Spartanburg, Dillon and Barion counties are running close to Darlington in the number of bales signed. The continued growth of the sentiment for cooperative marketing is reported from every section of the state, it was declared this morning. Alfred Scarborough, member of the oganization committee, returning from a trip to Greenwood and McCormick counties reported the people in those counties in a very favorable attitude toward the pltn. The bankers of both counties look with strong favor upon it and Mr. Scarborough said he exDected little troilhle in aiirn inn. tVin I necesary number of bales in those two covmties. Harry G. Kaminer, president said this morning that the association felt confident over the outcome of the campaign. The people of the state are becoming more and more convinced that it is absolutely necesasry to do something, he said, and the cooperative .marketing of cotton, their principal crop, seems to be the first important step to take. "We are offering the farmers something practical and something that leads to a definite goal," said President Kaminer, "It is a simon pure business proposition and I am delighted to see that they are realizing this."

COUNTY FAIR SEE IT^ 9TH SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION ? The ninth annual exl^bition of the Chesterfield County Fair was in sev# eral respects, a notable one. Thc attendance was good, though it has been larger. The best day this year was Thursday, when.it was estimated there were ten thousand people on the grorunds. Exhibits in every^epartmefnt were fine and show improvement over those previously exhibited. ii is doubtful if any other section in the United States can show as great variety of farm products an are shown every year at the Chesterfield County Fair. The poultry exhibits here were especially good. There was a larger and higher grade display of. Rhode Island Reds at this exhibition than was shown at the recent State Fair in CoThe judge declared it was the fiest he had seen in many a day. As an illustration of the character Of the birds shown here it may be stated that some Reds that took priz?ft in Columbia were not in the running here. The list of the winners will he published | when received. i The Home Demonstration Clubs, under the direction of Miss Haynie, had a remarkably fine exhibit of canned fruits and vegetables, bread and cake baking, sewing etc., and a fine display of fresh vegetables. The work of these young ladies is ' undoubtedly of exceptional worth as 1 evidenced by their success in competition with other clubs. At the State Fair Chesterfield County won more prizes than any other club in ' the state. In a contest for premiership in its own district Chesterfield 1 county won in the Pee Dee District, 1 Miss W1J0 Rivers winding, the $^\) ?>) ' district j.rize and the honor of taking her exhibit to the State Fair, where 1 she gave exhibition in IIo:nc Dem- ( onsirauon work. These young ladi-.s had about seventy chickens on dis- * play in the poultry department at this ' Fair. 1 The amusement provided for the young people by the carnival com- ' pany seems to have been very satis- 1 factory. Economy was the keynote'In preparation for this fair and while this * exhibition was put on at a compara- . tively small cost, it was, nevertheless, 1 a very successful Fair. , i JEFFERSON Miss Sarah Seegars of Charlotte, N.

I GORDON?WHITE Pine Grove Baptist Church was the scene of a very lovely wedding on the afternoon of November 12, when Miss Eunice White, the youngest daughter ( of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. White, were united in holy wedlock by Rev. B. S. j Fuderburg. ine cnurcn was tastefully archedj and decorated, the color scheme be- ( ing green and pink with a background of white. The altar and piano were lovely in its setting of chrysanthemums. Long before the appointed time the church was filled to overflowing with relatives and friends of the young couple. Miss Pauline Parker of Cheraw, rendered two charming solos, "Oh Promise Me" and "At Dawn" assisted on the piano by Miss Margaret Griggs of Chesterfield. Upon the completion of these solos the stiflness was broken by the beginning of Lohengrin's wedding march. First came the ushers, Mr. Charles White, brother of the bride and Mr. J. L. McCown, who lighted the tastefully arranged candles by whose sparkling glow the ceremony was performed. Next came th0 ribbon bearers, Miss Irene Moore and Master George Gordon, Mis? Madge White and Master Spurgeon Rivers. Then the bridesmaaids and groomsmen, Miss Ethel White with Mr. Earl Teal, Miss Ida Teal with Mr. Wayne McBride, Miss Lucie Teal with Mr. John Teal entered nnd took their places on the chancel. Mrs. Minnie Rivers, sister of the bride was dame of honor and littleMaster Frank King was ring bearer. Jusfbefore the bridal couple came two wee flower girls, little Misses Julia Mae King and Doris White, who strew the bridal pathway with flowers. Then came the bride handsomely idorned in a gown 0f white silk crepe^ le chine and carrying a eridal bouquet on the arm of her brother, Mr. Rae White. She was met at the altar by the groom, who was accompanied 5y Mr. Thurman White, best man. During the impressive ceremony Miss Griggs softly played "Mir.uette n G" on the piano. / Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Gordon left by train for ;heir new home in Ormond, Florida.

OPITIMISM IS EXPRESSED Washington, Nov. 19.?The first veek of the Washington conference >nded with optimistic views expressed ty several delegates, prominent imong them Premier Briand, of "'ranee, that soon the principles for he limitation of arms and the setlement of the Far Eastern question nay be definitely agreed upon by all. Prince Tokugawa, of Japan, added i note of caution, however, saying hat waiters must not be hurried and he delegates must not become im>atient, especially as "there is no loubt the conference will not last so ong as was originally thought." The opinion is gaining ground in iome delegates that other conferences nay follow the present dne on account of the new conditions which will arise especially in the Far East. "This," one prominent European statesman observed, "America hrough the noblc initiative of Presilent Harding and the courageous and far reaching program of Secretary Hughes, will become a solid bridge between Eastern and Western civilization, making them harmonious." Some delegates have suggested the convocation of an economic conference, as they maintain that the establishment of a-complete and lasting peace is not possible until the financial and economic equilibrium of the world is restored."

"UNITED STATES" | ARE MAGIC WORDS New York, Nov. 19.?One of the j most distinguished and expert travel- ) ers who have crossed the sea in many months returned, the other day, bringing with him news that throughout several nations and among millions of people the very word, "America" is magic, the very thought of American goods tempting* the desire to see Americans and to do business with this nation is very keen. Nor is this traveler, himself, American by birth. On the contrary he is if most distinguished Spanish lineage, Don I ouis tie Bourbon, aristocrat of iristoerats turned very ablc businessman. By birth he is a prince, by choice he has become a naturalized American citizen. He has the distinction of having been th0 first European royal irincc to seek American citizenship. "The word, 'America,' " said Don i,ouis within a few hours after his return, "is the open sesame to inter st and friendship everywhere I went, particularly among the smaller countries. Europe Admire America "Admiration is keener even than friendship. Europe turns to the United States with almost unbelieving admiration. This is the land of magic, of impossibilities accomplished of something more than wealth, of the world's greatest intelligence, in the opinion of tons of millions. "Furthermore' America is trusted, ?nd is the only nation in the world that is universally trusted. "I went abroad to study possibili'ies of trade with the United States, 'or I am full of the conviction that it :s the greatst country in the world I came back convinced that it is greater than all others, both for the I'casdn that America has no enemies and for the reason that America is vonwn to be the most progressive of all nations in mechanical development. It is recognized throughout the European world and in the Near East, oven that only mechanical devolopnent can save the world from a long )criod of hardship and perhaps tragedy after the great madness of the war."
