JLEGE, S C. i Order Received 1 i i .1 MenMHeeJ Bond Election Set Aside New Election Called The long fight for waterworks anc sewerage for the town of Chesterfielc entered another phase on Wednesday, June 22nd, when the Town Council met in special session, and, upon the advice of their attorneys, passed a resolution setting aside the bond elections of April the 5th. They instructed their attorney to file an answer to the complaint in the waterworks and sewerage temporary injunction matter consenting to the relief prayed for by the plaintiff-contestants. Tho council took this action for the best interest of the town. It will oe rememncred that a tmporary injunction against the selling of the bonds had been obtained by some of the citizens. The Town Council decided thut to fight the cAse in court would be expensive, adding further to thc burden of the tafx-payers. It might cause delay in the sale of the bonds. Therefore, it instructed its attorneys to consent to the complaint and to serve the plaintiff's attorneys with a copy of the town's answer in the case. But other important developments quickly followed. A new petition was drawn up asking for an election on waterworks and sewerage. The petition was circulated for two days, during which time 94 property owners in-the town of Chesterfield signed up, making twelve more than the required number to call the elections. This is a larger number that had signed the previous petition. It is estimated to be sixty per cent of the free-holders. The council met on Monday night again when the petition was present ed by Messrs J. A. Welsh and C. S. P. Meehan. After u careful checking of the signatures against the tax books it was decided a majority of the freeholders had signified a desire for the elections. The elections were ordered for the <1?*.

IliiiiiBHll CO-OPERATION PAYS IN UNION Clemson College, Jum; 25.?Two recent instances of the money value of co-operation have come from the Union County farmers, one of these concerning the purchase of fertilizer by pooling orders and the other concerning the sale of cotter by pooling offerings. When local farmer.? were ready to purchase nitrate of soda they were told by County Agent W. L). Wood that they could effect a saving of $10.00 per ton by pooling their or ders and buying in carload lots. Upon receipt of this informaeion the farmers came not by ones and twos, but by the dozens to join the purchasing pool and in one week's time over 150 tons were ordered co-operatively at a net saving of $1500, thus illustrating that another way to reach .? man's heart besides through his stomach is through his bocketbook.

WOODROW WILSON ADMITTED TO EAR Washington, June 25.?-WoodrowWilson appeared in person today in the chambers of Chief Justice McCoy, of the District of Columbia Supreme Court, to he admitted to the practice of law before that court. A- special session of the court was called for the purpose of admitting Mr. Wilson, the court having previously amended its rules so that former Presidents and Vice Presidents of the Uniter States who are lawyers, might be admitted to practic without application or other formality. Mr. Wilson was accompanied to the court by his law partner, Bainbrdge Colby, former Secretary of State, and by Joseph P. Tumulty, formerly his private secretary. The admission of the former Chief Executive was moved by John Paul Ernest, chair | man 01 mc examining committee, and the usual oath was uuu.instcred by Morgan H. Beach, clerk of courts. At the conclusion of the cememony the Chief Justice briefly welcomed i Mr. Wilson to the membership of the Bar. A WISE JUDGE It is said that some of the town council were in favor of carrying on the fight for waterwoks in the courts, whither it had been taken by a group of citizens. It was the contention of these members that courts are very loth to set aside the will of the majority aft expressd at the polls for a technicality, especially when that will is for progress. But it is said that a learned judge, who had been called in advised them thusly: nave any oi you gentlemen ever hunted foxes?" Some said they had. "Well," said the judge, "when j your pack of dogs becomes divided,! what do you do? A divided pack will never catch the fox. You have to call off your dogs and start over. It is1 about the same when a town is di-' vided. At least I would advise you to i call off the election and try again. If you don't gel them all to run together, you will, at least have a larg er pack the second time." The council took his advise. By Far the pooling of farm products and scll;ng in large quantities pay?" is found in the experience of one Union county farmer who had a small lot of 11 bales of cotton to sell. A local buyer offered him a price on this lot, which was not accepted. Later on that day the same lot of 11 bales was sold to the .same buyer in a pool of 400 bales, the difference in the price re* ceived in the pool and that offered in the small lot being so great as to 1 amount to the price of two bales. I Through just such experiences as these farmers in Union county and throughout South Carolina are learni ing that co-operation in the form of buying and selling pools is an impor| tant phase of the modern farmer's I business.
