American Cotton association has asked all Cooperative Marketing associations to hold all cotton for a 30Vac price. After a thorough discussion of the average cost of growing the 1922 cotton crop as ascer1 tained by the American Cotton association the present shortage of cotton supplies and the prevailing low spot market values otFere-i the grower, the executive committee has unanimously recommended that spot cotton be held off the market for an average of ail grades of 30 He per pound as a fail ! and reasonable price. The Cooperative Marketing associations all over the South are urged not to sacrifice the staple at less than the cost of production. I). J. McMillan, who arrived in Un| ion from Columbia this afternoon | snid of the situation: "This statement from the American 1 Cotton association will no doubt have I weighty influence with the director of the South Carolina Cooperative a.; sociation. Nearly every member ol \ the board of directors is an active member of the American Cotton ass>> ! nation. "T personally think the members > 1 the a sociation will receive a belt price than 30 cents. Why shouldn' , they? There is not an intelligent coe ton man m Union county but whn' knows full well this is a speculato* \ i market. Sixty years of practical ex 1 poricneo has demonstrated that tu< j growers receive better prices undo cooperative marketing plan.

They have ove 30,000 bah's of rolton turned over i< them already and it is coming in b; the train load. Such men as Harr G. Kaminer, J. B. Johnston, J. P. A;c Nair, Harold C. Booker and W. h Scarborough realize fully the respou sibiiity resting on them. Togethe with the rest of the hoard of director they are going to sec that the mem hers of the association receive a fni price for their cotton. "But every bale of cotton sold out side the organization means that i will be sold in competition with th product of the association. Will y.n turn your cotton over to the specu lators who represent a system whici has robbed you, your father am grandfather for a hundred years? O win you turn it over to an organiza tion of growers, like yourself, who ar fighting for a decent living price fo jour product? Will you dump it oi the market at 20 to 21 cents or wil vou sell it through an organizatioi fighting for a fair price for you That's all there is to the question. "Some of the fellows who are say ing, 'Let's wait and see what they do eve go:r.g to be in the same positioi as the tobacco growers in easteri South Carolina who stood on the ware house floors and saw their tobaeci sold for from three to nine cents pe pound less than the members of th< Tobacco Growers association."

