associations of four States?Missippi,
Oklahoma, Texas and Arizona?
as the first members, the American
Cotton Growers Exchange, which is
expected to include in its membership
the cotton marketing associations of
the thirteen cotton producing states
was organized at Memphis August 1
at a conferenco of growers nt which
almost all the Southern Stites were
represented. Under the plan of organization
adopted, the exchange will
be governed by a board of trustees
elected by the State associations on
' the basis of one from each state at
large, and one additional lor ench
250,000 bales of cotton represented.
It is probable that the staple growers
will be given a trustee for each 100,000
bales pledged.
Federal officials claimed to have
evidence of rum-running conspiracy

season have surpassed all previous
records. According to figures compilWOTbf'tturVoTOkerti
Railway System
from official sources. 9,264 cars of
peaches have been shipped from Georgia
up to July 22 and the crop is expected

The condition of the cotton crop on
August 1 is placed at 62 per cent. r
by the American Cotton association. .<j
The association estimates the reduction
in the use of nitrate of soda, h
which it says <4is necessary during 1
the fruiting stage in the South At- i
lantic states" as 90 per cent. This, '
the report says, "added to the drns- j
tic reduction in fertilizer, the poor ?
quality of fertilizer used and the 0
ravages of the boll weevil which will r
be the greatest in history, spells the a
certainty of the greatest deteriora- ^
tion in August ever recorded." f
The boll weevil played havoc with o
the South's cotton crop during July.
Heavy rainfall aided in the destruction
by promoting. rank growth
of weeds and grass, and as a result r
a prospective producton of 8,203,000> f
bales was forecast by the department n
of agriculture, .basing its estimate on ^
conditions existing July 25. That is
a los sof 230,000 bales compared with
the production forecast a month ago. tl
The crop declined 4.5 points during r
the month, much more than the aver- c
age decline, bringing the condition ^
to 64.7 per cent, of normal, the lowest
July 25 condition on record with ^
one exception, that of 1886, when it w
was 64.1. Unpromising is the present tl
condition of the crop throughout most
of the West and there is a very se- e
rious threat, the department expert j
^ays, of continued and increased a
damage from the boll weevil whiluo 0
grass and weeds are exhnusting much tl
of the crop that remains. 8i

STEVENSON FAVORS BONUS
York, July 31.?"There's 'another
eason why I am in favor of a bonus
or soldiers that I did not mention in
iy speech at the Filbert picnic," said
Congressman W. F.'-Stevenson in an
nterview with the reporter. That's
his: The administration, is getting
eady to pay contractors over the
ountry the sum of about $3,000,000,00
because of contracts which they
ad for war munitions and armament
rhen the armistice came and which
hey did not therefore fill.
"That program is going to be pushd
through by the Republicans in edition
to the millions that they haveIready
given the railroads and the
ther millions of indebtedness that
hey are going to cancel them and
till other millions that they are goig
to give them.
"Now here they are going to pay
hese millions and billions to the railoads
and contractors and yet they
ay that the country is right now too
oor to pay the fellows who did the
ghtirtg ati'd many of whoin were
mimed and disabled. It in not fair
mi it is only simple justice that the
Vorld War men get^ something, I rceat
as I said at Filbert that while
: may cost us all something to pay
he bonus, I am going to do all in
ly power to keep up the fight and ?
m quite confident that I can uminain
my position on the matter anywhere.
"There, is no chance for the soldier
onus to be passed by this Congress,"
Ir. Stevenson concluded, "becaue the
'resident has already had it pigenoled.
But another day is coming."

