GIVE THE FACTS.
The South Caroling Cotton Grow
ers Cooperative Association is now
fully organized and it has begun to
function. We were among those re
sDonsible for the success of the move
ment in this county and we believe
we have a right to speak in behalf
of those farmers of Abbeville Coun
ty who have become members.
Having such right, we desire to
say that the acts of the governing
body of this organization must be
open. The organization will not suc
ceed without publicity as to all matr
ters affecting the welfare of the
members. Having this truth in view
the officere have announced the se
lection of certain employees of the
organization, but no announcement
has geen made of the salaries to be
paid these officers.
It is a fact that the men employed
by the organization for the selling
and handling of cotton must .be men
of great experience, men who have
been accustomed to receive large re
muneration^, and it will take large
BOIMIACO W CUI^IUJ WIV iigttv nuiM v?
men. We all understand that, but
then that is no reason why we should
not know what our officers ar& do
ing, and it is no reason why the pub
lic should not be advised as to these
salaries when we are still asking
othei^ to join the organization. It
is a mistake to have the appearance
of trying to conceal anything. We
take it that the directors of the or
ganization have nothing to conceal,
but when they fail to give publicity
to mat.t.pr<5_ thpv annpar to
conceal. The fact that officers of a
kindred organization are now being
criticised for taking large salaries
should warn the officers of the new
organization of the danger.
We notice that an attorney has
been employed for the organization.
He is a man of ability and it is stat
ed that he is greatly interested in
the farmers' movement. An attorney
is necessary in a good many matters
pertaining to the organization and
the management of the new enter
prise, but the public should know
what services are to be rendered by
the attorney and what salary, if
any, is to be paid him. The people
? i. i i:
win suppurt an legitimate CApeuui
tures for the success of the move
ment, but they will not undertake to
pay unnecessary salaries and ex
?
penses,
Publicity is the word, and without
jt we will not succeed. , *
TEXTILE MILLS FACE
PROBLEM OF COAL
Clark Thinks Many Plants in Caro
linas Will Be Forced to Close
Charlptte, N. C., Aug. 19.?Many
of the several hundred textile plants
in the Carolinas will be closed down
within the next ten days or two
weeks, on account of the inability
to secure coal, in the opinion of
David Clark, editor of The Southern
Textile Bulletin, who has just com
pleted a tour and survey of manu
facturing centers in the two states.
This does not apply, Mr Clark said
in a statement todav. to mills usine
beyond the reach of the hydro-elec
tric transmission lines and also those
within that territory which operate
partly by steam.
Even with a large number of coal
mines resuming operation, said Mr.
Clark, the fuel problem of the tex
tile mills is by no means solved, be
cause of the railroad strike situation
which makes it impossible to haul
anything like a normal tonnage.
Beetles in the East and West In
dies are so brilliant in coloring that
they are beautiful as gems.
Girls born in July are likely to be
faithful in love and friendship, ac
cording to an old belief.
SIZE OF FIELD.
There has been considerable dis
cussion on the streets the past week
of the correct size of a regulation
football field. Estimates of the dis
tance from goal to goal have been
given from 90 yards to 110 yards.
~ i n-.i? 1Q91
Spalding's urnciai rmieo
state that a regulation football field
is 100 yards from goal line to goal
line and the width is 160 feet. End
zones behind each goal are provided
ifor the completion of forward passes
etc. These end zones should be 10
yards each.
All of the discussion was brought
about by the grading of the athletic
field in rear of the new school build
ing. The actual grading being done
there is 100 yards by 100 yards. But
there remains sufficient space for end
zones which will be provided before
completion of the field.
It is also estimated that by plac
ing home plate in rear of the corner
of the athletic field next the Link
?iL.i . Unr.n.Knl] siiorrmnH nf
piupei i,y Uiiat a uadcuan ??
ample dimensions may be provided.
Looking from the proposed site of
home plate it appears to even so ar
dent fans as Col. Jim McMillan and
Claude Neuffer that a player who
knocked a ball over the embankment
behind center field would be entitled
to a home run without further dis
cussion.

GOOD ROADS BILL
. FAILED TO PASS
Georgia Legislature Votes Millions
For Pensions.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 19.?Following
an all-night sitting, punctuated with
stormy debate the 1922 session of
the Georgia state legislature came
to a close at 5 o'clock this morning
with many bills of more or less im-l
portance crowded out.
The final session, however, ac
counted for the passage of the ap
propriation which provided $2,451,
000 for Confederate pensions for
the years of 1922-23 and wiped out
the present distinction between the
old and new pensioners.

a spirited debate, was killed out by
the house, when a substitute propos
ed by the senate in the afternoon
'was introduced on the floor. A bill
to provide a biennial session of the
legislature instead of the present
annual session was also killed.
Special appropriations for the
state university system, were passed
in the closing hours of the session,
but no provision was made by the
legislature to raise the revenue to
make the funds available.
Only a few members remained on
the floor of either house when the
resolutions to adjourn sine die were
