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

company.
The recent announcement of the appointment
of F. G. Williams, leader

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.

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

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. I)eni.)
LITTLE MABEL'S QUERY
Little Mabel, eight years old, had
passed much of her young life in the
company of grown-ups and had acquired
many of their oldish ways by
imitation. 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?"

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.

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.

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. I have sold cotton
f6r forty years in Texas, but this is

i'he past season. These loans were
all made under the co-oper.ntive cotton

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.

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."
