I GEO. K. LANEY - - ^ - - FOR GOVERNOR VOL. 40?NO. 34 CHESTERFIELD C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1922 *4 $1.;>0 A YEAR IN ADVANCE SEN. CHRISTENSI CO-OPERA Florence, Aug. 18.?Good prices for tobacco and tho atmosphere of confidence and relief make this section of the State a pleasant one to visit, "according to the view of Senator Neil Christensen of Beaufort. He is here today to meet the directors of the Florence Chamber of Commerce and discuss certain activities of the South Carolina Devolopment Board, of which he is president. Mr. Christensen.reports that there is no tobacco in his end of the State as they are taken up with truck: But he is intensely interested in the co-operation movement. Asked for an interview, he offered the following suggestion: "Good prices for truck down our way has been greatly helped for over six years by our Truck Growers' Associaton. While they are not all in it; but all benefit by it and xecognized that fact. So, two years ago when the Clemson College Extension Service through Dr. W. W. Long, showed me a proposed co-operative marketing act, it at once enlisted my support. The Development Board put itself behind the effort, and we got the bill enacted into law in 1920. iSince then several cooperative organizations have been formed, but the 'Tobacco Growers are the first to market under its provision. "It is of the greatest importance to the whole co-operative movement in the South that their tobacco association makes a clean cut success. 'Loyalty to this farmers organization is needed. Loyalty, active loy:alty, by "every man, woman and rchild who has any interest in crop prices, by bankers, merchants and professional men as well as farmers. "Organized buyers under the old system are bound to fight you. Certain truck comission houses have bought our farmers truck association. They have done it. persistently and -without quarter. I am'told that certain truk commission houses have iing that here. If they succeed prices will go down. "How it is possible that any farm *sr ur ttiiyune ut'penueni on me prosperity of their section can tolerate :snch opposition is hard to understand. "There is no quarrel with the fair and open competition of indepenl. dent buyers, nor with the farmer who exercises his right to sell where he please*, thouh we do not approve his jubgment, but when they attack the co-operatives it is hard to excuse them. 'The farmer who sells independently, if he has any intelligence, knows that his increased prices are due to the co-operatives. So even if he can convince himself that he should : stay on the outside to get all the " benefits without sharing the burdens : yet he should have sense enough to : see that it is his interest to have the o operative in the field. "But you folks know all this better than I do, and they may feel that we outsiders are too free with advice. But I have this excuse, the eo* ? operative movement is the hope of all . the farms of all setions, and we truck< ers want it to succeed for tobacco, :and cotton, and sweet potatoes, and i livestock. You tobacco people are on tthe firing line today and we want you know the rest of us are with you. % Lip our battle too." .ZACHERY?CABLE Mar.* *1 Wednesday morning, by Rev. F. M. Cai?n?n. Mr. Ora O.

F. Conradi, Entomologist, niu this morning after the weekly con- trii ference in Director Long's office on ' the boll weevil situation. Other facts dal and suggestions developed at the con- ( ference are given below. ^ The weather conditions are vari- for able throughout the state, ranging ge, from extreme wet weather in some ? locahties to extreme drought in oth- jjn, crs. In many fields in the central ch, and souhern parts of the state there wo is little fruiting at this time, because of excessive natural shedding com- cjjj bincd wth weevil punctures. In dry r areas in the Piedmont section natur- ijn, al shedding is very heavy, although q1)( weevil infestation is comparatively wjt light. But the falling off of fruit is car generally attributed by farmers to ^cr, the boll weevil. Much Failure Due To Wet Weather jjn. The general weather conditions at en, this time resemble those of last year, although the same extremes do not ^er exist in the same localities in irrery jnp case. The weather damage at this bul time should not be overlooked by farvnn>rs, and every effort should be jjn] made to get most careful and impar- jov tial estimates of the percentage ol an( their crop loss due to weevil and t: iosl percentage due to natural shedding. ]es.

W...W...VV i v-u IIIUI, "JWIUK v to heavy continuous rainfall in cor- on tain aaalions of the state; there would likely have been a crop failure ^re regardless of boll weevil. This is im- 0l<j portant for people to consider so that they may not get the idea that cot- ijru ton can no longer be grown success- j]fc, fully. There were cotton failures on jml account of Weather long before the ?j boll weevil came. njtj the MORE LETTERS FROM wh?

THINK Dear Editor and Voters of Chester. 111 field County: On the 29th of August the voters ' Pc of this county will cast their votes 1 and elect men to county and state of- ' 1S fices. Before we cast our votes we 83 should know what we are doing and ' ie not make a mistake and vote for some m one thai will not serve the people in the county, hut who will do the coun n ty good. If you will just stop and a consider what "Serving the County" es really means you will get a great ' meaning out of it. So please stop to 1 ? think and pick your man that you fully believe will serve the people of this county as a whole, that will not ' ie be influenced by any individual or '' se any selfish motive, but a man - when ee he has served his time, we can say d. we are proud of the way and manner re that man has served us. id I feel that if we all join in and n- elect Mr. W. L. McCoy, of McBee, to h- represent us in the General Assembe: ly, we will do a good deed for our e? county. Mr. McCoy is a big hearted id man and I do not believe he has a he selfish bone in him. He is always will? ing to help out in any good cause, and in is never too hasty in making a decis">d ion but considers everything careit, fully before making his decision. He R- has ho'ped individuals in Ms o< nmunity; he has helped his community le in which he lives; he h*s helped the ne county in which he lives; he has been en very successful for himself and is al-' of ways anxious and wanting to help I he others. or He has offered to leave his interest in and around McBee and go to Columbia and serve the people of his ?. county, which I am sure if elected will make all those who help to elect him proud of sending him there. Also at those who do not vote for Him will be he proud of him and the manner in n- which he will serve the county, or i hope you all will think of this <>n THE COUNTY'S DEBT I fv \l) I here has been so much loose talk i of lute about the county's finances; that it is deemed advisable to make a brief statement concerning the same. The county has now a debt of $200,000.

This last loan was for %" road vdork and other incidentals. It ')0 is believed that this loan would not have been negotiated had taxes been cu paid prompMy. There arc now about ,m 3,500 tax executions read;, for the " sheriff on September 1.
