G, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1922 PRICE $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE VOLUME 37?NO. 19 ? ???' i i 1 IS YOUR NAME OFH They Are Off?The Bars Are Awards Offered By The Forth Long List 0 ~"V TWENTY DOLLARS J i He Highest Bonos Credit Of Wise Will Take A Credi ??? The announcement of a great sub- j scription campaign with a list of val- , * liable awards offered as compensation to members, attracted instant attention, as we knew it would. The campaign is not put on by The ( County Record as a money-making venture, nor as a popularity contest, but purely as a campaign to secure greater circulation in Williamsburg and the adjoining counties, where there are several hundred possible, I subscribers, and to allow the present ' patrons to pay past due accounts and , renew for a year or two in advance. Awards Worth While. Instead of paying salaries of nu- 1 merous solicitors, there has been set aside a fund for awards worth in the aggregate, with the cash that will be given to-,those who do not * win an award, $1^00, which will be \ * distributed to successful members, f The County Record wishes it un- 4 derstood at the beginning that the ( campaign is not an ordinary news .paper subscription scheme. It is a i straight, out-and-out business under- 5 taking in which The County Record 5 sets out to attain a definite, legiti- * mate end, in a manner that will ap-'1 P~1 to those who would be salesmen.! A special feature of the campaign is the fact that everyone who takes! an active part will earn either one ( of the awards, offered or a cash commission. The members will get paid - Ml for what they do, and no one win do anything for nothing. < The First List. 1 We print in this issue the names 1 of nominees received up until noon, i Wednesday, July 12th. The list * shows that the people of this section i realize the full merit of the propo- j sition The County Record is placing J before them. If your name is not,l in this list, send it in today. j1 First Credits Big. ' An exceptionally high credit is of- 1 fered at the beginning of the cam-;' paign, as this credit is earned with ( a very small amount of business as 1 compared with what will be neces-,' sary to earn the same credit a little ! later on. So those who secure these 1 credits during the early part of the 5 campaign will have a decided advan- * tage over members who enter at aj! latlsr date. This method protects 1 v those who have made the campaign ^ a success, from any would-be eleventh ' 1 hour entrant. Cash Awards. "* * (On August 1st, $20 in cash will be awarded. $10 will go to the member living in Kings tree who has turned in the greatest amount of cash subscription buteiness up until . that time; $10 will go ot the member outside of Kingstree turning in! . ^ -x v.._i??.: * fthe next greatest amount oi uuamca^; up to that time. 1 ; Get Started Early.

ST 1 TO SOMEBODY Effect Now?Those Who Are Opportunity These fort A FINE LOT OF BOYS So Say the People at Murrels Inlet of Onr Scouts. (By Rev. Jno. W. Davis) The Boy Scouts with their Scout Master returned to Klngstree over a week ago, but they are still talking of their fine trip to Murrells Inlet. The camping site was ideal. The name given to their camp was Sea Oak. There was an abundance of fish ?such as flounders, whiting, trout, mullet, shrimp, crab, oysters, etc.,? never has there been a happier and better-behaved troop of boys as was tola them by the residents of Murrells Tnlet There was a girl's camp about two miles below Sea Oak. The gentleman and lady in charge of this camp were so deeply impressed with the manly behavior of our boys, that they brought their girls to our camp and said "We want our girls to meet your bays?and we want your boys to visit our camp." Scoutmaster Davis could not resist nor would he have been so unkind as to resist the pleading eyes and suggestive grunts and clearing-up of throats of his fine boys. He was pleased at such compliments and quickly granted these requests. We feel certain that the stay of certain boys was made much happier by the nresence of these vounjr ladies, and we feel certain also that these young ladies' stay was made much pleasanter. These were not the only young ladies who favored us or were favored by us. The lack of space forbids the Scoutmaster going further into detail. But he would like to say that the people were very courteous, and truly kind and hospitable. The residents told him more than once to make their stay longer and some almost begged him to bring?not hisself but his boys?to Murrells Inlet again. The Scoutmaster desires to express his and his troop's thanks to those who made it possible for him and his Scouts to enjoy that wonderful experience and privilege that come to those and only those who have been to the beach. He and his troop are deeply indebted to Mr. ^ T \f*? Flnnoon flflTYlhlp JLS. O. auu mil u?iivuu for their assistance. The Scoutmaster is greatly pleased to tell the parents and friends of his boys, that the people at the Inlet told him that he had the best behaved and most considerate troop or company of boys that had ever been there. That is enough to make the parents and friends glad, and to assure them that they truly should be proud and thankful for such boys. He unhesitating ly says that although his boys are real boys?the kind he love's?full of fun and frolic, he challenges any person to find a finer troop or company of boys anywhere. The troop owes money. The boys were assessed only three dollars each for the entire trip. The cost was about five dollars per scout. In view of this and that the troop may make its finances, not beg them, they are to play the Scouts of Summerton here, next Tuesday or Wednesday. The small Scouts will play in the morning and^he large Scouts in the afternoon. Khe Scoutmaster asks that the ewire community show its further^n>proval and sanction of this spjrodid organization by attending n?omoe vucoc 51WHVU. o??? (2.

