COTTON GRADER ARRIVES.
NAr. U. L. Brooks, Government Cotton
Grader for Sumter, viii he at the
ohambcr of Commerce Temperate.
lY.

Mr.. G. T. Broks, government cotto,
srader. who has been assigned IN th,s
market to work in co-onerat;or, with
'ne recently organized Tri- County
marketing Association, arrived in tho
city today, and will temporari,,, hou
MS once at the Chamber of Com,
iherce until the store-room on Fact
Liberty street, rented for be.d,u.
ters by the Marketing Assoo;a.io,
can De lifted up and furnished for b,s
accommodation. 1t is expected thot
the headquarters will be readv Cow
use within a week or ten days, but in
Ihe meantime all farmers who wish
10 nave their cotton graded accord;ng
TO government standards will, find M
BROOKS at the Chamber Of Com
merce. The success or failure of the
marketing association rests not with
the government agent ass;gnoa %
thIs market. but with the cotton
farmers of Sumter. Lee and Claren-
don counties who sell their cottor
on this market. If they join the as
sociation and lend it their influence
and assistance the asso citation can he
made a most valuable instrumort Co..,
the up-building Of the Sumter cot-
ton market SO that the farmers can
be azssured at all times that thev w;,,
receive the highest prices for their
cotton and other products. While
the cotton grader will be concerned
only with cotton, the sphere of ac-
tivity and service OF the Tri-County
Marketing Association will ultimately
be much wider, for it is the purpose
of the organization to find markets
for all varieties of farm produce
and to open new channels of business
for the farmers whereby they may
be guaranteed a certain market at all
seasons for their products. In hand
ling cotton the marketing committee
of the association plans to sell cot
ton for the farmers direct to mills
and exporters in large lots and thus
secure for the producers the full
market price of the cotton, securing
for the producers the profits that the
middlemen now make on handling it
In small lots. However there is no
obligation on the part of the farm
ers to sell his cotton through the sell
ing committee Of the association. If
he does not wish to sell in this man.
ner he may sell to the regular buy
ers as heretofore. but he may still
obtain the services of the grader, if
he wishes to know the grades of his
cotton before he offers it for sale.

REPORT ON INSURANCE,
MEASURE TO MAKE AMOUNT OF
INDEMNITY OPTIONAL.
Government Proposes to Provide Al
lOwanccs for Dependents OF Sol
dicrs and Sailors.

Washington. Aug. 29.-The admin
istration soldiers and sailors insur-
ance. bill designed as a substitute in
the future for the present pension
system, was favorably reported today
! by a house committee.
Representativ Parker of New Jer-
sey cast the only vote against report
| ing the measure. He was opposed to
the optional insurance feature, ex-
pressing the view it would cost a tre-
mendous sum of money and could not
be administered fairly.
The principal change made in the
bill by the committe was the reduc-
ton of the maximum amount of op-
tiona. insurance a man may take
from 10000 to $1,000. Another
amendment adopted provides that the
allowance of a widow shall automati-
cally cease upon remarriage. Orig
inally the allowance would have con-
tinued for two years after the death
Of the husband.
Chairman Adamson said tonight
the bill would be reported tomorrow
and possibly passed by the house
this week. He is confident Of pas.
sage, but anticipates strenuous oppo-
sition to 1t from the insurance COM
mittee and the pension committee of
both houses.
The bill would provide allowances
for dependents of men in service,
compensation for death and disabil-
fly; optional insurance for officers
and enlisted men and educational and
vocational training for honorably dis
charged men. Administration costs
for the first and second years of the
war are estimated at $176, 900, 600
and $3S0.00O,00O respectively.
The optional insurance section Of
the bill around which the bitterest
fight will wage contemplates the in.
surance OF officers and men, without
uiSStHCtiOu VI pOilCIeS ranging from
$1,000 to $1,000 for the duration Of
the war only at an estimated cost of
So per $1,000 to the policy holder. In
surance companies recently have do.
clined to assume such war risks for
less than $5S per $1,000.
Proposed allotments for dependents
of mon In service would range from
IS a month upward to $50 accord
tng to the number Of dependents and
their relationship to the man in SER
vice. A dependent wife with no chill
dren would receive $15 a month; with
one child, s25; two children, Lss2.5c
and for each additional child IS. Up.
on death resulting from injuries a
widow would receive from $40 TO
1900 a month. Similar provision r.
made for widowed mothers. Allow.
ance for disabilities incurred in the
service would range from $40 to 500
a month.

1.-THE Iron Claw" at Isis Monday.

Inc IRON NlaW AZ ISIS monday.
Another thrilling afternoon at the
Isis Monday in which Pearl White and
chreishton Hale perform some of the
most spectacular and daring stunts.
With truly remarkable nerve, the prin-
cipals in this wonderful picture being
never for a minute free from danger,
and the faculty of doing the. right
thing at exactly the right time or lose
a limb or perhaps a life makes this
picture play a veritahle collection of
cXcitable incidents all the way through.
The intense interest displayed in this
popular photoplay, it being typical
melodrama, by patrons of the Isis has
brought houses crowded to capacity. 1t
goes to show how well appreciated are
the more expensive and really worth
while plays which the management
presents at this popular playhouse.
The whole serial should be seen for
each new film is so interestingly con-
nected up with the last that some of
the most interesting episodes are hard
to realize unless viewed as they come
each week. IN any event, ",rhe Iron
Claw is worth while all the time and
no one should miss seeing it every
Monday at the Isis.
