Remember the full name and look for tbe signature of E. W. GROVE 25c i Officers Elected for Edgefield Produce Exchange. 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 ac cording to law, election of officers was taken up with the following re sults: President, S. B. Nicholson; vice president, W. A. Byrd; secretary treasurer, W. A. Collett; general manager, G. W. M. 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. Mims 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 erable 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 som? 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 a.-.vthing 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 filled. 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 tion 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 ac tual expense of marketing the pro duce. The organization will keep in touch with the daily markets and provide ways and means of shipr' g the produce. It 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 boll weevil, stricken country? Death of Mrs. Zelpha Thurmond. The death is announced of Mrs. Zelpha E. Thurmond, which occurred at the residence of her uaughter, Mrs. Arthur Dorn, six miles out on the Milledgeville Road, Monday night at '5 o'clock where the funeral services will be conducted at the Red Oak Grove Baptist church this morning at ll o'clock. Rev. G. W. Bussey will of ficiate, and the interment will occur in the Red Oak Grove cemetery. Mrs. Thurmond is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Arthur Dorn, of Richmond county, Mrs. John Mat thews of Colliers, and Mrs. Fannie Bush of Modoc, one brother Samuel Prince of Modoc and twenty-four grandchildren and seven great-grand children.-Augusta Chronicle, Jan uary 11th.. The announcement of the death of Mrs. Thurmond caused much genu ine sorrow among her friends through out the county, many of them know ing nothing of her previous illness. Mrs. Thurmond was one of the pil 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 ?f heart, broad sympathy, depth of soul and unselfish service that made her so'greatly revered and so highly estemed. Surely her church and com munity have sustained a loss'which it is well nigh impossible to fill. Her children, all of whom are an honor to her consecrated life, have much to be grateful for. Their heritage through and from her life is indeed a rich one. House Endorses Marketing Plan. Cooperative marketing of cotton was strongly indorsed in a resolu tion passed by the house of repre sentatives yesterday and every farm er 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 tively; 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 ciation; "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. Card of Thanks. We wish to express our profound gratitute to our friends and neighbors for their sympathy and many kind nesses so beautifully expressed and extended in the death of our beloved mother, Mrs. Zelpha Thurmond. We shall always hold these friends in grateful remembrance and pray God's richest blessing upon them. At the same time it will afford us genuine pleasure to retuim these favors should the opportunity afford. * Mrs. FANNIE BUSH. Mrs. ARTHUR DORN. ' Mrs. JOHN H. MATHIS.
