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.

Editor County Record:
Inasmuch as one of our names has
gotten into the newspapers as being
assaulted and beaten by one. M. J.
Fields, of Charleston, we feel it our
duty to . make certain statements
through your paper to our friends.
The undersigned went to Charles- i
ton at the request of the shipping
board to join the merchant marine.
At about 1:30 p. m., Tuesday, May
17, on Market street between Meeting
and King we were set upon by some
where between fifty and one hundred
striking men. Some cf us managed
to break away, but three of us were
beaded by force toward the wharf, at
the comer of Market and "Meeting.
wo nflTpvpd such telling resis
tance that a number of the seamen
were knocked down. A policeman
finally came up and the mob scattered
leaving only one, the said Fields,
under arrest. Some of us got some
bruises but we are candid in saying
we throughly enjoyed the experience.
Our observation assures us that the
real condition in Charleston is not
made public by the newspapers.

? A Great Tiro- When
Mr. Editor:
Let me tell you that Kingstree is
getting to be some noted place, especially
for its kindness to the birds.
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. Well, Mr. Editor, if
the Kingstree boys who get married
go home to their -wives as fast as Hob
White went to his .mate, it will be a
great time in this old town.

Special Notice.
Columbia, S. C., May 17. 1921.
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. RICHARDSON,
Chief Game Warden.

School Closing at Nesmith
Xesmith Graded school held commencement
exercises on the evenings
of Thursday and Friday, 12th and
13th. 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.

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.
