Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer addressed an au. dience of about 200 representative cotton growers at the Courthouse last Saturday afternoon. He spoke on the marketing of cotton and in behaif the Co-operative Marketing Association. He began his address by a clear explanation of the difference between "dumninur" nnH "mpr/'TinnHiainnr" ton. Dumping cotton he described as the present-day method of every farmer acting by himself and for himself, hauling his cotton, the product of his yearg labor, to the market, knowing nothing of its quality and grade afld meekly taking whatever is offered him. By "merchandising" cotton, he meant the orderly marketing of the crop through the farmers own representatives, who graded and classified the whole crop and then was in position to tell the manufacturer what he will have to pay for the same. His comparison between the farmer's methods of selling his products and the organized laborer's method was striking. The unorganized farmer, he said, is now receiving 15 per cent, more for his product than before war. The union laborer is getting 90 per ?*ent. more for his labor than he did before the war. The labor union is nothing but a co-operative organization for the selling of labor. Is the farmers dumping method paying? he asked. In 1881 one out of every Sour farmers was a tenant. Today two out of every five are tenants. Showing not progress but p. constant loss. iiurL. > ?.! ? -!J v no inwK.cs (umseii a worm, saici he, "must not complain if he is trodden on." In conclusion he told of the prosperity that has come in every instance where farmers have formed proper co-operative associations for the selling of their product. r-.,, The campaign is still on for the signing of contracts. Committees have been appointed who are at work,with the hope of making South Carolim the strongest co-operative cotton state in the union. WEXFORD Mr. J. A.

Croghan was broken into last Thursday morning at 2 o'clock and $150.00 in small change taken together with about $500 in War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Access to the building was gained by the front door. The lock to the vault, it seems, was in bad repair and I was easily upmiea. The burglar did not succeed in opening the safe. He had taken the precaution to cut the telephone wires between Mt. Croghan and Pageland. Officers believe they trailed the thief to ten miles above Monroe, where all definite track of him was lost. A large bundle of papers, including notes, mortgages, etc., that could be of no value to a thief were found near the road going into Monroe. It is believed the trail was again picked up beyond Monroe, where a strange man drove into the woods about daylight Thurs. morning and proceed to take a nap. He was watched by a local citizen, who saw him later and oil a large pistol that fit the description of one of the two revolvers taken from the bank. This citizen described the stranger's actions as suspicious and 'phoned the police of Monroe to that effect. Sheriff Grant arrived on the scene soon after the bird had flown. IN MEMORY OF MRS.

SOUTH CAROLINA ASS'N TO 11 A BE LARGEST IN BELT Columbia, Aug. 16.?Many mem- ^ro bers of the South Carolina Cotton Growers Association have signified1 two Car their intention of selling their old cotton through the association, and are ready to turn it over to the as- catr of c sociaion the day the association is ready to receive it, officials of the association announced. Delivery of cotton grown prior to 1922 is optional Che with the members, but scores of them the have written that they wish the asso- gou ciation to handle it for them. 44 Full instructions to the membership nf - *Ue ? .... uuouviaiiuit icguruing me delivery of their cotton will 50 for- qui< ward very shortly, it is announced, the Every member will be told where to poli deliver his cotton, receive his allow- fat ance, etc. These instructions will be WG8 sent out by the field service department. ^ ore< The headquarters of the associa- mu( tion present a busy scene these days, stai a large force b- lg at work day and lool night completing the preparations for too. handling the cotton of the associa- and tion's members. The association is Peo! now established in its new headquar- >neters, 1425 Main street, which has been designated as "Cotton Co-op- plaj erative Building." The office force is blac rapidly being organized. affe Officials of the association said that pa^ every mail not only brought assurances of the strongest support and peo' loyalty from members, but brought in many new contracts. Complete satis- a*" 1 faction with the progress of the new campaign is expressed and officials be- 5 lieve that the association will begin its year with the largest sign-up of stat any association in the belt. The as- af?al TTooi sociation is already assured of more money than it will need for financing yeai the crop, it was said by officials. . e Money in abundance and at good nfu terms has been offered it by the win^ South Carolina banks, the War Fil a^?' nance corporation and by banking institu^ons in other sections of the country. The financial problem was f^te one of the easiest to solve, it was said. ^ "] None of the statewide cotton cooperative assocations have experienc' ed any difficulty in arrainging for at t money this fall. The War Finance cor- gonv poration has approved advances ag gregating $60,000,000 to them, and | all of them have been flooded with offers of money from other sources. Ofticials of the association point to ajjje this as proof of the fact that in financial circles the cooperative mar- g( keting idea is looked upon with the ^ greatest favor as being fundamentally sound. nin~?- seve BIRTHS He Born: To Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R.| an(j Johnson, August 9, a girl. ^illi To Mr. and Mrs. F.

