Spartanburg Sets Pace.

Columbia, s. c., Sept. 9.-Spar-
tanburg county has set pace In
the membership canvass Of the South
Carolina Cotton Association that
other counties Of the state ought to
follow, say officials Of the associa-
ton. John B. Cannon, chairman for
that county, reports 1900 members
and membership dues totalling $10,-
600.
In addition citizens Of Spartan
burg county have subscribed $780,
90 for the erection Of a chain Of
warehouses over the county to be
operated under the United States
Federal Warehouse Act. A charter
for the warehouse system has al
ready been applied for.
Reports from the over the state
indicate that good progress is being
made in most of the counties in the
membership campaign. In some few
counties difficulty is being experience
ed in securing solicitors. The re-
port comes from every section that
the people are waiting to join. All
that is needed is to have solicitors
to ask them.
Concerning the record made by
Spartanburg, ]. Skottowe Wannama-
ker, president of the South Carolina
Cotton Association and also of the
American Cotton Association, has
made this statement:
"Spartanburg county, South Caro-
lima, has furnished an example for
the entire cotton belt. This county
has arranged to warehouse and f.
nance their cotton until it reaches a
price agreeable to the owner, and
for this purpose has raised the sum
of three hundred thousand dollars to
be used for the erection in different
sections of the county standard cot
ton warehouses, to be operated un-
der the United States Federal Ware
house Act. I most earnestly urge
that this plan be pushed throughout
the length and breadth of the cotton
belt, and that Spartanburg county

Two Prominent Men.
(Spartanburg Journal.)

Two very distinguished citizens OF
Abbeville passed through Spartan
burg yesterday headed for Greer
looking for an investment of idle
funds. The capitalist of the pair
was Mr.. J. S. Stark, and the lawyer,
he always takes with him when he is
about to conclude a great deal, was
the Hon. w. P. Greene. They did
rot cav on which side of the County
line the property lies, but, as they
are both men of vision, it is assumed
1t is situated on the Spartanburg
side. in which case it would be en-
tirely safe for the investors to place
their money where all Of it would

Of roads in Greenville County. The
gentlemen from Ab'--'ille reported
that the charge for water in that
town is 20 cents the thousand gal
Ions, which is thirty cents less than
the charge in Spartanburg. They
also reported that as soon as Mr..
William Barnwell has reached n set

A Tribute To The Salaried Man.

Attorney General Palmer said
something the other day when he was
discussing the proposed investigation
into the apparently too high cost Of
living. He said that while economic
conditions were the fundamental
cause of the high prices Of necessi-
ties, violations of laws designed to
prevent concerted raising of prices
also might be partly responsible, and
then he; went on:
"There is no doubt that the ma,
jtrity, of the people are more pros
porous than ever before, farmers and
wage-earners especially. The man

who has suffered from high prices
has been the salaried man. wish we
"cn:d do something t, ae'p Elm I'M
open to suggestions"
While the ones Who have sugges-
tions to offer are putting than into
presentable and woi,u',ir shape, it IS
an appropriate time 10 pay a cesarv-
ed tribute to the qualities Of the
average salaried man who has BONE
the burden of the high cost of living
incident to the war an who has suf-
fered perhaps more than the men
who have been in big profitable Dusi-
ness, more than the farmer who has
reaped harvest of gold from his
fields, more than the wage-earner
who has found increase after in
crease awaiting him on demand.
The average salaried man has kept
on the job; he has fed and clothed
his family somehow; he has done his
full share in buying bonds and stick
ing away thrift stamps and in giving
to all the war causes he has pinched
and economical, taken on extra
hours in the home garden; he has
done his duty in the main bravely,
Loyalty, patiently, nobly.
The biggest thing about this is
that he hasn't kicked and howled; he
hasn't threatened and menaced; he
hasn't bombed or bolsheviked; he
hasn't often complained. He has, in
deed, borne the middle of the big
load and been a good citizen about
it. He is not a whit less of a hero
than some others whose work has
been more spectacular and whose
suffering has been more sanguine.
He deserves a tribute.

90 one step further and urge the
senators and congressman from
South Carolina to promptly pass an
act stipulating that cotton can be de-
livered from the warehouses in
Spartanburg and from similar ware
houses throughout the length and
breadth Of the cotton belt on con-
tracts Of the New York and New Or
leans Cotton Exchanges. This would
absolutely and completely change the
existing conditions in the handling
Of cotton, and would be worth bill
lions to the cotton industry. Get
your association behind this, and
urge your Spartanburg friends to
put their warehouses in line with
this suggestion. They will set an

THE COTTON SITUATION.

