Op* toot iltj , . < > rnhlo t-fn; EXPERTS NAMED FOIt MANAGING Raleigh, N. C.?Richard R. Patterson, manager of the leaf department of the American Tobacco Company, in charge of buying and redrying all bright tobacco in Georgia, South Carolina. North Carolina and Virginia for that company, has accepted the managership of the leaf department of the Tobacco Growers' Co-operative Association, according to announcement from Raleigh, N. C., headquarters, and later confirmed by Oliver J. Sands of Richmond, Va., general manager of the association. Mr. Patterson became associated with the American Tobacco Comivinv in I00(i as buyer on the Greensboro, N. C., market and was transferred to Danville, Va., in 1008 as assistant buyer on that market until the disintegration of the old American Tobacco Company. Placed in charge of the American Tobacco Company's plant as head buyer in 1013 and as assistant supervisor of markets, located in Virginia and the Carolinas, he was transferred to Richmond, Va., in I!) 17, and later placed in charge of buying and redrying all bright tobaccos in the Carol inas, Georgia and Virginia area. Simultaneously with the acceptance of the managership of the leaf department of the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Association by Mr. Patterson of the American Tobacco Company, Manager Oliver J. Sands announced that C. B. Cheatham of Henderson, N. C., district manager of the Universal Tobacco Company, has accepted the position of assistant manager and head of the bright leaf department of the Tabacco Growers' Co-operative Association. Raised on a farm in Granville county, North Carolina, growing tobacco since early boyhood, for years owner of a stemerv and tobacco business at Louisburg, N. C., Mr. Cheatham later consolidated with ,J. P. Taylor company of Henderson. In 1018 the Universal Tobacco Company took over this business and Mr. Cheatham has since been district manager of that company. The recent announcement of the appointment of F. G. Williams, leader of the successful sun-cured tobacco of Virginia growers, as manager of the dark leaf department in the Tobacco Growers' Co-operative Association will assure Mr. Patterson able assistance in the dark as well as in the bright belt covered by the association. o THE BRITISH ARISTOCRAT The Manchester Guardian says of the late Lord Harcourt that "at every point where ho had to choose between two alternatives in politics he chose the course which would be the less easy for him to follow, the one which would entail the most friction with the class-conscious majority of his own class." That is or was, typical of the British aristocrat. He has a great de.al of class-consciousness in one sense, but not a whit of it where matters rtf opinion are concerned. His sense of security and his sense of superiority make him unafraid to say what he thinks, whether or not it is unconventional or unpopular, or likely to let loose shafts of criticism at his head. He will not defer to the opinion of the herd, even of his own herd. During the Booi War for instance, Lord Harcourt did not hesitate to say publicly what good many of his countrymen were admitting privately, that Britain was in the wrong. Mrs. As(|uith is another illustration of tho type. However commendable or un I 17111 I.M IHIiliJ r 1 11. 1 clv:iUM.> (U1U I IC* I Ul." toranccs, they are not dictated by any fear of public criticism. This practice nu kes for honesty and frankness and truth and progress. It would tie well for America if more Americans hud the courage to adopt it. Incidentally it may be remarked that if one is to judge from ousstandinp; examples there arc fewer aristocrats of this type in Great Britain today than has been the case in the past.?Baltimore Sun (Ind.

An elderly lady visited the aunt with whom Mabel lived. Mabel had heard the stereotyped expression, "Well preserved," used concerning old people. So, after this old lady took her departure, Mabel sprang a surprise upon her elders by remarking, "Auntie, isn't Mrs. Brown a well-pickled old lady?" o Every chamber of commerce in the state of Washington has voted in favor of the American Legion's plan for ;idius;tr>d rnmnonsntinn. 1 ism at 60 |^>.

