C., Thursday Afternoon, p^vember 17y*ti&21 ' 3c Per Copy HAIDER TALKS TO FARMERS Outlines plan, purposes and object of proposed South Carolina Cottoi Growers' Cooperative organization. The plan of this proposed organi zation is essentially the spme as th< California organizations whifh hav< proved their worth to the fruit grow ers of that state. The organization ir this state differs "from the Californit organizations in that we have a nonperishable commodity to handle instead of perishable products. Five cotton states have already perfected organizations of this kind and four ol these state organizations are selling this year's crop for their farmer mem bers. tne present system of marketing cotton is absolutely wrong, and the people are disgusted with .it. Less than 10 per cent of the cotton producers know what grade and staple they have when they go to sell. It is absolutely essential to know what we have before we can market it inteligently, If : the present plan is wrong, .the thing V..W. do is to get a better plan. A fyetV ter jplan is a business plan for sell. thg "totton. Everywhere business fariners are indorsing this cooperative plan of marketing. The farmefs' business is production and he should have his oym expert marketing agents to do bis selling. An* organization of this kind can secure adequate finances to carry on its i business. This year the organizations in Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and Misfrom the Federal Reserve Banks, War Finance Corporation and some of Ihe large banks in N. Y. City. These institutions consider farm organizations of this kind good business risks. Not only have good business farmers indorsed this plan but leading bankers and business men consider it the best movement on record. I have signed the contract, and I recommend it to every other cotton farmer in South Carolina. However, I urge you to conv sider the plan very carefully before BlgjlUHg. Thevhjstory of farmers' organizations preceding organization has shojynr the necessity of following certain fundamentals. '^.Organize by commodity and not by communities. 2, Pooling of cotton and selling in ferg? even running lots. V3.,r t.imit membership to farmers. ^.Organize for a period of years. Organize legally and not loosely. 5. Have a binding contract. What It Is An association of, by and for South Carolina Cotton Growers, formed for of its members ~" W^fliaratfveTjf? tnrough its own specialized marketing expert, securing for its members the best possible returns for their labor. What It Will Do 1. Grade, class and staple each bale. 2. Pool each grade and sell by pools in quantity. 3. Sell direct to spinner wherre possible eliminating several speculative profits and increasing growers' profit without increasing cost to consumer. 4. Warehouse all cotton, thereby reducing "country damage." At the conclusion of Mr. Hauler's address Hon. L. J,. Browning was elected chairman of the local organization and W. D. Wood, county agent, was elected secretary. Plans were made to complete and perfect the local temporary organization for the purpose of promoting the work of cooperative marketing in this county.

FREIGHT RATES i ARE REDUCED s New York, Nov. 16.?The Associa1 tion of Railway Executives, representing 201 railroads today decided to - put into effect a 10 per cent freight j rate reduction on all farm products, ? "as soon as possible." The reduction, - it was announced, would not apply to j intrastate, rates in New England, but i would affect freight entering and - leaving those states. Announcing the decision, Thomas - DeWrtt Cuy.ler, president of the asso elation, stated that any reduction in ? such rates made since September 1, ; 1920, were to be included in the 10 . per cent reduction and that it would be put into effect without waiting for ; a reduction in wages. The freight i rate cut will apply throughout the eni tire South except on traffic moving wholly within New England. It was expected that the new rate would be effective within 10 days as the raili roads, it was said, have asked the in, terstato commerce commission, through their general counsel, to authorize the change on ten days' no- , tice. The reduction will'.cost the railroads about $55,000,000, it was estimated. * s "The railroads have already reduced freight rates substantially from the , level established by the commission , in August, 1920," Mr. Cuyler's state- , ment said. /'The reductions already made are estimated as accurately as < can be, to involve a loss of revenue at the rate of from $175,000,000 to $20Q,- i 000,000 annually. These reductions .J on many roads represent a loss greater than any corresponding saving ri'unzL'u irom reuucuons m wages already effected. The railroads are fur- thermore, awaitine decisions of the i labor board, which, it is hoped, will re- 1 lieve the companies of the expense ot < many onerous and uneconomical work-: 1 ing conditions. The Railroads are not ] in a financial condition to make this" i sacrifice. < "Unless there should .be some re- 1 vival in business, the probability of ] which is conjectural, the entire im- i mediate loss involved in this proposed reduction in rates will be taken frjm the ret earnings of the railroads.