TIBUT E TO .1R. 0. C. CHA PPELL i c On July 29, our friend and brother passed to the great beyond. Mr. Chappell was 75 years of age, but a few months back, one could c scarcely realize him to be that old. e He was a towering figure physically. n We will sadly miss his cordial greet- c ing, his genial words, and brotherly a hand clasp. In early young manhood when 16 0 or 18 years of age he went with his ( father to serve in the civil war, he t was a brave and faithful soldier of c the Confederate army. One by one n our dear old Confederate Veterans e ma ssing away, now we meet with s a few old men who represent t grand army of soldiers. Mr. Chappell was first married, e soon after the Civil war, to Miss Mat- I tie Howell, of that marriage six e children survive him, also four broth- I ers and two sisters. He was twice married, the second time to Miss 1 Lula McMeekin. God bless the sur- - viving widow and may she remember that He no wounds can heal. The last three of f-our months of his life were days and nights of much suffering, but borne with Christian t fortitude. When the sun was beginning to sink over the Western hills, his earthly sun went down and his soul went out into the morning of eternal (lay. On Sunday 30th, gatt -ed around the last bed that opened in the beauti ful cemetery at Crockin Run, they laid the pilgrim down to rest. A Friend. ADOLPHUS LYLES DIES AT EIGHTY. Adolphus C.

Many members of the South Caro lina Cotton Growers' Cooperative as sociation have signified .their inten-1 tion of selling their old cotton through1 the association and are ready to turn * ~er to the association the day the1 aociation is ready to receive it, offi cials of the organization announced yesterday. Delivery of cotton grown prior to 1922 is optional with the members, but scores of them have written that they wish the association to handle it for them. Full instructions to the membership of the association regarding the de #li y of their cotton will go forwar di \ishortly, it is announced. Every< ~ber will be told where to de Jiver his cotton, receive his advance, etc. These instructions will be sent out by the field service department. The headquarters of the association - present a busy scene these days, a large force being at work day and Snight completing the preparations for handling the cotton of the associa-r .tion's members. The association isi now established in its new quarters,t 1425 Main street, which has been des-s Jignated as "Cotton Cooperative Build- b e ing". The office force is rapidly be-] ing organized. S Officials of the association said yes- 2 terday that every mail not only - brought assurances of the strongest] support and loyalty from members but also brought in many new con tracts. Complete satisfaction with the progress of the new membership campaign is expressed and officials believe that the association will begin its year with the largest sign-up of any cooperative association in the belt. The association is already assured of more money than it will need for financing the crop, it was said by officials. Money in abundance and Sgood terms has been offered it by - South Carolina banks, the war ce corporation and by banking r nsmtutions in other sections of the ountry. The financial problem was ne of the easiest to solve, it was aid. None of the statewide cotton ooperative associations have experi need any difficulty in arranging for ioney this fall. The war finance orporation has approved advances ggregating $60,000,000 to them and 11 of them have been flooded with ffers of money from other sources. )fficials of the association point to his as proof of the fact that in finan ial circles the cooperative market ig idea is looked upon with the great st favor as being fundamentally ound. The annual pinic at Tirzah, in fork county, which will be held Tues |ay, will be a cotton cooperative mar :eting picnic this year and the coop rative marketing of cotton will be he princ'pal topic of the speakers. An additional speaking (late an o.-, :ed yesterday was F. R. Shands f Texas for Darlington, Monday, Au dst 2S. Weevis Attack Cotton inV York. York.-'*.n. thc 'roll weeril has at acked :he York cotton crop in gen fine earnesl was the information -,rought here by John R. Blair of B.irsville, ccunty demonstration ent. Mr. Blair said the pest is ap e.varing in every section of the county nd is beginning to puncture the ;quares of the stalks that have reach d this stage of growth. He himself ounted 15 punctured squares on one -ow within a space of 25 yards, he stated. Only the :advance guard of the wee il reached York last year and no ma :erial damage resulted to the cotton rop. Some of the more optimistic )f the farmers expressed the opinion :hat'no great harm would be done the rop this year, but the -presence of he weevil this early and in consider tble numbers would seem to indicate :hat theis belief was not well found d. Mr. Blair, who spends two days ere every mcnth to give farmers the >enefit of his advice. discussed the ituation with quite a number of :lanters and advocated energetic nesures to stem the weevil attack. rhough counseling them a.gainst be 3oming panicy. he told them not to inder-rate the weevil menace and not o wait until the pest had gained eadway before resorting to methods >f attack. The most important step, just now. he thought, was the gather g and destroying of the punctured Nuares, as the/ number of squares eft in the fleld will determine the ize of the next generation of the weevil. The extent of the damage wrought >y the pest, aside from the effective less of com'ative measures, Mit 3lair said, would depend on weather yonditions during July and August ith an abundance of dry weather tnd sunshine during that period, the yest's activities can be curbed, hereas a heavy precipitation will spe'U crop disaster. On his own 'arm, Mr., Blair said. he is expecting yield of four bales to the plow un r favorable weather conditions and' if only one baie if conditions are un propitious.

Eighteen republicans and all of the democrats supported this amendment. The plan as finally approved is a sharp modification of that originally proposed. The President is prohib ited from using American valuation except in the case of dyes and certain coal tar chemicals covered in two paragraphs of the bill and is required to base changes on the rates in differ ence to the "costs of production" at home and abroad instead of one dif ference in "conditions of competition." Also the President could not change duties from specific to ad valorem or from ad valorem to specific, nor trans fer articles from the duitable list to the free list. ner could be raise any rate beyond any maximums specifi cally fixed in the bill.
