E WALHAL ir Paya to B CO-OPERATIVE COTTON MARKET Plan is Great Constructivo Agency In Developing Southern Prosperity. Columbia, Nov. 27.-Co-operative marketing of cotton is the greatest constructive force now working for the development of Southern pros perity, in the opinion of Carl Wil liams, president of the American Cot'on Growers' Exchange. Mr. Wil liams has been In Columbia for two days in conference with the board of directors and management of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' As sociation. "The ord?rly marketing program followed by tho cotton co-operatives of tho South is generally acknowl edged to be the groat stabiliizng force on cotton prices," said Mr. Williams. "Thus lt has assured tho Southern farmers of tho good price for cotton during the poriod whon farmers themselves had cotton to soil. This same result haR been experienced by other commodity co-operative asso ciations in the United States. Those agricultural sections which have pro fited for tho longest poriod by this system of marketing aro to-day first In tho United States in per capita bank deposits, and among farmers first in per- capita trade in stores, first in good roads, first in quality of rural schools, |ilrst in salaries of country teachers, first in number and size of country churches, first in snl arles of rural preachers, and first in rural recreation'. "These things have direct relation to city and town business. The ef fect of the co-operatives has boon to increase tho percentage of the con sumer's tlino, which the' farmer re ceives, and thereby to increase his buying power and rnlse his standard of living. Tho natural result is that all business is benefited proportion ally. "I am vory much pleased with tho progress of the South Carolina Cot ton Growers' Co-operative Associa tion and equally well pleased with tho support which has been given tho association by farmors, business mon and tho bankers of this State. Tho association lias already passed tho ex perimental stage and has become a permanent part of Mio life of 3outh Carolina. There in every indication that jt will handle more than 20 por cent of the total cotton crop of South Carolina this year, and thnt lt has become a dominant figuro iii tho cot ton business of this State. ("Eight othor State organizations of similar size, character and policies are, working with the South Carolina association. Their total membership is moro than 17?,000 cotton farm ers." -Notice-We will only have 'two moro gin days-Friday mid Saturday, Dec. 1st and 2d. West Union Oil Mill.-adv. Entertainment, nt Neville's.
