Entered as second-class matter at the postofflce at Chesterfield, South Carolina. THE FIRST WOMAN SENATOR There is without doubt more poli- 1 tics in the State of Georgia to the square foot than anywhere else in the United States. As soon as Senator Thomas E. Watson was buried the political pot in Georgia not only began to boil, but boiled over. Lightning rods shot up in every direction by which the owners hoped to catch the electric spart that would light up the path leading to the Senate Chamber at Washington. To change the metaphor, the men who wanted to catch the mantle of Tom Watson were standing in rows thick as sorghum cane and were trying to be just as sweet. Men wanted the Watson mantle to fall on them who were not at all "died in the wool" Watson men when the Senator was living, but were enthasiastic Watson men with Watson in his grave.. There was rather a peculiar situation developed, however, that put some of the would-be Senators out of the running. The man who could get the undivided support of the Watson contingent would have the balance of power that would make it difficult for any other man, no matter how able or how good a Democrat, to v beat him. But here comes the rub. Where is the man who can measure up to the Watson standard as his followers comprehend that standard? As James B. Nevin writes in The Atlanta Georgian: "There is at the present writing no outstanding figure in Georgia capable of taking Mr. Watson's place as the leader of the so-called Watson clan; there is no one in whom the Watson following has the confidence?unswerving, unquestioning and uncompromising?that it had in its late chief. "Mr. Watson in his lifetime like the Sultan, 'brooked no brother near the throne.' "Time and again leaders, supposed1.. i.: u?..A ijr tiuac w uiiiif iiuvt* uxiucim^cii iu speak for him, only to have him follow their promulgations with a staging declaration that he would 'do his own talking.' Never in his life did he delegate general authority to anyone in respect to his opinions." All of this, however, is preliminary to the main consideration about present conditions in Georgia politics. A primary election has been called for October 17th, that will settle the .aspirations of the many candidates who seek to wear the mantle of the deceased and much lamented Senator. However, there u, a brief interim before the Novembei election, during which time Georgia would have no Senator unless onn should be appointed by the Governor. Georgia's governor arosfe to the occasion and appointed to that position one of that State's most noted women, Mrs. W. H. Felton, a personal friend and admirer of the late Senator. Mrs. Felton is 87 years of age and is active and engaged in literary work. In appointing her Governor Hardwick introduced an innovation in politics, as no other woman has ever been elected or appointed that, body before. As Congress is not in session, Mrs. Felton's only duty between the time of taking the oath of office and the election, Novemher 7th, will be endorsing a check from Uncle Sam for her saiary for the unexpired term of Senator Watson. c PI t ikio r?/\ki*rn ir?T i IUII jc.ui<inu v-wii i i\?V/ i PROVES BINDING ON MEMBERS Columbia, Oct. 9.?An injunction restraining John R. Pope, of Marlboro County, from disposing of any of his cotton except through the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative Association, was served upon Mr. Pope at his hime some eight miles from Bennettsville, it was announced by officials of the South Carolin Cotter. Growers' Co-operative Association. The injunction was granted by Judge T. J. Mauldin in Columbia Thursday on complaint filed by Douglas McKay, State counsel of the cooperative association, alleging that Mr. Pope has disposed of some cotton which he had contracted to sell through the Association. The complaint alleged that Mr. Pope had sold this cotton at Cheraw. Mayor Jofiiah .1 Rvnna nf Rpnn?Huvillo in uu. sociated with Mr. McKay in the case. Officials of the Association stated that Mr. Pope was the only member out of the over 11,000 members of the organization that they have been forced to bring legal proceedings against. Not another allegation of violation of the contract has been made, it was said. Under the provisions of the special act passed at the 1921 session of the General Assembly any member of the association violating the contract is liable to a penalty of five cents a pound on all cotton sold outside of the Association. "Tho great majority of the farmers who signed the contract did so because of its binding features," said "Thara is practically unanimous 4 sentiment among our members that the Association vigorously enforce the contract and that every provision of the special act passed by the General Assembly be taken advantage of in ] its enforcement. This we propose , to do." In Oklahoma cases were recently brought against several members for violation of the contract. One meihber has voluntarily paid the Ave cents a pound penalty, and all of them have been restrained from selling any cpt-r ton except through the Association. Arkansas has reported one violation I of the contract and Georgia one. ! EXCELLENT CHANCE AT FAIRS TO STUDY GOOD LIVESTOCK Exhibits of