TOBACCO MARKETING Open Forum for Expres sions for or Against Co operative Marketing TOBACCO ASSOCIATION WILL BE SUCCESSFUL The successful marketing of their tobacco by co-operative sales is now asured to the organized growers of South Carolina by the record break ing campaign of last week which reached 52 towns of the belt within seven days, sweeping milliois of pounds and hundreds of new members into the. Association. The last strong barriers to Co-operative Marketing havp brlo.1en down within the Palmet to State, While half a mililon pounds a day were added to the pool in the last days of the drive, the strength of the Association in the State was doubled by the fresh support of business men and bankers in a score of towns, whose efforts will continue to win signers. F hmlunhsville, the second largest tobacco market in the State was the first to close its doors to the Auction sales, then Aynor and Kingstree fol lowed fast (luring the days of the furious campaigning. Other towns will go one hundred percent co-opera tive as hundreds of acres surround ing the big markets begin to grow to bacco for the farmers' own organiza tion. Thousands of acres more will be added to the great pool before the markets open, as committees in every large tobacco growing county of South Carolina push the sign-up to the limit in the few (lays that remain in which to sign the present crop. Growers from Kentucky who made the long journey from the Blue Grass country, growers from the dark and light belts of Virginia bringing their message of success, have found a ready welcome and a quick response in action, that means the end of an era of debt and poverty for men and domen who produce the wealth that has been passing steadily into other hands. With the new co-operation will come new independence, new oppor tunities, new standards of living for the producers of the millions of dol lars of wealth which now go to other States and other people, according to last week's message, which has rous ed the growers, the bankers and the cusiness men to co-operate to keep it home. From Danville Virginia, to Tim monsville South Carolina, warehouses, tofacco growers and the balance of power have been passing into the Great Co-operative. A few men can no longer ' 'pe to block 75,000 or ganized tIL.icco growers with $30, 000,000 assured them, with 206 ware houses ready for business, with un surpassed leadership chosen from their number, with the forenibst ex perts of - world's tobacco trade readly to handle a majority of the to bacco from three states, for the As sociation. A majority of the tobacco farmers from the Carolinas and Vir-ginia make a last call to their fellowv growers of South Carolina who take the risk of waiting longer. A CHITNCE FORl WOMEN 'The State Department of Education with the co-operation of the Board of Edlucation of the U1pper South Caro lina Conference will conduct a unique school at Lander Colelge beginning July 2-1 and closing August 19. This school is for girils over fourteen and wome'n who in youth did not master the 3 "R's". While emphasis will he placed on teaching reading, writing, arithmetic and spelling, yet the stu dent will have all the cultural contact connected with a Christian college. Aside from drill work of the class room there will be goodl lectures, mu sicals andl educat ional p)ictures. The dates selected for holding the school were chosen because August is often a vacation mont h in both couni try and mill and so will pcermit the women to utilize their vacation in a moost valuable way. The school is non sectarian and non (enomina tional. 'The teacherA are among the best in the State and were appointedl because of their peculiar fitness. In addition to the regular teachers there will be called to their G. C. COOPER, Optometerist EYES Carefully Examined, Glasses Fitted, Broken Lenses Duplicated. Satisfaction Guaranteed. SUMTER, S. C. assistance the best trained experts and specialists to give talks and de monstration lessons on the prepara tion of foods, home nursing, personal hygiene, etc. Any girl or woman who hasn't com pleted 'the fifth grade and who cannot attend a public school will be admit ted. Expenses for the month have be.n reduced to a minimum-board $12.50, laundry fifty cents per week, books $1.50 to $2.50 and railroad fare. The classes will be small and the pupils dill be claosified according to ability rather than grade, thus per mitting very rapid progress to be made. In one month it mill be pos sible for an adult to make as' much progress as a child in an entire year. The educated public is asked to as sist in making this school a success by calling it to the attention of girls and women in need of such instruc tion. Where an ambitious girl is un able to provide the means, some charitable, social, or church organiza tion is asked to send her on a scholar ship. A bulletin giving detailed in formation anny be hadI from Lander College, Miss Elizabeth Alexander, Greenwood, S. C. Superintendent J. E. Swearingen pays, "The summer school for girls and yoUlng women realiezs a long cherished dream and meets a long felt need. The enthusiastic interest of every minister and every church has made this experiment possible. The students are to receive their in troduction to books and to culture in the fine atmosphere of the college. They will learn valuable lessons from books, but far more valuable lessons from