COTTON MARKETING
MEETING AT SANTUC
The meeting scheduled to be held at
Santuc yesterday in the interest of
cotton marketing was held at the appointed
hour, 3 o'clock p. m.. Thirtysi*"
men attended the meeting and the
folj ring program was carried out:
L. J. Browning, president of the Union
County Branch of the American Cotton
Association, represented the cotton
association and urged upon all the
necessity of joining the movement. He
stressed the fact that men of all occupations,
including the manufactur
ers, snould enter the organization, for
its purpose is the upbuilding: of the
South. He showed need for cooperation,
if the best interests of ttie South
are to be met. He urged that-^tens be
made for obtaining a cotton grader
for Union County.
VV. II. Mills, representing Clemson
College Extension work, explained in
detail the warehousing plan proposed.
He showed how great was the lose
from weather damage, also from the
usual method of sampling and urged
upon all the cotton growers the necessity
for proper housing, holding so as
to gradually market the cotton and
explained in detail the plans of the
warehouse commission and the great
benefits to be derived. Cotton must
be kept from weather damage, it must
be marketed for a period of twelve
months, and to do these things, there
must be warehouse facilities adequate
to meet the needs: those wn-ni.n..-?
, ?? ^ivuvudca
must be in easy reach of the farmer.
The estimated cost of a warehouse
was given, both the cheaply constructed
one and the brick building with
sprinkler system. He estimated the
cost of the cheaper structure at $2.00
to $3.50 per bale capacity, and the
better building at $'15 per bale capacity.
Thus, a thousand bale warehouse
on the cheaper scale would cost from
$2,000 to $3,500 to build. The brick
structure of a thousand bales capacity
would cost about $15,000. The difference
in insurance would just about
balance up the two propositions, the
rate on the cheaper building being
much higher than on the brick warehouse.
He urged that for small communities
the cheaper structure . He
explained in detail the entire question
and left the community the matter of
settling the question as to what kind
of a warehouse is to be constructed
and also whether there be any need
for a warehouse. If you already have
adequate facilities, and the rate is
reasonable, better not build additional
structures, but use what you alreadv
Have. , (

A. A. MoKeown, district agent, next
spoke and gave a very interesting discussion
of the question of cotton grad.
log. lie urged that eueh county unite
'?in the plan baeked up by the cotton association
and the department of agri ?'
sen It urc through Clemson College to in'
i-ti a-" .' '! '
treduce the cotton grading system. He
showed how the farmers are losing ii
large sums of money through improp- f
er grading, giving examples of specific a
cases to prove his contention. t
The following committees, to fur- t
ther investigate and act were appoint- v
ed for Ifish Dam and Santuc town- s
ships, these townships to cooperate v
with the other townships in the coun- i:
ty: F
Warehousing: M. Russell Jeter, v
chairman; W. T. Jones and A. W. Gil- 0
more. ^
i Grading. J. M. Jeter, Sr., chair- ^
i man; Jno. W. Gregory and J. A. *
, Adams. *
c
Membership in Cotton Association: ^
I R. M. White, Chairman; J. F. Meador
, and W. O. Jeter.
The cotton grading committee, along g
s with similar committees from the
other townships, will decide the ques- j
' tion of whether we are to have a cot- .
| 1
ton grader for the county. The cost c
| will be $3,000 a year. The Santuc g
committee at once got busy and de- ^
cided t0 ask for a contribution of 50c ^
per bale produced last year. Quite j
r a number of farmers agreed to aci
*
, cept that proposition. So soon as the c
. president of the county cotton asso- a
I ciation can report to the agricultural rj
department that $3,000 is on deposit r
in a bank in Union County subject to
the demand of the government, a grader
will be sent to the county, that is
provided he can be secured. There is
a shortage of graders, and in case we
could not be furnished with one, of
course this money would be refunded
to the contributers. The same schedule
as to committees will be carried
out at Union and Jonesville. The same
questions will be discussed by the
same speakers. .
Union County, it seems to us, should
have an official cotton grader, and the
Santuc plan is as good as any. Ijet
each farmer contribute 50c for each
bale made last year and let the committees
call upon the other business
intrests for a contribution that will be i
in just proportion to the amount con- I
tributed by the farmers. |
It was brought out at the meeting
that some counties put up this first
year's money and by charging for
grading that year get the money re- 11
funded und it is then returned to the
donor.
j Other counties put up the first year I
;the $3,000 and allow all farmers tojj
nave tne service ot the expert grader
free. This latter course seems the
one likely to be chosen in this county,
jfrom what we saw at the Santuc meeti
in}?.
| We do not care how you do it, just
, so you get the cotton grader. We
; feel that it will be a great step for- "
ward for Uhion County, and the cost,
$3,000 a year, is a mere pittance from
each one. Let us have the cotton grader,
and let us have him the coming ^
season. 8
As to the warehouse question, we i
await the announcement of the com<
mittees appointed, but feel inclined j
to say that certainly Jonesville and
Santuc need to build a warehouse,
and from the talk we heard at Santuc ^
yesterday, Santuc will probably build. ?
TIMES CORRESPONDENTS'
CLUB MEMBERS
}
A meeting of The Times Corre- '
spondents' Club was held Saturday ^
and the first Saturday in August was j
chosen as the day for our annua] out- r
ling. It was at first decided that we
would make a trip to the mountains 1
that day, but his idea was soon abandoned
for one suggested by a member
of the club. It was decided unanimously
that we make a regular booster trip, {
leaving Union in automobiles at 7 j
o'clock that morning, going to Santuc,
Carlisle, Whitmire and back to S
Union, arriving at Boatman Spring,
8 miles west of Union, at noon. There ^
a barbecue and fish fry will be awaitin
the Clug. At 1 o'clock the party
will leave Boatman Spring and make
a trip to Buffalo, West Springs, Spar- 1
tanburg, GafTney, Jonesville, Ijockhart (
| Junction, Kelly's, Adamsburg, Mt. Ta- j
bor, Lockhart and return to Union,ar- d
riving here about 7, p. m.; a distance s
of about 170 miles, going at about the '
rate of 17 miles an hour for the day's *
run. This itinerary may be changed
\
|later. The correspondents, in count- {
ng up the automobiles available
ound, that including the Editor's
bout 15 cars could be mustered for
he trip and there are more, probably,
hat can be had. EacK correspondent
'ho can furnish a car, is asked to do
'J
o. Those not in a position to do this
'ill be provided for here on the mornng
of the trip. I want every correslondent
to go on this trip. No matter
whether you write regularly or only
ccasionally, come on and go with ub.
'orrespondents who furnish a car will
ie allowed to take any guests that
hey may desire to take, the only
trovision being that one must be a
orrespondent who has no car. I am
loping that we may have not less
han 100 participants in the trip,
["went cars, each carrying five perons
will make the hundred. If there
ire any more it will be all the better.
Jut we must leave Union at 7 o'clock
n the morning to make the full round
if it. Each correspondent will bring
l lunch, but The Times will provide
he fish fry and barbecue. I will be
jlad to hear from each correspondent
lersonally, stating that you expect to
:o, and, if so, how many you can acommodate.
I think we can make this
i day of real recreation and that The
Times Correspondents' Club will be
lade stronger and better.

