C., Nov. 14. 1916. In pursuance of a call issued by Jno. M. Kinard, a number of citizens of Newberry county met in the courthouse at 11 o'clock today to take steps looking to the establishment of a creamery,. !W. C. Brown was called to the thair and W. H. Wallace was made secretary of the meeting.. The chair called upon Mr. Kinard to state the object of the meeting. Mr. Kinard stated that the object of the meet ing was to take steps to estabiisn a creamery, in Newberry county. He ^aid that at the recent state fair W. Long, of Clemson college, told him tfcat the government would establish two more creameries in South Carolina under government supervision, and he desired that one of these should be in Newberry, and that was why he had called the meeting. Mr. Kinard added that the sum of $4,000 would be necessary for the establishment of a creamery?for the plant Y itself and other expenses, lUblUUUtQ the services of an expert for a year; that 400 cows would "be necessary to provided the cream for the plant, the cream to be gathered from different points somewhat as the mail is gathered and distributed on the rural routes, and in addition shipping points alojig the railroads could use that' means of conveyance. The expense of .getting the cream to the creamery will be met by the owners of the cows; but that expense can be made very light by combinations of shippers. Mr Long assured Mr. Klnard that a -creamery would pay the stockholders nor ppnt Drofit: that no stock holder would be permitted to receive more than eight per cent, whatever -surplus made over that figure would go to the owners of the cows for the -cream furnished. The enterprise, while based on business principles, is not intended so much as a bo?tness enterprise in the usual sense, but more for the purpose of developing the country along the lines of diversification, cooperation and marketing. A number of persons spoke on the subject of a creamery. It was shown ~that, accord during me ing to Mr. Long, the industry had proved a great success wherever it is being tried. T. M. Mills, county; -demonstration agent, read a letter from Mr. Patrick of Clemson college, an expert, in which he said that farmers make from $5 to $10 a month per , cow by sending thf milk to the cream- f ery; that it is being done now in a great many instances. providing farmers in this way with ready cash | to help them start their farming op- j erations on a cash basis, for thp checks are sent out monthlv. Mr. Mills said 3i creamery ought to have six hun- j dred contributing cows, but that four ( hundred would be sufficient to start Su . than that number would Willi?IWo V not do. He felt sure that milk would j be shipped from several noints along the railroad, for instance Chappells, and Chapin. taking in adjacent por-} tions of Saluda and Lexington coun- { ties. Spartanburg has a creamery, that is making S.000 pounds of butter j p month. There is a creamery at j tp<vrs<>n rolle^e that is making 12,-j 000 pounds of butter a month, andj the men m^keting it sav they oouM i di>ro^e of five timps as much if they 1 "h?.* it. Tbe question wa~ asked as to the nnnarafnrs .T r Senn. cr><:t or rreaiu _ _ -who milk6? a number of cows, was! asked wh^t he paid for his s?T>?*"?tor. j and replied $65; his is a large one, 1 candling five hundred pou-nds an koux\ Smailer separators could -be bought for $14 or $15?even cheaper than *- ? ^at by cooperation. Senator Johnstone, president of the board of trustees of Clemson college, spoke of the creamery at Clemson and of his reci-nt trip with tlie South Carolina commission to Alabama. Louisiana, Mississippi and otner weevil infested districts, and urged preparation for the coming of the weevil in this section which he thought would be within a year. Mr. Johnstone declared that there is no feature of competition or rivalry in the "LJ n aaiA tho f?T*st Cr6311itJi y uuoi|^coo? ouiu m* payroll made up of farmers contributing cream to the Clemson creamery was $100; now the creamery is sending cheeks aggregating $1,200 every month to farmers for cream. The butter made at the creamery brought a good price, because it is made the best way, and every farmer contributing cream gets the same >rice. "There is no competition or rivalry among them, but cooperation." Mr. Johnstone said that the scientific ' "? J?~~~~j fVia octohliflh marKeiing uyvtjiupcu m vuwuw??w~ment of a creamery has been extended to other farm products, such as eggs and pounltry. In the course of his talk Mr. Johnstone told of Several incidents in his trip to the West. The commission, he said, visited the small farms and the large ones, and got all (he information they could regarding the boll weevil. At Mound, Mississippi, they found a large planter who gave them ' TI - nniH tllO fATTl - ilia experience. ne oaxu utv . ing of the weevil found him In a con-1 dition of unbelief; he did not believe) so insignificant a thing as this littlo insect could keep him from making cotton; he had made lots of cotton and got rich at it. He Tiad $600,000, and lost $500,000 of it by the boll weevil. Then he began to diversify; to consult experts and follow the teachings of agricultural colleges; planted large fields of potatoes and other things; established a cannery on/j a frpamery?diversified?ana this year, he says, he will come out even, j and next year expects to make money I ? more perhaps than he ever made with cotton. Mr. Johnstone was very earnest in urging diversification and in expressing the fact that the boll weevil is coming, and coming soon. He pledged himself to do whatever he was able to do to establish and help a cream YoTrKcri*v OflTITltv. pry in ?j ? , _ Mr. Kinard said, "We must have the j sinews of war! we must have $4,0001 ?not $3,000?not a cent less than $4,000;' and he felt sure it could be obtained. He then moved that the chair appoint a committee of two from the city and two from each township to make a canvass in their several townships and raise the four thousand dollars in stock for establishing the creamery. The motion was adopted, and the chair appointed the following committees: 'Newberry city?Jno. M. Kinard, Alan Johnstone. Township 1?J. Ed Wallace, Ernest M. Lane. Township 2?0. H. Lane, T. W. Keitt.

