Carter Applauds Idea. Mr. A. B. Carter. of Greenville. S. C, organizer and founder of the Southern Textile Exposition com pany, and secretary and treasurer of the show up until the last show, wasi in Charlotte this week and had this j to say about the proposed Made-in-i Carolina exposition: "We have been holding in Green ville since 1915 a semi-awnucl textile machinery show. These shows have been a big success from the start j and they have been the means of j bringing the manufacturer and ma-j chinery dealers closer together. To; show how the public generally has-' patronized these exhibits, there, were' at the last show 70,000 people in; attendance during one week. "Since coming here and talking' to your show promoters I havel learned things about my own state' which I did not know before. I have learned that we manufacture' ?hoes and shirts and numerous other products in South Carolina which I never heard of before. "It seems to me that an exposi tion which will feature all of the manufactured products of all classes in the Carolinas should be a won derful thing from an educational standpoint and should do rauch to show our people what vast strides have been made by Carolina manu fact urcrs. "I think the idea of a Made-in Carolinas exposition is a great one and I predict for your show a strik ing success." THE TRIPLE CURSE Copenhagen. May 1.?The steps taken by the Entente nations to com pel Germany to pay the war repara tions are being criticised in the fi nancial and industrial circles of Scandinavian countries. Apprehen sion is expressed that these measures will also have a punitive effect on the neutral countries. "There can be no doubt," said a prominent Danish manufacturer to the correspondent, "that. 7)enmark and other neutral countries, especial ly those bordering on Germany, will be swamped by German manufactures to the great detriment of our national industries, a great many of which will be* ruined. I for one think ir is high time *hat those countries, who for one reason or other took a ne tral attitude in the great war, go- to gether and agreed on a joint .-policy of. protecting our own interest:-!." ' s A well-known Danish politician. Dr. L. V. Birck, professor of econom ics in the University of (Copenhagen, said in an interview: "The tragedy of the situation is that Germany will not pay, and can not even if she would. Her home debt has "passed the sum of $?C.0?0, OOO.oOO.' The indemnity insisted upon adds an amount equivalent to the .whole value of Germany's na tional wealth according to pre-war' standard. ? "Another tragedy is that France knows that a policy of a stern Shy lock asking for the last ounce of hu man flesh is absurd, and yet she is . compelled to stick to the guns of her demands. Unless she keeps up her faith :n the solvency of Germany, she must admit her own bankruptcy. - "This is then the triple curse of the present European situation: Germany will not pay and cannot pay, at least not so much as France, who knows her own demands to be impossible, must insist upon to oscare her own economical destruction. The Entente must demand an idemnity. and is! justified in demanding if. but cannot' foi* interior reasons acept German : goods, the only real means of repay- j ment" HAIL STORM | IN GEORGIA Macon, May 11.?A violent wind ! and electrical storm, accompanied by, rain and hail, swept over 'Georgia today.

Sunday School Associ ation to he held at Winthrop College.' Rock Hill, June S-9-10, for the berie-j fit of all who are interested in Sunday' School work. This organization, which is inter j denominational in its scope, performs, for the Sunday School teachers of our State somewhat the same function j as the State Teachers^ Association does for the public school teachers. The educational program of the Sun-: day School Association is determined -by an Educational Committee, of twenty-five of the leading profession al educators in this State, " and the program of this Convention in parti cular will seek to give both inspira tion and training for the work of re ligious education. As it is the task of the public schools to give us an intelligent citi zenship, so it is the task of the Sun day Schools to give the elements of leligious education for the develop ment of a righteous citizenship. We trust that as many of you a:; are interested in Sunday School work will endeavor to avail yourselves of the opportunity presented by this State Convention.

JOHXSOX, President Winthrop College TRAINS RUNNING AT A LOSS Columbia, May 12?Representatives .of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad yesterday presented a petition to the South Carolina Railroad commission praying authority to take off trains Xo. 68 and Xo. 69. operating between Columbia and Sumter. The commis sion, after holding a hearing on the petition yesterday morning has taken the railroad's request under advise ment, the decision on the petition to be announced later. The two trains were not earning expenses at present, the railroad rep resentatives .said, alleging that the continuance of the service meant only daily losses to the company. The traffic now earned on the two trains; it was also pointed out, could be handled by other trains, operating between the two cities. Xo. f,S leaves Columbia at 7:45 o'clock in the morn ing, arriving in Sumter at 9:20 o'clock, while Xo. 60 makes the re turn trip, leaving Sumter at C:25 o'clock at night and reaching Colum bia at S o'clock. Representing the railroad at the hearing were P. A. Willcox of Fjornce, general counsel for the Atlantic Coast Line; R. R. ?Kare of Florence, division superin tendent, and W. H. Newell of Rocky Mount. X. C.. general superintendent. Senator J. H. Clifton of Sumter also attended the hearing, pointing out the inconvenience the suspension of the service might work upon the peo ple of Sumter and other travelers passing through Sumter. The taking off of the two trains. Senator Clifton said, would in many instances force passengers to wait for several hours while now they can make direct con nections at Sumter for Columbia. The consideration ?-i a number of routine matters occupied tho com mission at its session yesterday, com plaint being received from do Amer ican Railway Express company that fhe commission's recent order com pelling the shipping of express by the quickest and most direct route was working a hardship upon tie company. The order, the American Railway Express* company alleges, is discriminatory. Chairman Shealey of the railroad commission holds tha1 since the order applies alik- to both 'companies and is intended only tc give the public better and u ii?;ke? service any discrimination in it will be found to be in the favor of the shipping public. HARDING'S OFFI CIOUS SISTER Warliirigton, May 11?A letter writ ten by Carolin- / caw, President! Harding's sister, created a stir in* the District Supreme Court today when ! Justice Stafford, to whom it was ad dressed filled it with papers connect ed with divorce proceedings between Dr. G. R. Lee Cole and his wife, Minnie B. Cole. Counsel for Mrs. Colo asserted Mrs. Votaw had asked the justice merely to give due con sideration to testimony in behalf of the who, but opposing lawyers char acterized it as "an outrageous effort to influence the judge" and Attorney Crandal Mackcy said he had called the matter to the attention (,f Pres ident Harding's Secretary. The let ter asserted. In- said, 'that the wife had been wronged by the husband." Justice Stafford stopped the discus sion by notifying writers of stu b l<-t ters that tln-y must expect to have counsel on bot! sides examine th?*in. j Huntsville. T?-xas.