THE HORRY HERALD, CONWJ SOME USELESS WEEVIL TRICKS Farmer? Spend Much Monev on Things That Are Worthless CLEMSON OFFERS AGENTS Plan Whereby They Can Get j Their Machines Advertised If Meritorious Clemson College, April 0.?It is evident that the farmers of South Carolina are spending thousands of dollars in the purchasing of different ma chines, exterminators and patented methods of boll weevil control simply upon the authority of statements made by the agents who are selling them, says Director W. W. Long, who feels sure that millions of dollars have been absolutely thrown away in this manner by the farmers of the Southern states as the boll weevil has made its advances through the cotton belt, by purchasing contrivances and materials that failed to do what was claimed for them. Clemson College makers this offer to all of the agents who are selling boll weevil exterminators, catchers and patented methods of boll weevil control; that if such agents will submit their machines and patented methods to the experts of the United States Department of Agriculture, in the event that the experts of the-- United States Department of Agriculture and Clemson College find them meritorious and consequently are willing after sufficient trial to advise farmers to make the purchase of any of these exterminators, catchers or methods of control. Clemson College will at once use all its power and influence through the public press and through all ol its agencies to call to the attention of the people the success of any exterminator or catcher or method of control, thus eliminating the expense on the part of the manufacturers or patentees in the hiring of agents and the large sum expended for advertising and other necessary expenses in bringing their machines or products to the attention of the farmers of South Carolina. If these agencies have tvhat they claim they will he glad of the opportunity of having the college and the United States Government to become in the last analysis their advertising and sales agents. If there are any companies or any agents offering for sale machines and remedies for the control of the boll weevil who are not willing for the government to pass upon the efficiency of their machines and methods, the fact should raise a reasonable doubt in the minds of farmers as to the wisdom of investing in their so-called machines and methods of control of the boll weevil. o ? NVOMKN BRING PROHI CASES AGAINST DRUG STORES Bishopville.?Efforts made during j the past two weeks by the women of i Rishonville and Loe countv to have a more rigid enforcement of law regulating the sale of liquor and alcoholic drugs brought the first cases this \veok in the Mayor's court. The first case was tried on Monday, Ernest McRae, the negro porter i at Dr. IT. L. Parker's drug; store was charged with seeing two 4-ounce bottles of alcohol massage at two different times in the same day to Walter White, another negro, for beverage purposes. The case was tried by a iury, and a mistrial was the result. The case tried on Tuesday was against Dr. E. H. I.aw. who was charged with selling two 2-ounce bottles of Jamaica ginger. o jury in this case rendered a verdict of guilty and a fine of $100 was imposed. Wednesday's trial was a case against Willie Rembert, the negro porter at Law & Ackerman's drug store, who was also charged with selling the alcohol massage preparation for beverage purposes. He was also convicted and was fined $25. The defense in each case claimed a right under the law to sell these articles under the Federal laws, as they were unfit for beverage purposes, claiming that .as such the burden was not upon them to determine the use to which they were to be put. Mayor McCutcheon states that there are still other cases and that they will be prosecuted as fast as the evidence can be assembled. Each defendant convicted gave notice of appeal. o SECOND WIND The war was won at a certain cost of dead and wounded, but to these casualties must he added an incalcul, able amount of wear and tear on the minds and bodies of the men who took part, a lowering of their resistance to disease, and injuries passed over I i gh 11 y or unnoticed at the time which shorten the productive life or lead to complete incapacity. Rehabilitation is not, as was at first hopefully assumed, a matter of putting men on their feet again and sending them out to take care of themselves. Though the history of many cases would bear out this theory, the ??K..4 ?I ? vtvii/ii i? uuti iiiurt" um mint? mrajvu'itated veterans now than there were at the ?nd of- the war, that the number is steadily increasing and that the peak has not by any means been reached. When hospitals are closed, other and larger hospitals must take their place. The public, which seemed for a while to want to forget not only the war but the soldiers who fought it, will have to get its second wind and contribute to this cause. It is one that cannot