PAQ? ?'* N . . , NOTICE! "Because of mixing at gin and in field, and because of natural degeneration, any highly-bred cotton deteriorates in quality after 2 or 3 years of farm production... Hence, CONSTANT RENEWAL of seed stock froit\ breeders must be practiced if quality is to be maintained."?Circular No. 162, Clemson Agricultural College, May, 1938. We urge all cotton growers to secure and plant this year enough pedigreed seed to produce their planting seed for next year. One sack of pedigreed seed, each year, from a reliable breeder is a very good investment. This plan pays dividends in better staple and higher prices for your cotton. Kershaw County Cotton Buyers F.

J. TEAM OETTTYS I. C HOUGH Plaintiff's Attorneys Camden, 8. C., February Mrd, 1921. iconGRe/rman j p richhrqj -i Washington, March 10.-?The first Congress of the United States under the Constitution met one hundred and fifty years ago, and that event was commemorated in a joint session of the House and Senate on March 4. Thp nroETam was featured by speeches by the President of the United States, Chief Justice Hughes, Speaker Hankhead and president pro tempore of the Senate, Key Pittman. The scene at these exercises was a very marked contrast to that first meeting a hundred and fifty years ago^ At that time only eleven states wpie represented. The first and second session of the first Congress were! held in New York, at that time a bustling city of 25,000. The old City! Hall was converted into a "Federal Hall" for the new Congress. There was no permanent seat of government, and the Congress determined at the end of each session where it would meet the next. After meeting twice in New York, it moved to Philadelphia for its third session. While the Congress officially convened on March 4, 1789, it was not until April 6, that there was a quorum in the Senate, and a quorum was completed in the HouBe only a little sooner on April 1. South Carolinians in the first Congress were: Senators Pierce Butler and Ralph Izard. Butler was from Charleston and Izard from Orangeburg. The representatives were: Aedanus Burke, Danial Huger, William L. Smith, Thomas Sumter and Thomas Tudor Tucker. It took them about two weeks to ride through the forests to Washington, now one can come by airplane in three and a half hours and about nine hours on the train. In the first Congress fortyeight of the members wefe lawyers, forty-two were college graduates, and fifty-one were veterans of either the Indian or the Revolutionary wars. , The first act passed by that Congress was one providing for the form of ; the oath required by the sixth article of the Constitution, and the last act . was one entitled "Aq act for raising i and adding another regiment to the ' military establishment of the United - States, and for making further provision for the protection of the frontI iers." Twenty-five acts were passed > In the first session, forty-one in the second, and twenty-eight in the third. Probably the most Important was the [ resolution leading to the Bill of Rights amendment to the Constitution. It was estimtaed that the gov* ernment would require $600,000 for its . ordinary expenses, plus an additional i fund to pay the Interest on the public , debt, and there was no revenue. The second act of Congress was to remedy that by passing the Tonnage act, ; which placed a duty on ships, and which soon brought in enough money 1 to run the government The first Congress had to start from scratch. There , were no laws; the supreme court had not been organized; there yrere no precedents to follow; there was only the Constitution to guide them?and they would not agree, even In thoee as to what It meant Some conK strued the ConstitutioirTroadljFr'^B others construed it narrowly. constitutionality of every imporjj^l bill was questioned.
