The suggestion of President Har

by officials to meet a ready respon:
H.- ' ?
viii me cupnuis oi me powers co:
cerned. The probable attitude of tl
powers towards such a proposal,
was said, was sounded in advan<
through the American embassies ar
legations abroad and the impressic
was gained that repliefe to formal ii
vitations to such a conference woul
prove favorable. Tending to confir:
this belief, in the opinion of officia
was the statement of Premier Lloy

welcoming the initiative of Presider
Harding in the matter.

who was near Mr. Poster when th
bear attacked him, killed two of th
cubs with a shotgun but was unabl

take its place of leadership in such
council, association or league of ne

DEATH OF MRS. MARY E. CASON
Mrs. Mary E. 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.
The little fellow had been sick less
than a week and his chance for recovery
seemed favorably until Monday
afternoon, when a sudden change
for the worse occurred. All that
medical science sclence and loving
k.nJ. J- * "

Mr. ana Mrs. nuHun, Who ars !cr
ed and admired by Chesterfield, have
the sympathy of the entire community
in their bereavement.

n New York, July 11.?The war ft

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."

Thg entire lower floor of the at

STATE NEWS
Approximately two-thirds of the
. farms under cultivation in Richland
r county are operated by negroes, according
to information received in
Columbia recently from the United
States department of commerce. The
figures are taken from the complit
ation of the records of the 14th cen,
sus.
Paul Dunlap, a well known young
planter of Delphia, in York county,
' was drowned Sunday in Guy's pond
near Chester. He was 27 years of age.
His wife was on the bank and witnessed
the drowning. It is thought
that he went in bathing too soon
after eating dinner and that death
was caused by acute idigestion, rather
than cramp.
Hazel Ghent, eleven years old, was
killed in Lancaster Monday while
cranking a Ford truck which was in
gear. The truck bounded forward
and knocked the lad against the rear
of a heavy truck, his neck being broken
by the impact. Death resulted <n
about fifteen minutes.
CAR STOLEN AND
RECOVERED SAME DAY
The big Cadalac sedan owned by
Dr. T. E. Wannamaker, Jr., of Cheraw
was stolen and recovered all in
one day.
During the ball game Tuesday
morning at Cheraw between Camden
and Wadesboro, the car was taken
from the ball grounds.
A short time later a friend of Dr.
Wannamaker, on entering Aberdeen
recognized the doctor's car and knowing
nothing of the theft, supposed Dr.
Wannamaker was driving. He attempted
to stop the car to speak to
his friend, whe nto his supise the
driver not only stopped, but jumped
from the car and fled.
