, of iayesville, stating that he was unable to (be present. The Clem 3on college speaker, also advertised to nake an address, failed to show up. Aipologizing for the absence of these ipeakers, 'Mr. Trevatlian gave a brief liscusslon of the proposed marketing issociation fo -r the southern farmers. He said that the farmers of Dennark liad had a marketing system for sov Dral centuries and that during !the p)ast year the farmei * had received 49 1ents of the consumers' dollar and that 80 -1)er cent of thiem had made inoney in 1920. In Oklahoma, where the marketing association was already functioning, he said, the members of bie association had realized about 2 1-2 cents over the market price for their crop. Local buyers there, it had been reported to him, were meeting the -prices paid by the association and all the cotton growers were profilting thereby. A number of questions were asked Mr. Trevathan by his hearers and divergent views were expressed Di the marketing !plan, but no action of any kind wa taken toward forming in oraganization for this county. Keenest interest in the meeting do veloped over the discussion of an ap propriation by the delegation of the legislature for a farm demonstrator next year. Ilr. Tre.vathan stated that the national government and Clemson college had defrayed the entire ex pense of the demonstrator this year and that anl appropriation of $1,500 was ex-pected from the county the coming year, making the total salary for the demonstrator $3,000, this to pay also for automobile and their expense. Mr. Trevathanl stated that .he would not accept the iplace for another year at a smaller salary, as lie felt it his duty to !better himself elsewhere if he could. Mr. Trevathan said that hie wished to have An expression from the farmers on the subject so that the c(unlty delegation would know how to act. A call was made from the audi once for an expression from the dele gation itself. Representative Carroll D. Nance, of 1Cross 1111, was the only member of the delegation present at the time, Sen. Goodwin having atteid ad the first 'part of the meeting and left. Mr. 'Nance left his seat in the rear of the audience and addressed t.110 meeting briefly from beside the chair man. 'ie said that* last year, wion financial conditions appeared so un settled and everybody had already be !!un to feel tile pinch of the low prlice Df cotton, lhe hlad felt thmat a time hmad come ifor retrenchment ill exp~end~iturles and( that he0, with other mlember's of tile delegation, 'had left out tihe appro i~riation for tile coiunty demonstration agent, canning clb wor1k ad 0other such activities, effecting a reducltionl in the applropriation of -approx i-nate ly $6,000. H-owever, 'he said, -he per aonally -believed thalt at tis time, whlen tile coun~ty faced tile necessity f a change iln its methlod of agricull ture, that assistance and leader'sipl l'rom tile extenlsion department at 31emison wvas nleeded If! it were ever seeded at all. IlHe did not care to risk i, decision on the mattel', hlowever, himself, ,buit hie desired to hear tile >pilons oft- tile farmers on tile sub1 oect. 'lie had come to the conlulsionl, though, hie said, that a $i,500 aiNpro priation for tile wvork was too ilberal md that he had consideredl a sum be ween $500 and .$?50 to supplement tile $1,500 supliied by Clemson and t-he ~ederal government. (Hlis views on the~ iluestion seemed to meet with .general ip'mroval in tihe meeting. At is re juest for definite instructions 11ow to Iroceed, a motion was .introduiced to leave the matter with the dlelegation ,vith the understanding. that the appro priation be made ftot more than $750. 'his was discussed at length and final ly a motion was adopted in general :erms leaving the 'matter entirely 'with ~ie delegation. 'No advocates ap peared for a gross salary exceeding }2,25S0.

The semi-annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of Laurens Ceme tery .held last Tuesday, at the I4nter prise National Bank, was particularly interesting and Important. The trustees were much gratified at the condition of the cemetery; the one noticeable defect being the number of individual occupied lots which have not ibeen kept under the care of the executive committee, and consequent. ly in many cases, mar the general ap pearance of the place through contrast #with those lots which are kept at all times neat andl clean. A resolution was adopted to send an individual letter to each lot owner not now subscribing, asking for co operation by paying five dollars oper annum for official care of the lot; this being practicable now to take on this additional work because the executive Vis Ready-to On Our Second Dnf IT S 100 New Serge and ' to Save Yoi CHILDREI Corsets 25 Per Cent WE WIL "TH You Queen Art This ten-piece riod, made in the any is now pricec this suite has co noteworthy value, ished, and will g sists of table, buff No matter hc, on your dining ro thing to please yo S.

Any lot owner can, 'by paying one hundred dollars, insure permanent attention without any a(l ditional subscription. This is made the more easy (and dependable) by the fact that the cemetery association Is a public corporation created by act of the legislature and therefore alto gether responsible. Another resolution especially re qluested Mr. Drayton F. ,Todd to join the executive committee as a regular membber and to continue the most ex cellent work he has for some time been doing purely as a volunteer. It was the sense of the trustees that attention be again invited to their Iresolution of six months ago request Ing cooperation in doing, away with awnings; this resolu4tion having asked the executi-ve committee to (10 its best ,to gain consent of the owners of those already installed to remove them, and it Our Lad -Wear De 'Floor, When in Ne 1sses, Coats or M illini WILL PAY Y pecial For This Wee [ricotine Ladies' Dresses J i From $5.00 to $7.50 O 'S COATS GREATLY : Off 50c L BE PLEASED TO SH OHEN'h E STORE OF BETTER VAL Should See ne Dining R $267.00 dining room suite, in genuine wood and fi [at $267.00.
