Allendale Citizens i Hear Senator Smith " ? 11 1 1 * Allendale, Sept. 5.—Senator E s D Smith was roundly cheered Thursday —afternoon by an audience of Allen dale County farmers- when in response to a question by a prominent planter who had not yet-joined as to whether there was any assurance the Co-oper ative Association would ever be #>le l*^to control 50 per cent of the cotton I^Vproduced in the belt since they had ^^not ~flready done so, he said that the ^J^nembers had faith that they would. The Senator declared that when his first child, the pride of his and Mrs. Smith’s heart, first reached the age where she could stand alone and showed a deal re to walk that her mother sitting in a chair nearby told the child to walk to her. The child k started to walk but toddled to the floor.' “Do you think that I gave up hope then that the ckiid would ever be able to walk?“ asked the senator-, and the crowd cheered The Cotton Co-operative Associa tions are only three years o]d, the senator said, but - they have made wonderful progress in those three years. Each year has seen an in' crease in membership, each year has seen an increase in the volume of cotton handled by these Associa tions over the belt. And he declared, if the members keep the faith they are going to reach their goql. Senator Smith declared today that red-blooded Americeis had resented taxation w'thout representAtijn. ihe colonial days had rvaohed that they would not stand for it. “Did each man say that he woo’d get him a gun and defend his premises,*’ asked the senator. “No they banded them selves together into the colonial army, a great co-operative organiza tion! Men died by tne thousands to gain political liberty for themselves, he declared, ytt the sjvthern farmer has for sixtv years permitted his cotton to be taxed. Everybody is getting a profit out of it but thg man that grows it. Eighteen men com prising the board ol/ directors of the Liverpool Cotton As-so iatior. name the price which the American farmer is to receive for his cotton. The man that grows it has no say so in it. The senator pleaded with the grow ers present to bind themselves to gether in an organbia’/on just as did their ancestors in the colonial days and fight for s fair profit for that on which the South ha?, a monopoly. Earnestly and eloquently the sena tor pleaded those growers who had not yet taken the step to join in the fight and at the conclusion of his speech several signed contracts. L. F. McKay, of the American Cot ton Growers Exchange, the overhead organization of all of the '■otton co operatives, reviewed briefly the splen did progress being made by the South, He gave figures showing the growth of the various associations and the increase in the volume of cotton handled each year. Senator Smith was introduced by Judge J. Henry Johnson, of Allen dale, who commended the movement to the farmers of his home county Mr. McKay was introduced by Mr. Cunningham, a loyal member of the Association, who gave his strong endorsement. Thos. E. Crane, county chairman presMed. Dr. T. H. Tuten, chairman of the Hampton County unit, and many other visitors were here for the meeting. I DOUGHTY’S ’ the old reliable : DRY CLEANERS AND DYERS since 1895 IPhone 6562, Columbia' SPORADIC SPLASHES. ^y U. JAY. * A Worthwhile Book I road a book the other day that Unpreoaed me- very much, and which I consider ‘so wholly worthwhile that I am cordially recommending it to my readers. It wtta ^written by a Jewish emigrant from Russia, and it tells us iri graphic words the unvarti Ished story of how ''‘the submerged half” of human kind live. It carried the title, “Children of Loneliness” and the author’s name (which is a jawbreaking' one) is Anzia Yezier- ska, but • after reading only a few paragraphs of the narrative you’ll be gin to ask, with our old friend of Avon, “What’s in a namb,” and answer as he did M A rose by another name would smell as sweet.” “Children of Loneliness” has to do with what is known as ghetto life in New York, several of the earlier chapters being the autobiographic story of the author’s own trials and * struggles and hardships after she reached America and before she ar rived as a literary figure of import ance. Throughout the chapters into which the story is divided, especially the earlier, autobiographic ones, there 'is a passionate cry of brajn and heart and soul hunger that is epic in its grandeur and nobility, making your own heart and soul hunger in sympa thy for that great one struggling in the biting and devastating toils that bind her, tearing-her heart in agony and whipping her, soul in rebellion. As I recall the book, its four first chapters relate to the personal ex periences and hardships of the author, while the other chapters are pictures of hardships and trials endured by others which are, familiar to her. My suggestion for deriving the greates satisfaction from reading the hook 'is that, after finishing the first four chapters, it be laid aside for a day and then be taken up again. In this way the danger of dulling the edge of sympathy from too great familiar ity with that which aroused it is avoid ed. We cannot get the full value from a book without the help of sym pathy, which we should strive to keep alive. Sympathy has, of course, a thousand aspects and as many bases, and the sympathy for two or many things or persons varies as widely in its character as the subjects of it. But intercourse without sympathy is a trial of patience and travail of soul. If you can keep it alive it smooths the road of life and makes flowers to bloom by the wayside. The book may be described gener ally as an invitation from the author to view a small gallery of ten pic tures, world-wide in subject, bold and often grand in power and pathos of treatment and heart-rending in ef fect, but, let us hope, also awakening in us a larger.-closer,- mqre personal sympathy for those less fortunately placed in life than ourselves. And there are always these. However is olated we may be from companionship and driven by hardship and poverty, there are alwajj^ those who look en viously up to our “plenty”, and to whom there is always something out of our very little store that may be given in alleviation of pain or sorrow or hunger. And when all is said and done, the highest duty one owes to himself and to the Father in heaven is to help those of his brethren win heed his help.

