The success or failure of this, great plan for South Carolina in joining up with seven other great co Hon growing Slates depends LARGELY upon tlit> WORK of the SIGNERS during theso last few days of April. Numbers of signers in this and oilier South Carolina counties have been untiring in their efforts to gel others lo join. These and other sign ers must continue to fight the good light until the 'Until curtain is .-ung. For Hie best interests of all lt MUST BB DONE. IT CAN BE DONE-IT MUST DE DONE - IT WILL BE DONE. Only Two Moro Weeks. Only two more weoks romain for intelligent farmers to decido whether they shall support tho old and anti quated system ot selling their cotton holnlessly, ignorantly and In compe tition with every fellow-farmor, or whether they shall join In tb^o groat army of producers who aro legally handing themselves together In niuo groat Southern States for the purpose of selling their product, with the same (logreo of Intelligence as practically every other class of people employ. Thero can bo NO ARGUMENT against lt.. Somo potty EXCUSES aro offered. J. D. Coghlan, Texas dirt farmer, of Ennis, Texas, on a tour of fifteen South Carolina counties, states that, ho averaged $15.00 a halo moro for his cotton through tho Texas Asso ciation than prices paid on the streets thero for tho snmo grades. How could tho association do tibs? Sim ply through an efficient handling of largo lots, scientifically graded and stapled, soiling 'DIRECT to largo buyers or oxporters, giving thom ex actly what they wanted, quality guar anteed, In any amount wanted, from n fow hundred to several thousand hales, of Uko grade, staple and typo. The Oklahoma Association is hand ling 37 classes of cotton. Tho avor ago farmer turns ovor to the middle men about three or four kinds only, and theso middling or below, when a largo porcontago of cotton runs ABOVE middling, and tho staple fre quently commands a premium. This premium ls now rocolvod hy middle men and NOT by tho mnn who pro duced it. The logltimato buyor, of largo cal ibre, can continue to buy from tho association. Only tho small rtnd Inef ficient buyers, or "pinhookors" will bo eliminated. Hut whon a salo ls made, the producer names tho grado, Htnplo and prico, based upon knowl edge of valtto equal to any buyer's knowledge Tho producer Js thon, )n Sale for this il.50, $2 and $1.00.

Why should any man uphold the preso nt one-sided system? Why should any ma,n continue to dump his chief money crop in complote K3 NORANCE of values? Where are thc four most prosper ous counties of tho world? In Cali fornia, where co-operative marketing ON THIS SAME SYSTEM is working with practically ALL farm products. Wliy does tho Beaufort farmer soil his truck co-operatively? Why does the Georgia peach grow er selj his fruit co-pperatively? Why iloes tho Californian sell prac tically all classes of farm'products co-operatively? isn't the cotton of the South Caro lina farmer of ns much value to him as tho peaches or truck of the other farmers? In Justice to one's family, in jus tice to posterity, reason demands that WE MUST CO-OPERATE ON TJIIS SAME SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM to get what ls due us, and has been duo us for marty years. THERE TS NO HALF-WAY PLACE. Tho timo is here to DE CIDE, Alto you, Mr Cotton Grower, going to sign tho contract or aro you going to continue in your allegiance to the present rotten system-con tinuo to feed the speculators, con tinue to foster and encourage unfair dealings, based upon tho ignorance >f the producer; continue to allow yourself to be cheated; continue lp let your family toil and sweat for nothing, because of your individual ist io, conceited self? THERE AiRE ONLY TWO SIDES ! On Which side ARE YOU? In time to como your neighbors and fellow men will remember the side you took. May you be guided to choose aright is my earnest hope. George R.

K10ITII SERIOUSLY HURT When Auto Crashed Int? Ills Ruggy. Skull Fractured, Shoulder Hrokcn. Thomas lt. Kol th, one of tho mosf prominent farmers of Oconoe, was seriously injured last saturday night about 9 o'clock, when the buggy In which ho was riding was struck by a large Marmon automobile driven by Henry F. Parker, of Anderson. The car and buggy were going In tho same direction, and it ls stated that the driver of tho car, discovering be would bo unable to pass tho buggy on the left side, endeavored to pass on the right, crashing into tho buggy and knocking it and Its occupant over an embankment some 30 feet in height. Mr. Keith received a frac ture of the skull and a broken shoul der, the skull fracturo ranging, we aro informed, from a point, toward the front of the hoad almost to the base q|_tUo bram- lils lujuries are "considered as very serious Indeed, if not critical. He was given medical attention Saturday night at Seneca, and was taken to the Anderson Hos pital on the first train Sunday morn ing. Mr. Parker was badly bruised, but no bones were broken. He, too, was precipitated over tho embank ment, and the car he was driving is said to have been pretty badly used up in the wreck. Tho accident occurred between Seneca and Clemson College, on the curve in tho road where the bid road bed of the Southern railway is used as a section of the new highway. It has often been spoken of as a very dangerous point in tho new highway system of our county.* From the Anderson Mall of Mon day wo clip tho following statement in regard to tho unfortunate acci dent: "According to persons who arrived after the accident, Parker said that in rounding the curve his lights did not shine on the road, and as he straightened out tho lights foll upon tho buggy. 'He was driving fast and saw that ho would bo unablo to pass tho buggy on tho left hand sido, so attempted to out back of lt on tho right. Tho bank gave way Just as the car reached the buggy, tho front wheels striking tho buggy and hurling both buggy and automobile down a HO-fool embankment* "Parker was thought to bo fatally Injured nt first, and was not brought to Anderson, but was taken on to Seneca. Mr. Keith was brought to Anderson and placed in tho Ander son County Hor ?Ital. He is a man of over r>0 years of age, and though his wounds aro very serious he is thought to have a very good chance for recovery. He has been in a semi conscious condition since ho was brought io Anderson, and his condi tion, according to hospital reports, remains unchanged. Parker is re ported as being much bettor. It seems that no bones in his body wore broken and his injuries consist main ly of bruises and shock." Frlonds in Walhalla wore indeed sorry to learn of the accldont to Mr. Keith, who Is an old Walhalla hoy, being a son of the late Col. and Mrs. M. C. Keith. Ho is well, known over Oconoo, and there aro hosts of warm friends who will join with us In tho hope that tho gravo fears as to the ultimate results of his injuries will prove groundless. Mr. Keith is a brothor of Mrs. W. H. Moss, of Walhalla; Mrs. J. R. Anderson and Jas. H. Keith, of An derson, and William R. Keith, of Chappells. Pastors' Conference.
