Campaign's Climax Staged in Wilson. The world's largest Cooperative Marketing Association entered the world's largest tobacco market at Wilson, N. C., on Saturday, July 8th, marking the climax of the whirlwind campaigns in the Carolinas which have resulted in a ten thousand in crease in membership for the Tobac co Growers' Cooperative Association b within the past ten weeks. Oliver J. Sands, Executive Mana ger of the Association of 75,000 to bacco growers addressed the mam moth mass meeting of tobacco grow ers, merchants and bankers from Eastern Carolina. More than a thousand contracts a week have been pouring steadily into Raleigh headquarters and mark the successful campaigning which contin ues in South Carolina, Virginia and Eastern North Carolina. The recent statement of C. C. Car rington, President of the United States Tobacco Association, that the Tobcaco Growers' Cooperative Asso ciation is now grown into a formid able rival to the independent dealers and warehousemen, has been follow ed by some of the most hostile adver tising which has yet appeared in op position ^to the organized growers. This opposition is stirring the growers to redouble their efforts and more than 600 contracts from Virgin ia have come in since the recent meetings at South Boston, Chatham, Gretna, Burkeville, Amelia and , Drake's Branch and Bedford, where . Senator Borah, Oliver J. Sands, J. Y. Joyner, Joseph M. Hurt and other leaders of the big Cooperative ad dressed thousands of growers. Severely arraigning men who have ; fostered rumors that extravagant ? salaries are paid the officials of the . Marketing Association, Oliver J. i Sands, Executive Manager has au thorized the following statement: "There are some people so selfish ; and narrow-minded that they cannot . believe that there are business men , living in Virginia, North Carolina and 3 South Carolina who are willing to de- , vote their time and talents to the j 3 service of the people and their states, j ] "These people have stated that I , am receiving large compensation for ! ? my services. This I deny. I am work ing in this wholly because I believe it will be of great benefit to our peo pie, and I know that if we help the . farmer we help all the people. ,^ I will receive reward in personal , satisfaction and in the same manner as every other merchant and banker," , says Mr. Sands who asked "Why is it that cooperative marketing is increas- . ing and growing wherever it has been , tried?" and pointing out that a few , years ago three hundred million dol- j lars of products were marketed , through co-operative associations, and that this y?ar more than one bil- . lion dollars worth of farm products will be sold by co-operative associa- . tions. With 58 per cent of the tobacco crop of South Carolina on signed ' contracts listed by growers, by pounds and acres at Raleigh head quarters of the Tob?cea Growers' Co- 1 operative Association, officials of the organized tobacco growers here yes- 1 terday discounted the report of inde- ] pendent warehousemen that only 26 ' per cent of the South Carolina crop 1 was signed with the association. Hundreds of new contracts arriv ing daily from South Carolina are 1 pushing the large majority member ship of the big producing counties 1 to higher percentage each week. Wil- 1 liamsburg county now passes a 90 1 per cent sign-up, Florence county is ] steadily climbing from 80 to 90 per ] cent, and Darlington county which . signed oved a hundred growers in the '' last few days is close to the three ' quarter mark. Robeson county sent in 72 con- [ tracts in a single day last week and is ? now close to a 90 per cent member ship. Pord Candidate for Presidency Washington, July 8.-Political Washington takes cognizance today of the fact that Henry Ford is a can didate for the presidency of the Unit ed States. Ford headquarters have been opened in Chicago. For the first time the picture of the manufacturer appears in newspaper advertisements throughout the United States. His is sue will be "Muscle Shoals a specific instance of the Republican party's unwillingness or inability to legislate in the interest of the people against the dictates of the masters of big business." Ford is running neither as a Demo crat nor a Republican. He entered both the primaries in Michigan when he aspired to a seat in the senate. Party government . like history is "bunk" to Ford, and party rectitude is anathema to him-like the Jew, it is said. Both Democratic and Republican headquarters in Washington have heard that Ford will offer "as the friend of the people, as one who has McCormick Very Much Inter ested in Road Program. McCormick, S. C., July 8.