ABBEVILLE HAS U
COTTON GRADER I
c
??? k>
Farmers of Anderson County Have I
Not Accepted the Plan Offered '
By Byers. J
? 2
At a meeting of the Abbeville coun 1
ty farmers last week it was decided
that the services of a cotton grader
is needed at that place and a move- <
anent was begun which ended :n the
expenses of a grader for the period
of a year being secured. The grader
has already been obtained and the'
farmers of Abbeville county are as- .
sure<? -ihat their cotton will be pro-)
perly graded and that will receive:
strict middling prices for that grade;
f cotton and not have any buyer or;
set of buyers cheating htm by say-1
ing that the cotton is not good mid !
dling when it is.
The securing of a cotton grader at
Abbeville is one of the results of An-,
derson county having had a grader in
the past. Letters that Bespoke the
good work that was done here by the
market association and the cotton
grader have been publishes In the
daily papers of this city and that in-(
formation has penertated the darkness
that has been over any person
ir. Abbeville who might have been
prejudiced against a grader and the
work of securing a grader was be
guu and accomplished.
The question that is before the
farmers of Anderson county today is ,
"whether or not they are going to secure
the services of a cotton grader
for the fall marketing. The business ,
men of this city have signed a con .,
tract, agreeing to pay half the expenses
of the grader provided the
farmers will pay the other half. It
has been decided that the grader
would be allowed to charge a small
fee for grading cotton, which would
aid in defraying the grader's expenses.
It has been placed squarely
before the farmers and they can decide
:iou* or wait until they have suffered
heavy loss on another crop, by
which* time it is safe to say they
v/ill need no encouragement in going:
"fifty-fifty" with the business
men in securing the grader.?Daily

RAILWAY RATES
WILL BE RAISED
i
(
To Take Care of Increased Wages?( .
Will Soon Cost More to Travel
Says Thom in Statement
Washington, July 22.?Milk and ]
passenger transportation are to bear |
substantial portions of the rate in- :
crease to be asked by the railroads of
i
the interstate commerce commission
to offset the $600,000,000 additional j.
expense caused by the labor board's n
award, it was announced today by A. n
P. Thom, general counsel for the as- t
sociation of railway executives.
* 1
After two days of continuous con- v
ferences the executives, :vir. mom p
said, have practically completed recommendation
to be submitted to the
commission for spreading the in-?.
creased expense to the l'oads over
passenger and freight traffic. i
The recommendations probably will v
be presented to the commission tomorrow.
<
(i
Passenger fares and rates, are not
included in the pending application .
of tiie roads for a freight rate in- ^
trioase of approximately 23 per cent. ^
M;-. Them declared, however, that it
v:;p planned to ask that the nassen
V I
cer traffic absorb as much as possible
oi' the new $G00,000,00U cnarge aoeration.
Increases will be
:..?ke.l on communication nrjtf mult!- ;
I)!'.* tickets and on Pullman charges, t
he said as well as on ordinary travel.
Transportation of milk or. which no ..
increase has heretofore been asked is r
Loi..-.iuered as a combination of n
freight and passenger traffic, Mr. g
Thorn added. Express rates also ^
will be expected to bear part of the N
increased burden, he stated.
The portion of the increased ex- j
pense to be absorbed by passengers
is expected to be about 1-2 in the
East and from 3-4 to 1 cent a mile c
in the West. The portion to be applied
to freight would amount to 8
per cent, a total of about 36 per cent
in increased freight rates to be c,
sought by the >roads.

