WEST WATEREE FARMERS AGREE TO HOLD COTTON, At Meeting Many Favor Cut ting Out Entire Crop For The Following Year. MWlin-,y. M <M. 10. A movement in on fool |>) tin- fiiiiiKTh of (lie north cast section iff Wu(wt> toyvipiblp for the purpose of holding cotton oft the nrewiil demon* Hx&l market, lx*ltoytMi by u majority of tlu< thinking farmers t<J In* ('MUH4?| ti* much by spoclllutloil uh In tin- Km o|H'iin vmii. A preliminary uniting was held last Tuesday night, <>ct. 0th, ut Trinity School House and a cutiiiolttM) up pointed to call on every farmer |H*r* sonally in thin community, and to In vite three or four representative farm (tk in the adJoiniiiK communities to at tend a general meeting of farmer* held In i Friday, Oct. Pth, at I J>, ni., at the Kfluio place. Tin* farmer* of thin Meet ion attended almost to the mati, uh well as it numl>er of tlios# Invited from the different communities. The meet ing wus callcd to order and organized by electing a chairman und secretary. A discussion of the matter of hold ing cotton at the present [trice of <i and 7 cents a jhmiimJ followed* and it was the consensus of opinion that to Mell at such prices meant ruination to the farmers from which it would take five or rdx years to recover. It was also brought out that to sell at .the present price of cotton would leave iiIim* tenths of the fanners in Just had ii condition, if not worse, than if ? hey did not sell for the reason that 41 or 7c cotton would not pay mure than BQ OF ?><? |?er ceil! of their debts and with the cotton wold their hopes of pin ing their obligations wouhi l>e gone, even should an apparently reluctant iegislature take some action to relieve n suffering people. After the discussion as above out lined the following resolution was In troduced and passed without a dissent ing voice; "Resolved, That vie the farmers of the Trinity School community do not sell a single bale of cotton before the llrst day of November, 11)14, and that we meet again on Saturday, October 81, at 1 p. in., for the purpoHe of tuk Itig such-act ion ?? the efmdifbtmr of thrJ cotton market demands at that tliue."j It was explained that holding cot ton to the llrst of Novemlier would give time to s?*? whut action the legisla ture of South Carolina now In. session would take, and also what the other cotton growing states are going to trio to help the farmers who are now fac ing ruin. . A pledge was theh drawn lip ami signed by every man present ex cept two to abide by the above resolu tion regardless of what the conse quenees might Ik*. The farmers sign ing the pledge to hold cotton repre sent a production of between sou and l.tKKi bales based u|s>n last year's pro duction. ? The- matter ? of acreage reduction was then taken up and thoroughly dis cussed, and the sentiment of a majority was for cutting out cotton entirely for 11M5. and planting six acres to the plow In 11)1(1, while some present was in favor of planting four or live acres in HUT), and six acres In lpiu. ? The chairman was requested to write the Kershaw delegation In the legislature to that effect. A motion was passed calling upon all tin* farmers of Kcrslufw County to organize along the following Hues at every school house In the county. HaVe a preliminary meeting, appoint a committee to see every farmer in your community |?ersonally and ask him to attend a. general meeting at a certain time, and Invite three or four representative farmers from the ad joining communities to meet with you ho they can see along what Hues you are organizing and they can then re turn to their communities and get to gether along the same lines. In this manner the process of organizing and getting together will "spread like an endless chain and an organization built up that can do some" effective work in this crisis. It IV up j|ie farmer to do a little thinking for him self . . ? ? ? REALTY TRANSFERS As Shown by Books in Office of County Auditor. Sntlin Unit to I-. 1 >. .lenntugs. r?c* Hero, So.lMI I *. A.

The Held work Is done In cooperation with the federal government. J. M. Burgess, associate professor of <lalrylng, jHilnts out that the cream shlp|?ed to the college Is practically all mirpluHt It Is cream that would be consumed extravagantly at home for want of a market or market facilities, without this plan by which the college markets the surplus creaui for farm*, ers. He fx ilnts out farther that t|he forty, two . cmvjj? which ? produced for their owtters the surplus of $170.37 were cows - only of the fourth class, yielding alstut lfH) lbs. yf butter fat per year each. With proper care and feeding, these cows could be made to produce for their owners, through the co-o|?eratlve creamery.- profits fully twice as large. There seems t ? > be little doubt now that the co-o|?erutlve creamery will be 'successful. If It succeeds in the meas ure that has been planned for It. It will be one of the largest marketing factors In South Carolina and will ilo more to encourage dairying in this state iTian will any other one thing. ADVICE TO THE HOUSEWIFE. (lly H.

Alex ander. with his temples bound in chap lets dipped in the blood of countless nations, looked down upon a conquered world and wept that there was not another one for him to conquer, ^ben set a city on fire and died amid scenes of debauch! . ) Hannibal, one of the greatest soldiers who ever lived, after having passed the Alps, to the amazement of Home, and - having successfully fought and con quered the armies of the mistress of the world, stripping three bushels of gold rings from the fingers of her slaughtered warriors, fled from his country. He died by polsou admin istered by bis own hand, unlainented. in a foreign land. Caesar, considered as a general, a statesman and airnler, has bad few equals and probab^r no superiors. Aft er conquering 800 cities and dye ing his hands in the blood of mil lions of his enemies, after having par sued to death the only rival be hid. was assassinated by those whom he considered to be bis best friends.
