DELEGATES SELECTED.
Five South CarOlininns to Attend
Drainage Congress.


Drainage Congress.
Chicago, ILL.,, April 6.-Five eminent,
public spirited citizens Of South
Carolina have been appointed spe-
cial committee to undertake the work
Of securing a strong delegation from
this state to the fourth annual meet
ing Of &he National Drainage Congress
which is, to be held at Savannah Ga,
April 1926, inclusive. They are Col.
F.. ]. Watson Of Columbia, state COM
missioner Of agriculture, commerce
and Industries, who is the first vice.
president Of the Drainage Congress,
and n member Of the board OF gov
crnors; Reid Whitford. engineer Of
the Sanitary and Drainage District Of
tive committeeman; Thomas o. Law
ton of Brighton, who Is the honorary
vice president for South Carolina;
Capt. Samuel G. Stoney, president OF
the Agricultural Society of Charles
ton; and w. F., Hamer. Of Garnett:
the latter two being members Of tho
general educational committee Of the
organization.
South Carolina Is vitally interested
in the success Of the National Drain
age Congress, which would result in
the early drainage and reclamation of
more than 100000 of rich farm lands
that would add at least $50,000,000 a
year to the value Of the agricultural
products OF the : tate. These acres can
be drained and reclaimed quickly and
at comparatively low expense, and
this work would greatly improve the
public health by largely eradicating
malaria.

POPULAR IN PHILIPPINES.
Former Laurens County Man Given
Important Government Post in Far
Away Islands.

Away Islands.
A recent issue of The Philippines
Monthly contained very compliment
tary notice of Mr.. Joseph b. Cooley,
who lived in this county at one time
and who married young lady Of
Lanford. Mr.. Cooley has been in the
islands since their occupation by the
United States. The following is in
part the article in the Philippine
monthly:
Among the many excellent appoint
ments made by Gove,nor-General Har-
rison perhaps none was more favOra-
bly, received by the people of the is
lands--American and Filipinos alike
than that of Mr.. Joseph b. Cooley as
superintendent of the Prison and PEN
al Colony Farm at San Ramon, Fam
boanga, Mindanao. Joe Cooley is
known far and wide throughout the
island aud his friends are a legion.
Joe was only q youngstcr when he en-
listed in the 29th Volunteer Infantry
and started for the Philippines, but he
had the soul Of man and he saw
some bloody days battling the pu'a-
james In Samar. He was at San Matco
when the gallant Lawton was killed
and in many other stiff engagements
before he was 21. At the close Of hos
tilities he became a member of the Sc
crct service department of the city Of
Manila and although at times there
was considerable disagrecable work
to do, Mr.. Cooley was always the gem
tleman and the unlucky fellow who
found himself in the tolls knew that
Mr.. Cooley was merely performing a
duty and that he was certain of get
ting square deal as far as Cooley
was concerned In 1906 Mr.. Cooley
was appointed chief agent Of the Phil
ippine Constabulary, taking the place
Of f. l.. Carpenter, who was killed in
laguna while trying to capture the no
torious Sakay and his band Of outlaws.
Mr.. Cooler comes from Il state that
has produced some of Americas great
Wv os''SohhSii ooiulctS, lIc SIdIu
old state Of South Carolina, and Cooley
is proud Of it. He thought SO much
of his native state that when he decid-
ed to settle down none but a charm
ing South Carolina girl would do him
for wife.
In August, 1911, he married Miss
Annie Lee Lanford, Of Lanford, South
Carolina, and If Joe Cooley was popu-
lar before that date he was doubly so
after his bride arrived here. Mr..
Cooley is a member Of several organ
izations, among them the Sons OF the
Revolution, the Sons Of the Confed-
eracy and the Veteran Army Of the
Philippines, Three or four genera
ticns of scrappers, If you will notice.