improved livestock and poultry at county and State fairs this year promise to be unusually interesting. Excellent livestock exhibits are likely to be attractive features of fairs. The attention which breeders and farmers have been giving to good livestock, combined with good feed and care, have resulted in some exceptionally well-bred and well-fitted animals. In encouraging- farmers to take advantage of the opportunities which fairs and livestock exhibits give for observing improved livestock and poultry the Department of Agriculture places emphasis on the following point: Livestock displays afford an opportunity to study breeds and types and to see a large number of good animals. In the case of meat animals the size, conformation and uniformity are_ worthy of special study in view of the increasing tendency to raise purebred and highgrade stock as market animals as well as for breeding. Farmers attending livestock displays obtain information by meeting others who are interested in superior breeding and feeding methods. Besides the ideas exchanged and information gained, new enthusiasm for the work is a common result. Animals and poultry may be purchased at most fairs, though as a rule it is more satisfactory for a farmer to purchase animals at the home of the breeder than to buy fitted animals at fail's. Animals that have been prepared for exhibition usually are priced higher than unfitted ones of similar quality and breeding. POISON IVY OFTEN BLAMED FOR HARM BY OTHER PLANTS Although poison ivy is one of the worst offenders, it frequently is blamed for poisoning caused by other plants, says Dr. W. W. Stockberger, of the United States Department of Agriculture. The department has a list of more than 100 of such plants that grow in this country, and it is probable that .there are others that may be poisonous to some persons. Not all of these plants are equally poisonous, and, too, there is gTeat variation in the susceptibility of persons. Because some of these common plants are used for ornament in the home is no reason to fear them, as most persons are not affected by them and in the great majority of cases the irritation of the skin is mild. This would probably hold true of such plants as the tomato, geranium, daffodil, and many others that are known to cause skin poisoning. Such plants, though, as the nettles, are irritating to most persons. In the long list of plants having these toxic properties are the following which are well known, but not all of them generally known to be poisonous: Aconite, ailanthus, asparagus, catalpa, dog fennel, lady's slipper, wild carrot, hop, lobelia, oleander, nightshade, oxeye daisy, parsnip, pokeweed, smartweed, primula, buttercup, poison elder or poison dogwood, bloodroot mullein, cocklebur. and the mustards. The pollen of the easter lily has been known to cause irritation of the skin, but this is probably as rare as poisoning by leaves of the geranium or the carrot. Some of these plants are poisonous when taken internally, but the list has been made out on the basis of being irritating to the skin.

CHESWltLD COUNTY / MAKES FINE START WITH GUERNSEY STOCK One of the outstanding factors in livestock development of the present day is community enterprise, having to do with the co-operative development of one particular breed of livestock and it is through this unified effort that we are looking to some county, community or sectional name generally as the trade mark of excellence and progress in pushing some breed of livestock to the foreground through the mase of individual breeders?a thing which would be prohibitive for years in the making with the individual breeders of such organizations. In the Guernsey breed these units are making themselves felt and the bull association is becoming the foundation for these community enterprises. These things being true, it is a pleasure to announce and gratifying to Guernsey enthusiasts to learn of the recent formation of a county organization for the particular purpose of promoting the Guernseybreed. Founded on a bull association, Chesterfield County, has entered it's name to the list under the caption "Chesterfield County Guernsey Rill! Aiun<<iat.inn" nn<i If ! say that few such organizations have launched forth with equal determination and enthusiasm to take a place among these organizations as breeders of the best Guernsey blood. The Chesterfield County Community is typical of the whole State of South Carolina?a state abounding in resource poteibilities adaptable to the dairying industry. Farmers of Chesterfield County were this year face to face with a serious condition. For years and years cotton has been the basis of a one crop system which has ravished the natural fertility of the land to such an extent that the State has been using one-sixth of all the fertilizer used in the United States. And the cotton boll weevil arrived. Subsequent with it's arrival it became apparel that a change must be made. " They investigated the possibilities of dairying and found that they were all thai could, be desired if followed intelligently. It was then that the Bull Association idea was. introduced After careful study that temporary organization was perfected and nine directors