Aunt Leah Simpson* one of Clinton’s
most faithful and beloved colored citi
zens, passed away on Monday after
being in declining health for several
months. Her funeral was held Tues
day afternoon at Friendship church
and attended by a large crowd of sor
rowing friends.
Aunt Leah, as she was known by
white And colored alike, was about
eighty years bid and had lived in this
community all her life. She was a
member of the .“old school” of devoted
and loyal darkies of the ’60’s, and lived
a life above reproach. She was an out
standing example of honesty, kind and
considerate of others; she loved chil
dren and was faithful in all relations
of life. Hundreds of friends will learn
with profound sorrow of the passing
of this highly respected and faithful
old Christian darkey.

Although Clinton needs some organ
ization to relieve cases of distress that
continually arise, there is no such or
ganization. “The Good Samaritans”
have long since ceased to exist because
the people of Clinton would not sup
port it. So why should people contin
ually send these cases to me to relieve
instead of raking out their shekels and
relieving them themselves? Do you

cottonseed products.”
“The price of cottonseed, as of ev
erything else, is regulated entirely by
the demand and this demand is, of
course, created by the market for cot
tonseed products. It matters not how-
large nor how small the -crop of cot- 1
ton may be, the price of seed is regu- 1
lated by the ability of the oil mills and
the refiners to dispose of their pro
ducts. Therefore, in attempting to ex
tend the uses of seed, the association
is benefitting the farmer directly and
through him the entire South.
“The association is constantly ren
dering other services from which the J
cotton growers derive benefit as well j
as its own members,” said Senator i
Benet. “A concrete example was our
being able last fall to secure the allo
cation of ships to exporters of our
products,” he said.
“The ability to get ships was seri
ously depressing the price of meal.
With the biggest crop in history in
■ sight and with all chance of exporting
; any meal apparently removed, we saw
that the stiuation was extremely se
rious for the mills and for the farmer.
I went to Washington and after tak
ing the matter up with Mr. Andrews,
the assistant director of traffic of the j
shipping board, Gen. Dalton, the head <
of the shipping board, Secretary Jar- j
dine and Secretary Hoover,* the ships!
were allocated and also a cut made in
the rates that enabled us to ship meal
and cake and to successfully compete
with other feed products in the Unit-1
ed Kingdom and continental ports. The i
allocation of ships was almost imme
diately followed by a rise in the price |
of meal.”