They are spending a few s of the week's recess in the state ipaign in Spartanburg resting and, ourse, campaigning a bit. The genlen are Thomas G. McLeod, of lopville, and George K. Laney, of sterfield. In all probability one or other will be next governor of th Carolina. The gentlemen, who are our sts today, are tentperamentally ;e different. This is' apparent at first glance.

The signing of the contract will actually end the soft coal strike in the coal field. All details of the agreement were accepted in priciple by both miners and operators, and the actual draft of the contract was left to a subcommittees, which ontinued its work into the night. The actual signing of the contract, President John L. Lewis of the miners said, is expected to follow a meeting tomororw of the unions' policy committee. As a result of the progress made tonight by operators and miners, Gov. Harry L. Davis, of Ohio, an nounced he would call off the conference of governors of five coal producing states that was to have met here to consider the strike situaion. He also announced he would withdraw Ohio militiamen, who were sent into the coal fields recently. The new plan of settlement is a fundamental change in the policy of the United Mine Workers of America, and for that reason the union policy committee of 128 members was called to meet tomorrow to pass on it. No exact estimate of the number of miners who will be put back to work under the settlement was obtained, but varied between 60,000 and 75,000 men. Altogether, there are 560,000 soft coal miners on strike, union officials said. It is expected by them that the other operators will accept the settlement, ffected here, but meanwhile the strike will continue at their mines. BANK OF CHESTERFIELD TAKES EXTRA BURGLAR PRECAUTIONS The Bank of Chesterfield yesterday installed a new burglar proof lock on their safe and vault, thus giving additional protection to their depositors. When one of the locks was. in'place The Advertiser man was called in to see it. It'? simplicity and~\l!l(fS(?lionable effectiveness were most impressive. This is a device that comes into play only when the main lock is tampered with. Its location in the safe or vault door cannot be discovered by the safe blower. A placard hanging over the door thus protected stating that the door is fitted with an "Anakin" lock is thought to be sufficient to send the would-be burglar on to easier pastures. Latta To Sell Municipal Power Plant Latta, Aug. 14.?The town of Latta held an election Monday, August 14, to decide the quetsion of selling the municipally owned light plant to the Palmetto Power & Light company and the vote was totally in favor of selling the plant to the power company, the vote being 76 to 0 in favor of selling. She Agreed With Him It was Johnson's humor to be antiScottish. He objected theoretically to haggis, though he ate a good plateful of it. "What do you think o' the haggis?" asked the hospitable old lady at whose table he was dining, seeing that he partook so plentifully of it. "Humph!" he replied with his mouth full, "it's very good for hogs!" "Then let me help you to some mair o' 't," said the lady, helping him bountifully.

While here yesterday he made an eniracemont to sneak at Whitney on the night 0f August 25th, which will be the date of the state campaign meeting in Spartanburg and the last one to be held. Laney At Newberry "The State" has this to say of Senator Laney's speech at Newberry Monday: Setate Senator George K. Laney of Chesterfield made a clear analysis of the program for tax reform in the state as begun by the last general assembly when the levy for state purposes was reduced from'12 mills to 7 mills by the state income tax, the in heritance tax, the gasoline tax and he increased corporation license taxes. He pointed out that the program was to be expanded by the passage of a water power tax measure and a luxury tax measure until the whole levy on real estate and personal property could be left to the county purposes, while the state levy could be raised from these indirect sources. He was listened to most attentively and argued urgently for this program to lift the burden of taxes from the bended back of farmers who are not touched by the income, inheritance or COUNTY CANDIE FIRE The Chesterfield County Political Campaign was openeding in earnest al Brock's Mill Wednesday.
