C? Sept. M..~A call lias been issued'for the meeting of the South Carolina Cume and Fi- \ association, temporary nucleus organization of sportsmen, united for the purpose, of forming a permanent statewide association, to be held in the downstairs assembly hall of the Columbia Township Auditorium, corner of Taylor and Henderson streets, Columbia, Wednesday, October I I, at II o'clock in the morning. 1 he objects of the meeting arc to perfect a permanent .state organization of sportsmen, elect officers, adopt a definite statewide policy and program, and select a legislative committee including members from uil sections of the state represented in membership, to draft a new set of game and fish laws, suitable to the varied needs of all parts <of the state for presentation to the next regular session of the general assembly. Every regular paid up member of the association will have a voice and a vote at this meeting, and as many as will or can are urged to attend. All plans and suggestions offered at this time will be recorded and turned over to the legislative committee, which will consider all recommendations and strive to draft a successful game and fish law whieh will meet all major requirements of every portion of the state. To this end it is expected that the association s bill will carry a clause dividing the state into three or more game and fish zones, in each of which conditions vary, requiring somewhat different regulations and systems. Counties which for one reason or another have not yet formed ehap?t(?rs of charter members of the association still have time if they wish to be represented at the state meeting and take part in the formation of the statewide policy and contribute their suggestions in that direction. Paid-up members in counties which have no regular organized chapters will likewise be entitled to all privileges of membership and all are cordially invited to be present and take part in the organization meeting. This association, which now contains 1,242 members in 36 of the 46 counties of the state, is the resut of a "Call for Volunteers" issued June 26, at the suggestion of A. C. Heyward, through the daily "Woods and Waters" column in the State of Columbia, conducted byHarry Hampton, and is a voluntary nucleus of sportsmen pledged to worK for the formation of the permanent association whose aims shall be the better protection and propagation of the game, fish and forests of the entire state. At the October meeting. the methods of attaining the-e j objects will be definitely adopted and ! action staded. I Htm* in the temporary association I a-e only oOc, and Harry Hampton, : The State. Columbia, is acting trea urer. j After the state meeting a drive w;d be held for members and as many sportsmen as can be converted to the cause of conservation brought in and signqd up for conservation of the state's wild life. Originators of the movement fed that the progress made so 1 far s highly satisfactory, and that if members co-operate as they are expected to do, the aims of the movement in the main should be successful. - ? ?

Beleos Wins Trip To Servel Factory bus Beleos, of the Home Furnishing company, local dealer for the Servel Hermetic Electric Refrigerator, left Saturday for Evunsville, Indiana, to attend the fall sales convention of Servel Sales, Inc., manufacturers of the Servel Hermetic. The convention opened Monday morning, September 28, continuing through September 29. Mr. Beleos will make the entire round trip with all expenses paid a-; a reward for having sold his quota of Servel Hermetic refrigerators during a Free Trip to Factory Contest comtTTFted by Servel for their dealer, throughout the United States. Hundreds of Servel dealers will convene at the Servel factories during the convention. A two-day program I will include amusements, t r i p > through the Servel plants, sales meetings, banquets, sightseeing tours, golf tournaments and various other interesting activities. The city of Evansville is being appropriately decorated for the occasion, welcoming the visiting delegations which will arrive by train, motor bus and airplane during the week-end previous to the opening date. Nothing is being spared to make the convention one of the greatest events in the organization's history, according to announcement from the Servel factories. Since thousands of new dealers have joined the ranks of Servel this year, a large majori.y will be visiting the factories for the first time. Large delegations are ex potted from California, Washington and other western state-. Similarly large groups will attend from the' Eastern seaboaid and mid-Western sections. 1 ill' . servei rter int-io. ( in.un frigerator was placed on the market early this year. Dealers attending the factory convention will represent some of the largest distributing firms in the country who are distributors for the Servel Hermetic. Refrigerator sales have developed rapid y since the announcement of this new type of electric refrigerator, and Servel executives anticipate even greater success during the coming year. Hog Sales Help Carolina Farmers Farmers in North and South Carolina are receiving hog prices that I represent an average return of 75 'cents to $1 a bushel for corn thus 1 disposed of, say Extension Service | folk in touch with hog raising and selling in the two States. South Car| olina farmers who grow hogs for general markets are expected to sell dc[ tween 260 and 300 carloads this fall. The aggregate return to them will exceed $200,000 and about equal that of last f although many mqre hogs are being Bold this year. Extension Service men say farmers are holding back ntore hogs for home killing than they usually slaughter and will sell more home-cured meats locally than they have sold in the past. \\ Matiy more South Caroina hogs ara being disposed of in local town and city markets than during any other recent period.

Our state and county governmentare not proceeding on that basiPVom one side or the other connpleas for additional services, or duplication, or over-expansion of services | or increase in expenditure for some j reason.. The county legislative delegation finds itself besieged by those 1 who want new expenditures, and finds j itself besieged by those who want new expenditures, and finds no one appearing for the general mass >f .taxpayers. And on a larger scale d; we find the same thing true of the j legislature as a whole. A, B and ' ' are there with special petitions f< " ' greate- expenditure, and the legislator, however desirous of economy, find.himself swept into a vortex of <x penditure by thfc pressure of special solicitude. This organization wishes to speak for that great mass of citizens who pay the bills and ask nothing except the protection of the law. The Farmers' and Taxpayers' League purposes to provide the data on which reductions may be made, it will show what services may be re' duced or eliminated without affecting the efficient administration of public affairs. In this effort it is absolutely essential that all those who sympathize with this purpose shall make their influence felt by forming a powerful and cohesive body capable of accomplishing results. Our state has a deficit to date of about five million dollars. The state and county gpvernmenls must reduce expenses.

Sullivan, meteorologist in charge of the Columbia weather bureau, says in his synopsis of weather and crops condi, tions in the state for the period. ] "Cotton is opening rapidly, with premature opening in many sections; the fields are generally white, but picking and ginning have been con; siderably slower than in former seasons, due to economic conditions. ; "Tlif weather has been especially favorable for baying and peanut harl vesting, which have proceeded satisfactorily. Late corn, fall white potatoes, truck and other late crops are. suffering for rain, and pastuies arc becoming badly parched. , "Apples, sweet potatoes, grapes-, watermelons, and all kinds of vegetables are being marketed. Full plowing continues practically suspended on account of hard, dry soil." State Fair To I.
