EARLY COUNTY CLUB HOLDS GREAT MEETING A goodly crowd gathered in the court house on Tuesday night to listen to the several profitable talks which were made; and these all de cided that they would tell others of the plans proposed and have even a larger attendance on Friday night, at which time the Committee which recently made a visit to Turner county to see ‘‘how they were doing it,” will make their report. In addi tion to this report on Friday night those who are interested will perfect organization of several county-wide Associations along lines suggested in the Tuesday night’s meeting. Realizing that no more important subject can be brought to the at tention of our people, the News is glad to give an account of the meet ing Tuesday night. The President, Col. B. K. Collins, in calling the meeting to order, announced that, because of the se riousness of our present condition, he felt that the meeting should be opened with prayer, and called upon the pastor of the Baptist church to lead the devotions. The spirit of solemnity which was manifest as the people stood with bowed heads, asking God that His blessing might rest upon the people, that He might so guide and direct their la bors that prosperity and happiness might abound, indicated the deep feeling of our citizenship. In a very happy manner Mr. C. H. Bishop of Ashburn called our at tention to our blessings, to the goodliness of our lands and to the opportunities opening before us. In congratulating us on being the “best County in the best State in the best Country in a mighty good World.” he challenged us to be men, and worthy sons of the worthy sires who blazed the trails and wrested from the wilderness this legacy of rich land. With plain words in an ordinary conversational tone he told us of how the people of Turner county have mastered their problems by the “Cow, Hog and Hen” plan, urging that we should "make the best of what we have and GROW in to the Dairy. Pork and Poultry busi ness.” His advice was that we should not GO into this business, buying a lot of fancy cows, hogs and chickens, but. by taking the cows we have and the hogs we have and the hens we have, GROW into the business by milking our cows, separating our cream and feeding the skim milk to hogs and chickens and beginning in a small way to enlarge, add to, and multiply until we had a big thing. He went into details, pointing out the necessity of a large “Hatchery” instead of indi vidual incubators, and just how this might be managed, and touched with much emphasis on the co-opera tion necessary to make the plan a success. Mr. Bishop’s talk was much en joyed and many questions were put to him, show ing how interested our people are in such things. “Co-operation” was the keynote of Mr. W. W. Webb’s splendid ad dress. though he was announced to discuss the raising of Tobacco, as a means of beating the boll-weevil. He told several amusing anecdotes which forcefully illustrated the ne cessity for co-operation. Mr. Webb is in large measure responsible for the rapid strides made in recent years in the realm of co-operative marketing. In Lowndes county he fathered the first hog sale ever held in «Georgia, and his efforts along this line brought him into such prominence that he is now employed by the State to lead iu such work. He had just come from a large ‘‘Hog and Chicken" sale at Camilla, where carloads of these were col lected and sold at prices that aston ished his hearers. The great ad vantage in this co-operative sale is that the man with one hog. or a small coop of chix received just as much per pound as did the man 'vith hundreds of a like grade. “The Spirit of Co-operation,” as lie de scribed it, was the realization on the part of Merchant and Farmer of their interdependence, and in their dealings one with the other so fulfil the ‘‘golden rule” that they would be mutually helped. Selfish “getting all I can” will never get anything, for that which hurts the other THERE baby /JrswiyAj » HOME? vs ~~~jl BABY EASE A Safe Liquid Treatment For Sick Fretful Babies and Children Bowel and Teething Troubles No Opiates-No Dope-Sold bt| Druggists fellow will eventually hurt you. He pied that the merchants should see to it that a good market was main tained for the products of the farm, and that the farmer should pro duce for the market. in closing Mr. Webb made eyes and ears open wide as he told of Tobacco fields yielding upwards of SIOO per acre profit, and every fann er doubtlessly was resolving to plant Tobacco,, when he cooled their ardor by cautioning them of the dangers of total loss, and urged that only | under the direction of the most experienced growers should a man attempt to raise Tobacco. Mr. Bishop was called back to answer some questions relative to the marketing of cream, and about the details of organization for As-! sociations. Both Mr. Bishop and Mr. Webb took occasion to speak iu the highest terms of our County Agent, Dr. W. A. Fuqua, urging that we follow his lead in the matters un der discussion, and that his advice be sought all along the line. In urg ing the building of grading pens for co-operative bog sales, Mr. Webb an nounced that he was coming hack soon and ‘camp’ on us until the pens were finished. It was proposed that, although the hour was late, organization of cer tain Associations be perfected that night, but understanding that prob ably many other of our farmers would want to have part in this, it was postponed until Friday, Sep tember 21, at 7:30 p. m.
