A TIO' VOTERS j OE OCONEE. I have been asked if I would favor building a new Court House. I wiall to siate positively that 1 do not. This ls no time to build a new Court ' House. We can do very well indeed i with the one wo have. i What we need now ls money to spend on our roads and schools, and plenty of lt. Let the old Court House stand; it will do as lt is for a while. 1 am for Hoads-Hoads-roads and schools, and NOT a new Court House. In order that orich 'voter may fully understand my position on the roacl working proposition, J wish to make the following explanation: First-1 wish to givo each town ship in the county n road outfit to work in that township and nowhere else'. Second-lt Is my plan to appro priate money for each township, so, that it will have to bo spent on the roads In that particular township. . lt is my plan to give each town ship money for its roads in propor tion to the number of miles of road in that township. This will give every township a fair and square deal. Each one will have as much money for each mile "of road as the other.. It is NOT my plan to give each township the money lt pays In, but on the contrary I intend, If elected to the Senate, to take all the road money and divide it amongst the townships In proportion to the num ber of miles of road each 'has to work. Tills appeals to mo as affair and square proposition. If you agree with this, and my plan for putting'a road outfit In each township Vote for HARRY HUOHg adv.) For-.-Senate.

The'meeting waa well attended, there' being a largo majority' of ; the. stock represented. The Annual Repdrt of the officers was read and approved witliout change. From that report lt appears that the affairs of the Associa tion are In good, substantial condition, although the losses sustained during the year were exceedingly heaVy on account of tho severe wind storms that visited the lower section of the county during tho spring of 1920. Several matters of interest were discussed, including tho insuring of cotton in Individual warehouses, so that the individual owner could borrow money on his cotton when stored in such. While this question was endorsed and a committee appointed to look into tho advisability of going into that field of risks, it was overwhelmingly the sense of the meeting that nothing should be done that would In any way endan ger the present nourishing condition of the Association by launching out into unknown directions. All of tho old officers were re-elected, and .1. W. Alexander was elect ed vice-President to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late T. Y. Chalmers. FINAN?A.. STATEMENT.
