Hamer, president of the South'a Carolina Division of the American; t< Cotton Association. It had been j c iioped, he said, to begin the canvass.1 g for signatures to the contracts at a If nuch earlier date but there have! n jeen some unavoidable delays. j ci "I find that some of the farmers I e ire impatient over the delay,".; said ib Vlr. Hamer. "I am glad that they are n io intensely interested in the move- q nent because I 'believe, with them, ;hat the co-operative marketing of C >ur cotton crop will prove an effec- gi ive panacea for many of our ills, tl Ve are making our campaign prepa- oJ ations just as rapidly as possible tc ind we hope now to begin the cam- hi >aign for signatures to contracts ri epresenting 400,000 bales not later tc htn the middle of July." li' lln a letter to Mr. Hamer discuss- fx ng the outlook for cotton, Col. W. p: I. Thomson, of New Orleans, one of e; he best known cotton factors in the m South says: G "Nothing can prevent materially ai ligher,prices ultimately, and noth- g< ng but the acquired habit of fear m ;nd panic bred competition between g< pot holders to undersoil each other sc an prevent materially higher prices n the near future." ? V Colonel Thompson in his letter ;akes the position that the cotton sitlation is not as hopeless as many ieem to think, or, as he puts it "in;rinsically is by no means bad as cur-t ent gloomy imagination paints it.",0 tie takes this position, he says, "be- ( si jause the burden of the present r< >versupply and prospective carry- ^ >ver is not nearly so heavy as cur-1 r ent estimates indicate; the produc-jg; ;ion outlook in so far as the new, y :rop is concerned is infinitely more s nenacing to consumer?, than the w jresent over-supply situation to pro- e lucers; the demand for cotton is not c] lead as they^hink it is otny taOfats f1 n cumulative abeyance to ,be start- b ed into hungry activity as soon as; m he supply situation develops a J jn tringency which is inevitable." t Colonel Thompson points out that j he actual world carry-over on Julyja, il will be 6,124,000 'bales and calls'q ittention to the fact that "we with-j >ut of slightest distress carried over' -w n 1915 a surplus of approximately j p< ',700,000 bales, followed an Am-!fe irican crop of approximately 13,- p3 100,000 bales." He says tha\ a sur lus stock of at least 3,000,000 bales p] 3 normal and no burden at all. He | ti: :stimaies that the 1921 crop will be pi adically short and believes that it 01 s possible that it will not go over ',500,000 bales. r ks!

M. and 3: ON THE M> P AGAIN King George, foruiviOy of Cotton ;ow, but lately in exile, where he as been helping Supervisor Kellar nock sortie knots off the roads of ie county, has returned to the :enes of his former greatness. He sports to us that he does not like ie public works, and should his serices be needed again by the county e hope3 it will*be on the county arm where things are more to his king. The King is done with the boot;ggec* and the liquor business for 11 the time, and he wants the people > know it. Hethas taken his mediine even though it didn't taste ood, and he comes back to be a iw-aibiding citizen, and he hopes to lake the people see that a good man in stay good. He doesn't want to be ven a door-keeper in the liquor usiness and had rather raise cotton ow at ten cents than to get rich by uestionable routes. He_had consulted his old friend, ol. R. W. Smith, on how to get ood and stay good. Dote tells him lat if he will deliver about twelve f fifteen blocks of ice to the cusrniers on his route for a day or two, i will be content to sleep at night ither than haul liquor. He thinks >o that Mrs. Pritchard might hold a ttle tighter rein on George knowing om experience that if a man is roperly bossed he -will be able to it three meal a a day but not get iuch thirsty. He suggests that eorge buy a fish every day or two t the fish market on South Main, ood fish meat helping he says to iake a man look handsome, feel ood, and act like a Sunday school :holar. ICTOfc DOG LISTENS TO IIS MASTER'S VOICE IN GREECE The Echo, the popular music house n North Main Street, has added anther distinction to its list. It has lipped a Victrola and a number of ;<^ords to Greece. The instrumnt was ought by Kapetanakas. Bros, of the oyal Cafe and is to be sent as a ift to Mr. Creostas P. Kapetanakas* illage Polivichia, State Lacona, parta, Greece. When the purchase as being made, the salesman at the cho suggested that a talkipg marine could be sent with less expense -om their shipping house in England, ut he was told that only a Victrola, ade at Camden, N. J., and display ig the world famous white dog listing to "His Master's Voice" would ? acceptable. 'Besides the Victrola i excellent selection of operatic and reek rcords were shipped. The people of the Greek colony i Abbville take little interest in the jpular 'jazz," and are among the jw music lovers of Abbeville who refer high class nypwc sung by eelrated artists to noise of the saxalone and trombone in modern ragme. It is reported by the Echo exerts that they buy more good rec ds than any other people in town.

LACK OF PROPOSES ' CAUSE OF WORRY ONE HUNDRED NEW HOUSE REPUBLICANS MEET TONIGHT TO DISCUSS SITUATION?ARE NOT IN REBELLION BUT WOULD ELIMINATE RED TAPE. I Washington, June 28.?Representative Ansorge of New York issued a statement today asserting that the new Republican members of the house were dissatisfied with the progress made by congress at the present special session and disclosing that he and ten others had joined in a call for a conference tomorrow night of the approximately 100 new Republican members to discuss the ituation. "We are not meeting in any spirit of revolt," said Mr. Ansgore, adding that the new members wanted to cut some of the "red tape" and "substitute action for delay." Mr. Ansorge said one of the obieets for which conrress was called ? w ! into special session had been* accomplished. "Nor is there definite promise aa to when they will be," he added. There ai;e upwards of a hundred first term Republicans in the house and they feel, as I do, that we have j not been permitted to make our influence felt. '^Congress was called into special session for certain definite purposes, namely for revision of the cumbersome, unwieldly and inequitI able system of taxation, the passage of a fair protective tariff and the: passage of a peace resolution. None' of these objects have as yet been accomplished, nor is there any definite . proimise as to when they will 'be. j "Nearly three months have passed | since tne calling 01 tne special session and we want to spe action, spell-j ed with a capital "A." "We believe, with the Republican! party, that what is best for the coun-! try is best for the party and we want to impress that thought on some of j fhe older members. Many of them' have been here so long they seem to| Save forgotten it. > ' "We are n<?t meeting in any spirit of revolt. We have come more recently from the people and our opinion should have some weight. Congress is all tied up with red tape, j We want to cut soi^ie of the red tape and substitute action for. delay. The, seniority rule can go too far. We' feel that our districts have as much! right to representation as has Uncle j .Top Cnnnnn's. i Othe3 who signed the call for the j conference are: Representatives ^ -Clarke, New York; Gernard, Penn-j sylvania; Knight, Ohio; Hogan, Newj York; Arentz Nevada; Beck, Wisconsin; Beedy, Maine; Fenn, Connecticut; Funk, Illinois and Limeberger, California. BREAKING CAMP Most of the young people who have 'been camping at Rapley Shoals for the past two weeks are at home enjoying the hot weather. Most of the campers spent the time in eating and bathing, some going in the stream by moon light. RAW COTTON MARKET IMPROVING IN JAPAN A recent issue of Commerce Reports, of the Departmet of Commerce, states there has been a considerable reduction in the number of idle spindles in Japan, and the rawcotton market is consequently improving, with the result that the trade in Japan is quite optimistic. To increase production, some Connecticut cotton mills work their machinery 24 hours a day, employing three shifts of workers.
