were no remarks made in the meet

as in other places, the movement was
endorsed as cooperative measure
for the mutual benefit Of farmer and

"Buy-a-Baie' Movement Enthusiast ticay Launched
Here Mondy, Will Allow 10 Gents i'm Trade

The "Buy-a-Bale" movement was
auspiciously launched here Monday
when the merchants of the city agreed
to handle as many as 1,547 bales Of
cotton on a ten cents basis. During
the afternoon two meetisgs were held,
one by the merchants Of the city and
the other under the auspices OF the
Chamber OF Commerce. At the first
meeting a large number Of the citys
merchants pledged themselves to allow
cotton to be applied on accounts or in
trade at ten cents per pound, basis
strict mddling or better.
AT the meeting in the chamber Of
commerce a committee was appointed
composed OF Messrs. ID. a. Davis, l., f.
Burns and II. G. Switzcr, to canvas the
city for cash purchasers OF cotton Gn
the Buy-aBale plan. This committee
will probably make canvas Of the
city today.
The offer Of the merchants was put
into tangible shape by fhcans Of res
Olution subscribed to in writing by
different members present. These reso-
lutions with the subscribers are found
below, the number OF bales subscribed
for each merchant being opposite their
names The offer expires on October
18th, after which it VIII be optional
with the merchant whether or not he
will leave the offer open. AS the pro
position stands now, any farmer has
secure as much as ten cents per pound
In trade for a limited number OF bales.
The resolutions and subscribers are
as follows:
We, tho undersigned merchants Of
Laurens, agree to become members
Of an association calling itself "The
Laurens Buy-a=f3alc Association
whose object is to aid in providing
and maintaining a profitable price for

AS members Of this association we
agree to take in trade or on account
one or two bales, at the option Of the
purchaser. from each customer, to the
amount of bales opposite our names
at the price Of ten cents per pound for
cotton grading middling or better;

OF Court ana Given Jail Sentence,
COnditiOnaliy Suspended.
Magistrate w. Il. Crews, of Laurens
township. was adjudgcd in contempt
of court and given a six months jail
sentence by Judge r. S. Seasc in ses-
sions court Friday for failure to make
sufficient answer to the rule to show
cause issued previously by judge H..
w. Bowman why he should not submit
his criminal docket to the County
Board Of Commissioners and why he
should not pay over the fines collected
by him. The grand jury in its pre-
sentiment pointed out that Magistrate
Crews was $1,174.66 short in his ac-
counts, less salary due him Of about
5000, making the net shOrtarge Of near
ly 100000. The sentence IS suspended
for twenty days to enable the magis-
trate to pay over the shortage. The
order Of Judge Scase is as follows:
This matter comes before me under
an order passed by his Honor, t. B.
Gary, Presiding Judge at the June
Term, 1914, of this Court, said Order
directing the Respondent to comply IN
every respect with an Order passed
by his Honor, L. w. Bowman, Prcsid-
ing Judge on March 18th, 1914, direct
ing that Mag w. Il. Crews be, and he
is hereby required to show cause, on
or before the first day of the next term
OF this court, why he should not be re-
quired to submit his criminal docket
to the County Board Of Commisso
crs for examination, and pay over to
the County Treasurer all fines collect
ed by him.
The said Magistrate made return to
said Rule on the 10th day Of June, 1914
which Return was continued until
this term OF the Court by order of his
Honor, Judge Gary.
1t seems to me that the Return Is in
Sufficient and does not show any COM
pliance with the Rule, and no reason
for a failure SO to do.
1t further appears that the Grand
Jury of the county finds the said w. II.
Crews indebted to the county of Lau-
rens by reason OF fines collected by
him as Magistrate, Eleven Hundred
Sevcnty-four and G6-100 ($1174.G6)
Dollars, which amount he has failed
to turn over to the County Treasurer
as required by the Order Of this Court
1t further appears that said mags-
trate failed to submit his crimina
docket to the County Board of Com
missioners as required by order OF
this Court.
IT, IS, THEREFORE,, ORDERED
ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, That
the said w. 7. Crews Is in contempt OF
this Court in failing to comply with
the Order and Rules above referred to
and it Is the sentence Of this Court
that the said w. r. Crews be attached
by the Sheriff and committed to the
County Jail for a period Of six (6)
months. This sentence, however, is
suspended for neriod OF twenty days
from this date, and If the said w. IT,
Crews shall, during said twenty days
pay over to the County Treasurer the
amount Of money found to be due by
him to the County Of Laurens. that
said sentence be indefinitely suspend

Help to organize rural life and make
the country better place in which to
live
The problem that confronts the
farmer next in importance to distri-
button is diversiication.
Agriculture has gone through two
thousand years of evolution and is
still in an experimental stage.
Over-production is the stumbling
block, and systematic marketing the
stepping-stone of agriculture.
1t is the duty of every farmer to
see that his wife is supplied with
every equipment to tighten her labors.
To eliminate waste and inefficienc;
in marketing, the farmer should keep
in close touch with market conditions.
The problem of marketing is the
biggest business proposition of any
age or nation and one that will re-
quire the combined efforts of all the
agencies of civilization to solve.

BY CHARLES HENRY ADAMS.
DANCING Partners bod HIre.

New York, June 12.-If you chance
to be lone miss desiring to tread the
lively measures OF the maxixe, the
tango and the hesitation. you may hire
male. anywhere from eighteen TO
forty years OF age, for a partner. The
dance salons have brought this nova.
ton to New York life. and instead OF
sitting gloomlly at home when your
dancing friends are shut in stuffy old
offices, you trip gayly to the nearest
salon, pay your admission, and pro-
coed to pick out your partner. He Is
properly introduced by the digniiied
gray.halred chaperon, who guarantees
his moral and artistic excellence
and he is your exclusive property so
long as you choose to pay for him.
The whole situation is an amusing re.
yersal OF the old-fashioned dancing
party, when the lady must make a
hit" II she wished her dancing card
filed with masculine initials. In the
modern dancing salon all the wal!
flowers are male. My lady pays her
money and takes her choice, but there
are two essentials other than ability
TO please by small talk-they must be
well groomed and they must be well
trained.
