THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1922
THE COOPERATIVE MARKET.
Although it was not generally understood
in the county that the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative market
would begin functioning here on Monday,
there was a good representation
of citizens present from many sections
of the county, also there were
a number of Kingstreeans in attendance
at the old Kellahan and Nelson
warehouses to see the machinery of
the great cooperative plan of marketing
tobacco get in motion, which
it did as if it had all been thoroughly
overhauled and lubricated for the
occasion. Indeed it was surprising
how smoothly and precisely the work
of the great organization started off.
And from observation and what I
we are able to gather from conversation
with men who are placing their
tobacco with the Association, it is
our opinion that a new era has dawned
for the tobacco growers of South
Carolina. It would be unreasonable
to expect the association to function
perfectly and to the entire satisfaction
of each and every member at
the beginning, but we believe that
when the present crop is finally disposed
of there will be more satisfaction
among our tobacco growers
than ever prevailea at the closing of |
a ' seasi n under the old metlicd of j
selliag ;.t auction and taking whatever
the buyers and pinhc okers chose
to pay.
Again we say, the transformation
was no less than marvelous. The
lODacco piaceti on uie mueuvuao
floor here was not ail as finely graded
and tied as wc might expect to
see on the older markets of Virgin-i
ia and North Carolina, where people
have been raising and grading tobacco
for scores of years and are experts,
but the cooperative marketing
system is such a vast improvement
over the old method of piling
the loose leaves all together, that
we vonder how it was all accomplished
in so short a time. Certainly our
people, those who grow tobacco, deserve
commendation.
Under the present system of handling
and marketing, tobacco is worth
more to the purchaser, and the grower
is receiving more than when he
offered it loose and ungraded. We
believe that in the course of time the
cooj?erative method will entirely supplant
the old auction method of sell
ing, but our people must not expect
too much in the wry of success at
the beginning, but will remember
that it requires time, patience and
perseverance to make any great undertaking
a success.
There is one more chance for candidates
to get their card in The County
Iiecord before the 19th of August,
on which date the list of candidates
will be closed and all pledges must
be filed and fees paid. The people
of Williamsburg want good and competent
men and women to offer for
office within their gift and there
is yet plenty of room in the ring for
either sun bonnets or sombreros.

DURWARD DUDLEY HHE.M
By James Henry Rice, Jr., in
Columbia State.
A telegram informs me of the death
today of Durward Dudley Rhem, at
his home, Rhem, on Black Mingo
creek. Williamsburg county.
This is the last of two notable <
brothers, the younger. Fumifold ]
Rhem, having died some years ago
as the result of a bite from a pet
menkey.
On April 1, 1899, u cold, freezing ,
day, I drove fiom Georgetown up the ]
Black River road to Rhem. where for
the first time I met these two broth- ]
ers at their main store. They had a
chain of stores, did a large turpen-'
tine business and ran immense farms.,
They sold 75,000 acres of land en;
bloc to the Atlantic Coast Lumber j
company at Georgetown.
Their hospitality was ideal and ov-j
erflowing. Xo man sat at their tables i j
without having a recollection of it 5
to the end of his days. To every ,
friend the freedom of those vast acres ]
belonged of right, and everything on \
them. j
At this time the region swarmed <
with game. Deer, wild turkey, par- <
tridges, doves, ducks, anything the j
hunter sought, was to be found in
profusion. Xo man could go away ,
empty handed. If he could not kill I
game, it was killed for him and he .
was loaded down.
T Tomne F Rliflrtrj Af tllP KfW ?
i tVUa ooiiivc ju? v* ?..v
York Life Insurance company, up
there, and Charles R. Flint, of New
York City. General Hampton, accompanied
by Colonel Thomas Taylor
and Evander R. Mclver, went there
to hunt, the late P. A. Wilcox being
chaperon of the party. All had
a wonderful time ar.d freely expressed
themselves so.
The Rhem brothers were devoted
and inseparable. Furnifold lived at
Morrisville, four miles away, but dai- 5
ly went to Rhem. Rome was within [
a few miles and just beyond it at the
old Indiantown settlement, so rich
in historic association and thickly
populated with gentlemen and gentle- :
women.
Cedric, the Saxon, never entertained
half so many people nor enter- i
tained them half so well as did these
superb planters and merchants.
The Rhems Were not only big business
men, they were the finest citi- :
zens, enlisted in every good cause,
seeing clearly and working for the
best interest of the state and the
community.
Such establishments as they ran at
Rhem, Morrisville and elsewhere will
probably never again be seen in South
Carolina; for, with the passing of the
planters, conditions have changed utterly.
The new order may be bigger j
and better than the old. No man [
knows; but what we do know is that >
never again can there be anything !
like this. |
The last time I saw the two oth- ?
ers was in Charleston, in 1916, togeth- ,
er at the last as they were at the
first, a memory- that may not perish,
but must endure.
The remark of an educated Pennsylvanian,
when he first knew the Rhems
and their country, comes back to me.
He said:
"If a man came here who was not
a gentleman and lived for a while,
the association would make a gentleman
out of him." i
Black Mingo, celebrated for Revolutionary
incident, has no finer thing
to hand down to posterity than the
memory of these brothers, widely
known, and loved and respected whereever
known.
They have by their lives made an
* 1 11 Uie+Artr
lnvaiuaoie coniriuuuun w uic *
of the state. It would be well ii the
record of such citizenship were preserved,
that coming generations may
ponder thereon and be wiser and better.
t
A state's enduring monuments lie
in the hearts of its good citiznes, who
are living witnesses and through their
descendants bear perpetual testimony
to departed worth.
