C., Thursday Aftern<MU^Apn 6, 1922 q, p? DR. LEE DAVIS LODGE OF COOP W. D. Wood, Reporter. Dr. Lodge, in his usual inimitable manner presents this great sane method of selling cotton to audience of Union county farmers. In the beginning Dr. I.6dge expressid his interest in the farmer and his problems, and further stated that any man with sound sense must have the welfare of the cotton farmer at heart. This great cooperative marketing movement effects not only the farmer but every form of life in the cottonproducing section. There must be something to this movement when leaders in every walk of life has endorsed it. Cooperation. Cooperation, the integration of one l, man's activities with every other, man's. The cotton farmers in the past have made the mistake of selling as individuals thus developing the worst , kind of competition. They have made the mistake of selling without any, system. In this world no man can | stand alone. The town is dependent to a great extent upon the agricul- j tural trade territory around it. When i the farmer prospers all legitimate i business prospers. We are members one of another. 1 The interest of one is the interest of 1 ' all. It is a mistaken idea that bus- : iness is war; that trade is war; that J commerce is war. Business is not war, if rightly understood business is co- ' operation for service. When men pro-1 ' pose that we get together to sell cooperatively, it means that we pro-, j pose to do something for the benefit \ not only for the farming class but for ' the whole community. This organi- 1 vat ion will hurt no business except . the useless middlemen. Every man should practice inde- 1 pendent thinking, but we should study the thoughts and actions of our lead-! eis. What do our biggest and best farmers think of cooperative market-, ing of cotton? They .are heartily in favor with the movement, have signed the contract and are enthusiastically ( urging their brother farmers to sign. I i When our leading men are so unani- \ mous in their endorsement of a prop- 1 osition it is well for us to give it. a i careful study. i What is the S. C.