elected representing eight blocks. At a meeting of the directors on May 29th it became apparent that this Association was to he formed on bed rock and that only the best of animals would suit and only the most progressive provisions would be written into the consitiution as far as the spokesmen of the organization were concerned. The constitution in final form is most business like and progressive one. II permits only bulls of live blood lines and from dams with a 2 year old A. R. record of at least 400 pounds of fat or the equivalent. Strict tuberculosis testing is provided for. Stricl breeding rules are included and a circuit arrangement within the Association provides for an excellenl system of line breeding on exchange of the animals to best utilize theii Association, showing at fairs and many other progressive articles all combine to confirm the prediction that the Chesterfield Association will take its proper place in building Guernsey history. An extract from an official report on file at the Clemson College Extension Department Headquarers is found the following statement: "In its final form the association includes eight blocks, covering the county thoroughly. Twenty-five scrub bulls were eliminated, approximately 130 non-members will use the ani mals. There are approximately 70 pure-bred cows owned by non-members, approximately 400 cows are located in the immediate territory where the bullg will be kept. Of this total .number of ?owt 30 are extra well-bred and close up in the blood of the individuals that are making Guernsey History." With a membership of 40 members, the Association, is large enough to be influential yet not so large as to be unwieldly. Members owning the best of the pure bred animals are making preparations to start advanced testing within the year and a plan is on foot to order a car load of well bred heifers to be added to the list thus forming the nucleus on which to build a name synonyous with the best in Guernsey blood. The officers are: Gus Sherrell, Cheraw, President; W. L. McCoy, McBee, Vice-President; J. C. Terrell, Secretary-Treasurer. The organization was directed by W. E. Wintermeyer. Assistant Dairy Husbandman of the Washington De partment of Agriculture; C. G. Cush nan, District Dairy Husbandman Clemson College, and W. .J. Tiller, county demonstration agent. The work was ably assisted by several of the members, Mr. Terrell giving much of his time to the work. Two of the bulls, Grapcluwn Raja G7004 and Queen King of Grapelawn purchased from W. H. Gould of Burkville, Va., are sons of Grapelawn May King 45483 who is sired by Lass >f Ledyard the dam of Lassies Ledyard Bay.

CROW KING, CHIEF WHO DEFIED MEDICINE MEN CRAZY HORSE vu brave with a berserker recklessness; Sitting I Bull's daring was tern pared with prudence ; but another Slouz chief showed a higher fpra of courage?the courage to defy superstition and scoff at the pretensions of the medicine men at the height of their power among his people. He was Grow King or The Crow (Kangl?fcrow-j? Yetapl? "king" or wchtef") of the Hunkpapaa. High Bear, Crow King's brother, had fallen ill of tuberculosis which the big medicine man of the Hunkpapaa called the evil spirit, whereupon Orow King told him to cast It out and he would pay him well. Although the medicine man used ell his charms and Incantations, High Bear still coughed. So the sorcerer changed his "medicine," frequently finding s new excuse for doing so and always charging Crow King a certain number of ponies for aach new charm used. Other medicine men were called in and soon Orow King's herd waa almost wiped out. Then High Bear died. Crow King decided to put these quacks out of business. He summoned all of them to a feast, where heaeked to be allowed to see the charm by wblch each worked his wonders. Each one proudly produced his fetish?a . bear's claw, a rabbit's foot, a wolfs q.va and a weasel's skin. Then Crow King ' calmly dumped them into the firs. The medicine men ware horrified; they expected to see the defller drop ( ufbu. oui i;row tving a?nto them to ' prove the potency of their charms by bringing vengeance down upon him. Worn that day the power of the medicine men arapng the Sioux wane*. n Crow King had been a great warrior of the Hunkpap^s. He had fought at Fort Phil Kearney. At the Battle of Little Big Horn he had led the first charge which swept over the hill where Custer made his last stand, and the shock of this onset had mo shattered the resistance of Caster's men that their annihilation a few nilnntea later was made certain. He had fled to Canada with Sitting Boll, but later he had denounced that leader as a coward and a fraud aad had brought hla hand hack to tha United States to surrender. When be settled on Standing Rock reservation he became e leader of the progressive element among the Hunkpapas. Because of bis prowess In battle and hla statesmanship they bad honored him, bat to the day of his death, In 1880, they held htm la highest esteem because by one bold stroke he freed them from superstition. The amount of uniting we do when paying our taxes la an Index of one patriotism. < Any young man who can mako n Ut- 4 lng ought to mako two, according to what wo hoar. 4 sssmaak .
