Bankers and Farmers.

Bankers are trying to get in closer touch with the farmer, and their efforts are bound to produce results profitable to both. This paper, again and again has urged a closer cooperation between banker and farmer, and the cry has been echoed all over the country. The Missouri Bankers Association is making a first definite step in coopera ting with the state board of Agri- culture and other organizations to organize rural associations in every county in the state for the purpose of working up sentiment for good roads, farm advisers, better schools and more Scienti- fic methods of agriculture. Men. will represent the bankers asso- citation in each county, and will send speakers and workers to aid. The railroad will also lend assistance. The new movement is the dawn of the era of rock roads and the death kneIl of the little backwoods school | ouse on the hill.

Rice Is Placed On
 Basis With Cotton.

Rice growers will be enabled by means of warehouse reciepts attached to their notes to obtain money from banks as do cotton growers. Rice has been recog- nized along with cotton by the federal rs9rVe bank at Ga Has as safe secur y. Growers will enjoy the same relief accord ed cotton growers thereby pre- venting the throwing of the en tire crop on the market as it is harvested.
 A special committee, consist ting of John ". Gaines of City and W; B. Dunlap and
 Eignus of beaumont appoh
 short time ago by the dMee. ey the southern Rice Grove Association called on John Scott director of the feder; reserve bank. They were assured that satisfactory arrangements could be made to handle tke crop.
 MT. Scott said the federal re eral reserve bank at Dallas re- gards rice as a staple, placing it in a class with cotton. This bank. he said, will discount. for its member banks commodity paper. as it is called. Notes Sc. I cured by nonperishable grain and other products, such as cot ton and rice, at rate of 3 per cent, the notes to be secured by the product in the warehouse.
 It is believed that rice grow. CTS will be able to obtain money from any member" bank by giving their notes, with ware house receipt attached, at rate of 6 per cent.
 While rice commands at pres- ent what is regarded as a satis- factory price. yet it is feared that were it necessary to throw tne coming crop on the market at one tune growers would be unable to realize on it as would be possible if a portion could be held until later date. We're the full yield offered at once. it would not be possible, it is said. for the mills to handle it. By arranging to warehouse a DOT tion, not only is a guarantee pro- yided against a slump in prices. but the glutIing of the mills is prevented.

Cotton Marketing

NFhe great troub ble in the mar keting of the cottot of the South is in the fact that the producers insist on selling in 90 days a crop that takes the world 12 mout hs to manu facture and con- sume. This creates the necessi- ty for middlemen to buy and hold until the manufacturers are ready for it. These middle men are brought into existence through a desire to make money :, and in buying the cotton they expect to make money by hold ing. Tbeir operation is specula. tive, and they cannot afford to hold cotton on a small margin if they know it. .Theirexpenses in interest, insurance, etc, are heavy. All of these things are taken into account, and deducted in advance when they buy con- quently these items fall on the farmer.
 The cotton spinners do not care what price they have to pay for cotton, as long as the price is the same to all. 1 have heard them say so. They base the price of the manufactured pro- duct on the price they pay for cotton. Now, here is the chance for the farmer to increase the price of cotton. The Secretary of the Treasury has already place fifteen million dollars in the banks of the South to be loaned to the cotton producers on cotton at six per cent per an nun. Every farmer who will borrow money on his cotton, and hold it for six or nine months, is almost assured of a higher price.
 The way to borrow money is to put your cotton in warehouse, and get receipt for it. and bor- row on the warehouse receipt
 The U. $. Government bas es- tablished in Little Rock for the season man to grade and class fly cotton for the producer. This service is available to all of the producers, You can send you sample to him, get it graded and classed, and place the grade in your warehouse receipt. This will help you to borrow at a better advantage, and to sell at a better advantage. You can sell at any time. Get a club of farm CTS together, or see your local merchants or bankers. and get a loan on all, or part of your cotton and hold it for a better maket.
 The solution of the cotton grower rests in marketing the crop gradually, through legiti- mate CTS, and brokers. This will always insure you the mark ct value of your cotton. The farmer can warehouse his cotton as easy as the speculator, and at less cost.
 Ask your merchants for as. sisstance in borrowing money on your cotton, if you want to hold it. By all means do not rush your cotton on the maket. The crop is short.

 Commissioner.

