Cotton Weighers' Problems. Mr. Editor: The County Board of Commissioners request that I write an explanation as to'the delay in handling cotton this season. First. I wish to apologize to the board for the delay in writing this. Then we all know the weighers' plat form was destroyed by lire last March. -The Atlantic Coast Line railroad re built their part of it, and turned same over to our use September 1st. Dur ing that month there was very little cotton sold, consequenly we did very well, until a shortage of cars came about for shipping; also the receipts increased very much. On Septem f her 29th we had no room on plat form to handle cotton, so we were ! forced to rent the Moore Bros, tobac Ico warehouse. In three days this ! house was packed with cotton, and with no relief on Atlantic Coast Line platform. Then we rented the Ban ner Warehouse and in a very few days this was packed. By this time the buyers had time to dray some, of the cotton from the Moore Bros, warehouse. From that time on for six weeks we had to move from one warehouse to the other as the spaor became available, thereby causing a, great deal of delay and disadvantage 1 in weighing the cotton. On November! 3rd the weighers' platform was turned over to the weighers. This had a ca pacity of about 500 bales. As the At lantic Coast Line platform was con gested with cotton marked up ready for shipment, but could not be ship ped by reason of embargo on most of our cotton centers. Then the weigh ers' platform had to be used as a re ceiving place for cotton drayed from tobacco warehouses. And at this writ ing we are using the Banner Ware house with no relief in sight. To add to the trouble while September re ceipts were very light. October re ceipts were by far the heaviest in the history of our market. We are quite sure-that the Sumtcrj Cotton warehouse has fully complied) with their terms of contract with the! Couiuy Board, it leaves us with much j less space to handle cotton on. We j think the greatest cause of complaint tliis fall has been due to the shortage of cars and embargo on cotton cen ters. We realize the c??tton has not j been handled satisfactorily to either j. buyer or seller, but we could not help j it. We, the weighers, have done the! best we could under the circum- j stances, and congratulate ourselves! on handling the situation as well as we have. As for another .season if there is not something done to in crease the space for handling cotton we see no relief from the same con ditions, unless the boll weevil comes j to our rescue. We sincerely hope ? this will put the public in possession of the facts as to how and why the cotton has been handled as it has. Respectfully, A. C- Thompson, [ Public Cotton Weigher. Business Men's Meeting. A large crowd of Sumtcr business! men met at the local Y. M. C. A. on Monday afternoon for the purpose of! devising methods of improving the! conditions of the young business wo- | men of the city. Dr. W. JE. Thayer, pastor of the! ;First Baptist church acted as chair man. After the meeting had been j opened by prayer, the chairman call-j ed upon Rev. J. P. Marion to state the j object of the meeting. This was done j in as few words as nossible. He told of the conditions under which the! working girls of Sumter existed, cit ing several instances where the young j ladies received barely enough money, j with which to pay their board, not toj mention the many other expenses that J they incur. Dr. Marion stated that; Miss Helen McLaurin, who is leading: the movement for a Y. W. C. A., pre- i sented the matter to the ministerial! association and asked .for help and j advice. Dr. S. H. Edmunds emphasized tiie fact that the young women of the city had helped greatly toward secur-; ing the present Y. M. C A. and add-j ed that it was only fair and just that j they should be helped with their pro- : ject. Mr. Hugh Haynsworth, also made! , a few remarks, stating the necessity I 'and the good that would be done by] the Y. W. C. A. A committee will be selected from the various churches of the city to; meet with Miss Helen McLaurin and j discuss and thrash out the matter, j Next Monday this committee will meet the business men at the Y. M. C. A. i and the course to be followed will bei determined then. This is a matte:- of vital import-] ance to the entire community and it! Iis hoped that a good crowd will be; present on next Monday. Ai'raid of Obregon. Washington.

