Columbia, Nov. 18.?The con tinued onward sweep of coopera-! five marketing in the state is in-j dicated. officials of the South Car olina Cotton Growers* Cooperative Association said yesterday, by the; large number of new contracts! coming in . daily. Over one hun dred new contracts have been re- j ceived in the past week and the; number of new members is being j swelled every day.. -There is no membership cam-, paign on at the present time and; practically all of the contracts that j are coming in at this time are vol-! untary and officials say are the; result of the great satisfaction felt! by r the members with the manner j in which the association is function- j ing. Credit is. being given the as-j spciation generally for the strength of the cotton market and the pres- j ent prices of cotton. One of the large contracts to1 come in during the past week was from J. P. Williams, of McCon netlsvilie, York County. Mr. Wil- ? lianas signed the contract this week; and turned over, several hundred; bales of cotton.

( School Trustees Meet Quarterly Session of Sumter County School Trustees Association The regular fall meeting of the Sumter County Trustee's Associa tion was held in the Court House, Wednesday, November 15th. At this meeting quite a repre sentative number of the trustees was present. It was the pleasure of the association to have present Dr. J. W. Daniel, who conducted the devotional exercises, and who was given a rising vote of thanks by the trustees for a splendid talk. Dr. Daniel stressed the great im portance of having the rural school meet every need of the children in the county for from *ho country has come our greatest, men, arm with the proper advantages, the country is still the place where the finest qualities in the child can b? developed. Dr. Daniel's tribute to the work of the rural school in the days that have passed was inspir ing, and made all present feel that it is worth while to strive harder than ever to make the rural school of today fill the place in the com munity and nation that it should. The matter of athletics in the rural schools was discussed, and the association went on record as favoring the purchasing of a silver cup, by means of a small amount given by each trustee, to be offer ed to thessehool coming out ahead in the contests during the County Fair. The cup will be held one year- by the school, and if won for three years in succession, it will become the property of the school. The cup will not be offered until' Fair time next year, but thej schools will be informed of this! prize, end will be given instruc- j tions as to the contests, in order i that " they may begin to get ready j during'the latter half of this ses-j sion. The rules governing the giv- I ing of-the cup will be formulated] by the officers of the Association, j notice of which will be given out j each year in plenty of time. Mr.-B. C. Wallace, county treas-! urer. was invited to explain to the| trustees the law in regard to the ? collection o? the dog tax. Mr. j Wallace also offered some sugges-1 tions as to bov/ to get at the num- I ber of dogs in the county. The! dog tax law, as passed by the leg- j islature last year, is thought to be j somewhat defective, and the trus- j tees voted to ask the Sumter coun- j ty delegation -to try to remedy any j defects in this law. . In order to observe National Ed ucation Week. Mr. E. W. Dabbs, Jr., moved that a mass meeting be called for Saturday. December 9th.! This motion was carried, and the secretary of the association was j instructed,to send out letters to all j trustees, teachers, and. to the min isters of" the ;citv ahd county, and! to .all others . interested in this j greet work, inviting them to come' to this, meeting.. This meeting Will] be made attractive, and further! particulars given in due time. After fixing the compulsory at-j tendance period to begin November i 27th and to run four months as! provided by law. the meeting ad journed. . Mr. E. W. Dabbs. a former trus-j tee, was an interested . visitor at j this meeting, and was gladly wel- i corned. J. H. Haynsworth. Secretary, j $1,500,000 IN NEW TAXES -. ?

