' . How Cotton ia Handled.
Ton thousand South Carolina fra
mers are now bringing In cotton to
the Cotton Growers' Co-operativo
Association. One hundred and fifty
tfiousnnd farmers in tho South oro
marketing cotton on tho saiAc co
operative system this year.
Unfriendly interests, chief among
whom aro tho gamblers and specu
lators who fattened on Gio farmer's
lack of marketing knowledge, will go
ao any length this season lo make
'weak kneed" members break their
contracts. Loyal members must al
ways bo on guard against such at
tempts and traco all disloyal talk
to its prpper source. All now cotton
belonging to members must bo de
livered to tho association, for tho
\ontracts must bo rigidly enforced
if tho association is to live up to Its
high Ideals. Any misinformed or dis
loyal member had better think sov
ertu times before he violates his legal
and binding contract which lies him
9; i th his fellow-farmers. Th reo far
mers who recently broke their con
tracts with tho Tobacco Growers'
Association aro soon to be hailed Into
court and their prosecution led by
nono other than Aaron Saplro, noted
co-oporatlvo marketing a'ttorncy, of
VfCalifornla. This moans that thoy will
got tho limit allowed by tho .law
"United wo stick; divided we're
stuck."
Cotton ls being rocoived In Oconoo
as follows:
In Westminster, by I. S. Pitts.
^ In Soncca at Nimmons' warehouse.
In Walhalla, at Pitchford's ware
house.
Tho cotton is weighed at thseo
points. Tho grower is givon two
wo! ghi certificates showing tho
j^iarks used on tho bales, eic.
If no money is to bo drawn on tho
association, tho growor acts as fol
lows (whero s tor od tn warohouso)
Koopa one woiglit sheet; attaches OJIO
'weight shoot- to warohouso receipt
and malls in to tho association at
Columbia. Grower1 must state to tho
tissoclntton that you DO NOT doslro
to cT 1 sv on tho association for money
Within thirty days or moro, and tho
association will send tho growor a
demand noto bearing six pt.r cont in
lorost. This noto tho association
gilvos will counterbalance tho inter
est that ls charged members, so that
the grower who docstnot borrow will
havo no Interest to pay.
In tho'other caso, whoro grower
does want, monoy advancod, ho koopa
ono weight certificate, attaches ono
j^olght certificate to warohouso re
celpt, or bill of lading ns tho caao
may bo, and attaches thoao to tho
nssoclatlon's draft, taking thom to
his bank for payment,
lt ls very Important that tho
growor MAIL to headquarters, With
i|out dolay, the original bill of lading
and weight shoot, In tho enso whoro
ho ships and whoro no money is
drawn on tho association. In this
caso, whoro thoro ls only a recolvlng
station,* lt ls vory Important that this
^bo dono, as tho cotton cannot bo un
"loaded from tho car without the bill
of lading, and thoro will be demur
rage to pay.

Members who desiro information
regarding tho association may call on

oporation of tho association.
lt should bo remembered that tho
association is big, and tho associa

some mistakes. However, it should
be given ,1 chance to rectify mistakes
before being censured.

to rejoice when several of their chll
children and a large number of their
special friends drove Into tho yard
with baskets filled with all kinds of
good things to oat. This being Mr.

ing of him. The children present
were W. J. Kolloy, W. B. Kelley, J.
M. Kelley, J. F. Kelley, Martin Kel-,
ley, Mrs. J. E. Rogers and their fam
ilies. Tho exact number of friends
could not woll bo determined, but
tho best that wo could number there
wero ?lxty In all, most of thom re
momboring Mr. Kolley' with a use
ful prosont. Tho morning was spent
in old-time, hoart-folt conversation,
carrying our minds back to the days
of long ago, when mon had timo to
enjoy tho ronl plcasuros that are duo
to go with lifo,- when thoy would sit
by the opon fireplaces of their neigh
bors, telling onch other tho stories of
tholr .childhood experiences.
At tho dinner hour a long, old
time plank table that had hoon built
under tho shade of the grove was
mado to groan beneath its burdon of
good things lo eat.
A flor tho dinner hour tho order of
tho day was changed. Rev. L. M.
Lyda was asked to make a talk, and
ho mado somo very appropriate re
marks on tho subject of fainlly re
unions. After tho good address by
Bro. Lyda, tho pastor of Mr. Kelley,
Rov. M. J. Stnnsoll, led In prayer,
aftor which ho road tho first vorso
of tho second chapter of St. Mark,
thon spoko for a little while of tho
Importance of Jesus hoing In tho
homo. At tho conclusion of his talk
ho asked .Bro. Lyda to close this part
of tho sorvico with prayer.
It was then suggested that wo
fchow our love by a gift In cash, and
Bro. Lyda carried tho hat around.
This gift amounted to a little more
than twonty dollars.
Wo all loft knowing that family
reunions will soon bo over hore, but
wo hope thon to bo in ono eternal re

to help her friends and loved onos.

true wife, the children a devoted,

for her hu Mb. ad, children nnd her
friends. . ... . .'

gain. She -aid a fow days beforo
her demi I.bat Bite was "ready to

Paul sai ;. 1 am now ready to bo
offered.' 'J bank God for thoso who
are ready to moot the Judge of hea
ven-and earth,
Two hands upon the breast,
And labors dono;
Two pale feet crossed in rest
Tho race is won.
Rest for the toiling hands,
Rest for tho ?nxious brow,
Rest for the weary way-worn feet,
Rest from all labor now.
The mother's love-there's nono so
pure,
So constant and so kind;
No human passion doth enduro
Like this within tho mind.
