Banks to Support
Cotton Association
Columbia, July 26.?Assurances
from the banks of the state that they
will support the South Carolina Cotton
Growers' Cooperative Association
to the limit are being received daily,
officials of the association said today.
Letters were received yesterday from
ever 100 banks, they said, stating
their desire to cooperate with the organization
in every way possible.
Many of the banks have signified
their intention of launching vigorous
rdvertising campaigns in behalf of
the association and of doing everything
in their power to encourage
those farmers who have not yet done
so to sign the contract.
The Commercial Bank of Newberry,
cf which John M. Kinard is president
has already begun a campaign of this
nature in Newberry, the Newberry
papers having carried in their last
issues large advertisements by their
bank endorsing the movement and
urging the farmers to join.
"Alter a thorough investigation of
the cooperative marketing plan," says
the statement ty the bank, we wish to
state that we heartily endorse it and
without hesitating further, advise every
cotton grower in this and adjoining
counties to join if they have not
already done so.
"If the plan wasn't a good one our
government would not have agred to
loan the association $10,000,000 for
South Cnrolina.
"We are going to back the association
to our limit, and in doing so, we
feel that it means a long step forward
in bringing independence and prosperity
to the farming industry and
putting it upon a more secure and
solid foundation. |
"W_ u.i: *1
"e uciifve me iarmers need to
| adopt more modern and more busi-i
ness-like methods, and unless they do'
this there can be no hopes of lifting'
their occupation from its present depression
and putting It upon the organized
and systematic basis that
other business enterprises rest upon.
We see in cooperative marketing the
first and most solid hope for accomplishing
this. We look upon it as
my sensible busiiess-like effort to Increase
agricultural prosperity and think that
farmers should join with each other
in this enterprise. If you haven't
joined, don't stand back and let your
neighbor do this work for you. Cooperative
marketing in our opinion
is here to stay, and we are all going
to benefit by it, therefore, don't wait
until the last drive is made but join
in now with your neighbors and
friends and sign.
"It has been reported that the
credit of farmers might be injured if
they joined the marketing contract.
Don't be afraid of this, for if you have
existed under the old plan which has
caused so many to lose their credit we
assure our customers and friends that
their credit will not be injured with us
in the least account of signing the
marketing contract nor do we believe
their credit will be injured with any
other business institution.
"Cooperative marketing spells prosperity
to all of us, and we want to see
the county sign up 100 per cent
f.trong.'*
Short Course for
Club Boys Ends
Clemson College, July 22.?The^
state short course for club boys closed!
<>n Friday evening after two weeks of,
instruction and recreation for the J
junior farmers. Forty-one boys at-'
tended the course from 21 counties.
Thirty-six of these were scholarship
winners from their respective counties
and five paid their expenses for
the privilege of attending.
The young farmers were given in-,
struciion during the course in various |
phases of practical farming including,
corn and cotton,, dairy cattle, swine i
poultry, soils, orchard and garden.]
plant diseases, injurious Insects, farm
machinery, farm bookkeeping, farm
sanitation, etc. Along with the class!
room instruction in these subjects
there were practical demonstrations
ar.d field exercises.
The youngsters lived during their
two weeks' stay at Clemson in the college
dormitories as college boys, were
taught by regular college teachers,
and in various other ways had a foretaste
of real college life.
Abundant recreation and amusement
were provided in the form of
swimming, baseball, basketball, camp
fires, singing of club songs and familiar
songs, and hikes about the community.
The work of the short course
was in charge cf L. L. Baker, supervising
agent of boys' club work, and
B. O. Williams, assistant agent, who
slate that though the attendance was
not as large as in some previous years
on ?account of financial depression,
the short course has been a fine success
and the boys attending have received
splendid training and inspiration
and have enjoyed a fine program
| of recreation.
A special feature of the course was
an address on Thursday evening, July
20, by Mr. W. I'. Conyers, a successful
business man of Greenville, who
spoke to the boys on "The Great Mistake,"
driving home as his central
thought the lack og wisdom in the
spending of monev and urging them to
save and spend wisely.
l ne nosing exercises 01 wie cuurmwere
held Friday night, July 21, and
were attended also by the 200 club
boys from Anderson, Oconee, and
Pickens counties, who are spending
three days at Ciemson College under
their respective county agents. Certificates
were presented to those completing
the short course and talk?
were made by D. W. Watkins, assistant
director of the Extension Service;
L. L. Raker, supervising agent, and
I others.

how heavy life is without

\ Temporary Successor to
Gandhi Found in India
Cawnpore, India, July 27--Mauana
Hasrat Mohani, who, in some
luarters at elast, has succeeded Malatma
Gandhi in the active leadeihip
of Indian nationalists, has had
i wide experience in the promotion of
ndian movements. Unlike Gandhi,
vho is a Hindu, Mohani is a Mohamnedan.
He is now president of the
Jnited Provinces Provincial Congress
Committee and was recently elected
resident of the All India Moslem
#eague.
In 1901, Mohani received the degree
f Bachelor of Arts from Sir Syed
ihmed Khan's Mohammedan College,
lis first political venture was the
stablishment of a Mohammedan
ewspaper, printed in the Urdu lanuage.
This paper, called Urdu-anaulla,
did much toward arousing
nd uniting the Mohammedan comlunity.
From this time he began
ttending the annual meetings of the
ndian National Congress and pubishing
in Ui'du reports of the proeedings.
In 190R, Mohani was charged with
edition on account of an editorial
/hich appeared in his paper on the
English policy in Egypt. Although
his had been written by a student in
tligarh College, the editor was held
esponsible for it and was sentenced
o two years imprisonment and a fine
f 500 rupees.
Upon being released from jail, he
tarted his newspaper again, and alo
opened a store where Indian proluets
of daily use were sold. At
irst, he was compelled to work uner
great financial difficulties. Subequently,
his paper was again stuped
by the government, and he startd
another.
On several occasions, restrains nave
een imposed on Mohani by the govrnment,
but the last of these were
emoved last December. He now has
large following among Indian nalunalists,
in spite of the fact that
n some occasions he has opposed, not
inly Lord Heading's government, but
iandhi as well, By his opposition to
>urdah (the confinement of women)
le has drawn on his head the opposiion
of some of the more orthodox
Mohammedans.
Now It's Cigars
The conceit of American smokers
eceived a shock recently when the
fabricated Production Department
>f the National Chamber of Comnerce
found that the suposed ability
o select cigars by such names as
irevas, Conchas, Epicures, Perfectos,
Panatellas, Londres, Cabinets, Boujuets,
etc., was today largely a falacy.
In the study of waste in industry
hrough duplication of sizes and
<inds, Fabricated Production Depart
nent has found tnat competition in
the cigar industry has caused t^o
nan ufacturer largely to disregard
he sizes and shapes by which the
imoker formerly identified the cigar
if his choice. The question of price
las had much to do with this change,
rhe jobber, distributor and retailer
lave, all been responsible for it. A
dight change in the length or shape
if a cigar may materially affect its
ost.
One manufacturer of over two hunjred
sizes says that 80 per cent o'
this variety is confined to ten sizes.
Some concerns, generally the larger
producers, recognize this duplication
ind waste and have reduced their va
' ieties to a minimum in one instance
:>f three, and of this number one size
constitutes 98 per cent of their output.
Cigarettes were formerly made in
a number of sizes, but today the
forms are largely confined to oval
ind round shapes, of standard length
and thickness. Cigarette packages
ire also largely confined to two^types.
