Tlje value^ % C. L. and the r< | Remember, I I F I j. r. plea to the farmer^' to grow .more s foodstuffh and save the nation was made by J. Skottowe Wannamaker president of the American Cotton d v Association, yesterday in an address ( delivered at a barbecue given by mem- c bers of the Richland county branch of i the American Cotton association liv- n inor in school districts Nos. 0 and 10. e The barbecue was given in the sand- r bills near Eastover and was very t largely attended by the people living' n in the two school districts, several t hundred being present. s Mr. Wannamaker who was the only speaker, was introduced by R. C. P Hamer, president of the Richland 1 , county branch of the South Carolina tl division of the American Cotton As- tl aociation, and made what many who t< heard him declare to have been the n gest speech they have ever heard him tl make. It was a strong plea to the n farmer to do his part towards tiding h the country over the present period of f g reconstruction. 1< I "The history of the world," said b Mr. Wannamaker, has been that when I a country neglects its production end, A its government perishes. We must n not let that state of affairs exist in 1 America. We have to to pay more k attention however, to agriculture in o this great country if we prevent it t from going to ruin. There are mil- tl lions of people to be fed. Their food v must come from the farms. There ii is a great shortage in foodstuffs. The A shortage is threatening our -country.

He bi old them that the association was in taking progress and predicated that cc he time was coming when the spin- gi ers of New England would be com- ch tg to the South begging the farmers th or their cotton. He declared that too so >ng the farmer had been forced to gi eg the spinners to take his cotton, tu he tabies are going to be reversed, s'fl "For 60 year," said Mr. Wanna- T1 laker, "we have trod the wine press. cl 'he law of equal opportunity is now to nocking at ouf door.

On Terms of Equality "The producer who sells cotton,", lid Mr. Wanna maker, "should bo laced on terms of equality in every ispect with the buyer who purchases This includes more than at first ght might appear. Among other lings, the producer should have equal formation with the buyer, the law fpotinc th.? hltuinor on/I oollinn- nf itton should be poised in equal istice between the producer and the lyer. Commercial machinery which any way affects the marketing of >tton should be so regulated as to ve the buyerv and seller an equal ip nee. The producer should have e benefit of organization to the me extent as the buyer. InveBtiition by the department of agriclutre in primary cotton markets has lown some very interesting results. Iiousands of samples have been assified and information obtained as the prices which they have receiv[ for their cotton. The prices paid l the softie market on ihe same grqde ' cotton on the same day varied !. to $15 a bale and cotton of one and i eight length of staple has sold for r.siderable less than cottoy of threemrter length of staple. This means iat the farmer has not been getting ie value of his cotton. It is clear iat the individual farmer can not >lve the trouble alone; throught the merican Cotton association he c?n >rm cooperative marketing associatns, employ high class technical men ho can class and staple his cotton U 4 ? 1--4. * ? accuic me ucsi, iimrbeb lor me ime."

I too think that every farmer should be a member of the cotton association. The cost of everything is so high, and it is almost impossible to get hired help on the farm, the farmers ought to have a better price for what they have to sell. Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

He was pictured generally as overworked, underpaid and altogether imposed upon, when not imposing upon, but yet a rather likable and essential factor in social and trade economics. In America he very often has the dignity, Importance and title of clerk. Must he go? "Yes," reply several persons who are making startling advances in the retailing of food. One store at Rochester, New York, is now doing a retail grocery business of about a million- dollars a year, without the aid of the grower's boy or the grocer's clerk. A large number of other boyless and clerkless grocery stores have sprung u? in the last few years and'are making a success of it. y, June 3rd 0Nn SAL] # d with an abundai ese goods at once \ 45c quality, at only per yard it only per yard t only per yard lir ir at only per suit 20 per ce On all Men's, Boys', Lac Shoes and Slippers.