Trading in cotton during the week
was almost entirely professional.
Price fluctuations were irregular,
traders showing a disposition to even
up accounts over the Labor Day ad-
journment and pending the Govern
mcnt condition report which is sched
uled for publication Tuesday next.
1t is quite generally believed that
weather conditions since the last re-
port of the Bureau have been better
than the average, and the dependa-
BILE private advices so far issued have
indicated an increase in the new
crop promise. The report Of the Ma
tional Ginners' Association, for in
stance, makes the condition 62.5,
which points to a crop of 1890, 900
bales as compared with 100000
the Governments indication last
month. Some advices, however, en-
phasize unfavorable features, par
ticularly with reference to insect ac-
tivity, while one authority places the
Texas condition at So. and claims
that the crop in that State is thirty
days late; so it is not surprising
that trade sentiment as to the actual
showing of the Federal data has not
yet fully crystalized. Good or bad
the Government figures are likely to
have but temporary market influence
for, from a broad aspect Of the situ-
alton, crop prospects are oversha-
dowed by more vital factors, notably
the question of foreign exchange
and the establishment of European
credits, the labor situation and the
peace treaty.
There is nothing in the Statistical!
position Of cotton that offers much
encouragement to holders. Euro
pcan stocks have now risen to Ill.,
COO bales. as compared wifi A12, ,0G0
bales on the corresponding date last
wear, while the total visible supply
is 4,3O0,00O bales as compared with
2,SS0,C00 year ago, 2,54O,OO0
bales in 1917. and 2.790.o0n bales in
1916. With prices approximately at
the 32-ccnt ievci, - coihp..red with
Is cents in 1919. il Is quite evident
that no incentive to buy cotton can
be found in crop or routine statistics.

prices. First and by far the most
important is imitation, which = in
reality largely responsible foy the
present high level and which my re-
suit ultimately in. even higher .jrices
for all commodities including Cotton.
The second is the perfection of some
form of credit arrangements with
Germany and Austria which will per-
nit those countries to buy our cotton
freely. But until there is reason to
believe that the European demand
will be stimulated by an adequate
credit plan, and until there is evi-
dence that the attitude of labor will
not cause a check to business, it
would appear wise to sell cotton on
all the rallies created by temporary
uplifting Influences

THE TREATY AND THE SENATE.

les not because there are faults in
the peace treaty that the Republl-
cans are fighting the pact. There are
no doubt many faults. Human fore
sight and canniness, whether it be
bf the Republican or Democratic
variety, can not obviate mistakes.
Political capital is really what the
Republicans hope to manufacture by
their recalcitrant methods.
The Republican leaders preach
nightly of the Constitution and the
Leadership of Lincoln" But If
the League of Nations document
contained all the wisdom that is en-
bodied in the great charter Of our
liberties and Wilson was just more
finished Lincoln, said facts would be
lost on the astigmatic vision Of Re-
publican leadership for two reasons:
first, none of the G. o. P. leaders
wants to find anything good in the
League of Nations or in Wilson; Sec
ondly, there is not enough honest,
breadth of thought or vision among
the Senate Republicans to ascertain
real values.
We have not the slightest doubt
that the Peace Treaty and the Lea
que of Nations can be improved up
on. Reservations, amendments or
expurgations might be made, and
when that was done, the process re-
peated ad infinitum and the pact
would still remain human and falli-
BILE.
There is just one thing of which
we are certain and that is that little
improvement can be made in the
document by the Republican Senate
in it's present mood, which is solely
inococlastic, petty and selfsh-sel-
fishness born of hatred of Wilson
and a desire to encompass the de-
feat of the Democratic Party in
1920.
No thought of craftsmanship en-
ters the head of these pettifogging
senators. In fact, the word states
man" along with that vague some
thing called craftsmanship IS oO-
solete. The antics of many OF the
senators for the past few months
would put to shame the best efforts
of the "small town" politician. Few
men, and it applies to politicians
range beyond the limits OF their I'M
agination and the imagination OF the
average politician-senator is bound
ed by the mathematical point.
And after all it is not 80 much
that he need brilliant men IN the
Senate, but men NOV ! to action by
higher motives than those Of getting
votes for one or tine other Of the po-
litical parties. Bi: somplici5y, hon.

he saw several pieces Of motor sent hack because they varied one half thousandth of an inch. The Marmon people had large amount of exper- fence in getting their motors exactly accurate while they were making Lib erty motors during the war. They are now using the same process for abtaining accuracy that they used then. It is now possible to disassemble Marmon motor and put in new parts if necessary, without filing them down in any manner or to any extent, no matter how small. The main shaft bearings and the crank case bearings have been created so accurately that it is not even necessary to use ''shim" to fit them in. After having been on a testing block for 20 hours, one of the new motors was disasSem- bled and the bearings looked as 1T they had never been used. It is now pos sible for two mechanics to completely disassemble a Marmon motor in an hour and forty-five minutes.

It is only lack of ma terial which is holding their produc- ton down to 70 cars day.

 According to the sales manager ot the Oakland factory, it is not because they are put to it to sell their cars that they are supplying dealers west of the Mississippi but because they want to keep organizations intact preparatory to a larger production. At the present time they could sell every car they make east of that river. They want to keep their representatives in this part of the country supplied with ma chimes in view of the 100000 car pro duction which they expect to inaugu- rate during 1920. The Oakland, MT. Gardner found had gone big in the east and the demand everywhere has greatly exceeded tbe supply. The Oak land people have but recently started spending $2,000.000 on new additions to their buildings.

