Mr. John K. de Loach, President of the Chamber of Commerce presided. After repeating the Lord's Prayer In jjunison and the singing of "My Coun- ! try 'Tis of Thee", Mr. de Loach in a i clear and concise manner told of the | purpose of the meeting, which he said , was to oiganize and "to put on and j across the National Recovery plan in j ; the community." He stressed the j ^seriousness of the situation and tfte importance of every patriotic citizen Kloing his and her utmost to back President Roosevelt's plan for a ! ' j speedy restoration of prosperity.! After his talk nominations were open for a General and Lieut. Gen- i eral ? the General to be a man and the Lieut. General to be a woman. t Mayor Kennedy nominated Mr. de Loach and the motion was seconded by Mr. C. H. Yates. Mr. de Loach was unanimously chosen as General. Next in order was the naming of a Lieut. General. Mr. Henry Savage Jr. nominated Mrs. Leon Schlosburg and the motion was seconded. Mrs. Schlosburg also was unanimously e lected. The General and Lieut. Gen. will appoint their subordinates ( from members of the campaign com mittee. Mr. de Loach named on the Interpretation Committee ? a com- : mittee to study the Code and to give information to those seeking it ? Mr. C. H. Yates, Chairman, Mr. J. Team Gettys and Mr. Sam Karesh. Othei , committees will be named later as the organization progresses. Heading the work in each state are a state chairman and a state women chairman, both ' tuppoihted' by the Governor of tho state. These two, in addition to the chairman of the committees representing the principal cities of the state, and the state commissioner of labor, will constitute the state committee. The duties of these state com- . mittees are to make certain that every city in the state organizes and conducts a local Emergency Re- ( employment drive. Next comes the city organization. The ' local committee is organized along strictly military lines, the i leader being designated as "General". He, in turn, selects three colonels, : each of whom will have charge of a specific part of the campaign. Each Colonel will appoint majors and so , on. It will be a duty of the organi- | '/ation to make a complete survey of | the unemployed, codifying them as to ? adaptability by expei fence to trade: and industries and act as an inter mediary or active agent in getting ">eop!r- i?to definite jobs. It will also be the duty of this group of workers to cheek on the proper use of the N. R. A. insignia by dealers and con sumers. It will he the duty to con duct and organize th^ publicity and educational campaign, to organize the speakers' bureau. It is suggested that lh> puhli< , watch the newspapers and listen to th?i radio with the view of learning ' every phase of the campaign as it unfolds. There is not an individual or family in the city of Camden that, is not vitally affected by this drive because it will be an important factor in breaking the back bone of a depress ion which President Roosevelt so i nfptly described recently as "four years of economic hell."

Cotton Must Actually Be Destroyed * _ , Before Certificates of Performance can be executed through the County Agent's office it will be absolutely necessary that the cotton to be de stroyed as represented in the pro ducer's contract must be destroyed in entirety, beyond any possibility of yielding cotton in any amount. The acreage offered in the contract to be destroyed has been accepted and purchased by the Government and it now belongs to the Government and it will be a Federal offense for any one to gather or remove any lint seed cotton or seed in any shape or form from the acreage designated to be de stroyed. Anyone gathering immature cotton bolls will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Federal Law. The swapping of patches or fields of cotton to be destroyed is absolutely prohibited and forbidden. Farmers destroying cotton other than that def initely designated in their contracts with the U. S. Secretary of Agricul ture do so at their own risk as cotton so destroyed will not be paid for. Moreover, th efarmer will be required to destroy that acreage designated in his contract. It Should, . be remembered, however, tht^ftthe farmers are permitted to use th?j cotton plant as hay for feed for home consumption, but even this is not to be put on a public market. Many farmers are plowing up thei: cotton at thi^tiajle in such a manner that it is Crtc^completely destroyed and if left alone as it now is wouljfc make some yield of lint cotton, which? if gathered and put on the market, woutd tend to defeat the pui^pose of the campaign and of course would re dact Against our oottow^famaers as a whole. ? \ i This article is trended only fo^the interest'# the hnnaafclTflftoerg, and I believe that our farmers will i accept it as such and appreciate this effort to safeguard their interest. It i9 my desire to cooperate in every way possible and as far as possible with every farmer in the county, and in this connection I am leaving the method of destroying the contracted cotton entirely to the farmer with only one provision and that is that the cotton must be en tirely destroyed beyond any possibil ity of making lint. In some cases where farmers are late in destroying their cotton some of this cotton may open. This should be guarded very closely to see that absolutely none of such cotton be gathered, even by marauders. A farmer having such cotton and allow ing it to open which cotton belongs to the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture will be held liable for the gathering of any such cotton, even by parties unknown to him. Yours respectfully, 1 HENRY D. GREEN, Co. Agt.

Poultry Short Course Will Be Given Again Clemson College, Aug. 5. ? So suc cessful have been the poultry short courses at Clemson College for the past three years that the fourth an nual event will be held here August 29-31, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. Such a course he finds meets a real need among practical poultrymen who wish to obtain in tensive instruction in modern prac tices. He is already receiving in l quires about the course this summer. The three days are packed with dis cussions and demonstrations on everyday problems in poultry raising, with special emphasis on culling, judging and selection. ! The college poultry plant will be open at all times and the short course students will be given full opportun ity to become familiar with the up to-date methods used in its operation. I There arc no requirements for en trance to the course since it is es sentially of a practical nature, Mr. Gooding explains. There will not be j any fees, and rooms will be available \ in the college dormitories both for men and women. There wil lbe no charge for these rooms, but persons occupying them will need to bring along light cover and towels. Meal" ! may be secured on the campus for one dollar per day. Those interested may secure further information from county agents or from the Poultry Division at Clemson College. i tyi*- I fDr. J. C, Guilds at the.

August Work Import ant for Fall Gardens AUGUST WORK IMPORTANT FOR GOOD FALL GARDENS Clemson College, Aug. 5. ? The suc cess of the fall and winter garden depends largely on important work to be done in August, says A. E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist, pointing out tho needs as to planting, fertilizing and care of the numerous vegetables that may be had from now until midwinter. The planting schedule needing August attention Mr. Schilletter lists as follows: Plant Irish potatoes at once ? Look out Mountain, Irish Cobbler. Plant rutabaga turnips at once; other turnips up to Sept. 15. Extra Early Pur<pletop, White Egg. Plant beans up to Sept. 10 ? Bount iful, Stringless Greenpod. Plant beets now ? Crosby's Egypt ian, Detroit Dark Red; and carrots ? Chantency, Coreless. Plant corn at once ? Stowell's Ever green, Trucker's Favorite. Plant lettuce for fall transplanting ? New York;- Mignonette. Transplant tomatoes, collard, cab bage and celery for fall and winter. Regarding fertility for late crops Mr. Schilletter says that like animals, plants must be fed continously, if good results are to be obtained, ar.d a late crop cannot feed on fertility that has been used up earlier in the season. Well decomposed stable ma nure applied between tho rows in August and September will make a wonderful difference in tho late growth of , plants. If this is not avail able or convenient to use, a side | dressing of some "^uickfy available form of nitrogen should be used. ..RATTLESNAKE KILLS MULE i A mule belonging to John Wiley, colored farmer of Lugoff, was killed by a rattlesnake last week.