Augusta Housewife was "Set" in Her
Ways, and Nothing Was Qoing io
Change Her.
A man in an Augusta car seat talking
to another man who appears to bw
his friend:
"Persistent! Say, my wife is that
and some more. She is the most tenacious
to hnblt of any person I ever
saw. Once that woman has become
addicted to n habit there's no breaking
Iter. Honest, I think that if my
wife should ever by accident dtart
sweeping with the wrong end of a
broom she'd ne^er sweep any other
way, and no law of heaven and earth
could change her habit."
"Some persistent, Til say," agreed
the other.
"You bet," said the first speaker.
"Why. here last summer I put a bay
window on the front room of our
house. There was a week while we
were doing it that the whole end of
the house was open as a hay field in
August; there wasn't a single thing
to prevent man or animal entering our
house at any hour of daylight or darkness.
Fact! Rut what do yon think;
I couldn't make my wife understand
that it was, under those conditions, a
waste of time to lock the doors. Every
nighi and every time she went downstreet
she made a complete circuit of
the house, carefully locking doors and
windows, so's to keep the wicked folks
out-"?Kennebec Journal.

Cousin Robert from the country, had
come to dinner, and little Ethel had
been allowed to sit up as a great treat.
Now, Ethel Is one of those children
one meets nowadays who hear a great
deal too much for their years, and
moreover, who don't believe In the
saying about childre* not being heard.
You can't stay near dear little Ethel
without hearing quite a lot.
Which all gets on with the story of
the night when Cousin Robert came to
supper.
"Do have another helping of the potpie,
Robert!" said Ethel's mother, after
Robert had already caused two
platefuls to disappear.
"Well, Cousin Mary, I think I will,
since you are so pressing." replied the
guest.
"You win, mother!" exclaimed Ethel
suddenly; and mother, caught nap

asked:

morning that you bet a dollar that
Cousin Robert behaved like a pig!"
Individual Airplanes.
Whether or not the average citizen
welcomes the'ldca of Individual airplanes
Jaunting about In the air over
his head, the Inventors are busy
enough trying to invent them. Several
small planes are already more or
less on the way to such use In England,
Italy and France. One reads of
planes already perfected, and that
"small and light, and capable of being
landed at low speed, they nre Just the
type for flitting about the country,
from one club to another." Italy Is
said to have produced the smallest, a
trl-plane only 1H? feet wide, and requiring
for its operation "ahout as
much skill as the attachment of a
side-car to a motorcycle." Seeing,
says the adage. Is believing; and the
pedestrian who takes scant pleasure in
this notion of a gentleman flitting
about the country from one club to
another may well wonder how soon
he will t.fve to believe In them.

Peanut Oil Gaining Favor.
The production of peanut oil, including
both the cold-pressed and the hotpressed,
in the United States has increased
from 4."?4,000 pounds in 1012 to
90,924,000 pounds in 1918, an increase
of more than 21,000 per cent. The Importation
of peanut oil increased from
7,62G.(H)0 pounds in 1912 to C8.400.000
pounds in 1918. Practically all the imported
peanut oil Is hot-pressed. Complete
statistic* for 1919 are not yet
available.
It is appareut, say specialists, that
cold-pressed peanut oil is winning for
itsojf a place on the American table.
Justified by its flavor, nutritive value
and digestibility.
