WU1 Support tho South Curoltnn Cot ton Growers' Assn, to Eliott. \_ Columbia, Aug. 1.-Special' As surances form the banks of the State that they will support the South Car olina Cotton Growers' Co-operative Association to tho limit are being re ceived dally, officials of the associa tion said to-day. LcUors were re ceived yesterday from over one hun dred banks, they said, stating their .Aeslxo-to...co-oporate.-with tho. organi zation In every way possible. Many of the banks have signified their Intention of launching vigor ous advertising campaigns in behalf of tho association and of doing everything in their power to encour age thoso farmers who havo not yet done so to sign tho contract. The Commercial Bank of Newber ry, with John M. Kinard as president, has already begun a campaign of this nature in Newberry county, the New berry papers having carried in their last issues largo advertisements hy their banks endorsing tho movement and urging the farmers to join. "After a thorough investigation of tho co-operative marketing plan," says tho statement by the bank, "we wish to stato that we heartily en dorso it, and without hesitating fur ther, advise every cotton grower in tliis and adjoining counties to join rf they havo not alrendy dono so. "If iho plan was not a good ono our government would not havo ngreed to loan tho association $10, 000,000 for South Carolina. "We aro going to hack the asso ciation to our limit, and in doing so wo fool that it moans a long step for ward In bringing independence and prosperity to tho farming Industry and putting it upon a moro secure and solid foundation. "Wo believe the farmers need to adopt moro modern and more busi ness-like methods, and unless they do this there can be no hope of lift ing their occupation from its present depression and putting it upon the organized and systematic basis that other enterprises rest upon. We see in co-operative marketing the first and most solid hopo for accomplish ing this. We look upon lt as sensible, bu8lne8s-llko effort to Increase ag ,rloultur*l; pro^fcrlty. iand think that | farmers should Join with each other in this enterprise. If you havo not Joined, don't stand back and lot your neighbor do this work for you. Co operative marketing, in our" opinion, is hore to stay, and wo are all going to benefit by it. Therefore, don't wait until the last drive is .inde, hut Join in with your neighbors and your friends nnd sign. "lt has been reported that the credit of farmers might ho injured if they joined the marketing con trnct. Don't be afraid pf this, for if you havo existed under the old plan, which has caused so many to lose their credit, wo assuro our cus tomers and friends that their credit will not ho injured with us in the least on account of signing tho mar ketlng contract, nor do wo believo their credit will bo injured with any other business institution. "Co-operativo markoting spoils prosperity to all of us, and wo want to see the county sign up 100 per cent strong." There aro no traffic towers or sem aphores in Berlin.

Washington, July 2G.--Relegating the famous French and Louisiana lotteries to tho piker class, Secretary Mellon staged a billion-dollar draw in gin his private offlco in the Treas ury Department building Tuesday evening. Dosldes establishing a rec ord Secretary Mellon's lottery niuo hud tho novel feature of tho winners j hoing losers-thoso whose numbers wore not drawn profiting rather than those whose numbers were called out. Under tho Victory Loan terms the government ls authorized to call In half of tho Issue on Dec. 15, 1922. Tho. other half will run to. maturity May 20, 1923. Tho drawing Tues day was to dctorinine which of tho bonds are to bo called In. Governor Strong, of tho Federal Resorvo Bank of New York, was present, and there wore a score or more of newspaper correspondents as specially Invited guests. A Million Winners. It is estimated that there fe a million or moro winners b> Outdraw ing. In that class are all persons who hold Victory notes, the last of the war issues, of the serial letters G, H, I, J, K and L. Thoso holding victory notes of the serials A, B, C, D, E and F are the losers-that ls, they will have to turn iu their notes by Dec. 15. At any r?te, interest payments will cease on that date. The advantage to the government In calling in half of the Issue, which will amount to one billion dollars, ls that there will be a great saving in interest. The Victory notes pay 4% per cent, whereas the treasury is now borrowing money for ' less I thagL_ .4/.por-cen'f!. By issuing :ttfc#u^ ' curlties to raise funds to retire tho Victory notos, therefore, the govern ment will save in tho neighborhood lof $10,000,000. Tho secretary explained that ho had decided to determino tho notes to be called in hy lot and asked for suggestions ns to how the drawing should be made. Staged Simple Drawing. Ono of the correspondents took tho two orders, folded them identi cally and placed them in a waste basket. "Be careful there," Mr. Mellon cautioned. "You are handling a bil lion dollars." Tho Secretary held the basket while Chief Clerk Platt fished out one of the sheets and handed lt to Mr. Mellon. He rend out tho serial let ters A, B, C, D, E and F. Notices that tho Victory notes hearing those serial letters have been called in will bo sent to all tho banks of tho country. Holders may turn tho notos Into Federal Reserve Banks or private banking Institu tions on or after December 15 and rocoivo face valuo and accrued inter est. Turning in Notes Now. Local hanks inform us that num bers of their customers aro turning In their notos now for rodomption by the government. Look your bonds over, and if you hnvo any of tho se rial lettors A, B, C, D, E, and F you can turn them in and got your money hack if you so dosiro. At all ovonts you will not receive any interest on them after tho 15th of noxt Docom bor, tho tinto tho recall of this por tion of tho Vlctorp notes has hoon set as tho extrome limit. Tho financial stroke made hy tho government ls like a two-edged sword, cutting both ways. Tho gov ernment, hy withdrawing these cer tificates, or notes, or bonds, ns you may profor to designate them, will savo intorcst because Uncle Sam, be ing a largo borrower and with lots of good security, can borrow monoy to-day for less than tho rate named on these bonds. Then, too, tho ones who hold theso notes cnn benefit by turning thom into cash at this time, bocauso ho can got, from almost any bank in our country, at least one fourth of ono por cent moro for his money than tho bpndd pay, ns our hanks all seem glad to borrow your monoy and pay you fivo per cont in teuost on it.
