ROLLER SKATES
CAUSE A FIRE.

Henry, s. D., April 1.-The
small son of VIM. Johnston was
trying on a new pair Of roller
skates in the house Saturday
evening, when his feet slipped
out from under him. He clutched
at the cloth on a table nearby,
pulling it off and carrying with
it to the floor a lighted kerosene
lamp. The cover started to burn
and Mrs. Johnston attempted to
extinguish the flames. Instead
her clothes caught fire and,
screaming, she ran out into the
yard, where the wind famed the
burning clothes into a bright
fire. Neighbors coming quickly
rolled her on the ground so, that,
while she is seriously burned, 1t
is expected she will recover.

81 am glad to find that with your
president, Mr. Harris, and with the
approval of your members you have
planned to give an opportunity to
the chamber Of commerce, the bank
ers and business men of Columbia to
discuss with you the common cause
of cotton. 1t is only through cooper
Grafton of all classes that the realiza.
ton of the plans of the South can
be made possible.
"In my present project, which is
the fruit of many years of study and
labor in the interest of the greatest
staple the world has known and of
which America possesses the monop-

of cotton and through them to all
interests touched by cotton in its an-

the consuming millions. And it is
because worked along lines of mod
ern cooperation that success at last,
after msp'-~rs of struggle in the
Sout issltudes in all de-
part II. which cotton is the
controlling factor, has come to us.
81 am glad to say to the State
Farmers Union of South Carolina,
and to all the South, that these
gatherings which have been held for
the purpose of bettering the condl-
tions primarily of the growers of
cotton, and through them of all in
terests which cotton serves, ,are at this

further progress of civilization would
be impossible. 1t is known as result
of serious experiment on the part OF
our European rivals that the South
alone of all the regions on the earth
can produce cotton in the quantities
and Qualities needed by mankind.
With this marvellous asset with
which no other commodity compares,
the South should be, and | am glad
to say will be in the near future, the
controlling factor in the commercial
and industrial world. These gather
