Cooperative Marketing.

For some time the leading agricu!-
cultural papers have been advocating
cooperative buying and selling among
farmers. For instance, in the matter
of purchasing commercial fertilizers,
tn ese journals have advised farmers to
combine their orders and purchase from
the factories in large quantities, elimi-
mating the profit of the middle-man.
These same papers are urging farmers
to likewise combine their products
wh en- offering them for sale and in
that way commando a higher price than
can possibly be realized by the small
or Individual farmer selling sepa-
ra:ely.
A very striking example Of co-ope-
rative sc ling was the sale of a large
quantity of cotton last week that had
been stored in the warehouse at Barn
we'll last October. Having decided to
sell, the farmers who were thus pool
ing their interests advertised abroad
that they would offer for sale so many
hundred bales of cotton on certain
day and, besides the local buyers, there
were number,from other and larger
markets. The result was, the holders
of this cotton received more than l3
cent for the lot. All of them were
thoroughly satisfied with the sale, and
are thoroughly convinced of tho wis
dom cooperative selling.

Comes Again Stronger and Stronger. -

Comes Again Stronger and Stronger"
Petitions are being circulatedin sew
eral count ties looking to the holding OF
an election on re-establishing the dis
pensary. Anderson is among the coun-
ties where the agitation is on. The
matter was undertaken. in this county
about three years ego and the atteHIt
to even get the required number of
names to the petitions was miserable
failure And we confidently believe
that it will always be SO in Edge
field county.
In commenting upon the situation in
Anderson, the Daily Mail had this to
say among other things few days
ago:
1--WE do not think there is any doubt
whatever as to the result of such an
election, and the sooner the matter is
thrashed out and settled the better.
1.-The prohibition question is stronger
today than it has ever been before,
despite what may be said to the contra
ry. 1t receives backsets now and
then, as in South Carolina today, but
it comes again and stronger each time
than before. 1t is the case all over the
country, and is one of those reforms
that cannot be headed off. Some years
ago prohibition was espoused chiefly
by the preachers and women, but now
it has the. backing Of the business
world, and that is what has given it
real backbone.
The Mail is right in saying that, al
though temporarily defeated here and
there, prohibition comes again strong
er and stronger. 1t "is one of those
reforms that can not be headed off. )"

psstorate, DR.. Browne called upon
the lavmen to express themselves
on this centennial occasion, espe
ci,lly as Mr.. Hundlcy, one of their
former pastors, could not be present.
Responding to this request OF invi-
tation, Mr. L. V. Claxton arose and
spoke briefly Of the earl y church
and of it's removal from Bull Branch
to the pr, ,nt site. He also spoke Of
the erection Of the present building.
MIR. Henry Jackson, the senior
deacon, said he could recollect when
Phillppi was called upon to make
contribution to missions, the money
to be used in assisting the newly
founded Johnston church to pay its
pastor. He said the Johnston church,
while not so large in membership,
has now ontstripped Philippi, and
urged his brethren to do more, un-
dertake greater things.
Mr.. J. G. Lewis expressed his
hearty approval of special celebra-
tions such as was held Sunday. They
increase the interest. zeal enthusiasm
Of people. He asked why was all
shis struggling and, laboring in the
past by DR.. Browne and the Philip
pi Christians, and answering his
own question, stated that it was FOR
the saving of immortal souls, for
the glorifying of God. He con-
mended the good people of Philippi
for what they have achieved sand
bade them God-speed in their
efforts to hold aloft the banner of
the cross.
Mr. George Scott, the representa-
tive or exponent of the young man
hood of the church, said he wanted
to thank DR.. Browne for what he
had done for him personally as
we'll as for the church. In two in
stances he was rebuked by his ssiut-
Iy pastor but it was done in kind.

THE CENTENNIAL FEAST.

Judging from the manner in
which they prepared for supplying
the physical needs of their
guests, the good people of
PhiIippi had great faith az to the
possible number who would be
present. As is the custom on such
occasions in Edgefeld county, all
of the baskets were placed upon
common table, and by common Ia
bio we mean one table TO which
everybody is IS welcome as if they
were dining in their own homes.
The long table could scarcely hold
all of the nice things they had been
provided by the good women Of
the church and community who
know how to dispense hospitality
as generously and cordially in puS
lie occasions as they do in their ovn'
homes. Certainly it has been q long
time since the 800 and moro people
who gathered about the Philippt
table witnessed or partook of sues
q royal feast. Everything that the
most fsstidious taste or appetite
could wish was tbare, not only in
great abundance but also beautiful
ly served.