*' i ^ China's Proposal Affords 1 Definite Working Basis i Washington, Nov. .17.?'The general principles presented by China for ft; i solution of the Far Eastern problems . afforded a definite working basis for) . Washington -conference as the jlelega-' Uoks of nine nations met again *? a plans of the procedure for consider ing these questions it said the conference would proceed immediately to the consideration of the Far JEastorn problems on the basis of China's proposal, various principles in plan are < being referred to experts. j i Washington, Nov. 17.?The opinion 1 of the American delegates, which ap- t peared to have considerable support < among the other powers was that Far t Eastern questions need not be complicated by a creation of subcommit- 1 tees to deal with the special subjects. J Fat People Wish to Become Thin ] New York, Nov. 16.?A great many t fat people in the United States and 1 Canada avowedly want to become ? thin, but don't know how. By the t hundreds they have been confessing f this desire in letters to City Health 1 Commissioner Copeland. Their selection of him as the person who might take a great weight off their shoulders was suggested by accounts of his recent mobilization of a reducing squad of fifty fat men and fifty fat J women in New York. c These hundred heavyweights have 1 been shrinking daily and the letters from outside New York inquire how ] Dr. Copeland does it. It's simple, he says. Proper diet, regular exercise and proper living habits are all that is necessary. "You cannot be happy unless you "You cannot be happy unless your } stomach is full," the doctor tells the fat folks. Then he explains what foods they should eat to keep happy, eliminating all those which produce fat. Some of foods they may eat in abundance are celery, buttermilk, radishes, endive, lettuce, tomatoes, water- f cress, clams, whites of eggs, chicken I without the skin, shad, white meat of ^ I 1 abater, codfish- nonra annlfio ?i>onn. , :? j "? -rt"vw? ft * fruit, lemons, oranges, rhubarb, lean meat and skimmed milk. . 1 "The greatest mistake people make j is in the selection of their food," Dr. e Oopeland contends.* "The average f meal is poorly balanceck This is particularly so of breakfast. Imagine t wanting to get thin on a breakfast a like this: cereal and cream, hot muffins with butter and honey, sausage f and possibly some fruit covered with x sugar. This entire meal is made up t of starches and 3ugar, which adds flesh and very often as an added of- m Ua* b it is washed down with tea, cof^ /or cocoa saturated with sugar." Kn)r. Copeland lets his sauad eat Truit for breakfast, except bananas. He bars sugar, prohibits white bread, and opposes the drinking of water with meals because that makes the i room and inclination for more food. 4 Cereals are all right, he says, if a j tablespoon of bran is added instead of 4 sugar. J He recommends Swedish exercises. I But if the ambitious heaw insists nn " his calisthenics being 100 per cent J; American, the United States army * setting up exercises are just as good J as any other. These can be practiced J within the privacy of Ihe home pro- r* vided the home is of sound construction and the neighbors pleasant. One of Dr. Copeland's squad confided that every time she began bending and bumping there came complaints from the occupant of the apartment below. ^ ' 1 T Box Supper % r v There will be a box supper at Cohen school building Friday even- , lng, November 18th. j Everybody is invited. a ' STOCKHOLDERS j SUE WATTS MILL Greenwood, Nov. }6.?A auilt against Watts mill in Laurens comity, brought by holders of preferred stock issued in 1909, amounting to approximately $450,000, has beep filed w;lth the clerk of court of Laurens county by Tillman, Mays & Featherstonei of Greenwood, attorneys for the plaintiffs, it was learned today from one of the stockholders. The suit was"on the roster for trial at the court of common pleas, sittipg in Laurens this week, but has been continued and will probably be heard at a special term of the court of common pleas in December, attorneys state. Watts mill is capitalized at $1,250,000. The defendant corporation is represented by Hayneswortn & Haynesworth and W. G. Sirrine of Greenville. The plaintiffs allege that preferred stock in Watts mill, held by them, amunting to $200,000 at the time of issue on April 7, 1909, to be retired with accrued interest and dividends on April 21, 1921, has not been redeemed. The original stock plus interest and accrued dividend now amounts to about $450,000. Tho vlaintiffs allege that provisions pf the , stocks certificate to redeem the stock ( at par, plus interest and unpaid dividends on April 21, 1921, have not been carried out and they are suing for judgment against the mill for a total i>f approximately $450,000.