Wllburn announces the CJ local department will make Its quar- ^ terly Inapect'oo next few days. "Fire Prevention Week" will be ob- V( served in Union beginning today. "Fire Prevention Week' is a nation y wide movement with the object of tne mJ week to reduce the enormous yeaily expense caused by fire throughout the United States. The theory of the week is to try and "kill" the fire before it w is started and to eliminate as far as jr I possible all possible places where a . | fire might originate. t) For the past few years the United ^ States has been observing "Fire Prevontinn Hnv " Hnwinm fkoun ironfM Mia *v,,w,v" "'ft Mivov jvw.a V..v g | presidents of the United States have i only set aside one day for cleaning up "fire traps.' It, however, has become ^ . to be recognized that one day a year j , is not enough for the fire department cj in every city to carry on the necessary i inspection, and consequently Presi- ^ . dent Harding has set aside the week ^ , from October 2 to 9th. v With the belief that all fires are ^ t' preventable, the people of Union are ; urged to cooperate with the depart. ment this year in trying to reduce the ^ fire loss. The property loss by fire ^ f during 1921 was $485,000,000, or ngr ured down every minute that passes ^ t now, fire in the United States de. stroyed $923.00 worth of property, t The kovemment, with the cooperation ? s with all of the fire departments in the ^ . United States, hopes to greatly lessen ^ this amount. During 1921 15,000 per- ^ r sons lost their *ives by either being , burned to death in a fire or killed by . a falling beam from a burning buiid. | ing or the like. These figures are ai most unbelievable but we are certain .? that if the people of the United States * - cooperate with us we will be able to - show decided decrease in both the r number of lives lost, as well as the \ loss due to destruction of property j during 1922. l There are several ways how fires ' - may be prevented. They are as foli) lows: r v 1. Don't use makeshifts instead of . T\ y proper fuses in your electrical cir cuits: the fuse is the "safety valve'* " [. of the system. 2. Don't lea"e electric flat irons or r other heating devices turned on, .us tending to something else. 3. Don't use gasoline or other vo- ^ r latile liquids to remove spots from clothing or for other purposes. 4. Don't thrown your lighted t matches or smoking material where r e they can possible cause fire. 11 j 5. Don't smoke in bed. Perhaps ^ - those guilty of this pjractice are too 1 green to burn, but the beds are not. il 6. Don't let children play with r matches or bonfires. 7. Don't fail to have your defective e chimneys and flues mended, r 8. Don't forget to have the soot a removed from your smoke.pipe. If I I not cleaned, the pipe may overheat n and start a fire when you operate v ? the furnace. i< 9. Don't neglect to protect walls, ii - ceilings and partition from overheat- v ,' ing of stoves, furnaces and pipes. t u 10. Don't put hot ashes into wood- ii n en boxes or barrels. v 11. Don't fill oil lamps or sto\e& t o by open flame light. t r 12. Don't let rubbish accumulate. n e If people would only make these 12 points permanent rules of conduct, ii the power of the fire tyrant would be j hroken. 3 This is the 50th anniversary >f t the great. Chicago fire. C j \rne most impressive fire in Amor- * , i< an history is probably the burning i: f of the city of Chicago 50 years ago a or. the 0th of this October. 1 f Mrs. O'Leary left her lantern with- / in reach of her cow's feet while she ii I was milking and the cow, kicking the d lantern over, started a blaze which he- h came a conflagration and destroyed p $165, 000,000 worth of property and 200 lives. o t All Help Pay the Loss. r s A fire is not to be welcomed be- t cause there is ample insurance. The i public pays for all fires in the insur- I ! ance rates, which are based on the r t record of fires, with a good margin t t for safety to the insurers. g Insurance does not prevent the t community loss. It merely distributes the burden. In the end everybody that li carries insurance helps pay the cost t of all the fire losses. If the losses ii 1 could be definitely reduced the fire o ? insurance premium would be reduced i . proportionately. Eight or nine of ev- f 1 ery ten fires are due to carelessness, s t Paul E.

' Southern Baptist Sunday schools v have increased in numbers 346 per ^ cent in the last 80 years, according J* to a survey of the matter recently 11 completed by Dr. E. P. Alldredge, secretary of Survey, Statistics and Information of the Baptist Sunday School Board. His survey began with 1892, when Southern Baptists reported 8,862 schools with an enrollment of 492,775. By 1912, twenty years iater, *r the number of schools had grown to 15,321 with an enrollment of 1,284,014, r' while ten years later, in 1922, the number of schools had mounted to ** zi.izi, with an enrollment of 2,201,- p 346. But with all this growth it is found that there are approximately 2,000r 000 white Baptists in the South who are not enrolled in Sunday school, and bi a total of 21,501,721 white persons In of the South who are not engaged in the p.t study of the Bible in a Sunday school, ar According to these figures, less than is' j one-fourth ths white people of the wl l-South attead Sunday school. in t J "I I 1?1 l?

R^-e Grapes i'vom the NevVYork Times. If Mrs. E. H.

At * his time when the grape industry is ! ncreasing steadily, the new variety 1 fhich Mrs. Warren proposes to in roduce will be a particular addition o the rather limited list of grapes I ow grown in this counttry. The slips on which Mrs. Warren s pinning such expectations havo ust been brought by her from the ' 00 year old grape vine at Hampon Court, the London palace of King ieorge. She urrived at the Waldorf tstoria a few days ago with the cher- | shed slips which she will transplant , nd raise in her own garden. Mrs. ( Van-en said that with many other American visitors at the Savoy hotel ] n London, she had besieged the gar- , leners at Hampton Court to obtain for ( ier some of the wonderful black , rrapes grown there.

"Although they have been grown , o supply the table of the royal fam- | ly, so extensive have the vineyards . lecome that there is now an enornous surplus.