The crop contract is the heart of co-opera tive marketing by growers. Many .people regard co-operation as a sort ?>f charitable attitude that causes co ; operators to work for the public in terest at a sacrifice to themselves. In I the minds of such people co-opera jtion and business are not associated. As a matter of fart, true co-opera ition such as takes place in a co-oper ative marketing enterprise is a thor oughly cold-blodded business affair [just as much so as is a successful I stock company corporations. A co | operative marketing association of growers conducts business in a busi ness-like way for the benefit of its (members just as a corporation does business for the benefit of its stock I holders. In this modern age, how Sever, neither must fail to take into account the public good, as this would j be a short-sighted business policy. (Some of the labor unions in this ?country have apparently followed 'such a short-sighted policy to their I own discomfiture. As a guarantee I of the good faith and righteousness of I the motive, nearly all crop contracts I used by growers provide that the gov j ernor of the state shall appoint one j director who shall represent the pub ? lie generally. This is a good thing j both for the public and for the as I sociation. : The crop contract is a mutual .agreement on the pnvT of growers to j market their commodity through one ; channel, that channel to bo created jand managed by the growers them j selves. The growers elect directors j from among themselves who man :age the association's affairs for the ; growers. The directors employ such i experts in marketing the particular (commodity as are needed to serve j best the interests of growers. Every i thing done by the directors in oper ating the association affects the pro duct of all members alike, including their own. They cannot, because of their position as directors, secure ad i vantages for themselves which do not j apply in exactly the same degree to f all other members. Jfow Directors are Elected. "When the campaign for signatures i to the crop contract is completed, j the state is divided into districts in : such a way that the members in each j district produce approximately the j same number of bales of cotton j (if it is a cotton marketing associa ? tion). One director is then nomi i nated from each district and this ! nominee becomes a member of the ! board of directors of the state asso ciation. In nominating, the directors jeach member casts one vote regard j less of the size of the crop produced by him and marketed through the as I sociation. ; A co-operative association con ; tracts to receive and. market all the. j crop of its members and to pay to j members the proceeds therefrom less costs of selling and of maintaining the association. ' The association agrees to pool the crop by grade, va riety, and kind and to pay each grower exactly the same amount per pound or oilier unit for the same j grade, variety, or kind or ? product [delivered during the operation of a [pool. "With .non-perishable commod I ities, pools usually run for a year, but the time varies with other -commodi i/.cs from one day upward. Obligations of Members. Members of such an association contract to deliver at the direction of, The association their entire crop produced or acquired by them as growers or 'lessors and to ncc^p-t in payment therefor the amounts paid by the association under the nlan stated above. They also agree to the pooling of the crop entailing as it does some delay in making final pay ments. The grower further agrees in case of violation of the contract, and agrees that the association is en titled to an injunction to prevent, further breach of contract and to a decree for specific performance of the terms of the contract. A grower who violates the contract pays all costs of making him comply. Sources of Strength in Contract. The crop contract is the means of i making a growers' cooperative mar I keting association a business con j cern instead of a failure. The con tracts are legally sound and serve to protect all members from} the in vasions that are sure to be made against them by the enemies of co operation. Weak-kneed members are held in li.'te in spite of temporarily high prices offered by the middle men who do not wish to see farmers succeed in bettering their marketing I conditions. Members who go into the association meaning business are protected from the disloyalty of oth ers who would sacrifice everything for a temporary personal advantage. This is the essence of true co-oper ation. The contract provides that unless enough growers sign up to insure (that 'a certain .stated minimum amount of the crop will be marketed co-operatively the contract does not j bind anyone. Thus in signing up the j first contracts growers are protected from belonging to a weak associa- | tion. A satisfactory volume of busi- j ness is assured before anybody is bound. The contracts run for a period of years usually from 5 to 15. This ! gives time for the organization to become thoroughly established and j to refledt the benefits resulting therefrom to members. A one-year association could not form the per manent trade connections that would ! best enable it to cut out the losses in j marketing for which it is organized. The crop contract makes an associa tion the strongest factor in the par- j ticular trade in which it is engaged, j Birmingham. .May 12.?Mrs. Alice Rynard was instantly killed ;it mid night by lightning, as she slept beside her husband, who was uninjured, inj their home at Sayreton. j Berlin, May 12.?A marked relaxa tion from the tenseness of feeling! which prevailed during the last few days was observable in German po litical circles today, now that the crisis raised by the Allied ultimatum has passed through the acceptance of the terms by the Wirth Ministry.