Dode Philips, Erskine's wonder man, and believed by many to be the best individual player in the state, bus crossed the goal line of his opponents in every game this season. Even the Furman Purple Hurricane, which held Carolina and Clemson scoreless, was unable to prevent Philips from planting the Erskine colors jn their goal post. Will the Tigers be able to break Philips' record? This is the question that fans throughout the state are asking. Carolina, Furman, WotFord, P. C., Citadel and Newberry have failed to stop the wonder man, as residents of Due West affectionately call Philips. Will Doc Stewart's young Tigers be able to do better? Coach Stewart is now relying largely on the youngsters to carry the burden of both defensive and offensive. Injuries have played havoc with the standbys of the Tiger eleven and with a desire to give the new material a chance, Coacn Stewart has been using many of the younger men. Many of these had never seen a football game until they reached the Clemson campus. However, the development of some of these youngsters has been near miraculous, Coach Stewart feels, and in addition to giving assurance for a good eleven next year, are sufe to make it difficult for their opponents in the remaining games of the 1921 scnenuie. While the state championship race may be settled, interest in pigskin contests has not died out and fans in all comers of the Palmetto State will watch with interest next Saturday the clash between Dode Philips, bent on maintaining his record, an dthe young Tigers, anxious to win their spurs on the gridirn.

' \ I ' > CLERK CAPTURES j MAIL BANDIT 1 - .Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 1G.?Rov Gardner, mail bandit, who escaped under the.fire of a 3core of guards from the federal penitentiary at McNeil Island. Wash., where he was serving a sentence for Pacific coast robberies, was captured single handed here last night by Herman lnderlied when he attempted to rob the mail car on an Atchigt n. Topeka & Santa Pe raihva train at the Sante Fe station. lnderlied was unarmed and was the mail cleric in charge of the car. Late today Gardner* was arraigned bofoi-e United States Commissioner Henke and was sent to the federal grand jury in bonds of $100,000. lie will not be ttied here, however, but will be sent to Leavenworth, Kan., to finish serving sentences which were hanging over him when he escaped last September, according to Thomas Flynn, United States district attorney ^tr. Flynn said he had asked the department of justice at Washington whether to prosecute Gardner for last night's affair and had been instructed to have the prisoner transferred to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth. Immediatolv nftoi" mfnVOicViinrr V>;<. identity Gardner was turned over ,o the federal authorities. The prisoner's first words to Sheriff Montgomery, when taken into the county jail wen a warning that ho intended to escape if the opportunity arose. Edward C. McGrath, superintendent of railway mail service in the West, declared tonight that Inderlied would receive the reward of $5,000 offered fori, the capture of any person who attempted to rob the mails and also the $2,000 which was a special rcwa. ii offered for the capture of Gardner. AU the hearing Inderlied told of going to the car to prepare for l.is run. lie said he changed his clothes, laying his revolver on a table while he did so. Afterward he got out to get the mail from a drop box at tile station, leaving his revolver on tiie table. When he returned, he said, ho was confronted by a masked man who pointed a revolver toward his head and ordered him to hold up his hands and to back into the corner. ' "I started backing, but didn't hold up my hands," he said. When he got into the corner, he 'said, the bandit ordered him to-lie Idnwn on his stomach and he started vt*do so. Then he said he started to liftaighten up but only got high enough to see the gun held in the grab for it and- got his ? jKfci started scufniflg and wrestling." A.t last, he said, both fell down ;vnd he got on top of the bandit and got jiossession of the gun. About that time, ho testified, help arrived in response to his calls. Ib reply to questions, Inderlied, who is over six feet and weighs 215 pounds, admitted that the bandit had numerous chances to shoot him, both before and daring the scuffle. Inderlied identified five bullets as those he had iater taken from Gardner's gun. Two of the bullets had wooden noses aeid were so arranged in the gun that the wooden nosed ones would be fired first. Gardner explained that the wooden nosed bullets contained small shot that probably would stop a man without killing him. "I never shoot at an unavmed man." Gardner said in explaining why he had not used his gun during the strup;gle with Inderlied. Gardner blames bis failure on the fact that Inderlied was in the car instead of a negro clerk that Gardner thought would be in charge. The bandit said lie was after $15,000 which h?> hclievcd was readv for shipment through the local postoffiee. Other mail cars with guards aboard weao in th" vicinity of the station at the I inie, officials said. Believes in Religious Teaching of Children Detroit, Nov. 17.?President Warren G. Havrding says, "Childhood is the !vista of the future and 1 believe in religious instruction for American children. Tlie future of the nation cannot be trusted to the children unless their education includes their spiritual development." Dr. David G. Downey, book' editor of the Methodist Episcopal church today addressed The National Conference of the church here with this opening quotation. "Of course everything depends upon what we mean by education," Dr. Downey continued- "If the term is conceived to include merely the training of the body and mind then religion cannot be taught, because religion is not merely a matter of the body or mind, but primarily of the heart. Serious thinkers in every age, however, have repudiated this conception of education. They have insisted, and in these later days are very strenuously emphasizing the fact