Russian Misery Under Bolshevik Rule.! - Helsmgfors. Finland. Nov. 17.? j The only bread the majority of the j residents -of Petrograd have been ible to obtain for months has been the so-cailed "duranda," made from flaxseed skins from which the oil : has been pressed, M. Saponcn. a Petrograd art dealer who recently j succeeded in escaping from Bolshe- j vist Russia to Finland, who discloses;: ihis situation says the bread is high-j ly irritating and causes stomach i trouble. ! M. Saponcn expressed the (minion ; that, if the Aiiicd blockade eontin- j ucd, the worst months for Bolshe- ? vist Russia would be March and j April. He stated that.. though un employment was general in Petrograd,' it was diJficult to hire workmen ow- j ing to their Weakened condition and I apathy. The propertied class, who ; arc not allowed food rations, ijet j nothing except what they manage to j buy surreptititiously by selling their! furniture and other possessions. "Bartering is extensively practiced in Petrograd and Moscow as well as I in the country," continued M. Sapo-; uen. "No one may legally possess) more than .".U00 rubles. When peo- [ pie have nothing more with which they may trade they must join the j communist party in order to get | ivork. That is difficult, however, for the bourgeoisie. All the educated i people try to move into the country j where conditions are better.' Last March, foreigners, who up tc that time had enjoyed special privi- I [eg<s. became the objects of perse- j sution. declared M. Saponen. This | gradually increased until June wher. | foreigners, especially the English I were attacked by the wholesale. "The Germans after the 1 irest-X.it i ovsk conference could do res they j liked, but a change came with th* j German revolution. The Germar diplomats were badlv treated and af - i ter June 1 all Germans shared tin | fate of other foreigners." There has been little home life it ! Petrograd since July 1. M. Saponer i stated, when parents were ordered to | take all the meals in the Communal eating houses. This order has not yet been extended to Moscow. Owing to the closing of millinery j shops and other places employing j large numbers of women, those win j were physically able went into tin | munition works and other factories. The remainder were shut off from a j livelihood, and were forced to shift i tor themselves as best they coulci. ! What police protection Petrograd I enjoys is given by women, said M | Saoon- n. and continued: "A year ago every person was a iaw unto himself, the authorities do ing little to suppress1 lawlessness, but since spring the police and militia made up of women from the Baltic provinces, have been trying to keep } order. In Moscow there is a regulai j militia, the menibers of which ar< often, themselves, arrested by sol- j diers " i Although burglars caught in Pet rograd are promptly executed by th Bolshevists, robberies are stili fre quent. Wines and vodka are still obtainabb | at exorbitant prices. Asked if the Bolshevists wer? j showing any signs of factional dtvis j ion. M. Saponcn said that none woult | admit publicly that there was no j unanimity. Concrete Huts lor Eskimos. .

Dec. 1.?The Spectator points out -to Englishmen that the honorary degree of doctor of laws Conferred by Cambridge University m .1. P. Morgan, of New York, was 'extraordinarily well-deserved." .."Mr. Morgan has always been a fast friend of this country and a hard worker for closer Anglo Ameri can understanding." the Spectator continued. "Early in 1915 his firm was selected to act as commercial Agents for the British government in che United States, li was he who concentrated and co-ordinated the enormous orders for war materials. j He also acted as agent for the French j government and, by eliminating com- i petition in prices and deliveries he j probably saved the Allies hundreds ! of millions of pounds. "It was Mr. Morgan again wb took the chief part in placing oh the American market le Anglo-French j loan for 100.000,000 pounds, a loa:: j unprecedented in the history* of ex ! erna] loans by any government. II-, refused to accept any remuneration I for placing this loan. His work in ' using British securities to stabiliz? i . i ".ho exchange was also invaluable.

Crowson,- Jr., T. J. j DuBose and '.:. W. .Segars have just returned from an extended trip J through Georgia and Alabama. The j object of the trip was to study farm- j : ing and business conditions after the j ! appearance of the boll weevil. These gentlemen found the country in the I most prosperous condition of all time, j I The people of these States said that j the weevil is is the cause of all the j prosperity. When cotton alone was; planted the condition of the farmer was nearly always bad, but that since! they have begun diversifying; the! crops, planting a small acreage of cot- j I ton tot he plow, peanuts, corn, vel- j vet beans and raising hogs for the: market, they find that the deposits of f the banks have been more than dou-! bled, debts of long standing have been | paid and the small farmer, who was! formerly in debt all the year around, i has cleaned up and has money in the bank. The farmers are dependent upon the peanut as the main money crop, stating that peanuts at 6c per! pound is better than cotton at 40c. In order to dispose of the hogs, the farmers have sales days twice eaeh month. On these days the farmers from the surrounding community bring the hogs in to be sold. A large number of buyers from the packing houses are present and thus the sell ers receive the highest market price. J In Headland. Alabama, a town of; not more than 3,000 inhabitants, the' farmers sold over $20,000 worth of' I hogs in one day. j I In the party making the tour were; about 30 South Carolinians. They1 i i i were th?> guests of Tumor at Enter- ! [prise. Alabama, on the day the citi-j I zens of the town unveiled a nionu iment in honor of the boll weevil. The) farmers, merchants and bankers of! the town "were unanimous in their; opinion that the diversification of; crops caused by the boll weevil en-j titled him to a monument, showing; their appreciation of a new and more j prosperous era. The farmers of these States say j that cotton can be planted and raised j under boll wevil conditions, provided [ not more than eight or ten acres be j planted to the plow. The cotton! .i should be of an early maturing va [ riety and should be made to mature I as early as possible. The .boll weey? [will make an early appearance and ? ! just as soon as they appear the^uncx-^ lured squares, which will fall off, should bep icked up and burned- It is very important that these' s^u^ire?'' should be watched cosely. A fair crop may be made in this manner despite the weevil. All of the ipea>?? sons interviewed stated most emphar - tically that the one who will suffer most is the- farmer who continues-to . plant a large acreage and fails to^aee that the punctured squares are "de stroyed. ; Mr. Crowson went as a represents? tive of the National Bank of Suntter^ ? of which he is- cashier. This bank-i$c making every.effort to help the faim-' ers of this section avoid making xq& takos concerning the boll weevil. .Z&i&r bank had a boll weevil exhibit at the :* county fair and distributed much-Kt*- '-? era lure about the weevil and ctop&;td l)e planted.