 The Paige is handled here by the Watson Brothers, who have their temporary headquarters at Batcher's Garage on North Second avenue.
 Wherever the Larchmont model appears on the streets of Phoenix it attracts universal attention. Equipped as it is with DisteeI wheels, and a whole flock of the ordinary features, it Is one of the classiest looking cars made.

The seats have been built at an angle which allows one to nestle down with all the comfort and ease in the world. In addition to the soft cushions, the shock absorbing qualities of the Paige have made it one of the easiest riding ears on the market.

Olds Party will Not Worry Over
 Mousim@ Problem

There is one party due to arrive in Phoenix which will not be troubled with the house shortage or the scarcity of hotel accommodations.
 When F.. P. Larson of Sacramento drove up to the Oldsmobile headquar- ters in Los Angeles recently in a com pletely equipped Oldsmobile Economy truck, he merely asked permission to park his Road Lizard" in the vacant lot immediately adjoining the Los An geles agency's building. With this granted, his housing problems were solved With a coa-oil range soon burning in the car, the house-on-a- able as any apartment.
 The body of the truck was designed and made by MT. Larson at a nominal cost and included every feature that could be thought of with the exception of a bath. In order to overcome this. a shower was installed on the outside of the car. Not an inch of waste space could be found in this cosy room" The equipment included a refrigerator, running water supplied from a 2O-gal- lon tank, cook stove table, hunks dressing table, chairs and many other little conveniences for the storing of utensils.
 dogs left Sacramento recently to see America First after their own fash ion. After leaving Los Angeles, they expect to visit Arizona and the Grand Canyon and practically every other point of interest in the United States From this country. it is the intention of the party to visit South America. The body is fitted on regular three quarter ton Olsbmobile Economy truck body which carries pneumatic tires, electric lights, self starter and a wind shield.

Besides being a partner in possess ing Arizona's finest picture theater, the next natural thing for a man of that calibre to crave is a high grade automobile, quite in keeping with his amusement enterprises.
 That. in a measure is, the case Of Joe F. Richards, or as he is more fam iharly known by his pen name as Art Rick who only recently gave way to his Oldsmobile standard roadster for a more pretentious, yet unobstrusive, Apperson Anniversary club roadster. The new car was delivered to Rick this week.
 Since the consolidation of the Rick ards and Mace amusement ventures now known as the Richards and Mace enterprises, they have perhaps done more to further the amusement game in Phoenix than any other organiza ton. They now control the Strand, Hip and Lamara theaters, Riverside park and other places of amusement.
 It is only natural. then. that Rick should keep apace with his various en- terprises in the form of automobiles. It was only a short while ago that he was to be seen driving about the streets of Phoenix in a four-cylinder car. In short while his taste run to the eight cylinder in the form of the OIdsmobile So enthusiastic was he over the eight. that he very soon be- came desirous of possessing a roomier car of d more expensive calibre but still an eight.

W. F. Gardner, head of the W T.. Gardner company and of the Oakland Arizona Sales company, has signed contracts for S2.00O.000 worth of auto ing the coming year. This announce ment was made yesterday following ' Gardners return from a three weeks trip to the east, .:iring which time he visited the Ms.snon, Chandler, Cleveland and Oaklanu factories
 One year ago the w. E. Gardner com pany and the Oakland Arizona Sales company had not come into existence. It will be one year in February since they received their first cars, and now after less than 365 days of actice op- erations. w. F.. Gardner is occupying one of the most up-to-date automo- bile buildings in the southwest, has an organization second to none in the west and is in position to sign con- tracts for delivery of automobiles to the value of $2,000.000.
 The primary purpose of Gardners visit to the eastern factories was to secure a larger allotment of cars for the coming year. In this he was sue cessfuL and believes that with the ex- ception of the next 90 days, his com panies will be in a position to almost guarantee deliveries During the com ing year he will receive 50 more Chandlers than during the past sea- son.
 Perhaps the most interesting part of Gardner's visit to the east was his in spection of the Nordyke- -Marmon fac tory at Indianapolis. The new model Marmons of which so much has been said and written are now on their way to Phoenix, but this was the first time the state distributor for Arizona had ever seen the new motor. It must be understood by Marmon enthusiasts that the lines and body of the 1920 car have not been changed one whit. The motor and several mechanical ap pliances have been greatly altered
 Although in common with other big factories in the east, the Marmon fac tory had been hit and hit hard by the shortage of coal, they have been man aging to operate nearly up to schedule by using tractors to furnish a large portion of the machinery with power. This was an innovation introduced in the east by the Marmon people and has worked out in a more or less successful manner Gardrer saw large number of the little tractors hooked on to shafts, making the wheels of com merce spin almost as good as they were originally intended to.
 Another innovation introduced by the Marmon people las been to attach their motors while on the testing block to a hydrometer. and generate juice for the factory. This has worked remarkably we'll