that the heart can be trained; that indeed, for the safety of the republic and civilization at large, it most be trained. This is certainly ^h at the wise man had in mind when he said, "Ahove all cultnring culture thy heart, for out of it ave the issues of life.' Many seem to think that religious education propoites a mere process of technical training, that it leaves out the distinctly divine, and that its ultimate aim is simply the development of an ethical system. Nothing could be further front the truth. ^It seeks to develop the good and root out the bad. Instead of overlooking or ignoring the suoerru?fcural factor the great aim of religious education is to keep the child in harmony with Got! from the beginning to the olo?e of life. It further insists that at the proper ape the rightly trained child will come to spirituul consciousness and make a peisonal acceptance <>f Christ as Saviour and Lord." t Study Club The Stuo'y Club will meet Friday afteroeon at 3:45 o'cloek at the home of Mra_ JL "VJT. Buchanan .on Douglass Heights.. t * \ SUPREME COURT FIXES NEW RULING The supreme court yesterday announced the adoption of a new rule whereby appeals in criminal, action that are manifestly without merit may be dismissed by the court with, out being heard as appeals. Th.s rule was adopted Ijy the court and becomes Mule 30. Under the terms of the new rule many cases that are appealed merely for time or to stay sentence for a few days or weeks can be dismissed by the court it? open session and thcioby bring about a better administration of the law. At present the service of a notice of intention to appeal by an attorney stops all court nm< hir.erv until th * attorney gets ready to proceed. This has caused much talk recently and the delays that, have been made merely as a play for time have also been severely criticixod. The, supreme court's step will aleviate much of this delay as the solicitor can move than an anpeal he dismissed where there is no ground for or. appeal and the court can grant a day to hear the motion. After the motion is heard the court can dismiss the appeal, if it sees fit. and stop the dolao of many months which often result in criminal cases. The new rule as announced by th court is as follows: '"It is ordered that the followin r mlo bo adopted by the court, to bo appropriately numbered by tho r ?porter: "After the return for appeal in a ' rimirnl action shall have boon file' with tho clerk of this court, the cnu t in oron session lnnv dismiss the no nonl whore it is made to appear tin' ho grounds thereof are manifestIv without merit.

In the corn- * inittee of nine, at which all nations participating were represented, they produced a basis for discussion which represents their views. The open sympathy of the United States with their position was at once manifest. The British supported it in many respects. The positions of the others were not so clearly defined, although members of the Japanese delegations have given expression of approval. in nart at least, of China's "hill of rights." In brief, China wants guarantees for territorial integrity and political and administrative independence. She proposes the open door for all in all parts of the country; she wants all spheres of influence relinquished; she wants no treaties made affecting her without being consultt d about them. The full extent of China's position is niu h broader than this, but these .ire the essentials.

Farming Under Boll W eevil Conditions Clemson Colege, Nov. 12.?"Farming Under Boll Weevil Conditions" is the title of Extension Bulletin 48, prepared by the Extension Service of Clemson Col lege and now ready for distribution. The publication i?? beeondit ions and is full of infOTTWaWoTi. instruction and suggestion for farmers in regard to best farm practices 11 the presence of the boll weavii. Calling attention to the fact t at muth Carolina is now having to face the same conditions which other Southi rn States have faced one after another in the onward march of the boll weevil, the publication stresses, first of all, the importance of learning thoroughly the new methods and practices for successful farming under new conditions; and urges that since there is no single crop which promises to take (he place of cotton as our main money crop and no combination of crops which can be recommended to all alike, our farmers must wpect to continue to grow cotton and should undertake the growing of new money crops only on a conservative scale, as plunging in new untried crops will bring on problems as hard to solve as are the problems of growing cotton under boll weevil conditions. The first section of the bulletin is given to a discussion of recommendations for cotton production, with attenticn to such important matters as stalk destruction, and other clean-up work, thorough preparation of the i iid. planting of improved varieties, judicious fertilizing, rapid cultivation, collection of weevils and punctured square?-. and the use of winter cover crops. These various subjects are discussed in the light of the experience of cotton farmers in other weevil-infested states. The second section discusses the question of making the farm self-supporting in order that the cotton grown may be in the nature of a surplus money crop. Stress is laid upon the production of staple food and feed crops for landlord, tenant, and livestock; provision for a good all-year home garden and a good home orchard; provision for enough dairy cows anil poultry to supply all the families on the farm; and the conservative development of the hog, dairying and beef cattle itftlustries to ' fit- into a well balanced diversified ' i arming. The third section, devoted to sys. tematic soil-building, discusses crop rotations with specific recommenda' lions for the several sections of the , , state, summer legumes, winter cover crops, drainage and terracing, and the * judicious use of lime, livestock ma; nures and commercial fertilizers. | Brief suggestions are made in the latter part of the bulletin concerning i *- * 1u,v ..Ujuauiicni.
