Harvie Jordan, of Georgia, ! Urges Reform in Handling Cotton Before House Commerce Committee. READ1 TO CONSIDER IT "Congress should pass a law, if it has the power, providing for a uniform standard bale of cotton, prescribing a method of sampling and baliDg and fixing the tare, since the farmers and ginners will not voluntary by agreement effect these reforms." Harvie Jordan, of Georgia, made this statement in concluding an arguI ment before the house committee Friday in the hearing now on to devise improved methods of handling cotton. Representative Adamson, cf Georgia, chairman of the committee, has issued j a general invitation to farmers and ginners to appear before the committee and give their views as to hew to affect this reform. Representatives \ of the steamship companies, railroads and bankers have already been heard. "If any federal legislation is necessary the committee is ready to consider it.'' Representative Adanison in issning an invitation to other miners to appear. Mr. Jordan expressed his deliberate judgement following a careful study of the world's production of cotton, that unless the Southern cotton bale reaches the foreign spinner in better condition Great Britian and Germany will develop their cotton growing fields to a point where they will be j a independent of the Southern states of j| America. Mr. Jordan has attended j i several meetings of the International j | Cotton Spinner's Association and has j g recently returned irom a stuay or ruj ral credits in Europe. ? "The British government is now unEdertaking farm demonstration work j similar to that of our own departi ment of agriculture to promote the J cultivation of cotton in British South j Africa, Egypt and India. f) "Russia is producing every year one F million bales of cotton. China is pro^ ducing an untold amount, almost enough to supply her own mills, Egypt I is producing 1,750,000 bales, and India 5,000,0?)0." Mr. Jordan recommended that ginners should be required to have a uniform gin box 27 x 54 inches; that compression should take place at the gin go that cotton would not have to be assembled and compressed en route. Presses could be put in, he said, for as low as $750. Ginners would annually save their patrons more than that amount in reduction of freight ! raies on me uncompressed cotton. The so-called "city crop" of cotton, meaning the amount taken from the bales in sampling, amounted annually to 100,000 bales worth ?0,000,000 estimated. Cotton should be sampled at the gin, he insisted, and there wrapped, marked with the net weight and the actual amount of tare, and its original entry should represent the bale of cotton in all transactions. If there was fraud, it would be easy to trace the bale to s the original seller, if the bale was properly stamped. | Store To Be Enlarged. I John Fitzmaurice of Columbia has 3 just completed installation of a modI ern nassensrer elevator in his store and has plans tor other improvements for the convenience of the shopping public, and for the increased space necessary for his growing business. One of the improvements contemplated is the extension of the second floor to the full length of the present first floor. This will give a great deal of additional space on the second fioor, I bnt, in addition to this, Mr. Fitzmauriee expects to add a third story to the j building at some early date. As his bui'a ig has a frontage of "?J> feet, these improvements will add greatly to the amount of floor space and will give Mr. Fitzmaurice one of the largest I, stores ill tins part ot me cuiumv. !

In _ two instances the vote was so close that an error of s box of a very small , | precinct in each county changed the ^ ! result. In nearly all of the counties ! , . ,, 1 the margin of victory was very small. Florence and Jasper have retained the t( dispensary system, and Bamburg, ^ Barnwell, Dorchester, Oaihoun, Lex- '* ingtor. Sumter and Orangeburg have vot- d co return to the sale of liquor bv the county. Abbeville and Williamsburg voted to remain in the dry ranks. Sumter and Lexington counties were reported as having voted dry and the c?oial returns may yet change the result in some of the counties. Abbeyi^e was the only county that gave a decided majority, the antidispensary foices piling up a majority of 55S against the sale of liquor. If official returns bear out the unofficial figures, South Carolina will have thirteen dispensary counties, as follows: Sumter, Lexington, Charleston, Richland. Florence, Georgetown, Beaufort, Aiken, Dorchester, Calhoun, Jasper, Barnwell and Orangeburg. Karman-Sarratt. On Sunday evening at S o'clock at the home of the officiating minister, the Rev. P. D. Risinger, Miss Ioeojine ~ Harman and Mr. Madison G. Sarratt were quietly married, only a few of j their most intimate friends being C present. The announcement of their marriage came as a great surprise the families and friends of the yo^ % people, and many hastened to the home of the bride to offer congratulations. The bride is the lovely young daughter of Mr. G. M. Harman, editor of The Dispatch, attractive in personality, charming in her manner, gracious and kind, and she has endeared herself to a large circle of admiring friends, not only in Lexington, but throughout the state. i The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. 0.

He is a young newspaper man of ability and promise and before coming to Lexington two months ago to accept the position of associate editor of The Dispatch, was editor and publisher of the Greenville (N. 0.) Semi-Weekly Independent. Since coming to Lexington Mr. Sarratt has won the confi- * dence and esteem of all with whom he has become associated, and the people of the entire communty will be |S glad to learn that he is now to become I a permanent and genuine Lexingtonian. 1 Mr. and Mrs. Sarratt are now at 9 of tVio Vinmo nf iiULLl U IV> tUCii HiCXlUB uu iuu wi the bride's father, where they will reside for the present, at least.
