dftumorous department. Ah!?A certain cantankerous old gentleman not long ago advertised for a chauffeur, who was required, among other qualifications, to possess an intimate acquaintance with the neighborhood, but to his surprise he received not a single application for the post. "I cannot understand it at all," he said, during a chat one day \ylth a man at the local livery stables ne naa mentioned the fact to. "Let me see," said the latter, as a gleam of Intelligence flitted across his face. "Ye advertised I believe, for one as must be well acquainted with the neighborhood, didn't ye?" "I did," replied the old gentleman, shortly. "I want some one who knows his way about." "Ah, that explains it," was the answer. "Ye see, them as knows the neighborhood *ud know you, too." Justerand's Wit.?Ambassador John Jean Jusserand, for the last twenty years the representative of Prance in the United States, has a Bense of humor that is a constant delight to Washington. What is probably hia prize quip was made some years ago, when the public was engaged in laughing a ridiculous statue out of the Capitol grounds. The Statue was of George Washington. It represented the father of his country sitting, entirely nude, amid the snows and wintry blasts of Capitol Hill, one finger raised solemnly above head. "I know what he is saying," M. Jusserand opined. "He is saying: 'My soul Is in heaven and my clothes are in the Nat\ ional Museum." Home Paper Week.?November 7-12 hn3 been designated all over the United States as "Subscribe for Your Home Town Paper Week"?which is rather out of the usual. We have "Dollar Day," , "Pay up Week." and every kind of days and weeks?so why not a week for the home paper? Some newspapers are about all that's progressive in many places and they are frequently the communities' best assets. \Vc hope the "week" will see many thousand subscribers added to the list of the "Home Town Paper" November 7-12 all over the country.? Hartwell Sun. Advice to Reggie.?"Reggie," said old Goldbags, as he handed over g banknote for 5 pounds to his son, but still kept hold of one corner of it as he delivered his homily: "Reggie, I don't want to stint you on spending money; whenever you go out with the boys?and girls?I want you to pay your share of the expenses, but ?" The old man stopped, then continued: "But. Ueeaie. everv once in a while I wont you to remember that it taken a hundred pounds three hundred and sixty-Ave days, working day and night and Sundays, at 5 per cent, to cam 5 pounds." Time to Rest.?A territorial battalion was on parade. After the usual inspection the colonel gave the order to march. The band struck up a lively air and the battalion moved on; but a trombone player on the left of the front rank stood still, causing the band to cense playing. The colonel, riding up to the man, exclaimed furiously; "Move on, man; move on. What on earth are you stopping for?" "Be aisy, sor; aisy," said the man, "I've got fifteen bars rest." Interested in Scooter.?Little Billy, being at the seaside, was taken ill and confined to his bed for a day. A timid caller came to inquire, a small boy unknown at the tfouse, evidently some playmate of the sands. Little Billy's mother was touched, praised the caller, kissed hiin for his thoughtful attention, and gave him chocolates. Billy's playmate then backed nervously down tiie steps, gathering courage as he went for a final inquiry: "If Billy dies." he said, when safely on the pavement, "can I hove his scooter?" Misunderstanding.?Two young women artists in Spain arrived at a country inn, hot, dusty, and thirsty. They couldn't talk Spanish, but wanted some milk badly, so one of them drew a most beautiful high-arty cow, while the other jingled some coins. The Spaniards looked and a boy was sent off post-haste. In half an hour the boy re nrned, hot and triumphant?with two tickets fo a hull fight. The Doctor's Advice.?A woman who had been to a garden party garbed in the least and latest bit of fashion's decree, on returning, to town experienced the first results cf a possible chill. She hastened to her doctor and sought advice as to the best means to prevent an on coming cola. The doctor was abrupt, ne mereiy said, "Madam, you had better go home, dress yourself, and go to bed." Funny.?Tne absent-minded father came down to breakfast in a rare pood humor?probably he had forgotten the reason why. Seeinp his sor. rt the table, he greeted him heartily. "How are you, my dear boy? And tell me, how is your father today?" Plenty of Wood Left,?"There is not a boy in this town who is as clever as our Tom." said Mrs. Brown. "How is that?" inquired Mrs. Black. Mrs. Brown?"Book at these two chairs. Tom made thorn out of his own head, and he has enouRh wood left ijn make nn armchair." HANDLING OF COTTON Clarence Poe Tells How Dumping and Careless Selling Affects Price. "The selling: and dumping of cotton by Individual growers, under present conditions, is