Cason died at her home in Chesterfield early last Friday morning after an illness of several weeks. The many friends of Mrs. Cason were shocked to hear Friday morning that the end had come. Everyone knew that she had been in failing health for some time but she was thought to be somewhat improved just prior to the passing. At the time of her death she was in the 75th year of her age. All her days had been lived in Chesterfield and her life was a blessing to the entire community. She united with the I Methodist church in early years and her life has been like unto a beauti ful song, filled with the real spirit of the Master. She was a quiet unassuming Christian. Her children can ?all her "blessed." j She is survived by four sons and two daughters, Mr. E. D. Cason, of Lakeland, Fla.; Mr. Mims Cason, of Poplar Bluff, Mo.; Mr. Ned Cason,| of Topeka, Kan; and Mr. C. R. Cason,! of Texas. , There are two daughters, Mrs. T. Eddins, and Miss Edith, both of Chesterfield. The funeral services were conducted at the Chesterfield Cemetery Saturday morning by Rev. L. E. Peeler, her pastor, assisted by Revs. B. S. Fnderburg and J. H. Hildreth of the Baptist Church. The floral offerings were beautiful and the large number attending her funeral attested the warm place she held in the heart of her people. Indeed, it may be said of her in the language of St. Paul?"She hath fought a good fight?She hath kept the faith." LITTLE JAMES WILSON Little James, the three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Wilson, of this place died last Monday night at 10:30 o'clock at the home of his parents on Green street. Funeral services wore conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon by the Revs. L. E. Peeler and C. P. Chewning, artd the buriel was in the Cheraw cemetery.

Heretofore he said advances te were made to cotton exporters only 10 on cotton actually exported under d definite contracts of sale. Following P conferences with cotton men and 'e bankers in Washington, New Or;e leans, Atlanta and New York, he COTTON OUTLOOK IS GROWING BRIGHTE Columbia, July 11.?The reductic of 28.4 per cent, in the cotton acr age this year as shown by the goveri ment report issued on Friday, shov the temper of the cotton farmer i the opinion of R. C. Hamer, presidei of the South Carolina Division of tl American Cotton Association wh said yesterday that if the farmers di not receive a fair profit for their cro this year there would be a much mot dractic cut in the crop next year. "Our farmers have served notic on the world that they are tired c growing cotton at a profit to everj body but themselves," said Mr. Hart er. "They have cut their crop thi year over 5,000,000 bales and if thi does not bring them a fair price the are going to make a much mor drastic cut next year. It is my be lief that unless this year's crop bring a fair profit this fall that next yea not one-half of a crop will be raisec "In the past the threat of the Sou them farmer to reduce his acreag was not taken seriously and when th American Cotton Association launch ed its campaign this year for a reduc tion along the same line, practicall; all of which had resulted in failure This year, however, a systemati campaign was conducted and th government report says that ther has been an acreage reduction o 28.4 per cent. Some private report place the reduction at over 30 pe cent. "It would really seem that the cot ton farmers are profiting by thei bitter experiences of last year. No only are they decreasing their pro duction of cotton but they are plan ning to market that which they di grow along the most scientific lines A co-operative marketing associa tion is being formed in each state o the belt. There will be a workinj agreement between them all so tha in the future there will be no rus! of cotton to the market in th^ fa! but instead the supply will be regulat ed to meet the demand. Instead o the farmer asking the buyer each fa] what he will give him for his cotton the buyer will be asking the farmei represented by the co-operative mar keting exchange, what he will let hin have cotton for." | BOTTOMS?MOORE I A J J- ? n uuuic weuumg 01 unusual Deaut; was that of Miss Gladys Bottoms o this city and Mr. Henry King Moore of Chesterfield, S.
