BREAKING UP THE TIGERS
A good many years ago the writer
was a young lawyer beginning the
practice in his profession of a lawyer.
There were a good many other young
lawyers there. Greenwood was then
a new county, and the young men
of the profession who were seeking
fertile fields to conquer had gathered
there. At one of the first terms of
court presided over by the late
Judge James Aldrich the young lawyers
were having their innings. It
happened that at this time a young
North Carolinian was in the county
visiting relatives. His father was a
judge of the courts of North Carolina,
and the young man was stated
to be a lewyer admitted to practice
in the courts of that state.
Seeing the other young men trying
their hands at addressing the
jury, it occurred to this young disciple
of the law to take a hand himself.
His desire being communicated
to Judge Aldrich by some friend
the judge advised that it would be
" *'
tne pleasure 01 tne cuun mi mc
would be advocate to defend some
of the prisoners accused of one or
another offense and who had no
counsel. It happened that one of
the cases which fell to him was that
of a negro charged with the violation
of the Dispensary Law. The young
lawyer was greatly outraged, it appeared
from his speech, at the demand
of the solicitor for the conviction
of his client, on what appear
ed to him as flimsy testimony.
"Why gentlemen of the jury." he
exclaimed, "if you convict this man,
you will break up the blind-tigei
business in Greenwood County".
Judge Rice is the successor of
Judge Aldrick on the bench. He
should profit irom the above story.
None of the essential industries of
the state should be crippled at this
time. But if Judge Rice persists in
sending such men as Worley, Butler
McBride Ed Freeman and Adam
Crawford to the chaingang
for peddilng and selling
liquor, he may cause people hereabout
to go entirely out of the
liquor business. If he and the other
judges apply the law the same way
over the state, the people will be
bereft of liquor. Then what will
the court house hanger on do? Where
will some of the officers of the law,
(not in Abbeville, we are thankful
to say), get their liquor? What use
will there be for the convening of
the General Assembly or the continuation
of the statewide primary,
if we cannot have liquor? These
institutions cannot be run on parched
peanuts alone. How will a man be
enabled to clear up his voice to cheer
on the canddates, if liquqor is gone?
Judge Rice should look about himself,
and take notice of the calamity
he is about to bring on tho people.
SOUTH CAROLINA HOME
PRODUCER'S ASSOCIATION
The home demonstration department
has realized for sometime that
the crying need of the country woman
is to dispose advantageously of
what produce she has. This could
only be accomplished through organization.
A cooperative organization
handling the products of many producers
is in a better position to es
tablish and maintain outlets for
those products than are the individual
grower. Also it is a well known
fact that organizations brought into
being as a result of a well defined
need, are very much more secure
than those created by an appeal to
prejudices or misconceptions. The
year 1921 will ever be remembered
as a year of unprecerented pnancial
disaster and depression especially
among the agricultural class. Not
since the Civil War has the farmer
been so perplexed with problems as
pr^Pi need and his hopes for
'he future, so it was that conditions
were ripe for launching this new de
velopment of home demonstration
: work. Plans for the sales of specialized
products through an organiza-|
tion to be known as the South Caroli- j
|na Home Producers' Association were j
made in April 1921.
The purpose (if this association is j
I to convert the surplus yield of the '
" farm into money by placing on the j
(market a standard product, and by{
: this means to encourage production |
1 jard conservation. Many women be'
came interested, and as a result, the
i
association was launched. Interest
,; grew apace. A state marketing
i agent was secured in August, 1921;
.'with headquarters at Winthrop Colj
lege.
i Originally contracts were gotten
!out for a number of products, but;
(Owing to the difficulty of standard
jizing so many different things, the
contracts were re-written in October,
! 1921, and the number of products cut
down to ten. most of which are dis j
^inctive of our state.. They include,1
blackberry jam, plum jelly, artichoke
.relish, fig preserves, grape juice, soup
(mixture, Ddjdje JBui$oo, (Brunswick
| Stew, Pine Bark Fish Stew and butter.
These products are being pre|
pared by special receipts, put in attractive
containers which are in most
cases sealed with a mechaincal seal
and sold under a label of special design,
the original of which was made
by an artist in water colors. Emphasizing
the fact that these products
J were made in South Carolina, a
beautiful palmetto tree is portrayed
' in the fore ground.
The output of the South Carolina
jHome Producer's Association in 1921
| was about 5,000 containers. All of
.these products which passed inspec
,tion have been sold.
j We have contracts this year for,
200,000 containers. Containers are
, ! |
j being ordered cooperatively. They
;are bought in the wooden reshipping
cases.
'! Two communities/ Ft. 'Motte in j
i Calhoun County and Clio in Marlbo-^
ro county, have orderel their con ,
"'tainers by the car load.
An exhibition of the market pro-,
ducts which attracted wide attention
|was put on in Columbia at the meeting
of the State Federation of Wo;
men's Club on April 20 21. The j
' clubb women became much interested I
? '
I in the marketajble.l products which'
'are being put up by the fram women!
I of our state. The president's of,
twenty-inree ciuds pieagea inem-;
; | selves to itry4, and, secure ;the en '
aorsement of the clubs. Steps have
' | been taken by seven of these clubs, j
i 10 of the county in Federation go-1
jing so far as to order three cases;
(of Dixie Gurgoo in order that the j
^excellency of this product may be j
' tested.

DO FIGURES LIE
A new conception of a man'
working hours has been found ii
the following table:
Each year has 365 days. A mai
sleeping 8 hours a day would in th<
course of a year sleep 122 daye
leaving 243 days. Resting 8 hours i
day would mean a deduction o
another 122 days leaving 121 days
of which 52 are Sundays. The num
ber of working days now left an
69. Most folks work only a half da;
on Saturdays, making another de
duction of 26 days which nov
leaves 43 days. Provision is nov
made for daily lunch and allow
ance for sickness during the year
For both of the latter an hour am
a half or 28 days of the year ari
now deducted leaving 15 days
Two weeks vacation being usually
allowed only one day is left Thai
may either be Labor day or the
Fourth of July, so you see th? pool
working man hasn't such a hare
time of it after all.?Exchange.