Power Washington, Nov. 1 9.?Senator Capper, Republican, chairman of the farm bloc, today announced a I program of constructive legislation. I coupled with a declaration against the ship subsidy bill. He declared if the Republicans wanted to re main in power they must put through a complete rural credit legislation, reduce freight rates an drepeal objectionable provisions of each bill. They must carry out a better marketing policy, turn Muscle Shoals over to Henry Ford and make undistributed surpluses and stock dividends pay taxes and prohibit tax exempt securities. The Associated Charities. My attention has been called, to the fact that there are some people in Sumter who do not know of the existence of the Associated Chari ties. We have believed it wise to ob serve a policy in conformity with the truest charity, not letting the "left hand know what the right hand doeth"?only coming before the public for help,- when we found our organization unable to cope with a situation of distress. But the time has come to let out work stand forth before the com munity for what it is, and again invite all generous, and interested citizens to join our association either as active or honorary mem bers. Seven years ago a small body of women met at the Y. M. C. A. and formed themselves into a league to relieve distress and suffering in our community. Since then hundreds of persons have benefited by our ministra tions. We have given help to tid? them over trying emergencies, such as loss of work or health, un til they could become self-sup porting again. At j that time there was no Red Cross or any other agency for syst em a t i c relief or wel fare work in Sumter. At once we found plenty to do, inves tigating every case that applied for help. From the first our greatest in terest has been the school chil dren. We have supplied clothes, books, shoes, food and milk to en able them to attend day and Sab bath school regularly. We have cooperated with the city nurse, furnishing food for many-families during illness of the 1 parents and when the Red Cross civilian work was instituted we co operated with that organization, though never publicly soliciting funds. Now. that our community has failed to support a. Red Cross of-! fice, we again find ourselves the j only strictly charitable organiza- j iion in Sumter, and we proffer ourj services and experience in handling I destitute cases,' to our townspeople. This is home mission work, and we feel that there are enough good people in our churches to properly care for the poor among us. By going through the Asso- ? ciated Charities, every cent of yourj money is' wisely spent, and goes; to relieve suffering, without any] overhead expenses. An efficient secretary gives her time and keeps accurate account, of all donations and disburse ments. Our work is accomplished through committees appointed ;in each ward, who answer the calls for help therein, so there is no i overlapping of activities. The I member who begins a case usually finishes it. . There are two or more represen tatives from each church on the Board of Charities, and the follow ing various committees serve \ throughout the year: Investigation, J Food, Clothes, School Books, Em- i ployment and Advisory. Our funds are derived from hon orary and active members, from i donations and a legacy from aj warm-hearted citizen. A certain regular amount given | to maintain charity constitutes one ! an honorary member. The following active members i have given generously of their I time and service for many years. I Their heart is in the work, and j they are faithful and loyal to the j cause of the poor, and respond j promptly to all calls of distress, i Methodist Church?Mrs. W. B. j Burns, Mrs. T. W.

Mrs. MacSwiney Released Charges Dismissed by United States Commissioner at Washington Washington, Nov. 15;?The cases against Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney and eight other women, members of the American Association for Recog nition of the Irish Republic, ar rested for picketing the 'British' embassy yesterday were dismissed after a short hearing today by United States Commissioner George H. MacDonald because the proof did not "measure up to the intent of the law." When arraigned Mrs. MacSwiney, who is the widow of Terence Mac Swiney. late lord mayor of Cork, who died In prison in 1920 after a hunger strike, and the others, pleaded not guilty to the charge of violating a federal statute design ed to protect foreign representa tives in this country from assault or violence. The charges resulted from their marching around the British embassy with banners de-, crying the "English Free State'' in I Ireland and demanding the release from an Irish Free State prison of Miss Mary MacSwiney, sister of the' late lord mayor, who is now herself on a hunger strike in a Dublin prison. The case for the government was based upon the contention that the statute was aimed to prevent the "shaming and insulting of a for ign representative's home office or servants" as tantamount to the "shaming or insulting of the rep resentative in person." It was also argued that the banners car ried by the women before the em bassy were insulting to Sir Auck land Geddes, the British ambassa dor even though he may have been absent from the embassy at the time. The defense, represented by John F. Finerty, president of the. American Association for the Rec ognition of the Irish Republic, of fered evidence., to show that the British ambassador was not in the building at the time of the demon stration. It also was contended that no warrant or other legal au thority had been issued yesterday for the arrest of the women, that holding three of the prisoners over night in a house of detention was il legal. After being discharged from cus tody-Mrs. MacSwiney expressed 'ela tion but said she had expected noth ing else. In reply to question^ from friends who crowded about to congatulate her she said that after a short rest in Virginia, made necessary by a recent illness she would continue her tour of the country speaking in behalf of the Irish Republican movement. She said, "It would certainly win out in the end?for the Irish Free State is really non-existent.'* Her only worry, she added, was for the safety of Miss Mary MacSwiney, who, she said, was not strong enough to continue long her hung er strike now in the 12th day, and for her four year old daughter, Marie, of whom she has heard no word for several days. Marie, she explained was at -the home of a woman in Ireland which was re cently "attacked by Free" State troops." Mrs. MacSwiney, Mrs. Mary Ann Nolan of Jacksonville, Fla., and Miss Minnie Kearney of Washing ton spent last night in the house of detention when they refused bond for their appearance at the ring. They' were appreciative of their treatment while in custody they said. The other six women were freed soon ? after their arrest on bond furnished by the Ameri can Association for the Recog nition of the Irish Republic.
