MARKETING COTTON J
J
In the last few weeks numbers of i1
I v
fanners, locally, who failed or neg- .
lected to join the Cotton Marketing L
Association this spring when the ,
drive for members was on, have come
i
in and joined. The same seems to J
be true over the state. Hereafter
th^e farmers will sell their cotton a
through the channels of the organization.
There is no doubt that the welfare s
of the farmers will be promoted by1
the orderly selling- of their products
through marketing associations.
These associations have proved of
great benefit in selling fruits, and
there is no reason why they should
not be of greater benefit to the cot- ^
ton farmers in the selling of cottbn. t
If any set of farmers have contrib- n
uted more-than any other set to 71
maintain a fertile field for exploita- 11
tion by others it has been the cotton *P
farmers. There is no reason "why, one ?
year with another, through these as- 91
' sedations much more should not be *
* realized for the cotton grown in the!
South than would otherwise be done, h
if the cotton marketing association p
does what it is designed to do, S
-v Of' "course the marketing associa-, r
tion may not do any good. That is | a
going to depend on the officers of (h
the association.Jf they be good menj tl
a&d true, if they be . of the t<
trust .imposed on them, and if the/ h
pxercififl (rood bnsinp<*.Q tfeft
^ r'TT ?"*' -? ?"? 4 ?B ? fissoclation
ean bat succeed, And it
U ftot believed that the f&ttBew JBfr
the state, tke cotton growers of .
state, , are going to allow designing
persons to take over the manage- a
ment of this organisation. X^e far- a
mere,, it they are wise, are going to v
pay reasonable salaries and thus se- ^
cure the services of business men to *
run the enterprise. ^
.While the directors are paying *
MUlllAMAklA f/NF AA V
I OOM& *V* Miv Mati?
services rendered, they should pay *
only what is reasonable and employ t
only such men as are needed. There a
will be no quleker way to destroy c
confidence in the whole scheme than t
by giving the people ground to be- t
lieve that one man or a few men are *
. using the machinery to make easy t
offices for themselves, or otherwise to 1
promote their own interests. ?
We repeat that the success of the i
whole scheme. depends on the efflci- i
ency and integrity of the men who ;
manage the affairs of the associa- ]
tion.
A CALL FOR MAN-POWER
The Abbeville Press and Banner re- 1
ports:
The wholesale immigration (
among the negroes continues,
12 men and women leaving on
Saturday for Chicago and 20
leaving Sunday for the same
destination.
This emigration of negroes has]
been in progress from many of the j
counties in this state for three |
months. Railroads report a -steady j
movement West' and North from.
South Carolina and Georgia. The ag-i
gregate of those who have gone;
from this state runs well into the
thousands. It is logical to conclude
that the negroes who have gone and,
are going are ?ot the shiftless idlers, j
but those who know how to work
iiscouraged by an agricultural situation
caused by the advent of the
>oll weevil which they do not kno-w
low to combat, have determined tc
>ell their labor in other markets.
It is probable also that in the pasl
hree months, several thousand whit<
;enant farmers have also left th<
rountry, moving their families tc
hose towns with cotton factories
vhere work may be secured. Thest
lave neither the resources nor th<
ibility to combat the new condition*
>n the fcrms.
Our state can not lose man-pow?r
on the farm without suffering
Besides the necessity for continued
tfforts to control the weevil invasion,

or the working and utilization of
he land. Given the proper support,
ndustry and intelligence will prevail
on South Carolina farms. South
Carolina needs more farmers who
;now how to farm. These will sueeed
here. They can be obtained.?

A NEW PAPER
The Press and Banner has received
a copy of "The Inkling,"
mblished by the students of the
burroughs High School at Conway,
^he paper is eight pages, is printed
a good style and ha3 enough adertisements
to make it pay. There
3 a Lanier Literary Society in Con?ay.
The joke deparment is up to
he usual high standard of school
okes. The Inkling brings news of
*rof. J. M. Daniel who seems to
hve the high regard of his pupils
s he did in Abbeville.
The Inkling is a very creditable
chool paper.
MORE1. WATER
While considerable rain fell
hroughout this and other sections
as materially improved the condiions
of the rivers especially Savanah,
a report from Charlotte last
ight indicated that there would be
io alternation in the curtailment
rogram recently begun by the
louthern Power Co., in the conervation
of power, jdue to low
rater.
The effects of the recent rains
ave been greater at Gregg Shoals
ower plant than at Portman
hoals, however, both rivers are
eported above normal. The river
t Gregg Shoals is Higher than it
as beet for many months, while
lie Portman pJant has also benefited
considerably by the rains.?

state to have new
y tax blank form
Columbia, Dec. 21.?The state
>- tax commission is to use a blank
l, form, simlar to that used by Uncle
t- Sam, in getting income tax returns
f for the tax of 1923. The blanks
is have been prepared and are to ,be
e mailed out early in the new year,
e | The 'blanks ask for the same inforf
mation as that' sought by the Unii.
ed States collector. E\>r the return
?- on last year's income no blank was
it used for the returns on which the
y state income tax was based. The tax
n commission simply took an affidaf
vit from each tax payer as to the
amount of tax he paid the federal
* government, the state tax being
is ( one-third of that amount, or next
n year, however, the state tax come
mission will have its own blank.
t Returns on 1922 incomes will be
h due March 15, on which date the
first quarterly payment will also 'be
X due. In making returns the income4
earner makes report of his total in*
[come, no matter what Its sources;
" and of the possible deductons. The
01 same deductions are allowed iby the
~ i state income tax law as by the fede
i eral statute, for interest and taxes
" paid, for losses by fire or storm, for
contribution and for bad debts.
' j ine computation or u*e tax on
* the Wank forms, is similar to that
8 for the federal collector. It is comS
puted at four per cent, the federal
j income tax and then one-third of
| the amount is paid to the state
" treasurer, the state law specifying
simply that the state income tax
r shall be one-third of the federal
" income tax.