Formidable
. II
The supporters of Senator Hardily
will be most foolish if they do
iot frankly realize the fcrmidableless
of the Cox a vi Roosevelt
icket. If they envelop themselves
n a mood of cocksuj'eness it may
rell prove a shroud to their hopes,
'our years ago in July Mr. Hughes
>aa certain of success.
Governor Cox is a seasoned poliician,
skilled in all arts of the
raft. He knows when it pays to be
old and when it pays to evade. He
rill do all ore man can to rub the
urse of Wilsonism from his candiacy,
and yet at the same time not
fiend the Administration, which
as still some strength with Repubiean
idealisU. In Franklin D.
ioosevelt he has a ticket colleague
,ho adds great strength, especially
n Now Yurk, where he is held in
list esteem as an independent Demi-rat
of the best type.
The twelve states of the Solid
scutl, excluding, Maryland, West
'"irginia, Kentucky and Missouri,
fluster 106 electoral votes. These
o'es are Democratic on any platorm
or none. Thus Governor Cox |
iceds but 100 from the border
tales and from the North and the j
Vest. The legislature of New York, I
Cew Jersey, Massachusetts and j
Pchode Island have all passed 2.75,
iquoV bills. Ohio went wet on a
eferendum. It is easy to see how it
s hoped to get the needed 130 I
t
lectoral votes.
Opportunity calls to Senator Har- ,
[ing to come out of his intrench-1
ncnts and to take the aggressive. A i
lefensive campaign is dangerous.!,
legation is not enough?the misecds
of the Administration are not!
nough basis for the campaign.
What does he propose to do to i
atisfy the progressive and inde- i
endents, who are not now wholly i
atisfied? The worst friends of the J
Republican candidates are those i
;ho seek to surround him with an j
tmosphere of "stand-patism."
What does he propose with
peo* to the treaty and the League
f Nations? His platform properly ifc
voids making particular attitude j
award the treaty a test of party ;
/
ealty. But the way is open for him i
o emphasize his jwn opinions. Will 1
e actively seek to achieve ratificaion
with reservations of the Lodge (
ind? As a Senator Mr. Harding 1
oted for ratification with the (
lodge reservations. Will he throw,'
he legitimate influence of the j
AJViifo Hnneo in their direction if he ^
> elected? ^
Would he give the Volstead act '
n adequate trial, or would he nul-|^
ify the Eighteenth Amendment, as;1
he Fourteenth has bfeen nullified j
y action and non action of Con-,'
ress? Will he maneuver not to of- i
end the wet vote, as four years;1
go Mr. Hughes was fatally peruaded
to be polite to the pro-Ger j(
ians? l(
No political organization fights ,
rell except when it is affirmative. s
'his is particularly true of the Re- ^ *
ublican organization. It is well to
idvertise a purpose to turn the ii j*
ompetents out. But after they ai*e |
urned out, what then? Is it th \
!an to carry on or is it merely to ^
tand still?
The Republican rank and file c
urn to Senator Harding with a (
mfs'mtx for him to reveal cne siun
f
f definite leadership. Probably no
;:cech of acceptance will be as
idfly real and be as potent touch-,
i.iC the November result as the one !
enator Harding' is soon to make.? j

WHY WOOD STAYED AT HOME ce
?: " a
From George Creel's book on J ad
"The War, the World and Wilson")
the following is taken: stc
"General Wood was not sent to pa
France for the very good reason up
;hat General Pershing,, commander^e
)f the American Expeditionary ^e:
Forces, did not ask to have him mi
sent, plain indication that Tie was gu
neither needed nor wanted in Co
France. The decision was not the arr
lecision of the President nor the gu
Secretary of War nor the Chief of
staff, but the weighed judgment of 1
jeneral Pershing, the soldier seected
for the high post of field
:ommand, and given full power Gi
;ven as he was held to full re- 28
iponsibility. All the Generals in ed
;harge of American training camps of
* - ii.. fr>
,vere sent to r ranee m uic auuuuci ->f
1917, not only that they might ~
;ee for themselves the goal to which
they were pointed, the style of
fighting, and the kind of soldiers |
;hat would have to be made, but
iqually for the purpose of permit-!
;ing General Pershing to pass upon
;heir personalities, character and ,
ibijities. The Generals returned, ap-1
>lied themselves to the work of
;urning- raw boys into fit defenders
lad in due time Pershing sent to
;he Chief-of-Staff a list of the
!
:ommanders that he desired to ac_ !
:ompany their divisions to France'
trVion tViA sfjurp nf embarkation,
ihould be reached. The name of
3eneral Wood was not on the list."
tl was Pershing, not Wilson, who
:ept Wood at home, just as it wasj
the General Staff, not the President
,
hat vetoed Col. Roosevelt's request'
hat he be permitted to lead a vol-!
L'.nteer division to France. Still, we
lon't suppose these facts make any
lifference. The President will have
o go on bearing the blame just
he same.?News and Courier.
