Editor Daily: Permit me, as a cot? ton producer, to use the columns of your enterprising paper, if you please, to urge the cotton sellers of Sumter, I'Co and Clarendon counties to utilize the United States government cotton grader now located In Sumter at Chamber of Commerce rooms. Personally I intend to have Mr. C. E. Killingsworth, the government grader stationed here, grade every bale of my cotton, not only the cot? ton I have in the warehouses, but ev? ery bale of this year's crop before I place it in storage. The farmers should be informed of the fact that it is wise to have this expert and entirely disinterested grader to grade their cotton even though the cotton is to be stored for future sale. It is not incumbent up? on any one to sell his cotton immedi? ately after it has .been graded. This government grader will grade every sample of cotton brought to him, whether for presort or future sale, or whether the cotton was stored or is to be stored. The Sumter Chamber of Commerce, through Its managing secretary, and through the influence mainly, of ?ourso of our popular and enterprising :ongressman, A. F. Lever, has had a hard time securing this govern? ment grader that we have been cry? ing for these many years. But Mr. Kilingsworth himself in? forms me that the length of his stay on this market will depend largely, he thinks, on the number of bales of cotton he is requested to grade dur? ing the next two weeks. In other words, to bo plain, unless the cotton sellers keep him busy grading their cotton he will be sent to some other cotton market where the cotton sell? ers are sufficiently interested to show appreciation of a government cotton grader. Suppose we get busy trying to interest the cotton sellers in using this government grader. The Hon. A. F. Lever, chairman of the comlttee on Agriculture of the national House of Representatives, the Department of Agriculture, the ' Sumter Chamber of Commerce, Its hustling secretary, and other govern? ment and organization officials, may do their best for cotton producers in nu.ny ways, nevertheless their ef foits will prove to have been in vafn unless we,. thc_JL9_Uon producers, are, j going to cooperate with the forces working in our behalf. If wo keep this cotton grader busy for the rest of this season, and we can keep him busy grading all of our unsold cotton that is stored, as well as the rest of the 1016 cotton crop being marketed, why I understand there is a likelihood of the Chamber of Com? merce being able to keep this grader here permanently. Only by persist? ent urging and many letters has the Chamber of Commerce secured this important government cotton grader for the farmers of Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties. We should organize a cotton sell? ing association and employ a regulai selling agent, and we should get busy trying to organize cotton producers of Sumter, Lee and Clarendon coun? ties without unnecesssay delay. I speak from personal experience when I say that by using government stand? ard grading samples I have already saved many dollurs, and I am satis fled that Mr. Killingsworth will save me much more money by intelligently informing me as to the right grades of my unsold cotton, and he can save many thousands of dollars for cotton producers if they will only use him. All bales should be cut and sam? pled from both sides of the bales, and at least six ounce samples carried to the grader. He furnishes every cot? ton seller with cards showing the grades, length of staple, and you can use these official records with your Kraded samples to advantage when you do sell your cotton. At least, that Is my experience, and the expe? rience of other cotton sellers. Yours truly, Frank K. Holman, M. D. Sumter, S. C, Oct. 28, 1916. l ire on Friday Morning. From The Dally Item, Oct. 27.

The Gamecock County Fair com? mittee has arranged with the George Reynolds Shows to furnish their fourteen-piece, uniformed Italian band of expert musicians to furnish mucic pn the Gamecock County Fair Rooster Excursion to the rural dis? tricts on November 20th. It is proposed to assemble as many prettily decorated automobiles as pos? sible, filled with public spirited Sum? ter county men and women, to go on a boosting tour to as many points as possible in one day advertising the first Sumter county fair. The committee will allow every business or professional establish? ment the privilege of doing all of the advertising they desire on this trip. As many of the rural schools as possible will be visited that day and open air concerts will be put on by the fine band. There will be no speech making at ail, the time usually alloted for talks being devoted entirely to musical ren? ditions for the pleasure of the partici? pants and of the people of the sections to be visited. In good old democratic fashion, and in buffet luncheon style, an intermis? sion of about thirty minutes will be allowed,- at some convenient spot for those going along to eat their lunch, which must be carried along as no time will be allowed to accept the hospitality of our friends of the ru? ral districts so far as eating the usual linner on booster trips goes. The business establishments of Sumter vlll have a splendid opportunity to idvertlse their fall and holiday goods on this trip.