AFTERNOON SERMON.
The singing of familiar songs
served as a call to gather in the
house for the afternoon service.
Miss Maggie Shaffer, graduate of
the S. @. G. /. who has many
friends in Edgefeld, presided at the
organ. Dr.. A. T. King, the pastor
of the church preached in the after
noon, selecting "A Christians Hope"
as theme. He spoke of the ground,
the conditions, the character, the
means and the final object of the
Christians hope.
At the close of his discourse DR..
King called attention to the un-
slightly condition of the baptistry
and the unsanitary conditions sur

under the hill, appointing the fol-
lowing committee to improve the
baptistry, drain the marsh and erect
new dressing rooms: H. w. Jack

The centennial celebration at
Philippi was an exceedingly pleas
ant occasion. The people of the
church and community proved
themselves to be charming hosts
and hostesses, causing those who
journeyed many miles to be present
to rejoice that the Tooth anniversa-
ry was thus celebrated.

WILSON HAS SIGNED
 ALASKAN R. Rs. BILT.
President Looks on it as let of Real Helpfulness to Far North
 Country.

Washington, March 13. President Wilson today extended what he term ed "the hand of real helpfulness and brotherhood to Alaska" when he sign ed the bill authorizing the expendi- ture of 35,000,00o for the first gov ernment owned railroad constructed by the United States.
 Secretary Lane, a group of senators and representatives and members of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce stood beside the president as he fixed his signature to the act.
 The president was ill a happy mood and in laying one souvenir pen aside to use another, smilingly remarked:
 "I'll change engin.es'
 When the bill had been signed the president made a brief speech.
 q want to say" said the president "how sincere my gratfication is in the completion of this measure and it's successful passage. l feel that we have at last reached out the hand of real helpfulness and brotherhood to Alaska, which will now link it to us by many bonds thsf will be valuable to both sides. This is consumma ton that I have been hoping might arrive in my administration and that it has come so soon is to me very delightful"
 Secretary Lane immediately after ward had a long talk with the presi- dent about the selection of engineers for the task. Though Colonel Goe- thals had been mentioned for the work, it is unlikely that he will be through with the Panama canal in time for the present undertaking which MT. Lane intends to get into operation at once.
 The secretary said the enactment of the railroad bill would be followed by the passage of the Alaska leasing bill, which would mean the carrying out of the administration program for the development of Alaska in an incredi- bly, short time. He added that an at tempt would be made to gather the working force this year.
 The beginning of the project will signalize a new method of govern ment stimulus for the opening of vir- gin territory, contrast to the gov- ernment bounties and guarantee of bonds which in pioneer days of the west were used by the federal govern ment to encourage railroad building.
 Today's law had comparatively short history, though the project has been agitated for many years. Early last year Secretary Lane endorsed tha bill and obtained the support of the president to make it an administra- :, tion measure. Administration leaders

fully thought out for their continu- ance and direction, goes immediately into effect.
 The men chosen to carry out his work are his brother, Henry Herman Westinghouse, who is president of the American Brake Company and vice president and general manager of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company; Charles A. Terry, vice president Of the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring Company, and w. D. Unde- graff, director of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company.
 To this trusteeship will go the vot- ing power in all the corporations in which George Westinghouse was interested here and abroad. The individual wealth and holdings of MT. Westinghouse have been estimated at more than $5O,0O0,OOO.
 MT. Westinghouse, who was 6S years old, will be buried Saturday in Woodlawn Cemetery, this city.
 Funeral services will be held at o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church.

AT THE 4a.MUSE-T. "nhe Merchant of Venice"

By the eccentric will of her father, Portia, beautiful and accomplished lady of Belmont, is left a large for tune. That she may not become the victim of fortune-hunter or man unworthy of her, the will reads that all suitors for her hand must agree to choose from three caskets, and that he who chooses rightly shall wed her, while the rejected suitors are sworn to drop their suit and forever remain unwed.
 The weaker suitors for her hand are dismayed at the enactments of the testament and abandon their purpose. But there remains two of the suitors, the Prince of Morocco and Prince Ar rogan, who are willing to sign away their very lives to win the lady.
 Portia is cold alike to the suit of these two intrepid noblemen, because she already loves a young Venetian one Bassanio, howbeit poor, but hand some and a noble lover. Bassanio although he loves her deeply, feels that he cannot compete to hold a riv- al place with either of the noblemen owing to his slender means.
 He explains his love for Portia and his predicament to Antonio, his we'll beloved friend and merchant of Ve- nice. Although his entire fortune is sunk in certain cargoes which are now at sea, Antonio plans to raise money on his credit to speed Bassanio in his wooing.
 The two friends go to Shylock, a money-lender, one who has been per secuted and scorned and thus holds all Christians in the eXtremest hatred Shylock has daughter, Jessica, who loves Lorenzo, Christian, and a friend of Antonio and Bassanio. At the A-muse-U, matinee and evening today.
