Wright, who is at tending the Normal school in Columbia, spent Sunday at home with her by the Directors of the largest cooperative marketing association of America who met with Eugene Meyer Jr., and Officials of the War Finance Corporation in Washington, D. C., j last week. The committee of directors from the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association secured approval of the loan; for the 75,000 tobacco farmers of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, which now assures the success of their association beyond a doubt. Officers of the War Finance Corpo ration were so familiar with the management of the Association, and sc confident of its success that they took only thirty minutes to signify approval of the greatest loan ever made to organized farmers, in the history of the United States. In addition to the loan of $30,000,000 which will enable the big Tobacco Cooperative to pay its members cash advances upon delivery of their tcabcco, the War Finance Corporation further agrees to re-discount loans secured by green or soft order tobacco for local banks throughout the Virginia-Carolina tobacco belt. The loan of the War Finance Corporation is to be secured by more than 350,000,000 pounds of its members tobacco now under five years contract with the Tobacco Growers Coperative Association, which represents a value of over $70,000,000 in the first year of operation, according to conservative estimates. Among the officials of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association whc met with Euene Meyer Jr., Director of the War Finance Corporation were: George A. Norwood, President, banker and planter of Goldsboro, N. C.; Oliver J. Sands, General Manager of tne Association ana jrresiaenc oi mt American National Bank of Richmond, Va.; James H. Crai, Treasurer of the Association; Richard R. Pattersoii, Geenral Manager of the Leaf Department, formerly Manager j of the Leaf Department of the Ameri- j can. Tobacco Company; C. E. Cheatham and F. G. Williams of the Leaf Department and M. O, Wilson, Secretary of the Board of Directors which consists of 22 tobacco planters from Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, and three Directors named by the Governors of those States. Following the example of the Burley Tobacco Growers Association .of Kentucky, which after securing a similar credit from the War Finance Coropration was enabled to gain all necessary funds' from State and local banks, and to repay their 90 flay loans of $6,000,000 within 40;days. Officials of the Virginia-Carolina Association are confident of obtaining the support of State and local bankers for whom the offer of the War Finance Corporation opens a new field of profitable cooperation with tobacco farmers throughout the belt. For the organized tobacco growers and the thousands of farmers from three States who are joining the Association every month, the action of the "War Finance Corporation assures the safe and orderly marketing of tobaccc which resulted in largely increased profits and a new source of credit for Kentucky farmers whose organization has now sold 70,000,000 pounds of tobacco for highly satisfactory prices, during one month receiving an aver age of 29 cents a pound for tobacco sold throuh the Association, while that sold outside the Association brought less than 21 cents per pound upon the auction warehouse floors. Close to 80 per cent of the Tobacco farmers of Virginia have joined the Marketing Association, and North Carolina growers are nearing a 75 per cent sign-up following the recent statewide campain for members. A whirlwind campaign among tobacco farmers of South Carolina will begin next Monday, June 26th and will continue until every one of the 38 coperative marketing points of the ! South Carolina belt has been reached with a mass meeting. Leaders of the movement from Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina will join this campaign which will mark the last opportunity for # South Carolina farmers to market this year's crop with the giant cooperative. The Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association has now secured 2 0G warehouses where it will receive tobaccc from its members as the markets open in three States. Humor of the Law. Here is one which actually occurred recently in a general court-martial trial.

