South Carolina—what is it?” Mr. Farrar, chorister, contacted a fine song service and then he with Mr. Stephens sang a duet, entitled '‘Spirit Now Melt and Move.” Evangelist Staphens then took charge of the service, taking for his te*t Luke 24:49, “Tarry ye in x the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high.” lie said in part: “Calvary had come and gOne, the Lord had arisen from the d»ad and appeared to the disciples on different occasions, of which thjs was one.

During the session, Alder man B. W. Sexton called Mayor Moody’s attention to the fact that certain complaints had been made to the members of council in refer ence to Policeman Perry Beasley and that they desired an onportunity to vote on the Question of whether ,or nof Mr. Beasley’s services would be retained. The Mayor requested that he be given the information that the council has, which apparently is 'in the form of affidavits. Mr. Sexton stated that it would be impossible to produce the information at that time, whereupon Mr. Moody stated that in- Esmuch as one member of council was absent—Mr. E. D. Peacock—he pre ferred to carry the matter over until another meeting when a full atten dance could be hqd. However, Mr. Beasley,, who was present, insisted that the matter be disposed of im mediately and when the vote was t.lken, all five of the Aldermen pres ent voted to discharge him, giving him a check for one month’s pay in lieu of notice. Mr. Beasley turned in his badge and pistol, but they were* immediately restored to him by the Mayor, who stated that he would give him (Beasley) a 30-day appointment until his successor was chosen. That settled the matter so far as Monday night’s meeting was concerned! T^hether or not any further action will be taken by the Aldermen at this time is not known. V Fire Chief J. J. Vickery aopeared before council Monday evening and requested that advertisement be made for bids on several hundred feet of new hose and other necessary equip ment for the volunteer fire depart ment. This equipment will be pur chased as soon as bids are received, as it is badly needed by the depart- ent. 303 Miles an Hour Lieut* Alfred Williams, U. S.

Fire of unknown origin damaged 26 bales of cotton, one of them being practically * total loss, on the local platform early Sunday morning. The alarm was given shortly after four o’clock, at which tiihe the blaze was making considerable , headway and but for the efficient Work of the volun teer fire department«would have re sulted in a much heavier loss. Many of the bales were only slightly damag- that will stand between the grower ed. A part of the cotton burned is re ported to have been sold Saturday af ternoon, but several of the l>ales were Still in the possession of local buyers, who fortunately carry insurance. This is the third cotton fire here since the beginning of the present cotton season, but in the other two instances only one bale was damaged on each occasion. It is thought that they were caused by a spark being packed in the cotton at the gin, but many believe that Sunday morning’s fire may have been of incendiary origin. — Many Subscribers Send in Renewals IS ENDORSED CALHOUN SAYS ASSOCIATION SAVING.

Credits Association. “We are all familiar with conditions that prevailed in 1920, when the last 13,0Q0,000-bale crop prior, to 1924 was produced. We saw many growers lose the savings of a life-time as cot ton dropped to 10 cts. a pound. They were simply slaughtered. We made another 13,000,000-bale crop last year and the market ranged between 20 and 25 cents a pound for the whole season. Co-operative marketing had arrived. This year, according to the government estimates, we will have a bigger crop than in 1920 or in 1924. Only co-operative marketing is sav ing the grower from another debacle. “Co-operative marketing has been J endorsed by practically every student of economy. It has the hearty en dorsement of the President; it has the endorsement of the - secretary of Agriculture of the United States. It has the endorsement, of farm leaders all over the country. ^ “It is my earnest hope that every bank in South Carolina will do every thing in its power to further the cause of co-operative marketing. In pro moting it we are building for the future and building on a solid rock ” Suggests a Cattle Feed. Col. Calhoun urged that the fanners cut their corn and cotton stalks and pea vines and grind them up. adding a touch of syrup and declared that they would have an excellent feed fqr their cattle. He said that it has been demonstrated that this would make an excellent feed. In cutting their cotton stalks the growers will also be fighting the boll weevil. He stated that the corn stalk, cob and all should be ground up with the cotton stalks and the pea vines on a machine pre pared for that purpose. There will be many growers who will be short of feed for their cattle this winter. By adopting this suggestion the shortage can be partly overcome.
