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.*'

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. ^

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

attorneys state. Watts mill

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.

Game Tomorrows
Clemson College, Nov. 15.?The
contest next Friday between Clemson
nul Erskine is causing wide-spread
interest among fans throughout South
Carolina, even though it will have no
hearing on the state championship
face.
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.

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

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

CHINA OFFERS
"BILL OF RIGHTS"
Washington, Nov. 10.?The Washington
conference today turned to consideration
of Far Eastern questions
with almost the same momentum with
which it tackled the question of naval
armaments. ,
It was the Chinese delegates who
led the way this time. 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. The last feature
may 1 e construed as aifecting the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, although the
British take an opposite view.
Today's session of the big nine
vas occupied entirely with the presentation
of China's views. Immedi;lely
afterward ii became known that
he> cemmamkd the moral support of
lie United States. The British viewpoints
were made known a little later,
i he Japanese did not state their recuon
hut previous pronouncements
>y some of their representatives have
out them in line with some parts of
hina's proposals.
The discussion of Far Eastern affairs
will be continued at another
neeting tomorrow. Meanwhile the

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

landlords and tenants to meet new
conditions; co-operative effort in production,
standardization and market 9
ing of farm crops; and the need of
9 specific county programs of safe
;6 farming by ench county in the state. '
