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.

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.
