VOL. XXXVI
n SCOUT TROOPS
IT MI. VERMLEt
ORGANIZATION IS PERFECTED
AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY
EXPECTS TO RAISE THE AS
SESSMENT IN FULL.
Mr. W. W. Rivers cf Dublin, scout
executive of the Twelfth Congression
al District, addressed a company of
Montgomery county citizens at the
court house in Mt. Vernon last Fri
day afternoon. As a result of his
visit plans were made for organizing
the county into a number of compa
nies.
Interest sems to center first in a
joint organization between the boys
of Ailey and Mt. Vernon, the two
towns being so near togetncr. Later
companies of Scouts will be organized
in the different towns of the county
as the movement gains headway.
There is no limit on the number of
boys being organized in a given coun
ty, the age limit being maintained, of
course. With larger membership in
a county additional representation in
the higher councils will be obtained.
Dr. J. F. Currie of Mt. Vernon
was chosen county chairman, and the
following county committeemen were
elected: For .Mt. Vernon, Dr. J. E.
Hunt, W. A. Peterson and Jas. A.
Stacy. For Ailey, Dr. T. W. Palmer,
and J. H. Peterson. To this (list
was added Prof. A. M. Gates of the
Rrewton-Parker Institute.
The county chairman will have in
charge the raising of the county’s as
sessment, which is S2OO. This amount
goes directly into the district treasury,
but naturally a portion of it is return
ed to the county organization, to be
used in the promotion of he wortk.
The county committeemen will elect
a scout master, who will have personal
charge over the boys as instructor and
leader, and in all movements in which
the boys take active part the scout
master is commander and chief adviser.
Citizens are asked to raise the fund
in order that the movement will have
ample backing, both financially and
morally. The annual! dues for the
boys is but fifty cents, and this and
such other funds as he may be asked
to contribute, should be raised by the
boy himself, that the principle of
thrift may be instilled.
The boys are taught the art of
woodcraft and many forms of healthy
outdoor sports, and once a year there
is held a district camp, where a week’s
instruction is given in subjects of in
terest and benefit to the boys. Two
of the cardinal principles taught are,
first, duty to God; second duty to fel
lowmen and country. The idea of
self-reliance and a constant watch for
the opportunity of doing some good
turn is inculcated in the minds of the
boys.
The Scout movement is a worthy
one and it is hoped that the citizens
of the county will back up the move
ment in this county. It appeals to
the boy, and Scout training will be
of lasting benefit to him.

CO-OMIIVE COTTON
MARKETING SPREADING
EIGHT SOUTHERN STATES NOW
ORGANIZED FOR CO-OPERA
TIVE MARKETING VIDALIA
WAREHOUSES FULL.
Dallas, Tex., Sept. 18.—More than
two and one-half million bales of cot
ton have ben signed into state mar
keting associations by 150,000 farmers
in the south within the last two years,
according to a review complied by L-
F. McKay, director of information of
the American Cotton Growers Ex
change. These growers plan changes
ir. the marketing system which will
eliminate, they say, many of the evils
in the present system of selling.
"Four of the states, Oklahoma, Tex
as, Arizona and Mississippi, last year
marketed their cotton successfully
under the new plan,” Mr. McKay said.
“This year eight states have formed
themselves into the American Cotton
Growers Exchange. States in this
cotton pool are Oklahoma, Texas, Ar
izona, Arkansas, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Mis
sissippi, Tennessee and Louisiana short
staple growers are now ptanning sell
ing associations.
“The entire south is for the co-op
erative marketing of cotton because of
its many advantages over present
methods, lj is a modern system, will
tend to increase the standard of living,
and will provide deposits because the
farmer - will receive more money for
his cotton whether or not he is a
member of the association. It also
means better schools and longer terms.
This association is backed and sup
ported by substantial and. progressive
farmers in every section. In our city
the Vidalia 'Tobacco Warehouse ?s
storing cotton for the members and a
visit to this warehouse will convince
the most skeptical that they mean
bhsiness. It will soon tax the space
of this large warehouse to care for
the cotton of members at this point.

there were six hundred thousand
deaths from preventible diseases.
