around Granite, it is said, is one
of the best cotton producing sec-
tions of the state, Granite being
one of the irinciple ginning
centcm of that section.
In most parts of the state cot-
ton seed oil mills are operated
by negro labor, and it is pointed
out that the establishment of an
oil mill at either prison would
not have the effect of bringing
the state into competition with
organized labor.

but that twenty-five per cent may
lie !rnmi«hed by hH creditors af-
ter a judgement has •.; en obtain-
i i in any court of competent
jur Notion. For in-stance, if
J- man working on a salary owes
the grocer a bill of $40, under
the old law the grocer could not
collect it if the defendant went
into court and proved that all
his earnings were necessary for
the support of Ins family.
Under the new law the grocer
may obtain a judgement for the
full amount and every week or
every month he may garnishee
one-fourth of the defendant's
earnings. Every garnishment
will cost the defendant $1.50 in
court expenses.
Hundreds of garnishment cases
have been filed in the courts of
the justices of the peace since
the new law went into effect. In
one justice's court more than
two hundred cases are now pend-
ing and the garnishment papers
will be served in a few days. In
some of the other courts the
garnishment cases are not so nu-
merous, but they are being filed
very fast.
Only money earned during the
last ninety days can be garnish
eed under the new law and the
act provides that any creditor
who attempts to get more than
onefourth of the wages or salary
due under such proceedings shall
forfeit the entire debt.
The new law will be put into
effect against many of those who
have judgments pending against
them now, but who could escape
after the garnishment by prov-
ing that all their earnings were
necessary for the support of
their families- As the law now
stands, seventy-five per cent of
their earnings is exempted, but
the other twenty-five per cent is
subject to garnishment. This
may be done under judgments
heretofore obtained.
There are in the justice's
courts many such judgments,
which have not heretofore been
regarded seriously by those
against whom they were abtain-
ed. If they had no property
subject to seizure under such
judgments and they were able to
prove that their earnings were
not more than sufficient to sup-
port their familes, they had noth-
ing to fear from their creditors.
The intention of the new law
is to give the creditor a chant e
t3 get something from those who
owe him. In the past he was at jtM% Automatiic temperature con- „aj

yesterday announced that the A.

be here on Saturday night and

been able to secure them.

MASONS ENTERTAIN
Members of Granite lodge No.
164 A. F. & A. M. entertained
their friends and families Thurs-
day evening in a most delightful
manner. The occasion was in
honor of St. John's day, an event
which is observed everywhere by
the Masonic fraternity.
About 150 guests were in at-
tendance, and thoroughly enjoy-
ed the program which was as
follows :
Invocation Rev. J. E. Kirk
^usi? Miss Helen McRee
Heading Miss Florence Burden
■ • • • Ima and Ura Foster
Oratjon-What Christianity and Civ-
ilization owes to Masonry J. D
Goulette.
^us'c Miss Blanche Kelly
Miss Ethel Hill
The program was followed by
dejiicious refreshments of ice
cream, cake, and sherbert, and if
county fair bill as papsed by the
last legislature.
After another short talk by
R. A. Singletary, of Mangum,
the. organization was effected
as stated above.
Messers. Briggs and Wills are
among the county's most prores-
sive farmers, and we may rest
assured that with a little assis-
tance they will have a township
fair for Granite and a county ex-
hibit at Mangum that will be a
credit to any community.
Under the law as passed, two
or more townships may join to-
gether in organizing a township
fair, and it is proposed that
Granite and Quartz townships
join in making the fair to be held
here a success.
Agent Watson is very anxious
to put Greer county on the map
with a creditable exhibit at the
with a creditable exhibit at the
state fair this fall, and asks the
assistance of every producer in
this work. If you have anything
that will make a creditable ex-
hibit, he wants it. It is es-
pecially desired that good ex-
hibits of wheat and oats, rye or
barley be secured. If growers
of these or any other good sam-
ples of farm products will bring
them to The Enterprise office,
they will be taken care of and
turned over to Mr. Watson for
the state exhibit. He says that
it takes about three bundles of
grain to make a good showing,
after it is worked down, taking
out the faulty stalks.
