"Your Soul." Rev. Hahn-is a man
of imposing personality and visible!
strength of character, humDrcu^ -md
possessed of all the characteristics

"Some of the business to be "con-;

the proposition of fostering a troop

"Ameriean legion ^members' frpm
the various post? oter the state are
planning: to attend th?>" national convention
to be held in New Orleans
October* 10' to 20. South Carolina
should be well represented as the
convention is not likely to be held so
'near heme in many years. Cities in all
parts of the country want the b'T
mcctir.e .and it isvright that it should
be shifted arcund. Members in
South Carolina who are contemplating:
attending: the convention should
get in touch with the department ad- .
jutant at Sparanburg and secure information
with regard to rates and
accommodations. All hotel reservations
are to be made through the department
adjutant.
"There are more than 100 posts in
South Carolina. About twenty-five
of these are on the inactive list. Veterans
in the town where the legion is
inactive have it in their power to
render a service to their comrades
ana to tne communis nv i-c^g .?!?*,ing
the legion post. Any one who is
interested will find the department
officers, members of 'the state executive
committee and other lsagion
leaders ready to assist in any way
possible. Get busy and reorganize
your post in time to celebrate Armistice
day. |
"The Greenwood post and the auxiliary
will present a play this week.
TvTrs. Sam Rosenberg is in charge of
the affair and the legion members
are optimistic ever the outcome. Legion
posts over the state will find the
staging of minstrels and other amateur
plays enjoyable to th? members
and of financial assistance to the organization.

DOES IT PAY TO SELL COTTON
BELOW COST OF PRODUCTION
\ ] WtT' fltm 'haVe'jjjnrat; 2O0,Ofi0. bsl&
of cotton held over from the 1921
crop and cotton is nov; selling for
$50.00 a bale more than it was'12
months ag-o. Let's calculate a little
and see if it pays to hold cotton. A
great many are always ready to say
that it does not pay to holi cotton
but that the best way is to sell as
fast as you g3t it ginned. By holding
these 200,000 bales of cottcn to d::to
we have added $10,000,000 of v/aa'On
to the state. If this cotton had not
been held off the market thst amount
of'wealth would have gone into the
hands of the speculators. Has it not
paid to hold it?
The same thing cs.n be done wxui
the crop we are now gathering1. I
think that our ^tate will not make over
600,000 bales this year and if held
of? the market for even six months
at least 10c a pound can be added to
the orice it is seliinsr for today. An
other $50 a bale can be made, adding
$30,000,000 of wealth to our
state. Now, is this,worth our while?
I certainly think it is. Considering
the condition of our state at present,
the business interests of our state
cannot afford to lose 'this great
amount of money.
How can this enormous amount of
money be saved and added to ths
wealth of the state. Cotton is one
of the best collaterals in the world on
which to have money advanced and
it is doubly so now, for it is admitted
by some of the bast cotton men in
* - ? -
the world that we nave no*: enou^r.
cctton for the world's consumption in
1923 even if the consumption is no
greater for next year than it hai
been this year. If this cotton is warehoused
and the receipts turned over
to the bankers, I believe that they
can get money on them and I want
to urge every farmer who has not
signed his cotton to the Cooperative
Marketing association to warehouse
lxii* t-\i or.;! l-onn if nfT fhp mr>r
iilO UUwtV/ii CU.U !?'. V V ?/?* v?*?
ket. I think that you are bound to
see higher prices in the n?ar f'; ive.
The world is no io::TO;* 'join:? t believe
the big crop estimating lies.
T ... t
Tney are now ocginnir.g i;> rsahz?
th.it we will make under ten million
bale? this year and they are beginning
tu wonder where the cotton is
coming: from to clothe the neonif r."
the world. If not anoter bale of spot
cotton were sold in the South *or 30
days, you would ses ccttcn . il abovo
25c, and I think you would over. ?ee
:J0c cotton. The cotton is growing
shoi'ter every day and the world i.>
needing cotton cloth as it has never
needed it before. A south-w'de holding

I ATHLETIC FIELD
The State. :
Newberry, Sept. 16.?When the

ported for practice Monday Coach
I McLean led it out on the new athletic
, field, which, when completed, promI
ises to be one of the largest and best
. -finite in thsi It measures 700
j by 330 feet and provides ample sroce
for a football gridiron, a baseball
j field, a quarter mile track, and tennis
j courts. There will be, besides the
i bleachers, two stands with a combined
seating capacity of about 2,000. j
The old field which now passes into
history has been the scene of rrfeny
| close and exciting contests. In the
, 23) years of its existence, it has been
i used by three champion baseball
i teams?those of 1905, 1912, and
1917?besides other excellent aggre

battles such -as the 159 to 0 victory

over Barley Military institute
in the rir^z in:2rs:h01 astic game ever

victory over the Presbyterian college
in ISIS, the heart rending.defeat of
the Ind'.ans by the Bluescockings in
1916 by the margin of one neii goal,
' and the victory of MacLeon s charges

Thanksgiving day. Among the outI
standing players who have caVo-fted
I over it with the pigskin are IvlacLean,
Swanton, Baker, Taylor, Renkin,
Dellmin, McPhee, Beede and tho
Borts brothers. In a sense the old
1 field was a monument to the well
' 1 *

i letics committee, Dr. E. B. Setzler,

j have passed.
I shculd be started at once. So long
; as cotton is thrown on the market it
will not go up.
I know Texas is selling her cotton
' about as fast as she gets it out. Texas
will not make over 3 million bales
this year and it is opening very rap
idjy. By Oct. 15 she will be through
' gathering. They will soon be through
5 and out of the way this yea *. You
j must remember that Texas can make
! cotton at least 5 to 7c cheaper a
j pound tan we can east of the Mississirni.
! * *
j The farmers, bankers and business
men of the South have the cotton;
situation in their own hands this year,
as they have not had it in fifty years,
i They can name the price at which
they want to sell. I want to urge
jour bankers and business men to^et
behind the cotton and let's save South
Carolina from financial ruin by all
forces working together. We can
add many million dollars to the
wealth of our state. Single handed
we can do nothing, together we can
do everyrng that is rlnrht and I know
that this ri'/hr. Cotter, is our great
money crop and whc-n we get rid of
what wo now h^ve on h?r .1 it will be
a 1 r>n;; time before we will have this
much agiin. I bel:e**e we will save
our country in the future as we have
