Tuesday morning, after the arrival of club members from the various sections of the county, a grand din ner was served in the school build ing, and from that time until Friday noon these youngsters enjoyed quite an extensive program. A free picture show, “Nanook of the North,” was given by Mr. Picquet at the Carolina Theatre on Tuesday night. Then next day, after the usual camp duties were performed, Mr. Pyron, of the Pinehurst Farms, gave a very in structive talk on pig management to the boys, while Mrs. H. B. Hunter, of Charlotte, gave a demonstration on hand enameled and decorated vases to the girls. The afternoon was spent in taking field trips to the dairy where Mr. Dunlop explained different cows’ records and Mr. Pyron gave field lec tures on judging hogs; following this the fire department of Pinehurst gave a demonstration of fighting fire by the use of vre extinguishers. After this the children enjoyed a plunge in the pool. Miss McQueen led in out door games. The earlier part of the evening was taken up in community singing, which was led by Mr. and Mrs. Picquet; this latter event was a most enjoyable one, and one would hardly believe that such good talent could be found among the youngsters of Moore county. Thursday’s program consisted of lectures on interior decoration and demonstration on hand-made flowers for the girls. The boys were given talks on selection of seed corn, pre paring exhibits for the fair, and bee culture; they were requested to take notes on all these lecturs. The Rev. Mr. Clark gave a very interesting visual demonstration during the de votional exercises. Field trips, in the afternoon, took all the members to the greenhouses in Pinehurst, where they were met by the attendants and given demonstrations on preparing seed beds and transplanting vegeteble plants. The eveing program consisted of stunts by the various clubs and al so by the individuals. After much enjoyment the camp broke on Friday morning, the boys and girls leaving with the very best feeling that they had accomplished great results. JACKSON SPRINGS NEWS The Fourth passed off quietly here —only one holiday dr*unk reached Squire Clark. Later in the week, when he was taken before the magis trate, he plead guilty and was fined $10 and the costs, which is one of the smallest fines imposed here, as an effort is being made by officers and citizens to stop any rowdyism. Like any public place whiskey will reach here, but public sentiment is against it and we hope the mean liquor will soon be a thing of the past in this community. R. G. Matheson, Jr., is at Lake Jacosse near Senecca, S. C. Mr. Matheson is physical director for a boys’ camp; he was a member of the West End baseball team of the Moore County League last summer, and taught in the city high school at Columbia, S. C., last winter. Rev. Crawford, Synodical Home Missionary of Fayetteville Presbytery, Will preach at the Presbyterian church (Continued on page 10) TWO SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A COLLISION A very unfortunate and serious ac cident occurred Sunday evening about the curve near the Stephen Wallace home place on the outskirts of Carthage on the Raleigh-Charlotte highway. In a large truck Carl Kivett, who lives nearby, was taking his two sis- tep, Misses Viola and Virginia Kivett, vj^ho had been visiting in his home to their own home in Carthage. Just on the curve he collided with a Chevrolet car driven by Lacy Purvis, of Bennett, in which were Ted Gardner, Floyd Bray, Hobart Forkner and Melvin Estridge, of that place, returning to their homes from Lakeview. Miss Viola Kivett was very serious ly injured, suffering a fractured skull and cuts about the head, while Miss Virginia was bruised and shaken up. Carl Kivett escaped uninjured. In the front seat of the Chevrolet, Melvin Estridge was riding with the driver, and he was the only one of the young men seriously injured. The truck was badly damaged and the car demolish ed. Both Miss Viola Kivett and Mr. Estridge were carried to the Cen tral Carolina Hospital at Sanford and reports from that institution are that Miss Kivett is conscious, and while suffering a fractured skull and a deep cut above the eye, is doing nicely. Mr. Estridge’s condition is not so encouraging, he, not at this writing, having regained consciousness. CAMERON NEWS Mr. and Mrs. N. J.