Owings was called to Mountville today to hold an inquest over S. S. Farrar, j a prominent citizen who was found dead in his barnyard at an early hour this morning. The surroundings indicated that Mr. Farrar had shot himself, a wound be- , ing found in his temple and he was holding in his grasp a pistol with which the fatal wound had been inflicted. The verdict of the coroner's jury was in accordance with these tacts. It is said that Mr. Farrar had been depressed for some weeks over financial matters. He was u native of Union county and had resided near Mountville and engaged in farming for several years. He is survived by his widow and two i hildren. He was about 65 years of age. A few years ago he was a candidate for county supervisor and later made the race for county commissioner. He was a highly respected iritiiwiii . Mr. Farrar is well known in Union and his death hrintfa grtef to many hearts. | ( The funeral services will be held at r o'clock this afternoon at his home at i Mountville. Funeral of Emperor Charles Funchal, Madeira, April 6.?Perfect weather marked the funeral of former Emperor Charles of Austria-Hungary yesterday. It is expected that the body would be eventually sent to Hun- | gary. ' 4 \ [ 1 Hunger Strike as Protest I, Lisbon, Aprii C.?Eight syndicalists go or a hunger strike against imprisonment. , I ! TALKS ERATIVE MARKETING it in an insurable state. Weather damage of cotton in the South runs into enormous amounts annually. The association will secure the cheapest possible warehouse rates, and they will be able to store cotton much cheaper than the individual owing to the enormous volume of business, (irading and Stnpling. When you deliver your cotton to the association it is weighed, graded anl stapled, and a receipt showing this grade, staple and weight is given you. This work is done by the best, most expert cotton graders whom the association can hire for you. When this cotton is sold it is sold by the association's grade and staple, thus you see for the first time in the history of the world a cotton farmer selling on his own grade and staple. This you see does away with the incompetent or dishonest cotton buyer. Pooling, Financing and Selling. All cotton of the same grade and staple will be pooled and every man will receive the same price for the same quality of product. When the enttnn is Helivere,! tVio association will advance a reasonable umount if the grower desires. Then as sales are made from time to time throughout the cotton year the money is prorated among the growers interested. This is a selling organization und not a holding organization. The Texas association has already sold 70 per cent of its holdings and the members have been receiving from $10 to $15 per bale more than the individual seller on the outside. These sales are made not by an untrained producer but by the most competent cotton selling agent who can be hired. A man tvho knows cotton from the beginning to the end, a man who knows supply ;ind demand and a man who knows Lhe markets that are willing to pay Lhe most for a particular grade and staple of cotton. The association receipt is a negotiable receipt and every one can be discounted with the Federal Reserve. The Txas association was such a good financial risk that the War Finance Corporation extended them a $15,000,)00 line of credit. (ientral Advantages. The association will sell cotton all luring the year and payments will be made as sales are made, this will g ve js money not just for a short period >ut we will have a little cash coming n all during the year. Receiving our money in this way it will do us more <ood than getting it all at once. When we receive more money for >ur cotton it means better roads, better schools, better churches and better everythimr. It will take our wives find little children out" of the "cotton fields where they do not belong. The association will gather information in regard to cost of production, and we must have a price which will give us i just, fair and reasonable profit. We must have a standard of living in ^eeninir with whnt w<? Hpswrvc und >ve deserve comfortable homes, cc intertable furniture, palatable food and education. Cooperative marketing is no longer in experiment. It has made California rich and it is proving practicable and profitable everywhere it is being tried. Union county farmers should help their brother farmers of ihis state to perfect an organization ilong with our sister states. Every cotton-growing state of any consequence has an organization already perfected or is working toward that ffld. We must not fail. We need confidence in ourselves and confidence in our fellow man to restore normalcy. We must have faith in this great movement for faith is its foundation. ro HOLD INQUEST NEXT SATURDAY Oklahoma City, April 6.?Various pnases ot the slaying of Lieut. Coi. Paul Ward Beck, at the home of Jean P. Day developed today and county officials declare they are investigating every possible angle of the tragedy. X-ray photographs settled the question whether Beck was shot, as fragments of the bullet were disclosed in the head. The coroner, M. C. Williams, announced he found bottles and sliced oranges scattered about the room where Beck and Mrs. Day struggled. Day said nothing stronger than nonalcoholic apricot cordial was served to the party. Oklahoma City, Okla., April 5.? Jean P. Day's story of the killing of Lieut. Col. Paul Ward Beck in the fashionable Day home here early Tuesday will be told at the coroner's inquest Saturday, he announced tonight. Day, wealthy oil operator and attorney, who is held under bond, declared he would take the first opportunity to relate under oath how he found his wife struggling in the arms of Beck and then struck Beck with a loaded revolver. A survey of the Day home today was believed to have located the bullet tired when Beck was struck by the revolver. Officials said it appeared the bullet wa^ imbedded in the ceiling of the drawing room. County Attorney Hughes said he was endeavoring to check up the possibility that a fourth person might have been in the Hay home when Beck was slain. He said that unless new evidence was brought out, his only recourse would be to file either a murder or a manslaughter charge against Day. Maj. Thomas Q.

FORD RAPPED ON BY UNION MAI Chicago, April 5.?Henry Ford, De troit automobile manufacturer, wa declared responsible for advancini specialization in factories and accus ed of "conferring a curse on his work ers," before the railroad labor boari today in the wage hearing at whicl 204 railroads are seeking a 10 pe cent wage reduction. Edward J. Evans, vice president o the International Brotherhood o Electrical Workers, attacked the rail roads, which, hem said, were tending toward too great specialization (ir shop work. "Henry Ford may ha\te conferrei a blessing on many people, those wh< own automobiles, but he conferred j curse on his workers. They sit a their benches, half dead, doing thei bits of work mechanically over am over," the union leader declared. High specialization was asserted bj Mr. Evans to be the "worst vrim< against humanity." The railroads, ii seeking a sliding scale of rates, ae cording to the work done by differ ent shopmen, were tending more am more toward specialization, he said. Replying to testimony by the rail roads that outside industries paid much lower wages than the roads t< hsop craft employees, union official: today told the board that the carrier: had not presented a true summary o the situation in their wage hearing evidence. Harry Carr, vice president of a ma chinists' union, told the board tha John G. Walberfi, representing East ern roads, had named 47 establish ments in Cincinnati which paid lowe rates than railroads paid. "Everyone knows that a strike ii Cincinnati two years ago lost every thing for these men and that the] now are forced to take what they ca? get," Mr. Carr said. "That is not i fair example." "Mr. Walber cited wages in si: firms in New York. I wonder if tha was all he could find adn why he di( not mention the Hoe Printing Press company, which pays shop crafts men 90 cents an. hour; municipa shops which pay $1.12 1-2, or the Black and White Taxicab company which pays 89 cents as compared with the 77 cents now paid rallroac shopmen."

