The difficulty occurred at Mims' house. The negro, who is a powerful mulatto, was evidently engaged in an altercation with his Wife.

Just as he turned a corner of the house with h's pistol in his hand, Mr. SHU was felled by a blow from the negro’s axe.

In the presentation of the new plan of the South Carolina Cot ton Growers’ Cooperative Association, the explanation of the ac tivities of the Association has been divided into seven points es follows. 1. GOOD COTTON ACCURATELY CLASSED. 2. ADEQUATE MARKET INFORMATION. 3. EFFICIENT OFFICE AND SALES MACHINE. 4. OBTAIN MIDDLEMEN’S PROFITS. 5. SPINNER COOPERATION. , 6. INCREASING CONSUMER DEMAND. 7. PROFITS FOR MEMBERS ONLY. V. ' . ' ' Under eacH one of these seven ponts there is need for ex planations which will be given later. , — ~ 6. Increasing Consumer Demand. The ultinvate prosperity of the cotton industry is dependent upon an increase in the con umei demand for articles made of colon. The Cotton Textile Institute is at work upon this problem and the American,Cotton Growers Exchange is cooperating. 'Con tracts are bo ng made witjh the style renters of the world; wi.h the great co.turners; dressmakers;, fashion designers and cotton gcqds merchandisers, with the idea in mind that people can be made to-wan things made of cotton if these creations are pre sented to them in an ab.ractive manner. Already theJCaxhvoa de signers of Paris and New York and the largest department scores of the United Slates are featuring style creations made of cotton good j under new and attractive style names. This ir a much bet ter way to make people buy cotton goods thatr the old way of „ asking people to buy cotton goods to save the poof cob.on farmer. PROFITS FOR MEMBERS ONLY—WILL YOU PARTICIPATE?