C., on Saturday, July 8th, marking the climax of the whirlwind campaigns in the Carolinas which have resulted in a ten thousand in crease in membership for the Tobac co Growers’ Co-operative Association within the past ten weeks. Oliver J. Sands, executive manager of the Association of 75„000 tobacco growers addressed the mommoth mass meeting of tobacco growers, mer chants and bankers from Eastern Carolina. More than a thousand contracts a week have been pouring steadily into Raleigh headquarters and mark the successful campaigning which con tinues in Sotith Carolina, Virginia and Eastern North Carolina. The recent statement of C. C. Car rington, president of the United States Tobacco Association, that the Tobacco Growers’ Co-operative As sociation is now grown into a formida ble rival to the independent dealers and warehousemen, has been followed by some of the most hostile adver tising which has yet appeared in op position to the organized growers. This opposition is stirring the growers to redouble their efforts, and more than 600 contracts from Virginia have come in since the recent meet ings at South Boston, Chatham, Gret na, Burkeville, Amelia and Drakes Branch and Bedford, where Senator Borah, Oliver J. Sands, J. Y. Joyner, Joseph M. Hurt and other leaders of the big co-operative addressed thou sands of growers. Severely arraigning the men who have fostered rumors that extrava gant salaries are paid the officials of the Marketing Association, Oliver J. Sands, Executive Manager has au thorized the following statement: “There are some people so selfish and narrow minded that they cannot believe that there are business men living in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina who are willing to de vote their time and talents to the service of the people and their states. “These people have stated that I am receiving large compensation for my services. This I deny. I am working in this wholly because I believe it will be of great benefit to our people, and I know that if we help the farmer we help all the peo ple. “I will receive reward in personal satisfaction and in the same manner as every other merchant and banker,” says Mr. Sands who asked “\^'hy is it that co-operative marketing is in creasing and growing wherever it has been tried?” and pointing out that a few years ago three hundred mil lion dollars of products were market ed through co-operative associations, and that this year more than one bil lion dollars worth of farm products will be sold by co-operative associa tions. With 58 per cent of the tobacco crop of South Carolina on signed con tracts listed by growers, by pounds and acres at Raleigh headquarters of the Tobacco Growers’ f,"!o-operative Association, officials of the organized tobacco growers here yesterday dis mounted the report of independent warehousemen that only 26 per cent of the South Carolina crop was sign ed with the Association. Hundreds of new contracts arriving daily from South Carolina are push ing the large majority-membership of the big producing counties to higher percentage each week. Williamsburg county now passes a 90 per cent sigi.- up, Florence county is steadily climb ing from 80 to 90 per cent, and Dar lington county which signed over a COUNTY EXHIBITS AT STATE FAIR RALEIGH, July 13, 1922—The or ganization of an exhibition company in Johnston county to put on an ex hibit at the State Fair for the coun ty is pointed to as an example of the kind of work the management of the fair association would like to see car ried out in a large number of the counties this year. These county ex hibits will be one of the big features of the fair, for special efforts are be ing made to get a large number of the counties to send exhibits to com pete for the fine prizes offered for the best ones. As much as $600 for the first premium is being offered to these county exhibits. The suggestion of the fair associa tion was that the county exhibits be placed in charge of the county agents of the different counties; the county commissioners could make provisions for the putting on the exhibit and turn the job over to these agents. The Johnston county people went this sug gestion one better, and have organized a little stock company for the pur pose of putting on the exhibit which will show North Carolina what a fine county, from an agricultural stand point, these people have found in Johnston. They believe in the county and think it will be possible for them to put on an exhibit which will top everything else that any county can offer at the fair. Full information about these ex hibits can be secured from the officials of the fair at Raleigh. Anyone in terested in getting the county com missioners or anyone else to see that their county is represented at the fair can gt this information by merely writing to the state fair association at Raleigh. Every effort is being made to make the fair of great value educatior?.l'v, as well as from an en tertainment standpoint, this year. For this reason special emphasis is being laid on the educational features of the exhibits at the fair.
