THE VIDALIA ADVANCE
VOLUME XX
BO) SCOUT TROOPS
B M BIT. VEIIOITUITI
ORGANIZATION IS PERFECTED
■ AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY
EXPECTS TO RAISE THE AS
p 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-
A 4ay afternoon. As a result of his
visit plans were made for organizing
the county into a number of compa
nies.
I Interest sems to center first in a
Hoint organization between the boys
fpcf Ailey and Mt. Vernon, the two
■towns being so near togetnc?. Later
of Scouts will be organized
Pin the different towns of the county
Has the movement gains headway.
■There is no limit on the number of
Jpboys being organized in a given coun
■ tv, 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
Hfollowing county committeemen were
■ elected: For Mt. Vernon, Dr. J. K.
■ Flunt, W. A. Peterson and Jas. A.
■ Stacy. For Ailey, Dr. J. W. Falmer,
jl and J. FT. Peterson. To this '.list
I was added Prof. A. M. Gates of the
j|| 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,
E 1 but naturally a portion of it is return
■ ed to the county organization, to be
1 used in the promotion of he wortk.
The county committeemen'will elect
I a scout master, who will have personal
I charge over the boys as instructor and
Jl leader, and in all movements in which
yhe 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 lie raised by the
I bov himself, that the principle of
F thrift may be instilled.
I v The boys- are taught the art of
woodcraft and many forms of healthy
I outdoor sports, and once a year there
I is held a district camp, where a week’s
I instruction is given in subjects of in
i terest and benefit to the boys. Two
I of the cardinal principles taught are,
I first, duty to God ; second duty to fel
f 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 & 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-OPERATIVE COTIi ‘
WHIG 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
in 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 iri thisj
cotton pool are Oklahoma, 1 exas, Ar
izona, Arkansas, North Carolina, South j
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Mis-j
sissippi, Tennessee and Louisiana short,
staple growers are now ptannmg sell- 1
ing associations.
"The entire south is for the to^op-!
erative marketing of cotton because of
its many advantages over present
methods. It 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
I means better schools and longer terms.
„ This association is backed aiiu sup
ported by substantial and. progressive
farmers in every section. In our city
the Vidalia 'Tobacco Warehouse vs
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
jof this large warehouse to care for
j the cotton of members at this point.

health work in these counties. These
counties, he said, were spending large
sums for prevention of diseases among
their hogs and cattle, but werenot
spending a cent for preventing disease
and improving the health of the men,
women and children, who were the
greatest assets of the counties.
I hat two million people in the United

preventible diseases and every year
there were six hundred thousand
deaths from preventible diseases.