It calls for; new and additional plant costing more than $13,000,000. The large, additional investment is but a reflec tion of the demand for service in this and other South ern States. The new plant is necessary to meet the service needs of present and prospective subscribers, whoee business and social activities require adequate, efficient, comprehensive service. * - ■- After all, the telephone system is merely the joilit trustee for those who own the property and those who subscribe for the service. In no other industry are there as many owners gs in the Bell System. - There are approximately_750,000 security owners and more women than men stockholders. The enormous sums of new money constantly re quired have greatly increased the investment per tele phone, making it necessary to earn greater revenue per telephone, in order to meet the growing cost of producing service and leave a reasonable balance for profit. Our efforts to keep pace with the growth and prog- reas of this State and to measure up fully to our so. rious responsibility are aided In no small measure by your friendly encouragement .. . * . , ’ . MORGAN B. SPEIR, CaroUnaa Manager * SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY The Writing Person. I do not believe the writing per son places a very high estirnme on what he writes. He is perfectly sat isfied with his work only : n. rare in stances. In almost everything he does there occurs the occasion when he realizes his failure to perfectly ex press the idea he wants to convey. One who writes must, of course, pos sess something of a vocabulary, but this widish acquaintance with words is not -always sufficient to enable him to clothe in fitting language the children of his brain, for these are often most elusive and hard to'con fine to the spot while their proper fclothing is being fashioned. That’s one reason. Another is that the idea itself is not completely formed in the writer’s mind, and yet another reason is found in the imperfect fit in exact shade of meaning of the word- clothes to the idea. As far as de ductions from my observation go, this is true ef ^practically most writers, even those * characterized by great fluency and accuracy of expression. As one grows intellectually new ideas sire born, and these new ideas require either new words or a read justment of old word* to present them accurately and with force to others. There is a grandeur, a lofti ness, an imperial quality about some ideas that beat for utterance within the writer, challenging language ef the meet graceful and accurate char acter, and the writer often feels that nu Ice Cold Drinks « The invisible microbe is ever in dustrious to find suitable media for growth, otherwise his implant will fail. Your respiratory pass ages, your digestive canal, or your eliminative channels must be in a lowered state of vitality, if dan gerous bacteria colonize to do hurt. Practice over-loading your stomach until its normal function is impossible; it becomes tired, “flabby” and incompetent. You chill the respiratory passages by unwise exposure—the resulting stasis and congestion at once af- j for^s lodgement for active, health- destroying germs. Conversely, the well-cared for digestive tract, afid the carefully “groomed” throat are seldom attacked, being in themselves provided with natural antiseptics which resist disease. It is only when defenses are broken down, that this sort of foe attacks. One of the most harmful prac tices is the immoderate use of ice- cold drinks. ' What frozen air is to the breathing apparatus, cold drinks are to the lining of the di gestive fract. The walls of the stomach are chilled to a point far below normal, stopping healthy secretion at once. This weakens the delicate glands until. bacteria find easy access. Snow and ice should never be swallowed by a healthy individual, no matter how pure they are. It is cold that does the mischief. Surgeons know that a large per cent of appendi citis operations are on ice-water and ice-tea habitues, and that also, there arc about five tines as many cases in hot as in cold weather. The logical advice is, never drink ice-cold fluids habitually. Never expose the breathing organs to ex tremely cold air for prolonged periods. Proper observance of • these precautions may save a life. Next Week DANGER IN COLD.BUT— challenge adequately. Feeling that he must give birth to his idea he is forced to employ a form of words that fails to express the thoughet thoroughly and attractively, and that js the “fly in the ointment.” Of coursfe there are geniuses whoso minds al ways furnish on the instant the per fect fit of words to the idea., but geniuses are so rare among the vast multitude of writers that they need not be eonaidered in this discussion. Neither has this comment to do with an author’s favorite writings. One may have a preference among his writings and, perhaps, a great fond- Viess for one of them without consider ing it to be a work of art or literary wonder. There may be a character about an article, or traits of charac ter about the personages of his story that appeal, for various reasons, to his affections.
