Bond Election Set Aside
New Election Called
The long fight for waterworks anc
sewerage for the town of Chesterfielc
entered another phase on Wednesday,
June 22nd, when the Town Council
met in special session, and, upon the
advice of their attorneys, passed a
resolution setting aside the bond elections
of April the 5th. They instructed
their attorney to file an answer
to the complaint in the waterworks
and sewerage temporary injunction
matter consenting to the relief prayed
for by the plaintiff-contestants.
Tho council took this action for
the best interest of the town. It will
oe rememncred that a tmporary injunction
against the selling of the
bonds had been obtained by some of
the citizens. The Town Council decided
thut to fight the cAse in court
would be expensive, adding further
to thc burden of the tafx-payers. It
might cause delay in the sale of the
bonds. Therefore, it instructed its attorneys
to consent to the complaint
and to serve the plaintiff's attorneys
with a copy of the town's answer in
the case.
But other important developments
quickly followed. A new petition was
drawn up asking for an election on
waterworks and sewerage. The petition
was circulated for two days, during
which time 94 property owners
in-the town of Chesterfield signed up,
making twelve more than the required
number to call the elections. This
is a larger number that had signed
the previous petition. It is estimated
to be sixty per cent of the free-holders.
The council met on Monday night
again when the petition was present
ed by Messrs J. A. Welsh and C. S.
P. Meehan.
After u careful checking of the
signatures against the tax books it
was decided a majority of the freeholders
had signified a desire for the
elections.
The elections were ordered for the

CO-OPERATION PAYS IN UNION
Clemson College, Jum; 25.?Two
recent instances of the money value
of co-operation have come from the
Union County farmers, one of these
concerning the purchase of fertilizer
by pooling orders and the other concerning
the sale of cotter by pooling
offerings.
When local farmer.? were ready to
purchase nitrate of soda they were
told by County Agent W. L). Wood
that they could effect a saving of
$10.00 per ton by pooling their or
ders and buying in carload lots. Upon
receipt of this informaeion the farmers
came not by ones and twos, but
by the dozens to join the purchasing
pool and in one week's time over
150 tons were ordered co-operatively
at a net saving of $1500, thus illustrating
that another way to reach
.? man's heart besides through his
stomach is through his bocketbook.

WOODROW WILSON
ADMITTED TO EAR
Washington, June 25.?-WoodrowWilson
appeared in person today in
the chambers of Chief Justice McCoy,
of the District of Columbia Supreme
Court, to he admitted to the practice
of law before that court.
A- special session of the court was
called for the purpose of admitting
Mr. Wilson, the court having previously
amended its rules so that former
Presidents and Vice Presidents of
the Uniter States who are lawyers,
might be admitted to practic without
application or other formality.
Mr. Wilson was accompanied to the
court by his law partner, Bainbrdge
Colby, former Secretary of State,
and by Joseph P. Tumulty, formerly
his private secretary. The admission
of the former Chief Executive was
moved by John Paul Ernest, chair
| man 01 mc examining committee, and
the usual oath was uuu.instcred by
Morgan H. Beach, clerk of courts.
At the conclusion of the cememony
the Chief Justice briefly welcomed i
Mr. Wilson to the membership of the
Bar.
A WISE JUDGE
It is said that some of the town
council were in favor of carrying on
the fight for waterwoks in the courts,
whither it had been taken by a group
of citizens. It was the contention of
these members that courts are very
loth to set aside the will of the majority
aft expressd at the polls for a
technicality, especially when that
will is for progress.
But it is said that a learned judge,
who had been called in advised them
thusly:
nave any oi you gentlemen ever
hunted foxes?"
Some said they had.
"Well," said the judge, "when j
your pack of dogs becomes divided,!
what do you do? A divided pack will
never catch the fox. You have to call
off your dogs and start over. It is1
about the same when a town is di-'
vided. At least I would advise you to i
call off the election and try again. If
you don't gel them all to run together,
you will, at least have a larg
er pack the second time."
The council took his advise.
By Far
the pooling of farm products and scll;ng
in large quantities pay?" is found
in the experience of one Union county
farmer who had a small lot of 11
bales of cotton to sell. A local buyer
offered him a price on this lot, which
was not accepted. Later on that day
the same lot of 11 bales was sold to
the .same buyer in a pool of 400
bales, the difference in the price re*
ceived in the pool and that offered in
the small lot being so great as to
1 amount to the price of two bales.
I Through just such experiences as
these farmers in Union county and
throughout South Carolina are learni
ing that co-operation in the form of
buying and selling pools is an impor|
tant phase of the modern farmer's
I business.