be neglected.?New York World (Dem.) Not knowing where we are going is no excuse for not being on our way. \Y, S. C , APRIL 6, 1022 TELLS HOW TO MARKET COTTON Columbia.?J. D. Coghlan, a farmer of Ennis, Texas, arrived in Coluri;>ic\ last week and has begun a speaking tour in behalf of the co-operative marketing of cotton. Tie has come to South Carolina at the request of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Co-operative Association to tell of the operations of the Texas Cotton Co-operative Association, of which he is a member. Mr. Coghlan began Ids tour on Monday morning at Timmonxville, where he spoke at 10:30. o'clock, Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock he spoke at Hartsville, Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock he spoke at Mullins aijd on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Dillon. On Wednesday he went to Union rmmtv cnooln'../. t - ,l ..v,. ) ^(JVCIIMII^ ill UUIltJHVllie on Wednesday night. Thursday he spent in Spartanburg county and Friday .and Saturday in Laurens county. "I am just a dirt farmer," said Mr. Coghlan, "and make no pretense at oratory. I am delighted, however, at the opportunity to come to South Carolina and tell the farmers of this state just what co-operative marketing of cotton has already meant for Texas and what I believe it will mean for the cotton belt when an organization hx\s been perfected in each state, as Vill be the case before the 1922 crop is gathered. "1 grew 100 bales of cotton last year and it was all turned over to the Texas .association. Under the cooperative plan it has been sold at an average of 3 cents a pound more than cotton of the same grade and staple has brought .from the buyers on the streets of my home town.-. I am glad to be able to say to the farmers of South Carolina that co-operative marketing of cotton is proving a great success in this state." Speaking of how the new method of fin.uipinir liolnoil Mi> P1 n? - P, ....... A.... VWRII.HH said: "I drew fiO per cent of the value of my cottoi, or about $50 per bale, when 1 turned my cotton over to the association. With this $50 per bale I liquidated at my bank. That slackened the noose around my neck and it sure felt pood. In a short time I went back to the bank and asked if my remaining 40 per cent equity was sufficient collateral and the bank's answer was an emphatic 'sure,' therefore I can draw full value of my cotton and at the same time my cotton is sold on the high peaks and not as distressed cotton. "On the street in Texas the grade has always been too low, and staple is a word hardly known. This year I was astonished when I got returns from the association and found that half of my cotton was one and onesixteenth staple.

These loans were all made under the co-oper.ntive cotton marketing plan which is to he followed in South Carolina." i The coming week will he one of great activity in the campaign in South Carolina, officials of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Co-operative Association said. In addition to the meetings scheduled for Mr. Coghlan over the state. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, president of Limestone College, spoke on Monday morning at 11 o'clock at 'Union, and Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, will make four speeches on Friday and Saturday. Friday morning Dr. Poe speaks at Rock Hill; Friday Afternoon at York; Saturday morning at Anderson, and Saturday afternoon at Greenwood. Telegraphic reports of sign-ups were received at the association headquarters from almost every county in the state, it was said. o PLAYING IT SAFE An old Southerner wandered along a small stream and came upon a darky sitting on a foot-bridge below a small dam, his feet dangling in the water and a shotgun thrown across his lap. "What are you doing, Sambo?" "Oh, 1'se Rot a good job, workin' here IV Marse Littleton," the darkey replied. "What .are you doing?" again asked the Soutlwner. "1'se shootin' mus' rats under 'at dam." Whereupon a musk rat appeared under the dam. "Look, Sambo, there's one! Why don't you shoot him?" "Oh, no, man! Do yo' think I'se gwine tuh get out of a job?" o RICHARD'S SELECTION The minister of a Presbyterian qhurch in a small town was giving a talk during the Sunday school hour. The little folks were in a row in the first pew. Richard, aged five, was one of the number, and was always anxious to answer questions. "What shall we sing?" asked the minister. "Let one of the little folks decide." Richard raised his chubby hand and said, "Please lets sing Tipperary.'" . o A PERFECTLY GOOD ANSWER A teacher had a class studying the colonial period in United States history. One of the questions was, "What is meant by religious persecution ?" One of the girls gave this answer: "In olden times, when people went to church, all the men had to hit.on one side and all the women on the other. This was religious persecution."
