^ SHEALY FAMILY REUNION
WAS PLEASANT AFFAIR
The descendants of Mr. and Mrs.
John A. Shealy, Sr., of Little Mountain,
met August 6.th at the residence
where they have lived since their
marriage, a little over fifty years ago,
and in sight of the places where each
one was reared. The occasion of this
coming together was the celebration
of Mr. Shealy's 72nd birthday, which
was on Monday the 8th. He is the
eldesjt of the living sons of Uncle1
Jacob Shealy, who died a couple of!
years ago i^ar the age of a hundred
years. He appears to partake of tliie
longevity of his father and that he,
therefore, has before him many more
birthdays. He looks healthy and active,
and as a farmer he does about
all kinds of work on the farm with
the same degree of ease and efficiency i
that the average much younger man
doesl . His companion, who was before
marriage Miss Happie Boland,
about three years his junior, shares
with him in appearance and cheerfulness.
The dinner for the day was
a well prepared barbecue dinner, with
other tempting viands. Those present
to partake were about fifty in
number. Ii\ addition to the members
of the family present were Miss
Mary Boland of Atlanta. Mrs. Emma
Brady of Little Mountain, Mr. and
Mrs. "W. J. Lindler and Rev. J. B.
Harman and family.
\t
The "children of this time-honored
couple are Prof. W. Aug. Shealy, Co"\
lumbia; A. Quincy Shealy, Perrys;
Milledge Shealy, Leesville; Mamie,
wife of Mr. Jacob W. Long, Little
Mountain; Florence, wife of Mr.
Charles Epting, Leesville; Mattie
Lee, wife of Mr. Claude Clark, Little
Mountain; Carrie, wife of Mr. W. E.
? Koon, Chapin; Nell Rae, wife of
George Lever, Columbia,- and Miss
Bessie Shealy, Little Mountain.
The occasion seemed a most enjoyable
one for all.
Long live these good people, and
may they Jiave many more such pleasant
days together.?Newberry Observer.

NEW LAW IN EFFECT.
Contrary to the information stated
on the back of this year's hunting:
% licenses, the season for hunting squir*
rels, coons, rabbits and 'possums
v? opens September 1 instead of October
1. This discrepancy is explained in a
letter which has ^ust been received
from the State game warden.
It reads as follows:
* ? ? _ - i
em account or me Hunting Li- i
censes for this season having been
' printed before the Acts of 1921 came
from the hands of the printers, it was
stated on the back of the licenses
that the season for squirrels, raccoons,
rabbits and opossums would
open October 1st and close after;
March 15.
# "The 1921 Legislature, however, (
passed the following Act, from tehich
it wTll be seen that squirrels, rac- i
coons, rabbits and opossums may be"
hunted from September first to March
first. j?
"Act No. 167, Acts of 1921. s 'l
X
\ . "Section 1. Be it enacted by the'
General Assembly of the State of'
South Carolina: The close season for"
hunting squirrels, raccoons, rabbits,
and opossums in this State shall be:
from March 1 to September 1 of each s
year." 'vv

WHAT THE COUNTY AGENT
DID IN MONTH OF JULY
f
To the Legislative Delegation of Lexington
County:
Weekly reports of County Agent J.
W. Shealy 'or the month fo J' ly s'.ovthat
he made 38 visits to farmers and
i 25 visits to boys of the boys agricultural
club, and traveled 750 miles in
the interest of county agent work,
i Assistance was given with one
meeting with a total of 200. 16 hogs
'were treated against cholera and
.cattle tested for tuberculosis on 3
farms. 86 letters were written and
65 bulletins mailed to interested farmers.
Two boys were sent to the
Short Course at Clemson College.
One Dairy Specialist was brought into
the county and assistance given in
establishing 2 dairy farms.
' Mr. Shealy reports that prospects
for a good corn crop are good. He
is paying special attention to winter
legumes on the theory that money
^will be scarce next Spring and far:
mers must grow their fertilizer during
the winter. This is the very basis'
'for econoimcal crop production and is
another evidence of the fact that your
County Agent has continued to
preach the principals of sound farming
during the trying times of the
'last two years.
Criticism and suggestions are invited
in order that we may make
county agent work more efficient.
Very truly yours,
HENRY S. JOHNSON,
District Agent.

