! 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.

I' modern type and is already proving a
i great convenience to shoppers.

TWO COUNTIES VOTE DRY
w
Nine of the eleven counties in this
ID
State which held elections to determine
whether liquor should be legally j1
sold within their borders Tuesday, a
August 19th. went wet and two dry, ;
according to the latest reports. 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. H. Sarratt, now of Greenville, but
formerly of GafTney, S. C. 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