ST. ELMO.

st. Elmo, the high-strung,
sensitive scion of an aristocratic
family, discovers a clandestine
love affair between his fiance
and his best friend Murray Ham
mond. In a frenzy of rage he
challenges Hammond, kills him
in a duel and thereafter, his
faith in humanity shattered, he
lives the life Of a scoundrel and
a profiigate. He outrages the
feelings of his family, insults
his friends and his mad career
of dissipation is carrying him
perilously close to the verge of
madness. Then fate intervenes.
He meets the woman, who is
destined to be his salvation.
A mere slip of girl is Edna Earl,
an Innocent, unsullied by con-
tact with the world, but she
does what the pleadings of a
mother, the adjurations of a
minister of the gospel have been
unable to bring about. Through
her, ST. Elmo renews his trust
in God and mankind, and his
moral and spiritual regeneration
fully accomplished, he finally
wins her for his own.

Mr.. Potts in an Affray.

Says the Charlotte Observer of
Sunday:
"A fist fight that created much
excitement among spectators
took place at the Southern pas
senger station last night at
1920 O'Clock, the participants
being Messrs. G. l.. Woodside of
Charlotte and j. H. Potts of
Greenville, S. G..
The basis of the encounter
was the statement by Mrs. Potts
to her husband that she had
been approached by Mr.. Wood
side, who was a stranger. in a
manner which she considered
insulting.
Mrs. Potts arrived in Char
lotte last night on one of the
early trains from High Point and
waited here for her husband, who
came in on d later train from
Salisbury where he had been on
business. Mr.. Potts is in charge
of construction work for the
Southern railroad between here
and Atlanta.
Mrs. Potts, who is pretty
and very young and seems a
mere slip OF a girl, not yet out
of her teens, remained at the
station here. According to her
narrative when she started
through the passenger way to
the exterior, thinking she heard
the train, he made an attempt to
draw her into conversation. but
she was frightened and re-
treated into the building. When
her husband came she mentioned
the incident to him.
Mr.. Potts, a tall, slender
young man, clad in a straw hat
and a Palm Beach suit, told the
police that he walked over with
his wife to where Woodside was
standing and demonstrated with
him, giving MIN credit with
having made a serious mistake
Fort Mill times. [volume] (Fort Mill, S.C.) 1892-current, 1915-08-19

but warning him that he should
be careful, otherwise he might
get into trouble some day. Potts
said that at this Woodside began
to swear at him, whereupon the
railroad man attacked Woodside
and there was lively tussle for
some minutes until bystanders
interviewed.
Mr.. Woodside made a COM
plete denial of having approached
the young lady in any way. He
is charged with disorderly con-
duct and with engaging in an
affray,- and is out under $25
bond. Mr.. Potts is charged with
an affray and gave SO bond.
He and wife will leave this morn
ing for Greenville."
Mr.. Potts is a son of Mr.. Jas.
Ii. Potts of Fort Mill.

ACTIVE NEWSPAPER MEN
 To STUDY AT UNIVERSITY

Seattle, Feb. 9-Thirty-nine ac- tive newspaper men, representative Of the journalistic, advertising and business phases of newspaper and trade journal publication, have sig rified their desire to study news paper jurisprudence in the course called journalism 10, which was op- ened February 8. The class will be fought by Dean Condon of the Law school. The S9 have sent in ballots to the department of journalism, e1- pressing their preference for cer- tain hours at which they would like to have the class held. Besides them Professor Kane of the journalism department knows of some others who have not balloted but intend to attend, and it is likely that Dean Condon will have as pupils also the teachers ul journalism.
 A plurality of the active newspa- per mea who voted named 2 to g Thursday evenings as the time that would best suit their convenience. Nineteen voted for that time; Il for the same hours on Tuesday ey- ening; three for II a. m. Thursday; two for 3 D. m. Wednesday, and one each for Thursday at 8 and Thurs day at two. It Is probable, accord ing to Professor Kane, that the .19 whose preference prevails will be Joined by the II who voted for Tuesday evenings. There will be only few regularly registered students of journalism qualified lIn- der the system of prerequisites en- forced in that department. The frs session Of the class was held Thursday evening, February 4, in room 12 of the Law (the old Ore gon) building.
 Dean Condon agreed some time since to give the course at an hour that would suit the largest number of active journalists who would care to take the course. He will teach the subject through lectures, and tn active newspaper men will be priv ileged as auditors. The course will cover contractual relations as bearing on newspaper administra- ton, right to privacy, civil and crim inal libel, copyright, and the state and federal euactments governing circulation and advertising.
