SATURDAY, MARCH S, 1904.

The organization of Produce Ex-
change in Worcester county, Mary
land, along the same lines as the Elk
change on the Eastern Shore OF Vir-
einia, will soon be contaminated by
the adoption of by laws to govern
same and the election of President
and other officers. That the move
ment Of our neighbors Is one in the
right direction, Of course we believe
but it is to be regretted, that both OF
the Exchanges cannot be run under
the same management, because OF
their identical interests and the
necessity of avoiding any conflict
between them in the way OF hand
ling their produce and in the meth
DDS of disposing of it in the markets
OF the country. The success OF our
Exchange, in a word, being due 10
the grading of our produce, In per
uniting the manager of the same to
fix the price daily for all shippers
and in leaving to him the selection
of the markets to which the produce
js to be sent, can there be the same
efficiency in these respects with two
managers as with oneY If, however
they are to be run under a different
MANAGEMENT, then to avoid the riss
of underbidding between the two
mans gers and thereby putting the
produce up to the lowest instead o!
the highest bidder, we suggest
union so close between the two or
carnations that neither can act with
out the other when shipments OF llS'
products are being sent to market
To that end, we submit, that join
conference of the directors Of the tw'
Exchanges frequently and daily in
terchapgeof views between the man
ayers, by phone or otherwise, seem
to be necessary during the busy sea
son. Each can help the other and tn
efficiency of neither must be impair
ed by the failure to take q bushes
view of the situation and acting &C
:ordingly.

Attorney. General Anderson, OF

terrain the motion, saying that the

merits. The suits involve the suffrage
clause of the new Constitution OF V1r-

SMITHS, May 2:-Mr James Nc
Clarv, from near kingstree, visited
relatives in this community Sunday.
Cotton planting is keeping our
farmers busy. | notice correspon-
dents from certain sections report an
increased acreage Of the "heecy sta
ple", but am glad to say that no
such conditions obtain around here
If anything, the cotton acreage will
be diminished this year and more
attention given to truck and tobacco
and other money crops. If the
farmers were assured of getting Il
or Is cents Il pound for their cotton
they might well afford to plant the
earth in cotton, but take care lest
the prevailing high price be but a
bait to lure the farmers to over pro-
duction so as to play into the hands
of spectators, thus repeating the
exrerience of tobacco growers last
wear. 1t would be We'll TO give
pause and consider this question be-
fore rushing headlong into planting
so much cotton that it must result
in over production, and | hope that
these reports of SO much cotton be-
ing planted are exaggelatiye of the
the true condition. 1t may that Il
lot of fertilizer is being used, but
this is to be applied to other crops
besides cotton.
The devil always has some one to
work for him, it seems, and often
for very small wages. The other
night Mr. Bingle Coker and his
brother, n J Coker, went fishing at
point on Black river called the
"black hole. They left their cart
under shelter in field near the
river swamp. Fortunately they took
the horse with them to the landing.
When they came out about l O'Clock
at night and started home one OF
the cart wheels gave way and both
the occupants were thrown from the
cart and severely hurt. 1t will be
remembered that Mr. Bingle Coker
got his right arm cut by a gin saw
some time ago so badly that it had to
be amputated and the wound was
not fully healed. He fell on that
side and hurt his arm again, causing
him much, pain and suffering. If
