LOT cotton, oasis mlddlng, and pro-
portionate price (above and below,
for other commercial grades of cot
ton.
The plan for doing this covers,
hrst, organization in as many coun-
ties of the South as possible and it
is believed that this organization can
be made to cover the entire list of
the cotton counties; the organiza-
ton will consist Of thirty-five field
agents.
The duties of these agents will be,
first, to keep the general officers of
the Corporation we'll informed as to
the acreage, fertilization and condi-
ton of the cotton crop and such 9TH
er general information as would as
sist in making up data as to the prob
able yield of any particular crop.
Second, their duty will be to have as
many as possible of the cotton grow
ers in each county to commit them
selves to put their cotton in the
hands Of the Southern States Cotton
corporation for sale on and after
August, list, 1912.
In order to accomplish this, the
Corporation proposes to issue con-
tracts which will be known as "sell-
ing Certificates" to every cotton
grower for which he will pay $1.O0
per bale for all cotton he proposes
to sell through the Corporation. On
the other hand, the Corporation in
this Selling Certificate guarantees to
get Is cents per pound for middling
cotton for the purchaser of the Sell
ing Certificates This Is cents per
pound being payable as follows:
II cents in cash and the balance
(4cents) in per cent. interest-bear-
ing scrip.
It is necessary for the Corporation
to know as soon as possible how
much cotton it will have to dispose
of. SO it has arranged the Selling Ger
tificate to begin at $500 per bale for
all certificates bought between jan
uary LIST, and March list. and at in
tervals Of two months thereafter to
increase this charge one quarter of
dollar until September list, when it
reaches it's maximum of $500 per
bale.
This arrangement was not made
for the purpose of collecting more
money from the farmer for sale of
his cotton, but because the longer
the delay in putting the cotton in the
hands of the Corporation for sale,
the shorter time it will have for or
ganization and the greater expense
it would incur.
This Selling Certificate, or con-
tract, is used in order to determine
beforehand the amount Of cotton the
Corporation must be prepared to
handle. 1t was found, upon personal
investigation, that II cents was
about the average cost Of cotton.
This price of course, includes Ia
Dor and fertilization, also taxes and
interest on the investment, therefore.
II cents was used as basis for cash
payment of cotton and it was be-
1ieved that if the cotton grower
could get II cents per pound in cash
Cor it's equivalent), then he could
we'll afford to keep the surplus pro-
duced if it's value could be put in
the form of an interest bearing in
vestment. With this idea in view
the price of Is cents per pound has
been divided into two sums: First,
II cents per pound in cash or per
cent. interest bearing certificates, p
payable in ninety days after issu-
ance; Second, cents per pound in
6 per cent. interest bearing certifi-

Two.thirds of the number who took
the teachers examination at the high

have been granted certificates en-.

the results pleased Mrs. Elizabeth
Burgess, the county superintendent,
very much. She says the results are
gratifying and her suggestions to the
different applicants to study hard,
was apparently needed. AS might be

Gates were in the lead with twenty
four successful applicants while the
third grade certificates granted total
seventeen. These are somewhat bet

good for renewal after the first year
and are practically good for two years.
The first grade certificates were par

There were twelve out OF the twenty
two who applied that were successful
The total applicants for the examina-

New Lingerie
 Waists that are we'll worth SD e ciul mention

As the season advances lingerie waists gain in beauty and variety. That which was exquisite yesterday grows dim in comparison with the never ending accession of newer things.
 This waist department of ours IS one of constant activity and you will always find that which is new est here first.
 Tomorrow you will find:
 Waists made of fine quality ba- tiste, some with very simple but effective designs in embroidery in combination with dainty tueks Of narrow and. medium widths and in. sertions used in various ways. TheI. to the other extreme of elaboration will be found waists that are as beautiful as skill and fine materials can make them. Waists with fronts in beautifully embroidered gar land and scroll designs and in some tiny white beads that look like tiny French knots at first All have short sleeves and low Dutch neck. We can't begin to describe them In a way that will do them justice-you must see them to recognize their beauty and the really splendid values they are at the prices we hav0 marked them.
