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 .

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

CAMPAIGN CLIMAX
! 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

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.

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
