Fort Mill township farmers continue
to sell from time to time
cotton they have held from the
1920 and 1921 crops. I>ast week
more than 150 bales were sold on
the Fort Mill market, at an average
price of 17 1-2 cents. It is
aaid that some of this cotton could
have been sold several months
ago for twice the amount the
fdrmers received for it. The sales
of cotton in Fort Mill this week .
have been below the sales for the I
corresponding days of last week,.
as has the price, 17 cents being
the highest amount paid for the
staple since Monday morning.
The through freight business of
the Southern railway, Columbia
division, apparently is not kuffering
from the general depression.
Long freight trains, made up of
from 40 to 60 cars, loaded for the
most part ' with produce from
Florida for Northern markets,
x\ (or several days have been passing
through Fort Mill almost
hourly, with a corresponding
number of trains of "empties" |
going south. The trucking sea
son is at its height in Florida at
present, but in a few weeks it
will tyve way to the trucking industry
of lower South Carolina.

I OOX m COLUMBIA
A outstanding event of the clos
ing week of the 1922 session o
the Legislature was the addres
in the house of representative:
Thursday night of James M. Coi
of Ohio, Democratic candidate ii
1920 for the presidency. Thursday
afternoon Governor Cox arrive*
iu Columbia from Aiken. He waj
met at the station by a house del
egation and after a short drive t(
points of interest in the city wai
taken to the Jefferson hotel
There he was tendered a dinnei
by the delegation, at which Gov
crnor Cooper and a number ol
other distinguished citizens of the
State were guests. Following th<
dinner, the party went to the Co
lumbia theater, where Governoi
Cox delivered a 15-minute speech
to an audience which filled the
big building and was perhaps one
of the most sympathetic to which
hi had ever spoken.
But the really big reception of
the evening for Governor Cox
began when he entered the hall
of the house of representatives
on the floor and in the gallery of
which 'apparently not one more
person could have found standing
room. Immediately Governor Cox
was recognized walking down
the main aisle with Governor
Cooper and the house delegation,
he was greeted with a round of
applause which lasted more or
less regularly throughout the
evening and which must have
made him feel that for once at
least he was among friends who
were anxious to pay tribute to
him as the leader of the great
party to whom all bore loyalty
and fealty. Introduced by the
speaker of the house. Governor
t'ox had the audience wholeheartedly
with him from the first
dozen words of his speech. And
such a speech, such an arraignment
of the insincerity, such an
indictment of the "hypocrisy and
a. . r> ui:
uivviii|irirucr ui lilt;
party and the national Republican
administration has seldom if
ever been heard in South Carolina.
Many South Carolinians look
upon Mr. Bryan as the one man
in American public life possessing
11 fee simple interest in the right
to expound without question the
principles of the party of Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Juckson
and apply those principles to pres.
day national and international
needs. These people are fortunate
in having heard Mr. Bryan,
hut they are more unfortunate in
not having heard Governor Cox.
Mild of manner, with a pleasing,
ingratiating voice that charms
and holds his audience as he
drives home with unanswerable
argument, keen wit, apt illustration
and biting sareasm the facts
and inferences he presents to the
discomfort of his opponents.Goveror
Cox pleads the cause of distressed
humanity as no other man
in public life in this country can
do it. Little wonder that he was
thrice elected governor of Ohio,
a distinction that State has never
conferred upon another of her
sons. LiiTTie wonder that he was
put up by the Democratic party
as its standard bearer two years
ago. The wonder is that the people
of the country did not have
the pood sense to elect him, as he
should have been, and if he had
In en elected the outstandinp fipnre
in world affairs today would
be a stronp, resourceful, sincere,
four-square president of this
niiphty republic. And the seat
occupied foreipht years by Woodrow
Wilson would not today be
filled on the installment plan by
a weak, wobbling, vascillatinp
executive rattling around in it
"like a grain of corn in a bladder."
A little better than two years
from now the Democratic party
will again be in convention to
nominate its candidate for the
presidency. On whom will its
favor fall? McAdoo! -Good man.
but lacking the. aggressiveness
to lead the party to victory.
James M. Cox! By that time the
country will have sorely tired, of
th? good-natured hut visionless
Harding and will welcome the opportunity
to turn to Governor
Cox. Then South Carolina will
have the chance to redeem herself
from the faulty judgment of her
delegates to San Francisco in
1920 who held out so obstinately
against Governor Cox.
In Columbia Thursday night
there were people from all sections
of South Carolina who heard
Governor Cox. Not one of these,
perhaps, but who went home convinced
that in him the nartv
has a leader whose leadership it
cannot, afford to dispense with
excent at the possible cost of failure
in the next ,presidential election.
Whatever the attitude of

Governor Cox before hie visit to
Columbia, they are all his friends
now, *fmd their friendship will
count for him when the State