one of the greatest conceivable "bear" forces on the cotton market. It is one of the strongest possible forces for breaking prices every fail on every pound of cotton we coll So writes Clarence Poe, member of ihe Organization Committee of the N. C. Cotton Growerfe' Co-operative association. In further developing his idea, he 'says: "Suppose a farmer has good middling cotton that Is really worth at the time It 4s offered 21 cents a pound. Suppose a buyer sayn to him,'I will give you 17 cents for your cotton.' Suppose the farmer finally gets 19 cents. Then when anothdr farmer comes along with good middling, Mr. Buyer says: 'Well, I have just bought a bale as good as yours for 19 cents,' or 'We ore paying 19 cents for this grade today.' The result is that the Becond farmer is likely to take 19 cents also. And so on with other farmers who come to the market. And the same depression in prices is forced by all other buyers of the less scrupulous sort. (Of course there are many buyers who want only a fair profit, but the farmer cannot discriminate.) "Now, what happens further? The average price paid for cotton on that market that day is reported. Then the average for all grades is seen to be considerably lower than standard market prices. Consequently, word goes out that 'Farmers are letting cotton go at such and such a price; why pay more? And on a thousand mark ets over the south, every day, there is | more or less this tendency to hear prices.' The average price paid for cotton 'basis middling" in each market is reported and the cumulative result is highly important For New York, New Orleans and Liverpool betting is simply betting on the price at which the farmer will turn loose his cotton, and when he Is known to turn it loose at leAs than the standard figure, all prices drop accordingly. "In other words, the cotton marketing business today is dominated by buyers, and it is to the average buyer's interest to get cotton as cheaply as he can. In actual practice, therefore, a very great proportion of our cotto'i buyers become 'bear* influences, beating down prices in the ways just suggested. "On the other hand the strpng capable, highly efficient selling agencies for co-operative marketing associations, would become one of the most powerful 'bull' Influences, an Influence for maintaining and boosting cotton prices. It will he to the interest of these co-operative marketing representatives to see that cotton sells not as low as possible, but as high as possible, for they will be hired by the / 0 f tar / insi / Lei / leai / Ev / nn< / Pa3 / *tl get nai CLOVER DRUG STORE CLOVER . THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA , York County. By J. L. Houston, Esquire. Probate T 3 JUUgt; ui x ui a. v. uuih>. In the Probate Court. WHEREAS Mrs. ELLA L. BYERS has applied to me for Letters of Administration on all and singulnr, the goods and chattels, rights and credits [ of S. ALICE ADAMS, late of the coun;ty aforesaid, deceased. These are, therefore, to cite and adj monish all and singular the kindred ! and creditors of the said deceased, to j be and appear before me at our next j I'robate Court for the said County, to i be holden at York Court House on the | 26TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 1921, to ' shew cause, if any, why the said Ad| ministration should not be granted. !

"At a risk of a little repetition, let's sum up the whole matter this way: "Under the present system, the main voice in naming cotton prices is that of the cotton buyers. They are the keenest, best informed, best financed, and most resourceful group in hie cotton marketing game. And it is to intorrvst nf tho nvci'n^p huver to I get cotton cheaply as he can. Consej qucntly he becomes naturally and inevitably a 'bear' influence on cotton in the way just illustrated, and the cotton prices suffer accordingly. "Under the co-operative marketing sywtem on the other hand an equally aonspicuous factor in the markets will be the selling agent, employed by the farmers' co-operative selling association?selling agents who will be just as keen, just as well-informed, just as resourceful, and Just as well financed as cotton buyers are now. It will be to the interest of these selling agents to sell cotton as high as they can, and by knowing the full market price for every pound of high grade that is offered, the co-operative marketing association' will become the most permanent 'bull' influence the cotton market has ever known, the most powerful agency for holding up prices and % preventing their depression by unwise and ignorant selling. "In short, the present system of selling qotton K a 'hear' system that undoubtedly forces down cotton prices Ix-low the proper level every year that comes. The co-operative marketing system will )>e a 'bull' system that will prevent the selling, of cotton below its real worth and thereby become a factor to hold up or boost prices every season that comes.