FILBERT PICttK?
i PROVED A FIZZLE
' V '
t , . - * '
York, July 810.?Gone was the fire
and fireworks of bygone days at Fil
bert at the picnic last Thursday aa
I compared with even four years Agd.
' There was no pep;- there were |ew
| yelps; there was no-shouting; tkfcre
was no chorus of VHurrah for dole
Blease; you tell 'em .Colie."
What few huxzaa thero were ihe
ex-Governor got them, but they were
mighty few. The old-time Blease hot
I stuff wasn't very much in evidencain
his speech. He has spoken an htfvr
and a half at Filbert many a tiifce.
His speech was of thirty minutes duration
last Thursday, He didn't wear
a red tie. Maybe that is why some of
his friends didn't see red and r'ar.
, He lambasted Messrs. Christensen,
Smith and Dial, but there was not 'as
.much lambast in the lambasting 'as
has been his wont on picnic days
gone by.
He took no hand primaries, as is his
OnafAm nr?^ n? JU ?a Will
vww?wui| uiiu aa lie UlU ttl X* UU61T IOQT
years ago, when he asked all opposed
to entry into war to raise hands, and
all in favor of it to do likewise.
He did not state that he had no
apologies to make for his speech four
years ago, almost at the same spot
where he spoke last Thursday, lie
asked if what he said hadn't come
tme.
Several replied "yes."
But there wasn't a great deal of *'I
told you so" in his speech. It appeared
that Mr. Blease himself wasn't
much interested in speaking at Filbert.
He gave his hearers to understand
that he hardly expected to be a candidate
for office again, and the moat
lire he developed was when he told
his followers to look out for a young
leader to take his place, "because I
am too old."
Really the Filbert picnic this year
was a fizzle. The committee on entertainment
hadn't even provided a seat
on the sand for the ex-G?vprnor and
for Congressman Stevenson and the
Hon. C. T. Graydon of Columbia, who
introduced the speakers. There wasn't
even a small pitcher of ice water or
well water there.
The News and Courier correspondent
had to make arrangements wtfh
the Tirzah man who was beating tfta "
big bass drum to borrow his drum
that it might serve as a sort of table
on which he might write. He contemnlfttpH
sinina> nn *V ? J
m ? ? ?..6 v?i ?uv iivva niiu mr
drum between his legs. But Cal.
Clark, rural letter carrier here, seeing
his predicament, walked a halfmile
and borrowed a dinky little table,
which served. So the owner of
the big bass drum didn't have to worry
about the prospect of the head of
his instrument being mashed in.
The crowd got away early. It
seemed that they were glad to get
away, and lots of them wondered
what they went for anyhow.
There may be a Filbert picnic next
summer, but some people think that
Filbert picnics are now a par; of the
political history of the State and that
there will never be another ?Charleston

SAVED BY SHRILL VOICE
Spray Falls, Alberta, July 30.?Mrs. 5
W. E. Stone, resting in an improvised !
camp on Mount Eanon, described today
how the shrill sound of her vonce, caught
up by the multitude of peaks '
and crags and re-echoing, saved her
life after her husband, president of
Purdue University, of Lafayette, Ind-,
had perished in climb'rg the mountain
and after she had lain eight day.;
on a perilous ledge. A searching par- '
ty had figured out the probable 1
course that Dr. and Mrs. Stone would 1
take in the attempt to ascend Mount | '
Eanon. From a point of vantage the
searchers had scoured every side with
their glasses without a sight of any- !
thing. Then, as they decided to 90 on,
one member of the party thought he
heard the cry of a woman from afar.
Listening intently, the searchers
heard it again. A more minute inspection
with their glasses revealed
far below and across the canyon the
from it from cliff to cliff and on down 1
Mrs. Stone was rescued. At different
periods she had raised her voice with 1
all the vigor she had* expecting that
some time it might be heard and she
would he rescued.
Dr. Stone was within five minutes
climb of the top of the hitherto unsealed
mountain, the goal which he
and his wife had set, when his own
death occumd. 1
The accident happened on July 16. J
Mr. and Mrs. Stone expected to make J
the climb, rest at the top, and then
get back to tho food cache (hat night.
Dr. Stone was climbing above,
hopefully, cheerfully andl unhesitantingly,
when, without a word of warning,
a farewell of any kind, not even ,
a sign, he plunged over her head to
the abyss below. He fell fully 6,000
feet in the opinion of his wife. She
saw the body strike a rock, bound
frmo it from cliff to cliff and on down
the* side of the mountain. She began
a hasty descent in an effort to get to
her husband. She fought her way
down the side of the mountain and {
when found was 3,000 feet below the
point where Dr. Stone had fallen.
How Mrs. Stone became marooned
on a ledge of rock she doe* not know
herself.

After co-operative marketing committeemen
had met last week contracts