WHAT COTTON GROWERS
' . ASSOCIATION MEANS/j
The following taken from a booklet
issued by the South Carolina Cotton
.Growers Cooperative Association
gives a general idea ' of the work
/which it is undertaking and how it
is proposed to accomplish the results
for which the association is striving:
What It Is.
The South Carolina Cotton Grow-'
ers' Cooperative Association is a proposed
organization of South Carolina
cotton growers, on a state-wide basis,,
*
to be formejl for the one specific purpose
of selling their cotton crop cooperatively.
: It is a marketing orgahization composed
only of actual South Carolina
r'cotton growers, landlords and tenants, i
: operated directly by the growers with
'the assistance of the best technical
cotton specialists that can be employed.
These growers will pool and sell
'through the association at least 400,000
bales of th^?922 crop.
The plan of organization of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative
Association is based on the
'so-called California system which has
proven practicable and profitable.
Through their association 80,000 California
farmers are co-operatively,
handling more than $300,000,000
worth of business annually.
What has been done in California
and the Pacific Xorth-West with
fruits, nuts, eggs, rice, wheat, milk,
alfalfa and honey, South Carolina cotton
growers are now proposing to do
with cotton.
What it Proposes > to Do.
The South Carolina Cotton Growers'
Coopei-ative Association proposes
to 'effect many necessary reforms in
the present system of cotton selling,
first, by the elimination of wasteful
methods, and second, by collective
selling. ,
' Specifically the Association will do
the following definite things for the
members and their 400.000 bale crop.
1. It will grade, class, staple and
r
weigh each bale.
2. It will warehuse and store cotton
wherever and whenever necessary.
3. It will sell all of its cotton in
even running lots, each grade, class
and staple within its own pool.
4. It will sell on its own sample
and warehouse certificates.
5. I: will sell collectively and only
when the market demands it.
0. It will sell its c-ottoi^as directly
as possible.
7. It will determine the cost of
production of ^cotton.
8. It will encourage and develop
the cooperative production of uniform
and standard varieties by communities.
Can such a program be carried out?
Yes, but only in one way. Under the

'plan of organization, the South C'aro-j
lina Cotton Growers' Cooperative As- j
isociation becomes a working associa-j
* t
tion when a membership representing j
at least 400,000 bales is secured. Each j
member, regardless of the number of j
bales he produces, signs a marketing*!
contract with the association repre- j
senting himself and every other member,
in which all members agree to j
sell all of their cotton through the j
association for a perio^ of five (5) j
years, and during which time all mem- [
bers must deliver all of their cotton j
/to the association, and to no other!
I firm, person or corporation. j
The cotton becomes the actual l
property of the association, in which'
; each member has an interest propor-j
tionate to the amount and quality of j
/cotton that he delivers. 4 The assoc-i- j
'anon, tnrougn us tecnmcal cottoa
marketing specialists, employed by the
i Board of Directors, will handle all of i
the cotton of its members, in the most
profitable way, carrying out the steps
enumerated, and prorating back the
maximum profits to each member.
Does It Conform to Law?
The marketing principles and
methods of oi'ganization of the Sohth
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association are not matters of ex- J
periment. They have been worked I
out through more than a quarter of J
a century of actual experience in co-!
operative marketing by the' farmers
of California and other western states,
and have been upheld in the highest
state courts ^ind have successfully
stood the test.of investigation by the
Federal Trade Commission.
How It Will be Organized
The South Carolina Cotton Growers'
Cooperative Association is to be
organized by an organization committee
consisting of a Chairman, two.
3
Vice-Chairmen, a Secretary, and a!
Treasurer, and General Counsel, and j
twenty (20) additional members. The!
members of this organization commit- j
tee were selected at six regional meet- j
ings held in different parts of the
state, from April 5th to 14th, 1921.
The first assembly of this committeei
was held in Columbia. S. C., May 3rd, j
at which meeting the committee or-!
ganization was perfected and the con-1
tract adopted. Members in the asso- j
eiation will be secured by a member- i
ship campaign in each county, during I
which meetings to explain fully the I
plan will be held in every community J
Every cotton farmer will thus havei
a chancie'to learn all about it.

must be secured by May 1st. 1922,
and immediately thereafter the organization
of the association will be
completed and its directors elected.
The state will be divided into ten districts,
each producing an approximately
equal amoun tof cotton. The
members in each of these districts
will vote on a director for the association.
All directors must be members
and cotton growers. The ten directors
so elected, plus one director
to be named by the Governor of the
'State, to represerrt the consuming
public, will govern the affairs of the
association Eadh director under the
law will serve one year.
What This Plan Means to Farmers
It is a matter of common knowl
3 ll 4 A J 4- ^
euge uiai^cuuiury ua.iiiitgc tu uuuun
is often vei^y severe, ranging from
$2.00 to $6.00 a bale. In terms of.
fan average crop of 1,350.000 bales,!
m j
i this represents an annual loss of millions
of dollars to our" growers.
"Country damage" can only be avoid- j
ed through proper and speedy ware- J
house cotton received from members. |
pending its sale, thus eliminating this
loss.
All too often the grade of cotton I
has been a small factor in the price [
paid for it and the farmer who sold'
in ignorance of the true grade of his!
cotton, did so at great loss to himself I
and at a price which made the buv-4'
er's profit unreasonably large. Under
the association plan the real value of!
the cotton will be paid to the grower, \
less the actual cost of doing business.
The plan of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers' Cooperative Association,
in all of its essential features, is the
same plan which is being adopted by
the cotton growers of other states.
There is a prospect that within the
next few years South Carolina will
market its cotton cooperatively with
f
other similar marketing associations
(
in the other southern states, so that
a large percentage of the cotton of!
the entire -South wfil be sold by the
farmers themselves acting through
their own agents, as directly as possible
to the actual manufacturers of
cotton goods.
The membership campaign is under
way. It is expected that every cotton
farmer in South Carolina will be
given a chance to join. Jso membership
will be taken in any countj% however,
until there is a real demand by
the cotton growers of that county for
organization and no community will
be entered by the organization committee
until the leading farmers of j
