' ' V " * A pall of sadness was cast over Chesterfield last Sunday when it became known that Mr. W. H. Poiter f had passed away. He had suffered a J stroke of appoplexy Thursday morn- j ins and his condition remained grave \ until the end came at 10 o'clock Sat- t urday night. e Funeral services were conducted t by the Rev. L. E. Peeler and the body 1 was laid to rest in the Chesterfield 4 c Cemetery Monday afternoon, where ^ a large concourse of people gathered t to show their love and esteem for t their friend and neighbor. t Mr. Porter was forty-two yeats of age and is survived by his wife, two 1 sons, Eugene and Rufus and one 1 daughter, Miss Elizabeth; four sis- 1 ters, Mrs. Henry Gibson, of Mt. c Croghan; Mrs. F. W. Turner, Mrs. f Curtis Mangum and Miss Josio Porter c of Pageland; two brothers, Charlie t Porter, of Pageland and E. E. Porter, i of Chesterfield. c Mr. Porter came to Chesterfield e from Pageland about seventeen years v ago. He was a successful live-stocK dealer and built up a fine business. He c ^ became known far and wide as gen- 1 erous, big-hearted and a lover of i children. It falls to the lot of few 1 men to have as many devoted friends f as had Mr. Will Porter. c The profoundest sympathy is felt } for his widow and children in their i bereavement. t a K. C. JOHNSON TO PROFIT i BY EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS ? Mr. K. C. Johnson, of Middendorf, < called at The Advertiser oflice oil Tuesday, and as is usual of late, the 1 conversation turned to the boll weevil. Mr. Johnson said his section and his farm in particular, felt the weevil ^ last year ( When asked what he was going to do about it this year he replied that he was doing his best to profit by the ^ experience of cotton growers who . have been fighting the wevil for svral years and are succeeding. He said ^ this year he is planting about eight acres of cotton to the plow. That he ^ planned to fertilize it heavily, using ^ soda liberally and by other intensive methods hoped to get a fair crop of ^ cotton before the boll weevil got busy. Mr. Johnson is the first farmer we | have talked, to on the subpject who already had his mind made up. Mr. ^ Johnson is not planning any costly new experiments and he is not fool- j ing himself that the boll weevil is not j ^ a serious proposition. The method he speaks of has made farmers in boll ^ weevil infested sections wealthy in ^ spite of the pest, it is the mcthou that will win out here also. ^ This paper would like to hear from others who are really planning along ^ similar lines.

IV1 AKNt 1 1INU IS SURE TO COME Columbia, Mar. 1.?Farmers of South Carolina are going to sell their LD22 crop of cotton co-operatively, t'he tremendous enthusiasm with vhich the campaign for signatures to he contract is being pushed in almost very county in the state indicates hat the 40U,000 bales must be signid by May 7. 1U22 to make the conract operative will be easily forth:oming. In only a very few of the :ounties has there been any delay in he campaign and these counties are ixpected to be in line within the next ,en days. The contracts are beimr Riirn^il arge and small farmers alike. The argest contract received at the ofices of the South Carolina Cotton Coiperative Association here to date is or 3,000 bales. The smallest is lor ne bale. Incidentally it might be said hat several of the latter have been eceivcd. Those who are pushing the ampaign say that the benelits derived by the large and the small farmer vill be the same in proportion. ( The bankers and business intertsts of the state are lining up strong. y behind the movement. They take he position that it offers the greatest iope for future prosperity for the armor and it has been pretty tlior ughly demonstrated in the past two rears that the prosperity of the state s dependent upon the prosperity of he farmers. Many of the largest and ibiest bankers in the state have studi d the plan from every angle and uive investigated the workings of the issociutions already functioning in rther states. They express complete j lUtisfaction with the plan in its every ] letail and are working to put the! novemnt across. j in Sumter county the bankers have fone out in the county making peeches in behalf of the campaign. J. C. Rowland, president of the Natonai Bank of Sumter, thinks that >very bank in the state should get >usy and assist in every way to put t across. J. l'ope Matthews, president >f the Rulmecto National Bunk of Coumbia, says that he thinks the organization of the association "is one if the best business propositions the armors of the slate should undterake it this time" and adds, "I do not mow of anything that would be more iroductive of good results." Mr. Mathews has studied the plan from every ingle. Bright Williamson, of Darlingon, is another banker, who is lend ng lxis time and ability and energies I o putting the movement across. Mr. rViilianison probably knows as much ibout co-operative marketing as uny nan in South Carolina and he is con'inced that it is the farmers' hope. The movement has been endorsed >y the executive council and the agriuliural committee of the Soutn Caroina Bunkers' Association and four ?f the seven district groups. It has >een strongly endorsed twice by the General Assembly and many of the eading farmers in that body have al- J eady signed contracts. It has been indorsed by the State Fair Society ind many chambers of commerce and ither civic organizations.

In a statement given out by the association, it says: "Farmers everywhere are organizing to conduct their marketing busi- < ness in a systematic manner on the s:ime plan as is being followed by the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative Association. "At the present time more than sixty asociations of growers in 20 I states have been formed or are now being organized. The number of members in these associations exceds 400,000 farmers and the volume of business done by them in 11)21 lacked only ( a little of being half a billion dollars. 1 "Through the cooperative pooling \ mnvomonf fnvmni?o * * * . vh?v>*v xMiiuvio 111 cvci'jf auv;tiuu ^ of the country are taking their rightful place in the business world. ''The South Carolina cotton pool ( plan enables the farmer to go all the ( way to the market with his product, and in this trip save a vast sum that ( heretofore has been lost to him thru speculative profits and unnecessary ' handling cost. t "'J hat the South Carolina cotton j pool plan is sound and workable is ^ being proved in a conclusive manner ^ by everyone of these coperative associations, which has begun to handle- 1 the crop. There are three outstanding 1 features of every one of these or- ( ganizations. "First; long-time, legally-binding contract. This makes the member. ( "stick" and assures the association 1 that it will have cotton to sell over * period of years suilicicnt to enable it to establish satisfactory trade relations and justify adequate arrange- 1 ments for transacting the business. 1 "Second; tiie one hundred per <: a: 1 compulsory pool. In the pool all th ( product is handled for sale in even-1 running lots according to quality and j variety. All growers delivering the | same kind of cotton receive exactly! the same price. Every member receives the average price at which the i product of that kind and quality io sold. This makes possible orderly marketing throughout the year in accordance with market demands. [ "Third, the non-profit, non-mock feature and the exclusive grower membership. This insures a complete harmony of interest, absolute fairness and equality in the handling of the business of each member, and it is a guarantee against outside inter- ests ever gaining control of the organization and exploiting it for their 1 own gain. ' "'ihat the South Carolina cotton pool plan is sound from a financial standpoint is clearly proved by the fact J I that the bankers are dnini* hiK-dii...-j 1 j wu.ii tiit'bv, ub.^ucialiv/uo vviicrcvoT liioy are in operation.