Now, if that meant that there was no room near by to which the members went to refresh themselves, it is well. But somehow I never could believe much in this thing of doing things in an indirect way. Don t pretend to be what you are not, has always been my rule. I have reached the conclusion that it does not always pay, as the world goes, but I believe it is right, and I ~ ^erT-i*- TT.~ o * r ia thA rvrnnpr CUU blii C Luc ; io buv x^rv. way, and that it will surely come out right at some time or other. I mention this not to criticise, but simply to say that I have been thfhking some little of late on some things and I have about reached the conclusion it would be well for this country if there never was again a .gill of intoxicating liquors manufactured. I doubt if it. ever did anybody any good, ^jid yet the farce of the thing as we have it is not, to say the least, very encouraging. If we are going to have prohibition let us have it straight. I read in some paper the other day where the shipment of whiskey from Jack OA AAA rvn O'OC sonvme itUUUL OU,UUU gallons, a day. Think of that much whiskey being shipped every day from one little town like Jacksonville, and all of it going into prohibition communities. And then just go around to any express office and see the Jnrge number of packages that are coming in all the time. I believe in beer and light wines as the solution of this whiskey question. I believe that if Mr. Manning had signed that bill that the last legislature passed allowing something like 60 pints ot beer a month, or only two quarts of whiskey, it would have been a long step in the direction of prohibition. They tell me that the kind of whiskey; they get now is?well, it is not the forest. Brt then I don't know much a^out the whiskey proposition and I j reckon I better tMk about something else. I It is a certain fact that the people are going to have some sort of bev- i erage. If you don't believe It you just stand around and watch these j scft drink fountains and see how much coca cola is being used, and somehow I never did believe that it was the most neaitniui inmg iu but you sure can get the habit just like you can get the whiskey habit or any other habit. In fact, the | human animal is very much a bundle of habits any way. And it seems to, be much easier, or rather the animal j is prone to form those habits that J the people say are not beneficial. 11 reckon it is because we are all more or less going in the wrong direction. While there is bo much regulation and the removal of germs and 3 v.. T everything to maKe us guou u> io. * have wondered why they did lot get up some plan that would ca people to form good habits and i?e good by nature and just natural like. But we get mad and we want to fight and take advantage of one another, auu it all comes from the formacion of bad habits. Tliis reminds me of a statement b> Smithy, Buster Brown's partner. He is a great character, but somehow he always shows up the diamond in the " * ~ Vim 11 T\ rougn. .tni?5ier umu tu uww uim ut> with a keg of powder the other day, and he turned around and kept Buster from burning up from the explosion of the powder. But the statement I have reference to is on forgiveness. And the turning of the other cheek when you are smote on the one cheek. It runs like this: -s. "My ma says she believes in forgiveness and mercy all right but she thinks if some one smites you on the right cheek you should turn the other cheek and then kick the very stuffing out oi mm?itiiu u-ieu uiwi She thinks there's too many people! who just do wrong because they know I they can be forgave. And she believes it's good for us if we forgive them, but it's bad for them. Ma thinks it's good to forgive the prodigal son but not. to feed him. Get him a job on the stone pile. Ma forgave me but she soaked me first.'' This is human nature and expresses it very forcibly. That is the way most people turn the other cheek. -o? j '-Changing the subject again just a! little hit abruptly, and yet it is in a sense germane to what I have been writing, if there is anything germane to the subject, I am sorrv to see the governor lose his temper and order out the militia at I.Anderson.
