After the business session the teachers adjourned to the Y. M. C. A. building, where a delightful and bountiful dinner was served by the hosts of the association.

His plea was for the closer cooperation of the teachers with the state and 1 -J-iJ/vns ori(? federal educational associa UUlio a*i v | that the teaches* try to help bring about a deeper appreciation of the true worth of the teacher to society.

MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION Whereas, His Excellency, Honorable Robert A. Cooper, governor of the state of South Carolina, has issued his proclamation setting apart April 25th, 1922, for the purpose of having the business men of South Carolina to assist in securing the signatures of coctton growers to the Cooperative Marketing contracts; and, Whereas, the prosperity and happiness of the people of the city of Newberry depend in a large extent upon the success of the agricultural interests of Newberry county, Newberry county being composed mainly of an agricultural people; and, Whereas, it is to the great interest of all the citizens of the city of Newberry for the cotton growers of Newberry county to receive a remunerative price for cotton, and in the past ~ ~^ /-.-P r>nnnpraf}nn on ctccuuiii ujl idtn vx vvv^/v?v>?.v.. among the said cotton growers, they have not received a fair price for their said product, all of which has :aused a depression in business and financial conditions in our city: Now therefore, I, W.

The losses of An erican farmers and the deflated v; lues of farm products through enfori ed sales upon stagnant markets ai estimated to be $12,000,000,000, ( equal to practically the entire coi of the World war to this country. Tfc losses forced upon the cotton giowei of the Southern states during this pi riod of time on the producction an marketing of two cotton crops are e: timated at $2,300,000,000. Thes enormous losses are largely repn sented in unliquidated obligations i the form of notes held by local banl ers, supply merchants, fertilizer con pnaies and other business institutior as frozen assets. These losses do nc include the sacrificed sale of Libert bonds, loans negotiated on life insu: ance policies, the heavy depreciatio in farm land values and improv* ments, nor the large number of banl ruptcies which have occurred in ti agricultural sections. Saddled with these unprccedente losses and debts, with market valu< of farm products continuing belo" the cost of production, the rehabilitj tion of American agriculture becom< a matter of deepest concern, not onl; to the farmers, but to the entire m tion. The nation's commercial lii can not rebuild so long as the basl i r* r * ?? xi. . industry is nounaering m me quaj mire of unprecedented financial de pression. The policy of the federal reserv banking system as announced b Governor Harding of the federal r< serve banking system as announce by Governor Harding of the feders reserve board when the campaign c artificial deflation was inauguarate ' ^ 1 QOA irop f U A f f rocori! ill Li\j j vvao liiai/ ivuviai a v.^v& ? act did nto permit the rediscounts of paper secured by agricultural coir modities being held for higher price becadse such practice would be in th nature of speculation. He furthe stated in reply to appeals made t him by representative farmers froi all sections of the nation in the fa of 1920, that the reserve act only pe: mitted furnishing financec for pre duction purposes alone, and he ha recently again confirmed this policy This can only mean that when sti pie farm products are harvested the must be at once dumped upon th markets of the country without r< gaH to orderly selling or whethe such markets are below the cost o production are in a condition of sta^ nation. It is manifest, therefor* that the federal reserve banking syi tern was created, and is being admir istered, for purely short term con mercial banking and should have n place in supplying needs of agricu i. 1 XI turai nuance. There is at this time an impellin necessity for the speedy creation b congress of a broad and liberal shoi term agricultural credits act whic will meet the needs of farmers fc both productive ancf orderly marke' ing purposes. The system ?hou!d b completely divorced from short ten commercial banking and the conrn of the federal reserve banks. Natioi al officials of the American Cotton a: sociation have for months been i consultation with senators and cot gressmen relative to the vital necei sity for such legislation in the fac of existing conditions and the police of the federal reserve board. Oi national law makers are now thoi oughly aroused over the matter, an Senator Simmons of North Carolin has recently introduced a bill, ei titled the "Agricultural credits act c 1922," which, if speedily enacted ii to law, will establish a federal banl ing system of short term agricultur; finance that will not only supply th needs of individual farmers for loar running- from six Months to thre years, but also farmers' coop?rati\ marketing associations which are no being so rapidly organized throug] out the country for the more efficiei and orderly marketing of staple far products. This is in line with the wisdom di played already in all rhe l?.rgj airr cultural countries of the world vhj, j the basic ;n.lns'ry of airr:*.ui!tuv<; k j been saf^i;; ? (!?> ! and the finance requirements of the farmers ful protected, thereby insuring prospe ity to the producers and all other i dustries dependent upon the prima: wealth of products taken from t: soil. j The leaders in the national co gress from the vast agricultural te i ritory of tho South and West hn i "1 CHEVR 5" I cost less than 1 cent j i Ask to see our G< ANTEE that a New C , !

It is the most i o forward step taken by congress in be- i half of agriculture during the past J 11 century. The senatorial agricultural c r- bloc and the agricultural representa- I ). tives in the house are in closer coop- i is aration today than ever before in f /. the history of the republic.
