her wide circle of friends and rela-
tives.
The interment was in Long Cane
cemetery by the side Of her husband
and her casket was followed by her
children, her grandchildren, and a
wide circle of sorrowing relatives
and friends.
Sincere sympathy is felt for the

George White, Of this city, who have
made the journey along life's high
way for so many years together.

CALHOUN COUNTY
FORMS COTTON
SELLING BODY
Hon. A. F. Lever Ad-
dresses Farmers and
Business Men.

st. Matthews, S. c., Sept. o.
Congressman A. F. Lever made an
address here Thursday before an au-
dience of farmers and business men
of the county. The speaker was in.
troduced by D. S. Murph, ESQ.,, clerk
of the agricultural committee. The
meeting was held in the court house.
His speech was in the interest of
grading and marketing cotton in the
south.
He said, in part:
"One out of every five farmers
does not know the grades of cotton
and the farmer is the only person
who sells his products and doesn't
know what he sells. The majority
of buyers know nothing of grading
cotton: the average man is just as
competent to grade eggs as he is cot
ton. Experts who have looked into
the matter say that it costs the far
mer from SO to $12 per bale to sell
to these incompetent buyers. Most
buyers grade cotton a little low to
protect themselves. There are men
in this country who are getting rich
by this method of grading.
Congress has undertaken to solve
the problem of proper marketing for
farm products. In 1913 an appropri-
alton Of $50,000 was given for this
purpose by congress to establish a
market of standard grades. The cot
ton standard act now pending in con-
gress will establish board of arbi-
tration. If you are not satisfied with
grade you can accept the opinion of
the experts. My visit here today is
to further the interest of marketing
farm products. The department will
send here. an expert if the citizens
request it; and these experts are the
best in the country. Experts sam
pies of cotton can be bought for $40.
The proposition is to save dollars
and cents for the man who raises and
sells cotton. The matter of grading
is one of the biggest problems that
confronts the farmer.
"The local warehouse should COOP
crate with the federal warehouse
each should be bonded.
"The cotton stndard act is pending
and this vii ltake care of the cotton
that does not 60 into the warehouse" "
He said he felt sure that the act
would pass, as the committee had
passed favorably upon same. He stat
ed that man would be sent here
free of charge to demonstrate what
it means.
"The biggest markets in the I'm
tied States have experts and accept
these grades" he said.
Upon motion of T. M. Wannama-
ker and seconded by T. A. Amaker
an association was formed to be
known as the Cotton Marketing AS
sociation of Calhoun County. J-E.
Wannamaker was elected president
of this association and J. C. Redmon
secretary and treasurer. The associ-
alton requested that an expert be
sent here Immediately.
