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. M

Lies in Hands of Farmers. A
'The relution of the situation to- tl
ay lies in the- hands of the farmer.' tl
llothes are necessary, but food must ci
ome first. I appeal to you as jJat- w
'iotic South Carolinians?people of
ly native state??"nd it is the greatst
state in the union; I love every ss
bck and hill in it?to do your part in pi
his rather critical situation. Grow re
inrp that, wo mnv cnntiniio I it
o live in a land of happiness and sun- si
hine." th
Mr. Wannamaker complimented the in
eople of school districts Nos. 9 and at
0 for fhe splendid manner in which cc
hey have rallied to the support of ju
he American Cotton association. 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. Under the
ed
rganization of the American Cotton or
association the door will be opened; of
he South will come into its own and W
rill be the main contributing factor ar
fi the upbuilding of a greate nation." co

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

Mr. Wannamaker touchingly told of
mditions which prevailed in the

id his voice broke as he declared
iat the * doors of the school house
ere closed to him when he was 16

The farmers and business men of
school districts Nos. 9 and 10 have
joined the Richland county branch of \
the -American Cotton association 100 j
per cent-strong:. j
UNION ROUTE FOUR (
The farmers on this route are all j
busy in the fields. Some have been I
replanting: their cotton while some of I
the more fortxinate ones are thinning
cotton.
Moxy, I agree with you and the editor.
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. Adams attended
the services at Duck Pond
church Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Bobo and children

THE GROCER'S BOY
Charles Dickens and other mid-Victorians
were very fond of the tousledheaded
grocer's boy. 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.