The Lutheran church workers throughout the state are again making their plans to.attend the Lutheran Summer School .for Church Workers, at Summerland College, Leesville, S. C., which begins its eleventh annual session July the 12th and continues through the 19th. This school ha? been growing in popularity and usefulness to the church, and the program and faculty announced for the coming session indicate a much superior session this year to any that Koon ViolrJ Thp nrr><?ram in AICLO J tt VVVI4 **v*^4 . * V A'- "C7 eludes accredited courses of training for Sunday school teachers and superintendents; special courses in Bible study, mission study and stewardship; pastors' and church officers conferences; young people's forum; woman's missionar ydepartment conferences. It also makes ample provision for assembly music drills, and out dooi recreation. The accredited Sunda3# school courses will be offered and taught by the instructors as follows: "The Pupil" by Miss Olive Counts of Prosperity; "The Teacher" by Dr. R. B. Peery of Hickory, N. C.: "The School" by Rev. I.E. Long, Charleston; "Preparation for Teaching" by Sister Elizabeth, of Charleston; "The Teaching Values of the Old Testament" by Prof. R. A. Goodman of Newberry College; "The Teacher'? Study of the Life of Christ" by Dr. A. J. Bowers of Greenwood. These courses lead to certificates and: diploma, and are a continuation oi work that has been done during the previous years. In addition to the above accredited courses, three special courses will be offered. A "Model Bible Stud} Class" and a "Normal Mission Study Class," are being promoted by the Luther League of South Carolina foi the benefit of Luther League leaders. Dr. W. H. Greever of Columbia will give a course in "Stewardship".- Dr. Greever is the author of the most excellent book on this subject, bearing the title, "Workers with God." The program also makes splendid provision for the laymen of the Church who in these days feel the Christian responsibilities that resl upon them. Dr. E. C. Cronk, whe has had very wide experience in laymen's work and as pastor, and who is now Superintendent of the Synod of Virginia, will conduct a series of six conferences specially designed foi pastors and laymen. The young people of the church have of recent years taken a leading part in church activities, and they always respond well and attend th? training school in%large numbers. This year their special Luther League conferences will be led by the Rev*. Os.-t car F. Blackwelder of Roanoke, Va.? who is already favorably known to the young people throughout the state. The Woman's Missionary Department work will be under the direction of Mrs. M. O. J. Kreps, who wii: have Mrs. O.K. Lippard, a returnee missionary from Japan, with her in this department. Mrs. Lippard is ar excellent speaker and good mixer anc" will bring a fine spirit and helpfu . missionary information to the entire school. , ? v*4 But one of the most outstanding features of the program is a series o: six lectures on "Sunday School Methods" to be delivered by Dr. C. Bur'. Smith, of Philadelphia, who is a recognized expert in Sunday school work. He is associate editor of the Sunday school literature of the United Lutheran Church in America, and with his ability as a lecturer, he wil' no doubt bring very helpfu! suggestions to the Sunday school workers of the state. Since the expense of the school is. borne by the congregations of the South Carolina Synod, the cost tc those who attend is very small, there being no registration fee charged nor charge for dormitory accommodations. The only expense is for meals which aa-e served at the college foi only one dollar per day. The com-: modius modern new dormitory wil add greatly to the accommodation* and assures every desirable comfort and convenience to all who attend. IS EVERY ANIMAL AT ITS BEST.

In its application to the Virginia state corporation commission the company asserts that "the existence of hundreds of spurious permits to purchase' is admitted by government officials and thb evmress comnanv has no wav to guard against shipments moving under such permits." WHAT IS HAPPINESS? "In America we are all in the hunt ?men and women. Our everlasting quest of excitement is wearing us out," says Irving Bacheller, the wellknown writer. "We may find knowledge and excitement and even pleasure abroad, but not that abiding presence we call happiness which, unless she be dead, is always calling us back home. Every one who goes about looking for happiness will look in vain. If he is capable of seeing her. he will find her waiting on his doorstep when he .gets home. "What's happiness? Is it not in love of one's task and of his associations? I am convinced that it is born of those two loves, or not at all. "The greatest happiness lies in having found one's work and in being strong to. do it. Good health is therefore, a part of the thing we call happiness. The friends wh,o respect and understand us and a loved task # t i and a comfortable home fill the clip." ?From the June Delineator. 4) S3 C JJJ S - : ??. o o oo <? A a; r * Cj :3 f *? ' J' M CS.

Kirby until Friday when Kirby was put to death, thus leaving the cell vacant. Bigham was moved in order to get the three white men in the death house on the same side of the building. A peculiar fact in connection with Bigham's occupancy of the cell occu- ? , pied by Kirby until last Friday is that Bigham. like Kirby, has only one arm. Kirby's left arm was missing and so is Bigham's. Occupying cells on the same side are Ira Harrison and F. M. Jeffords.