STAGED IN WILSON i OFFICIALS AND MEMBERS OF TOBACCO ASSOCIATION CELEBRATE SUCCESS. ; The world's largest cooperative ! marketing association entered the world's largest tobacco market at Wilson, N. C., on Saturday, Jdly 8th, , marking the climax of the whirlwind campaigns in the Carolinas which i have resulted in a ten thousand increase in membership for the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Association ! within the past ten wee is. Oliver J. Sands, executive manager of the association of 75,000 tobacco growers addressed the mammoth meeting of tobacco growers, merchants and bankers from Eastern Carolina. More than a thousand contracts a week have been pouring steadily into Raleigh headquarters and mark the successful campaigning which continues in South Carolina, Virginia and Eastern North Carolina. The recent statement of C. C. Carrington, president of $ie United States Tobacco Association, that the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association is now grown into a formidable rival to the independent dealers and warehousemen, has been followed by some of the most hostile advertising which has yet appeared in opposition to the organized growers. This opposition is stirring the grow ers to redouble their efforts, anu i more than 600 contracts from Virginia have come in since the recent meetings at South Boston, Chatham, Gretna, Burkeville, Amelia and Drakes Branch and Bedford, where Senator Borah, Oliver J. Sands, J. Y. Joyner,' Joseph M. Hurt >and other leaders of the cooperative addressed thousands of growers. Severely arraigning the men who have fostered rumors that extrava-j gant salaries are paid the officials of the marketing association, Oliver J. Sands, executive manager has authorized the following statement. 1 "There are some people so selfish 1 1 tViair cannnt ailU llttl 1UWUU11UCU MUAV Wiv/ believe that there are business men! living in Virginia, North Carolina and; South Carolina who are willing to' devote their tim* and talents, to the service of the people and their states. "These people have stated that I am receiving large compensation for my services. This I deny, I am working in this wholy because I believe it will be of great benefit to our people, and I know that if wtf help the fanner we help all the people.": "I will receive reward in personal satisfaction and in the same manner as every other merchant and banker," says Mr. Sands who asked 'Why is it that cooperative marketing is increasing and growing wherever it has been tried?" and pointing out that a few years ago three hundred million ^dollars of products were mar-! keted through cooperative associa tions, and that this year more tftan one billion dollars worth of farm product will be sold by cooperative j associations. With 58 per cent, of the tobacco crop of South Carolina on signed' contracts listed by growers, by pounds and acres at Raleigh headquarters of the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Association, officials of the organized tobacco growers here yesterday dismounted the report of independent warehousemen that only 26 per cent +Vir, Pamlina croD was sign-1 VI bUV UVUVM w- w ed with the cssociation. Hundreds of new contracts arriving daily from South Carolina are pushing the large majority membership of the big producing, counties to higher percentage each week. Williamsburg county now passes a 90 per cent, sign-up, Florence county is steadily climbing from 80 to 90 per cent, and # Darlington county which signed over a hundred growers in the last few days is close to the three-quarter mark, i Robeson county sent in 72 contracts in a single day last week and is now close to a 90 per cent membership. S. D. Frissel. - ? o To Be Married. Friends of the contracting parties here have received the following invitation: "Mr. and Mrs. John W.

CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN OPENED AT HEMINGWAY MONDAY?B A RRINGER, PATE AND STOLL SPEAK. The first guns of the sixth district Congressional campaign were fired at Hemingway Monday when candidates Barringer, Pate and Stoll set forth their individual claim to the office for which a selection will be made at the approaching primary election. Candidate Gasque for congress and McLeod for solicitor were oVioonf fnrm?r nn #<vniint; rtf th<> c illness of his wife and the latter because of the convening of court in Sumter. ' The meeting at Hemingway was presided over by the Rev. G. B. In graham. Mr. W. R. Barringer of m Florence was the first candidate to * speak. He referred to his hardships * in life and as having had to stop school when only sixteen years old when he launched into a business career, which as every one who known him, knew to be a success. He referred especially to his activities and cooperation in the upbuilding of Florence, of which city he is now mayor, of the wonderful strides it is making under his administration. Mr. Barringer also referred to his work as president of the Red Cross society i in Florence during the World War and to his activities in connection with the National Highway commission. He paid very high tribute to the ladies of the land ana tola nis audience that having studied law and being admitted to the bar gave him additional ability to serve the people in congress. Mr. J. Fv Pate was the next speaker. He paid laudable tribute to the womanhood of South Carolina and urged them to enroll their names on the polling lists of their respective precincts and to cast their vote at the coming primary. He, like Mr. . Barringer, spoke of the hardships he had encountered in life, although oily 33 years old. Said he was born on a rented farm; had represented his county in the General Assembly while attending the University of Sooth Carolina, and is now county chairman of Darlington. Mr. Pate was followed on the speakers stand by the Hon. Philip . H. Stoll, present representative of the sixth district in the national congress. Mr. Stoll made a very forcible speech and impressed his audience with what he had to say. He told his hearers that being a congressman was not as small a job as some might immagine, that it was a position of importance and responsibility and in a general way outlined the duties of the office. He thought it was unwise to change a congressman often, pro- J vided he is honest and does his duty; he thought he should be retained in office as he has become familiar with the details of the work, and by reason of being a member of the Committee on Military affairs which gives him advantages in serving his constituents. As a member of this committee he has to do with the handling of the "?Ioom +/-i Henrv Ford. ' IUUSUC kJiivcuj W , a proposition which he is hartily in favor of. Mr. Stol1 explained at some length and in detail the advantages he believed the farmers of the South would derive from this source. Mr. Stoll was generously applauded at the conclusion of his speech. For Solicitor. Mr. John G. Dinkins of Manning made a very favorable impression on the audience. His remarks were clear, straight-forward and manly. Uo KoMr Ktr nvnrpscincr his rpcrets w?r.%-w-.0 ?? ?0 that his opponent, Mr. McLeod, the present solicitor was unable to be present by reason of his duties as solicitor. He chalanged anybody to search his record and invited the people of Hemingway to ask the people of Manning, his home town, as to his capacity. He was mindful of the duties and responsibilities of the office of solicitor and promised to do his duty and do it well if elected as their next solicitor. The meeting was attended by only about 50 men and eight ladies. The small number of men present was due to the fact that they were busy The candidates are at Andrew today. . / o Rev.