-A great deal of interest is felt and express ed in the fact that Augusta has final ly taken steps toward the improve ment in the road from Martinez to Furey's Ferry on the Savannah river. The improveent of this short stretch of road has been under discussion for some time and it is gratifying to the people of this section to know that at last the work will be complteed. at last the work will be completed. When this is done it Will complete for the best and at least by ten miles the shortest route from Greenwood to Augusta. The road through Mc Cormick county has been graded and top-soiled and put in first class con dition from Greenwood county line to Furey's Ferry on the Savannah river. Several years ago when the proposed route of the Dixie Highway was being agitated McCormick coun ty offered to complete this road which was then being graded, however, Edgefield made a proposition to build : a top-soiled road through that county and the route by Edgefield was ac cepted in preference to the route by McCormick. Notwithstanding the fact that McCormick lost out on getting the Dixie Highway, her determina tion to have a good road was not abated and today McCormick county has as good a top-soiled road from the Greenwood county line to the Savan nah river at Furey's Ferry as any county in the state and Dixie High way or no Dixie Highway.tourists are beginning to find that the route bhrough McCormick county is by far better than by Edgefield. Route maps and highway directories have avoided McCormick county by reason of the short stretch of five miles of rough road through Columbia county in Georgia, from Furey's Ferry to Mar tinez, but with the completion of that road, we are assured that this will no longer be the case and that the route through McCormick county by travel ers of the Dixie Highway from the mountains to Florida and to the sea coast will be adopted and that this route will also find favor on road maps and directories. When this is lone, a bridge at Furey's Ferry is as sured. There are many advantages offer ed by the route through McCormick county which Edgefield cannot of fer. The highway leading through Mc Cormick follows the railway from Greenwood to the Savannah river, passing through towns or villages svhere fuel and repair parts can be )btained, and where telegraphic com munication can be had in an instant, [n the'construction of this road the safety of the travel has been one of the main objects and as a means to this end all unnecessary railroad crossings have been eliminated. Work is now being done on the last of these railroad crossings where an underpass is being built. * But with the completion of the road from the Greenwood county line to Furey's Ferry MeCromick county has not given up her^program af good roads. Contracts recently let for the top-soiling of the road from the Abbeville county line to th? nvun road leading from Greenwood to Augusta. This road to the Abbeville county line will be met at the line by the Abbeville county authorities tvhich will open up even ^another route of travel from the mountains of western North Carolina to the sea coast via Pickens, Greenville, Ander son, Abbeville, McCormick and Au gusta. Here is where the road by Fu rey's Ferry will again play an impor tant part in bringing traffic through McCormick county and to Augusta and vice versa. always bucked the trusts, as one who having grown rich, desires to divide his money with those who have none." Under ordinary circumstances, both Democratic and Republican headquarters would scoff at Ford's plan to "fliwerize" the governent just as they scoff at his financial scheme of issuing currency with nat ural resources such as Muscle Shoals, rather than gold, as a basis. But the circumstances are not ordinary. Po litically, they are not revolutionary, and it is known that Ford has ac quired a hold on the imagination of the people. It is known that many of the people, farmers and laborers, be lieve that he could do with govern ment just as he.has done with the au tomobile. So old strategists of both parties do not scoff. They are indulg ing a passion for watchful waiting. The third party bugaboo has not lost its terror for the Republicans, and the Democrats are uncertain wheth er a candidacy for Ford would aid or hurt them.

It is sacred within the portals of the jury room. No judge can touch it nor any other power. We have our jury system because it was fought for through the centuries and it became as it is now the strongest bulwark against tyranny and oppres sion. No matter how guilty a man may be or how flagrant the violation of law may be, the jury must be con vinced by facts and argument, not by force or threats. Judges nor other officials have any right to intimidate a jury.-Greenwood Index-Journal. FOR SALE! Any one wishing a copy of the Life of D. A. Tompkins can procure same at the store of W. E.
