' TWO MILLION BALES COTTON I TO BE RETIRED FROM MARKET American Cotton Association Decides Upon the Measures as Part of General Campaign for Reasonable Prices. u^r Columbia, Nov. 5?Two million ^?^feales of erood srrade cotton from the present crop will be retired from the market by the American Cotton Association, according to a statement issued" by J. Sko?towe Wannamaker, president of the association, issued here today. ! The plan adopted by the associa- j tion is to transfer to the designated r banks, warehouse receipts for speci- j lied amounts of good grade cotton.; This cotton is to be held in trust until ^ such time as the association decides j rthat- prices justify the cotton being placed upon the market. . Mr. Wannamaker declares that in ' the unanimous opinion of experts of ?the association based upon supply and demand and the price of the, manufactured product, the price of cotton should be far above present prices and that the plan of retiring the two million bales had been hit j upon as offering the best opportunity for stabilizing the price. ; i ' The statement issued by Mr. Wan1 -woTMaifPr nnnonnrinc the intention of * v p the association following in part: f "The experts of the American Cotton Assooiatioit after a careful investigation of supply and demand, the J>rice of the manufactured product and the price of other commodities - J nave ^unanimously recommended that that the association retire two million bales of good grade cotton from the present crop. The plans which were recommended and which have ! been adopted call on the memberW ship of each State -to voluntarily transfer to designated banks warehouse receipts for specified amounts of good grade cotton. This cotton i -as to be held in trust until such time j fM as the association decides that prices i . justify the cotton being placed upon f the market. It is the unanimous decision of our experts that on account! of the enormous demand for raw v cotton and the great shortage it will * not be necessary to carry this cotton longer than the summer of 1920. j Responses being received from: various sections of the belt show ready compliance on -the part of the / membership of the association. Each M State is urged to report the amount r of cotton set aside under "this I, arrangement to the president of the; American Cottort Association. The amount of cotton already pledged in- i dicates that tfiis plan will not only be fully approved but that an amount I far in excess of the amount requested will be taken entirely off the . market.

The medical attention cost bim $80 and he is now seeking to get the government to reimburse him for "that amount. - Knowing the red tape of the army, ,.the young man, in his original letter ( on the subject, expresses hope that "the money will be paid to him sometime in the sweet bye and bye, after he has completed innumerable forms, ^nd secured affidavits from numer- i ous people. Sick With Flu. j "On December 23, 1918, while on ?_ ~ detached service, I was taken ill with ; the influenza. I was verv sick at the time and the doctor deemed it inad- j visable that I make the trip to the, base hospital, and in accordance with his instructions I went to a civilian hospital" says the letter making the claim. He then enumerates the bill,, v which totals $80, and after explainer ing that he thinks it only equitable that he be reoimbursed by the gov- j ernment, since he was o 1 detached service, and it was impracticable for; fcim, to go to the base hospital to get :free medical service, the young man tells the authorities that he kncw3' I he has a long seige to go through to ' -get the money. - "Having worked in the government service for nine months, I am well aware of the phrase, 'Through j channels,' and I know that I will have to have an" affidavit properly j executed signed, sealed and deliver-1 ed, by approximately 98 per cent, j y of the inhabitants, to be reimbursed j for the money expended by me. j However, I feel that in view of the I 7 j fact that I was employed by the government and gave them my best services for nine months at the handsome stiDend of ?30 per month, that the government could see fit to pay me for the money above mentioned," says the letter.

LUTHERAN SYNOD j TO PAY PRESIDENT j ???? ~ " - * T1 1 1 People of Little Mountain i naucwcu ( for Hospitality in ?ntertain-v j ing Delegates. - ( I ' The State. \ ' Little Mountain, Nov. 7.?What ^ promises to be one of the best ses- [ sions of the South Carolina Luth-1 eran synod ever held came to a close j Thursday night at Little Mountain. , Several departures of unusual im- j [portance marked the business of the session. j One venture away from the time honored custom was tne election of /, a salaried president. The retiring president, the Rev. H. J. Black of Charleston, was unanimously chosen to this important position. ! Mr. Black has proved himself a good officer and has managed the i affairs of the office in an efficient manner, j i* The work of the office requires that the president give his whole'time to the work and therefore denies to him the work of any local pastorate. The recent development of the \ work of the Lutheran church in this state put too great a burden on a pastor who must also have the over- ( sight of his own parish. ; Other officers of synod eiecrea were: Dr. H. A. McCullough, vice . president, the Rev. C. J. Shealy, secretary; W. A. Counts, treasurer. ! * i A. H. Kohn of Columbia was elected treasurer of the $300,000 educa- J tion fund. The campaign for benevolence in all the churches was enthusiastically indorsed. Doubling all past benev- ] olences is the plan of the campaign, j W. A. Hentske of Columbia is man- 1 ager of the campaign in the synod. < He is enthusiastic over the outlook ] notwithstanding the funds so recently 1 raised by the churches. He says the i people are ready to go forward in j this larger work and realize the necessity of aggressive work of the 1 Christian religion in the unsettled < condition of the world. ^ A vote of thanks was given the t people of Little Mountain for their j hospitality in entertaining synod. 1 Under the leadership of their pastor, s T T Jl - T ?i.1 the Kev.
