UNION OF FARMERS WILL BE PRESSED. MucH Enthusiasm Shown in Atlanta Meeting.?Speakers to Make Tours. The State. The delegation from South Carolina which attended the meeting in Atlanta on Wednesday and Thursday of the board of directors of the American Cotton Association returned yesterday delighted with the pro^ J" **? /\V*OQVI1<7qflAyi HldUC ill vx that body. An enormous amount of constructive work, they say, was accomplished at the Atlanta meeting. Contracts were made by the directors and complete plans mapped out for the organization of the entire cotton belt. Whirlwind membership campaings will be conducted in-each Si:aie by expert organizers. The organization of the entire belt will be directed from Atlanta, which war. chosen as campaign hea {quarters after a stiff fight between ih.it c'ty, T.Ieniphis and Dallas. The organization of the association will extend down to the school districts and townships. The American Cotton Association will be the organization covering the entire belt while each State will have a State association, which will be an integral part of the American asociation. The South Carolina Cotton Association will be the name of the State association in South Carolina and it will j have representation in the American association, which will be in the parent body. Plans of Association. Plans were made by the directors of the association for the launching of an ambitious program for the betterment of the cotton producers of the South. A mammoth meeting with represenatives from every county in the entire cotton belt will be j ' 1 1 1 1-1.. in I JIKIU prouauiy cany ui ucpi<tiuu^i xvi. | the purpose of receiving reports on j supply and demand, agreeing on a j minimum price at which the growing ! cotton crop will be sold, agreeing upon acreage to be planted in cotton in 1920, this acreage being based up-' on supply and demand figures produced by officers of the association. "The association," said J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president, yesterday, "is determined that under no condition will its members again pro duce cotton for the purpose of piling' up surpluses which have been used j by the New England ancl foreign spin- i ners for the purpose of beating down 1 prices, creating distressed cotton and ! forcing the produce v to part with his i cotton below the cost of production, i The farms of the South will be operated upon a business basis, sufficient food and feed crops will be planted { for the consumption of the producer j and the local markets cotton being planted only as a surplus crop. "The campaign for * State owned jmd State controlled warehouses will be pushed in every county in the cotton belt.. "Temporary offices have been established in Atlanta. Members of the association are making sacrifices of time and means to push to completion this organization, as they realize that no sacrifice is too great that it can be used as an excuse for not giving freely of time and service in this great cause. "A meeting of the special board on organization will be held in Atlanta on August 4." South Carolina Campaign. * South Carolina will be' the first State in the cotton belt to organize. The preliminary preparations for the campaign in this State are already being made under the direction of B. F. McLeod, a well known business man Q+o-fa err* Ui Vllctlicovvii) nuu ic wuuiv V. ) and A. P. Protzman, organization director. Mr. Protzman managed the k United War Work campaign for funds in this State and the State heavily oversubscribed its allotment. He also very successfully managed the Jewish War Relief drive in this State. He has had years of experience in organization business. Confidence is expressed by Mr. Protzman that the drive for membership in the South Carolina Cotton Association will be a success. "I apprehend that we will have no difficulty in showing tne larmer, xne v merchant, the banker and the professional business man that the perfection of the organization of the cotton association will mean much to the South," said Mr. Protzman yesterday. "The association has a very ambitious program. If carried out it will result in untold benefit not alone to the cotton producer, but to the other people of the South as well." Farmers, bankers, merchants and professional men of the South will be flskpd to ioin the association. Meetings Scheduled. Meetings for next Wednesday and Thursday have been scheduled in Greenville, Spartanburg and Anderson. The meeting at Anderson will be held Wednesday morning r.t 11 :00 o'clock in the court house.

J s I Vresident of Equilzzation Board Says Price Should Not Exceed Eleven } Cents. ! r (L New York, July 25.?The war de- |C. [partment has sold to the United it] jStates sugar equalization board 37,- j s< j 000,000 pounds of refined sugar, it "w jwas announced here today by George I A. Zabriskie, president of the board, o1 i who decla^' ? there is "abundance" of o: Iraw suga. . the country, that retail si ! prices shouid not exceed 11 cents a : pound and that there is no need of s( hoarding. SB j The head of the sugar equalization ' ? , board said that profiteering dealers, i if reported, may suffer revocation of ^ their licenses for they are still under.lT .the control of the federal food ad- s< . V ministration, who will not cease to v function until the senate sii ns the <. Kate treaty. He charged the ?y j ent. shortage to "speculative - 1 eri" <tnd belated orders from timbers 1 and candy makers. Housewives were "hoarding" sugar unnecessarily, he o; said. New England having refined e: sugar stocks sufficient to last six i ^ months. : S] i Sugar is abundant in the United j ? - , r vx. O' : States and if it were nor icr prom-< I eers and nervous housewives encour- i i aged to hoard it there would be , j enough .for every legitimate demand | and a 30 days reserve supply in ad- er Idition, declared Mr. Zabriskie. te "The chief factor in this apparent | i shortage, which is temporary," he j "Vioo Kaon fVia V?p1ntArl nrdprs nf ' OaiU) img MVVA* vuv W*v*v^v> | big fruit canneries and confectionery < 01 factories which failed to anticipate j in their normal demands and held off ] 01 ordering their sugar in the expecta- i sh tion that prices would be lower. They! ai knew the refiners could not sell, vi' above the fixed price of 9 cents. jSl "Another element that, as yet, has not affected the situation, is the ma-. th rine workers' strike, which we hope in will be settled before the entire fleet | ag of sugar ships is tied up in Atlantic ;trs and Gulf ports. Meanwhile, we are j ' J *-*11 4"V? r\ tTAC" reacnmg oy rauiu at sea an wc wo- sels possible and diverting them to c* Cuba to bring back raw sugar. "There is at present," Mr. Zabris-;a kie said, "no shortage of raw sugar.: The difficulty now is the capacity of j * the refineries. Of the 2,630,000 tons 5 the United States sugar board con-! tracted to purchase from Cuba we! ^ had still to receive on July 1 no less Pc than 1,100,000 tons.

In those parts of the country j where local shortages exist it is true, 1131 j there is an inclination to profiteer,!^ jbut it is easy to fix the blame for'p< ithat. The refiner can not sell sugar I t."] for more than 9 cents a pound. The DJ wholesaler is obliged to ask a miniimum orofit of 35 cents; so that the I * j I retailer does not pay more than $9.35 |a] ja hundred. Every body, therefore,; j would be able to buy sugar at a max-! imum of 11 cents a pound and I know of chain stores selling it today for ,P' I less than 10 cents.

Every Newberry woman who is having backache, blue and nervous spells, dizzy headaches and [kidney or bladder troubles, should be * jglad to heed this Newberry woman's experience: Mrs. W. Alewine, 609 Drayton St. says: "About two years ago I had |a bad attack of kidney trouble. My r !back ached and I was all worn out. Dizzy spells often came over me and black specks came before my eyes. I was tired and lame and didn't feel like doing my work. When I bent over, I could hardly straighten, my back would hurt so. My head ached; so I thought it would split and I was * nervous and just about able to drag: t myself around. Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I got some and they relieved me right away. Continued use entirely cured me and I am glad to \give this endorsement." a /. /> i i n m. | buc, at an dealers. * oster-jyiiiDunt ?C'o., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N.
