One name was draw n Irom the box to determine who would re ceive the purebred bull in exchange for his scrub. The others were paid the market price for the'r animals.

Last May, Mr. Carbery started a campaign by correspondence among the farmers and g’nners in this State for closer co-operation botween ihe cotton grower and the ginner, for the purpose of keeping cotton seed pure intended for planting purposes. You probably have received two let ters already from Mr. Carbery. I have been selected by Dr. W\ W. Long, Director of Extension, to ccn .i..ue his campaign. Not long ago the tabulated result? of an official survey carefully mad< of the cotton mills in South Carolina showed the astonishing fact t hat only eight were using cotton grown in this Statdl, at the time of the sur vey. The reason given by the ma jority of the mills was the fact that home-grown cotton was inferior in grade and staple to western cotton. About 90 per cent of the mill of ficials stated they would prefer to use South Carol'na grown cotton, provided they could get the quality of staple that was required by their mills. Many of these mill operators voluntarily stated that it was their opinion that the use of poor seed and mixing at the gin was the cause of the poor quality of staple produced in South Carolina. Many farmers are us'ng pure seed. Very few farmers are paying proper attention to the ginning of the coDon from which they intend to secure planting seed. Until a ma jority of South Carolina farmers pay more attention to the ginning of Outstanding f Jr Collections 1925 Delinquent Taxes for Collection $ 9,635.44 1926 Delinquent Taxes for Collection. ____ 12,646 69 1927 Delinquent Taxc? for Collection 29.304 23 Total Delinquent Taxes To Be Collected $51 586 33 Total Delinquent Taxes To Be Acc •mted for -$13f. 894 01 Fee’s Collected and turned over to County Tieas. 2 358.1S T.

In other words', whoever would have a good fall garden would do well, Mr. Sch.Better explains, to give attention to some of the follow ing suggestions: Keep land to be planted to- fall veg etables well cultivated, even if the early crop has been haiVested, for this saves moisture, keeps down weeds, and keeps the soil mellow. Plant various garden crops at the right time for a succession of vege tables into the fall and winter. Make plantings of Lookout Moun- ^ “The Winning of Barbara Worth,” Samuel Goldwyn’s presentation of the Kerry King production of Har old Bell W'ight’s best selling novel, with Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky, ccmf s to the Dixie Theatre as the feature photoplay this week. Manager Creighton sa d that he had secured the big reclamation film a '- ter weeks of negotiations by tele graph and telephone and that he felt the D.xie Theatre honored in offer ing a production cf such proportions to its patrons. The dramatic romance which fea tures Ronald Colman and the lovely Vilma Banky, reun ted on the screen after a year’s separation in other films, is a glowing tale of those pioneers who battled with the men ace of water, first in its total ab sence and then in its overflowing presence. It is at cnce the story of vast lands reclaimed and the reclam ation cf a man’s soul. “The Winning of Barbara Worth” presents the most unique eternal tri angle of any of the more important films, with Willard Holmes, eastern “nelneer, coming to love Barbara just as Abe Lee. desert-bred west erner, does; and poor Barbara does hot know her own mind, loving both. Gary Cooper, one of the vear’^ “finds,” plays Abe Lee to Ronald Colman’s Holmes. And Miss Banky is Barbara Worth, daughter of the Jefferson Worth who knew the west should be reclaimed. The ten million readers of Mr. Wright’s best seller will find all the salient features cf the dramatic nar rative preserved. Abe Lee and Hdipes ride for their lives with the money, the poor benighted townsfolk ilee in a splendidly staged stampede away from the waters the sandstorm of the desert whips and lashes Jeff erson Worth and his beautiful w'fe in the prologue, orphaning the baby Barbara. And Henry King has beau- t fully photographed a tornado 1 for the first time i.i a motion picture, made possible through a stroke of *oi tune while the company was on location in the desert. With E. J. Ratcl'ffe as Greenfield, hated Eastern capitalist, and Charles Lare as Jefferson Worth, the motiva tion of the story is in capable hands.. Clyde Cook, Follies comedian, Sam. Blum acd Erwin Connelly (the stage - manager of “Kiki”) handle the com edy, and that colorful role of the Seer who dreamed of gveener fields : s played by Paul McAllister, with a great ilowing beard. Sharing interest, with the w'dely read dramatic narrative of Harold 3cll Wright and the fame that al ready attaches to the picture Henry K.ngi makett - c<f “Stella Dallas,” has made cf ‘The Winning cf Barbara Woi'vh,” is the reunion of Goldwyn’s. complementary stars, Mr. Colman and Miss Banky. Critics in New’ York and Los Angeles have been fei’vent in their praise for the work 'f these stellar players and with them coupled with King’s masterly mention aid Goldwyn’s gigantic staging of the whole, Manager Creightdn is to be congratulated on h's foresight in arranging for the picrentation at the Dixie Theatre vyt Friday and Saturday. Samuel Goldwyn, the veteran pro- 'ucer of “Stella Dallas,” “The Dark Angel,” and other conspicuous con tributions to the screen, admitted that he paid $125,000 for the screen rights to the Harold Bell Wright best seller. The same Mi*. Goldwyn was horrified only a little mo w .e than a decade ago when he and Jesse Lasky were forced to pay SlO.OOtJ^* lor the rcreen rights to “The Sq\ufw Ma:4” the f rst film Goldwyn made. Mr. Goldwyn purchased more than lie screen rights to a dramatic story vhen ht bought “The Wirn.ng o.'
