Thp letter "To All Game War dens" which has been sent to The County Record for publication by Game Warden Moseley, of this county, is self-explanatory and needs no | comment here. We don't know that it even applies to Williamsburg citizens. We hardly think any of them are so unsportsmanlike as to take the under advantages of fish that are described in the Chief Game Warden's letter but as a warning to the "inno cent" we publish it as official advertising matter.

Bat I will stop here as I think perhaps it all may be caused by the late sleeping. What do you think? On the morning of the 16th I was standing at the Window about day-break, and to my surprise a Bob-White was within about ten feet of me right here on Academy street. ? The thing that surprised me was when he raised up and said: "Where are you; Where are you?" I take it for granted that his mate answered him, "down toward the river. You oaght to have seen that bird go out of the tree?a rifle ball could not nave overtaken him.

To All Game Wardens: In the Pamphlet of Bird, Game and Non-Migratory Fish Laws of South Carolina, published by authority of W. H. Gibbes, Chief Game Warden of South Carolina, in April, 1920, there is a failure to incorporate, Act No. 286 of the Acts of 1918, which Aci, in part, says: "There shall be a close time in all the creeks, streams and inland waters of the state from the setting of thq sun each Saturday until the rising of the sun each Wednesday, during which time all seines, nets or any plan or device for the stoppage or collecting of fish, which obstructs any poition of any creek, stream or inland waters other than a dam for manufacturing purposes, shall be removed from said creeks, streams or inland waters; and any person or persons using such seine, net, plan or device in violation cf the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof before any Court of competent jurisdiction, shall be fined in the sum of two hundred dollars, one-half of which shall go to the informer and the other half to the Court in which the case shall be tried, or be imprisoned for a period of not less than three nor more than six months, or both, in the discretion of the Court trying the case. Nothing herein contained shall apply to fishing with dip nets used by hand. And wherever any seine, net or plan or device for the stoppage or collcct'ng of fish, as above stated, shall be used, the Chief Game Warden or any Warden shall have the authority, in the rame of the state, to seize and hold said seine, net or plan or device for the stoppage or collecting of fish, and to use the same as evidence for the purpose of convicting any person violating the provisions of this section; and upon conviction of the person so using said seine, net or plan or device for the stappage or collecting of fish, the same shall be forfeited to the state ' 11 Al ?poi/J coin tn and soia, xne prut-ecus ui sam be transmitted to the cre<lit of the Game Protection Fund". Approved the 12th day of February, A. D. 1918." On May 12, 1921, I took this matter up with the Attorney Genreal, and his opinion is: "I find no amendment or repealing Act changing the provisions of this section in the respect that it requires a 'close time' in creeks, streams and inland waters of the state. In my opinion, this provision is still in vffect, (Signed) Sam'l M. Wolfe, Attorney Genreal. On account of this law not having been enforced for the past few years, it is very probable that many people may be under the impression that the law has been repealed, and for this reason I wish you to publish this letter in your county newspapers in order that the people may be advised. I hereby advise you that you vigorously enforce the provisions of the above mentioned law after you have published same in the newspapers. This is a very important law, and if properly enforced, will do more to protect the Fish 01 our siaw; man any other one law upon the statute books. Very truly yours, , ' A. A.

Notwithstanding the very bad weather, quite a large crowd was present and all enjoyed the occasion. Several prominent speakers were expected, among them, Messrs. M. A. Shuler, County Superintendent McCullough and H. E. Montgomery, of Kingstree, but owing to the rain and bad roads none were able to attend. Notwithstanding the many drawbacks, the occasion was a perfect success. Thursday evening was devoted to plays and recitations by the jounger children, which were all greatly enjoyed by those present. Friday evening the graduating ex ercises were held, and Miss Rosa J. Redgers read her essay, "'Life is What We Make It'', in a clear and charming manner. Miss Rodgers has studied hard, and her essay was remarkably good. Aftet aids a play entitled "Vera's Vacation", was given, which closed the exorcises. This school has made marked progress the past session, and ranks with the be.?t in the county. The music for the occasion was furnished by Mr. George Cooper and B. W. McElveen and was greatly enjoyed. o Use Springfield Duster or Auto Sprayer for applying any poison on tobacco or Cotton. Kingstree Hardware Company. o? 666 cures Malarial Fever. Co-Operative Marketing ^ ,JI ' ii The Lnited States Bureau of Mar-! | I kets reports that there are about four- = teen thousand farmers' buying and,? selling organizations scattered all ov- J er the United States. From this it is p evident that American farmers are ?| i awake to the necessity of their taking M ' a hand in the business of distributing I their products. Some of these buying and selling organizations are cooper- B ative, that is, they arc organized with- p out capital stock and pay no stock div- jj idends, all proceeds less costs being jg prorated among the members accord- I ing to the amount of business done 1 j through the organization. Others are i S I stock company organizations, and the | ? farmers who own stock receive mar-! p ket prices for their products, plus(p stock dividends provided the organiza-! H J tion makes a profit. This kind of I farmers' organization is very similiar B to an ordinary corporation and is of , little value from the growers stand- I ! point for the reason that its prime ob- B ' ject is to pay its stockholders divi- I Idends on capital stock. Like other I corporations, it tries to buy as cheaply as possible ami sell as high as pos' sible. J Some of these organizations combine | in various ways features of both the stock company dividend-paying organization and the non-stock, purely cooperative associations. For example, some of them limit the dividends payable cn stock to 6 or 7 per cent, and provide that any profits realized above such per cents shall be paid out to i the farmers who buy or sell through the organization. The amounts thus paid is based on the promise of the I paid out to patrons are called patron- 1 ! age dividends. The payment of pat- I j tronage dividends is based on the I promise of the patrons are as necesa- I j ry to the success of an organization I as is the capital stock and therefore entitled to receive a share of the profits realized in the marketing operation. Pure cooperative marketing, on the other hand, means the taking over of the marketing process or of certain j parts of it by growers on a basis of I equal risk and equal profits. No capI ital stock is necessary under this plan i and all receipts from the sale of products, less costs of selling, are returned to growers in payment for the products marketed. Thus we see that the thousands of farmers' buying and selling organizations throughout the country make use of the principles of cooperation m every possible degree of variation from the pure cooperative plan to the ordinary stock corporation plan. I The six main principles underlying the successful marketing of farm I products on the purely cooperative I plan may be stated as follows: (1) The basis of such association I shall be a single crop or commodity f and not a combination of crops which I are marketed in unlike manner. Xeith- | er is the association organized merely by counties or other political division but rather over the entire territory I where the4 particular commodity is produced. i (2) Membership is limited to grow- , ers and to landlords who receive a part of the crop as rental. (3) Each member enters a binding contract with the association agree ? <-- fV,0 asenfiation tor I ing iu iuiii v>ci wv w.v. its resale value all of the commodity I which comes into his possession as a j grower. The association markets that commodity for nobody except members. (4) The commodity is all graded and each grade is marketed as a "pool'. The members all receive the same price per unit for the same grade of product. \ (5) Competent market men who .have had practical successful experience in marketing the particular commodity are employed by the association to handle the marketing work of the association. Such marketing work is not a job for amateurs. (6) Such an association is set up and operated on the basis of the crop contracts and without capital stock. I It is, therefore a non-stock and nondividend paying association. o __Rub-My-Tism for Rheumatism. ; o ?