While awaiting further advice from Congressmar Nolan, chairman of the committee Mr. Lewis announced he would attempt to hasten negotiations for settlemnt of the anthracite strike through the miners' and operators subcommittee on wage contract negotiations in session here. Referring to reports from Washington that operators of Ohio and Indiana already had sent telegrams to Mr. Nolan declining to meet with the miners, Mr. Lewis said: "I have not received any official notification that the operators refused the invitation. I can only reaffirm our willingness to negotiate with them at any time." Mr. Lewis appeared well pleased 'Adth the attitude taken by the congressmen towards his presentation of the miners' case and expressed belief that the workers hail established their sincerity of purpose. "Our position remains unassailable." he said. "There also seems to be a sympathetic response on the part of the , pubiic to our efforts to settle peaceably our controversy with the operators." He vigorously denied reports that i unless thfc bituminous operators ,1*5 * wv? tv cuinci clive luc uiiiuii men would withdraw from the collieries all engineers, firemen and pumpmen 'detailed to protect property while the .*trike is on.

WOMAN TAKES OWN j i: LIFE BY DROWNING' J Greenwood, April 5.?After placing ' j wild violets and honeysuckles in a ' vase and arranging the table f< r t!>< breakfast of her husband and four ' sina'l children, Mrs. S. F. Esk< w, T1 ) years of age, plunged to her death ' some time before dawn yesterday in . daddy's pcnd, a short distance from : the city limits of Greenwood. The i body was found near the dam in ten , feet of water. No note or message was left to explain the deed. Her husband stated that she had previous , ly made threats to "fall off in tht ' pond some day." According to her husband, Mrs. F.s key had been in ill health for seven years, since the birth of their young est child. She had been despondent i over the condition of her health and over financial affairs and that is supposed to have been the motive for her suicide. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that "Mrs. Eskew came to her death from drowning at her own hands." Neighbors said that the pond, on the | western hillside of which the Eskew home is situated, had possessed p ' strange fascination for Mrs. Eskew All of her threats of self-destruction | had been by drowning in the pond. Monday afternoon she picked on the pond's banks the wild violets and honeysuckles which she placed in , vases Tuesday morning before plunging to her death. Apparently contemplating suicide she gave minute instructions to her oldest child, An.. *--? i?v, ui i*v?vv iv iniiAii a uu ui nut'iii'i vhich she had begun. Some time between 3 and 6 a. m. Mrs. Eskew got up, placed a clean table cloth on the dining table, arranged the dishes and conveniently placed fresh covers for a small table in her bedroom. Leaving a lamp burning on the dining table and her shoes on the door step, she made her waj n night dress and stocking feet to a diving platform from which she plunged. Her hat and apron were found on the platform, placed there so that they might trace her, her husband believes. According to Mrs. R. W. Gaddy, a neighbor, Mrs. Eskew had frequently complained of despondency and "being Blue." Mrs. Gaddy says that Mrs. Eskew told her that since her marriage to her first cousin sh" had been estranged from her parents, Mr. and . Mrs. J. D. Eskew, of Piedmont, having run away to marry after having her clothes packed to go to Greenville Woman's college. Besides her parents and husband. Mrs. Eskew is survived by four small children, the oldest being 13 and the youngest being seven. 1 Mine Mules Enjoying Strike I ' Wilkesbarre, Penn., April 6.- Once taken into the deep recesses of the mines where the cars cannot penetrate, mine mules are never rmoved except in case of a strike.

Later I told the other guests that she was ill. Still later I called a physician to attend her." He explained that he came to San Francisco two days before the party 'purely for pleasure."