one another and from the sum mer school authorities. This summer marks a new educa tional era in South Carolina. It sees a novel school inaugurated to bring learning to native white girls and women who in their youth had no chance. It beholds the State Depart ment of Education opening Lander College for these forgotten women from tenant home, mill village and mountain cabin. They number over fifteen thousand, these women. Over fifteen thousand potential mothers and wielders of destiny; over fifteen thou sand voters with no knowledge of conditions which the ballot may remedy. Summer schools for teach ers, ministers, and doctors are an ac knowledged fact; no doubt about the need for training there. Why not summer schools for illiterate women? Is it not fitting that the Upper Metho dist Conference and the State Depart ment of Education should join hands to lift these women from the darkness and isolation of ignorance, should plan to give them a month of actual instruction in the needed three "R's" a month of dwelling in college atmos phere among cultural ideals? Such a school should be commended by every patriotic South Carolinian anxious to do his or her part in, era dicating illiteracy. The school's pos sibilities should be sounded far and wide, that those who need it may hear and be sent by interested friends. CAMPAIGN ON NOWV The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company is taking an active part in the Careful Crossing Campaign, deC signed to lessen injuries and loss of life at grade crossings, which has been inaugurated by the American Railway Association. Last year the railways of the Unit ed States madle the best record for safety of operation they have ever madle in the 34l years that accidlents statistics have been compiled by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The total numbler of persons of all classes--employees and non employees -killed on the railroads in 1907 was 11,839. This was the peak year in fatal accidents. Tfhe number of fatal accidents has since shown a gradually (leclining tendlency.

Yet in 1921 only about one half the number were killed as compared with 1907, and probably less than the number killed in any year since 1899. When it is considered that the total number of persons killed in 1921 was about the same as in 1899, and while the number of employees has increas ed about 140 per cent, the passenger traffic handled about 225 per cent., and the freight handled about 400 per cent, some idea of the increase in safety of operation which has occurred especially during the last 15 years, can be formed. A large part of the safety of opera tion is due to improvement in rail road plant. Even more effective has been the education of employees to the ideas of Safety. That a Safety Campaign is nevertheless necessary and timely, is shown by the fact that in thirty years our country's popula tion increased 68 per cent, while crossing accidents increased 345 per cent in fatal and 652 per cent in in- 1 jury cases. There are two ways to reduce or entirely stop such accidents. The first in the public mind is elimination of the crossings. This is impossible because there are 251,939 highway crossings on the principal railroads alone. Of this number, 399 were eli minated during 1919. At the same 1 rate of elimination it will take 629 years to remove these crossings at a cost of $12,500,000,000. All the men and money available wvould not be auf.I fieient to remove these crossings in a life time. The practical way to de-1 crease accidents is to Stop, Look and Listen! < COTTrON ASSOCIATION ELECTS NEW PRESIDENT Columbia, July 3.-The board ofC (directors o fthe South Carolina Cot S. S.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK HELD TO BE BETTER New York, July 3.-While the us ual uncertainties of the season and a few others of a special character have dominated the country's markets dur ing the past week, returns from in dustrial centers continue good. Steel production has maintained its latest gains, railroad car loadings have reached a new high level for the year, and reports from a number of cen ters mention act've co-operation for labor between makers of steel, auto mobiles and. railroad equipment on the one hand and the building trades on the other. Allowing for the coal strike, which naturally affects the showing of railroads serving union mines, the May earnings statements )f the carriers, which are now being published testify to a further gain in ;he volume of traffic. Regarding the seasonal uncertain ies, principally relating to new 3rop, little in the way of news has leveloped. Fair weather in the cot ;on belt improved crop conditions and ;ook the edge off the minor crop scare )f two weeks ago. It also resulted in ;he cancellation of the advance in >rices. Interest in the trade has cen ered in tomorrow's government crop 'eport, private estimates favoring a :ondition in the neighborhood of ,73 er cent. The amount of damage wvhich the wveevil, which has had an inusually favorable start, may ac omplish, remains largely a matter of onjecture. Wheat Prices Better 'Wheat prices stiffenedl slightly, >artly on reports of smaller supply if the cash commodity and partly in disapopinting threshing returns.

Despite flurries in call money which arr'ied the rate on the New York stock Exchange an high as 5 1-2 per ent, the money market still holds at he low levels of the year.
