|? MORE SMALL GRAIN. \ J
Lately we have had occasion to c
pay visits to McCormick and Ander- t
son. The trips through the country *
have shown field after field on eve- i
ry farm between Abbeville and the *
other two county seats planted in
'* small grain, for the most part in c
oats. The merchants tell us that it c
8 has been hard to keep in seed oats s
and that there has been a big de- 1
itfand for wheat for planting pur- s
poses. Every farmer knows that the t
negroes on the farms have been com- c
ing in for several weeks seeking seed t
grain for the farms. ' a
All of this shows that the old *
horses and mules on the farms are '
groin ? to have better times, and right t
- _
well do they deserve better treatment t
than they have had in many cases, a
It shows too that we are learning our j
lesson. The fight against the boll wee- s
5 , vil has commenced as has the fight h
against the one crop system. Hereto- t
fore the big drawback against plant- t
ing oth^er crops than cotton has been I
that the negro' tenahts would not s
work corn nor plant grain. But the
average negro is learning this year
that but for the little -corn he raised
on his farm, and the hill of potatoes (
and the barrel of molasses, that he
would be hungry just now. In many
places he has learned that cotton fc h
now a delusion 'so far as getting j;
: something to .eat is concerned, and ^
while the process may be slow, every t
negro fanner is going to learn that p
SEE?"
. he must plant and grow food crops. ,n
? We hope that we may continue to be ^
able to make cotton under boll wee- ^
vil conditions, but if the conditions 81
? \ t are such that only a small amount 0
may be planted on each farm and
that food crops must be grown and e
gathered it may be after all that am
great calamity has not come to us. f,
At any rate the acres of oats, rye H
and wheat we see planted warns us,
and it should warn the merchants, tl
ts?
that people will gradually quit farm- o:
ing with the store in town as the base tj
of supplies, and that in the fullness s<
of time, (just how that will be we
.do not know,) the farms are going a:
j - to be self-supporting.

THE MARKETING ASSOCIATION dl
I?
&&. ' *
In a few weeks the work of organizing
the marketing association for
- cotton will be commenced in this
county. People are already discuss- M
iog the matter, and the manner of!
doing business is being investigated.
The chief objection to the.w
scheme as we have neard it is that a'
the cotton grower must sign up for <>'
. fiVe years and that he has no control st
over the marketing of his cotton, B
cannot say when to sell nor when to J'
hold.
Now that objection is not an ob- ti
jection, if you stop to think, to the
scheme now outlined, it is an objec- a;
tion to co-operative marketing under, tc
any scheme. Because, there can be 1111
v no co-operation if every man claims
the right to handle his own business u<
as he sees fit; to sell when he sees
fit and hold when he sees fit. That is 0:
a self-evident fact. The question j &
then is does cooperative marketing S1
1 X o ml I a
uiiuer ??y aysiem pay; ine answer cis
that it has always paid. The fruit- 01
growers in Georgia raised peaches *1
, and shipped them North for years, d'
only to pay the freight and then! c<
stand the loss. After so long thej
fruit-growers organized a marketing jw
association and peach-growing in (
Georgia is now?one of the best-pay- ( ^
ing industries in the state. The same J ^
is true of the melon^growers, of the. a'
truck growers, and of the growers w
of other things. All these' associa-J
tions had members to sign up for
ionger terms than five years. ;w
Of course the system will have its P<
' ' - ' : ~ ' ; - *. .':*? \ -
lefects which must be remedied
my system will have tliat. Of cours<
;oo there will be men put at the hea<
>f the enterprise who may make mis
lakes. All men make mistakes. W<
io not think that many dishonesnen
will be placed at the head of th<
narketing association for cotton
lor of any other product, because ii
hese men are selected by the cottoi
growers, or their representative mei
;here is no reason why dishones*
nen should be selected. If such s,r<
telected they will be turned out. Bu
10 such men, so far as we have hear<
iave been employed by other mar
ceting associations, and' they may a:
jasily be- employed by these as b:
he.cotton marketing association.
iHf cnnwp thAv will have larer*
imounts of money to handle an<
here will be times when they cai
ell out, or use their position foi
heir own advantage. That is true o:
he head of the cotton mill, the heac
>f the bank, and of the heads of t
rreat many other enterprises, bu
ew men in these positions prove un
'aithful to*the great trust committee
o them.
These are, as we say, some of th<
Abjections to the whole scheme o]
:o-operative marketing, whether th<
cheme now outlined or some other
The oibjections have their force an<
ihould be considered when men ar<
teing named to handle the selling
?f the cotton grown by the member!
o the end that no dishonest men b(
illowed to have places on the selling
>oards.
The only thing we know whicl
aight really make the scheme ?
ailure is to allow a politician her<
ind there to use it to help him ir
tolitical matters. The constitutor
hould provide that no man wh<
ias ever held office, or wno expects
o run for office shall hold any posi
ion of trust with the organization
f we can keep the politicians out w<
hall succeed, we think.
DAVIDSON FIRE
Chambers Dormitory Ue?troye<
Monday Morning By Fire.
'Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 28.?Th<
istoric Cham/bera building al
)avidson College, used as a dormi
ory in which one hundred and thiry
pup^s are living during the pres
nt college term, was burned this
lorning, the being discovered ii

was a total losiJf but students
ucceeded in saving the ??eater pari
f their personal effects.
The Chambers building was ere^d
in 1837.
It was the dormitory in which
ormer President Woodrow Wilson
ved while a student at Davidson.
College authorities announced
lat there would be no interruption
f class duties, the students (being
iken care of in the town of David>n.
The loss is fullv covered bv insur

AUGUSTA PLANS

Augusta, Ga., Nov. 28.?Augusta
ent to work gfrimly today to clear
way the fire ruins that are spread
vet the sidewalk and part of the
:reet on half of the 700 block of
road and-the entire 200 block of
ackson street.The
city's busiest comer is parally
buried beneath a mountain of
rick, but a large gang of workmen
re alreday on the scene in an effort
) make the street tidy for Christtas.
A board wall will probably be
uilt around the ruins to hide the
?ly scar.
The estimate of property owners
f a total loss in Saturday morning's
re of $1,831,000 is regarded by inarance
and business men as slightly
icaggerated. The conservative estiiatp
of the loss is $1,500,000, al
lough Chief Fireman Reynolds
oes not believe the damage will ex2ed
one million dollars.
A prominent Augusta capitalist,
ho asked that his name not he used,
iates that he has made the owner of
le property on the corner of Jackin
and Broad an offer, and if it is
ccepted a modern commercial hotel
ill be erected there at once.
More than 2,000,000,000 packages

At 8:30 firemen were still fighting
the fiaines but had them well under
control. In response to calls for
assistance companies had arrived

Cordele. For several hours both telephone
and telegragh communication
was destroyed. The telegraph communication
has been restored, but
the telephones are still out of commission.
Thg (broke out in a building
occupied by H. A. Burkhart as a garage
and automobile sales room and
spread rapidly. Thirteen new- auto
mobiles were destroyed in the building.
The second building to go was
that adjoining and used also by Mr.

business.
The building occupied by the John
son Hardware Company was the
third to go. This was used as a storage
warehouse. The fourth building
to be consumed was that owned i>y
Mrs. H. K. Sligh. The lower floor
was used as a garage and for the
storage of automobiles while the upper
floor was an apartment house
and well tenanted. Many of the tenants
