Clemson College, June 26.-"In "passing upon the grade and staple of 'cotton the licensed official grader is not personally interested as to x 'whether the cotton grades low mid- j .diing or strict middling," says D. W. j Watkins, Assitant Director of the , Extension Service. In answering the .question, What does the official grad ing and stapling of cotton mean to the producer? The government grades are his j standard and he is required to ad- ^ here strictly to them, let the benefit fallwhere it may/ He is frequently checked up in his grading to make sure that he is not grading "off" or ""on" the government standards. The _ farmer who has his cotton graded s thus knows what he has to sell. The * .only question that remains is to come to an agreement with a buyer on the price of a known article. There is no doubt that a great many buyers on the wagon or pri mary markets buy cotton at a price based on undergrading. This comes about in two ways: / 1. Many buyers of cotton do not know how to grade cotton accurately and therefore in buying they make sure they are safe as to grade and ' staple. Thismeans undergrading and a loss to the grower. 2. There are, among cotton buy ers, as among every other class, some who would willingly cheat their fei- t lowmen. A buyer of this kind would * knowingly take advantage of the ig- * norance of the seller to almost any ^ extent. Instances are known where 1 a buyer made a profit as much as 1 $50 on a bale by buying long staple ' cotton when the grower thought he 1 was selling short staple. Unfairness 1 of thjs kind inbound to occur unless cotton is properly graded and sta- ' pied. 1 It is worthy of note that many < honest progressive buyers favor of- i1 ficial grading for the season that in ' buying officially graded cotton they ' are no longer suspected by the grow- - ers of cheating on grades. ? Communications from many indi- ? vidual 'farmers in counties may be ? CHINA LETTER. (Continued from page one.) still the majority ar? not. Many young men after being educated do not want to marry the girl to whom they have been engaged by their parents. The idea of breaking an en gagement is not welcomed at all by the parents of either the boy or the girl, so they force them to marry and thus begins the wrecking of two lives. Today there is a man in Ameri ca because he does not want to mar ry a heathen and uneducated girl who has been kept at home in igno rance all her life, and if he comes back to China, his parents will try to enforce the marriage. When a girl is engaged in her youth, her parents keep her close at home and spend only what money on her they have to. At our college in Shanghai the young men reach the point where they sometimes want to commit sui cide in order to avoid marrying a heathen and illiterate girl. It is real ly pathetic. In my church is a fine young fellow who was engaged in his youth to a girl who is still illiterate and heathen. Well, he did not want to marry her, but was forced to, now he is ashamed to face the other fel lows in Sunday school and church. So you can readily see how difficult the problem really is. But I must stop. With kind regards andsincere good wishes, I am, Most cordially yours, J. El JACKSON. Will Reduce Large Stock. In order to reduce his very large stock which invoices around $60,000 Mr. Hubenstein will conduct a special sale for 15 days beginning Saturday next. He does not want to get caught with so large a stock if merchandise declines in price. He purchased his goods, most of them, many months ago and is in position to make a very close price, enabling those who spend their money with him to get the best possible returns. Read what he says in his page advertisement this week. ' Mr. Rubenstein stands ready to back up every statement he makes and will stand squarely behind every piece of merchandise he sells. What more could one ask. Do your shopping as soon as the sale begins so as to get the cream of the large stock. An Original and Splendid In stitution.
