TIME EXTENDED FOR
JOINING COTTON ASSOCIATION
Newberry Should Rally to This Move
ment-It Means Much for the
Southern Farmers.
To Township Committees of the S.

To Township Committees Of the S.
C. Cotton Association:
Reports from every part of the
State show that the people appreci-
ate the great opportunity they have
for self protection by joining the
Cotton Association.
In two townships Of the eastern
part of the State every man has
joined, and in some places the pee
ole have voluntarily paid double the
amount of dues. A man Of COM
mon sense and honesty cannot refuse
to give assistance by joining this or
ganization if ne is asked to do so.
There is too much involved.
Newberry county has always re-
~sponded when called upon to 90 its
duty. During the crucial period OF
the war she always went over the top
in the drives for the Y. M. G. A.,
Red Cross and Liberty Loans. Now
very little money is required, but the
profit to be derived from a strong
organization promises to be enorm-
GUS for the South.
South Carolina is taking the lead
in organization, and is being critical
ly watched by the world. All thai
Newbersy needs to do her full part,
is loyal work by the committees.
Every man in the county must e
asked to join. If through sickness
or any other cause any OF the cor
mittee cannot perform the wor,-,
chairmen of the townships must ap-
point others, so the committees can
have opportunity to make thorough
canvass. While the drive was intend
ed to be finished in three days, the
time is extended to give opportunity
to the committees to make a thorough
canvass. It will not do to have men
saw, after the drive is over, that they
would have joined, but were not ask
ed to do so.
So very much depends upon
thorough work of the committees
that chairmen are asked to add as
many men to their committees as
NAV be needed to make complete
canvass of their townships. Reports
must be made to Mr.. S. S. Cunning
ham, Secty.' and any further inform
alton desired will be furnished by
the chairman.

There is one matter, however,
whic hit seems will not right itself,
now that the war is overland that
is the high cost of living. The Wash
ington correspondence of the News
and Courier carries statement from
Governor Cooper this morning, in
which he says that the way it ap-
pears to him, speaking for South
Carolina, and bearing in mind the
duty and privilege of the people of
South Carolina to serve the whole
country in the emergency which is
now worldwide, is that the need OF
the hour is an increase in the pro-
duction Of foodstuffs and conserva-
tive buying of the necessaries OF
life" So far as he knows, he says,
there is no boarding in this State.
AS to the conservative buying of the
necessaries of life, that has already
been forced on most people; and as
to the increase in the production OF
food stuffs, that would seem to be
essential, too; but from all that the
afflicted public are able to gather,
the trouble would seem to lie deep
er-for it appears to the fellow who
has to buy that the law of supply
and demand has been abolished, and
that the wholesalers and retailers
are fixing prices irrespective of this
economic law. Notwithstanding the
opinions of some southern represen-
tatives, the great majority of the
people are agreed that congress is
doing it's duty in beginning en- inves-

Travel on the main lines of the
railroads, and especially on the lines
touching the mountains, is something
fierce. Between Asheville and Sails
bury, the other day, I saw lady get
on the train with three children, and
before she was halfway in the car,
she had lost one of the twins she had
with her. She found it, of course,
but the incident simply shows the
Inadequate accommodations which
are being provided. And what you
have to payis sufficient for the roads
to furnish accommodations.

The congressional races in the
sixth and seventh districts are yet
to be decided, with second race in
the sixth district between Mr.. Sher-
wood and Mr.. Stoll, and in the sew
enth, between Solicitor George Bell
Zimmerman, of Lexington, and So
licitor Ed. C. Mann, of St. Matthews.
In both districts the vote will prob,
ably be light.
In Charleston the mayors race re-
mains the same, with Mr.. Grace IA

nlittee, and with Mr.. Hyde, the pres
ent mayor, preparing to ask the
court to review the whole matter.

CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP \
(By Jon K. Aull.)

Columbia, Aug. 31.-The good
roads movement in South Carolina
continues to grow in substantial
way. Fairfield county the past week
voted 100000 in bonds for perma-
nent roads, "by an overwhelming
majority" as stated by the Winns-
boro News and Herald. It was only
recently that Richland county voted
in favor of her big bond issue, as
recommendation to the legislative
delegation. Lexington is going ahead
with the building Of that good road
from Lexington to Batesburg. Above
Newberry the counties which have
not already built good roads are get
ting in shape to build them. If New
berry doesn't watch out, she will be
somewhat isolated in the matter of
through highways passing through
the county. With the movement in
full swing all around her, there is
probably no more important matter
that could engage the attention of
the people Of Newberry county at
this time. This is said without any
reflection upon the road-building Of
fcials of Newberry, because what is
meant is that these other counties
are putting up the money with which
their officials can work in the matter
of permanent highways. The day
of temporary make-shifts has gone,
and in this day Of automobiles, that
county is going to be isolated which
does not go into permanent road
work. And in the present financial
condition of the counties of South
Carolina, permanent roads can not
be built without bonds.
There were big crowds around the
bulletin boards of the Columbia
Newspapers yesterday afternoon,
watching the returns, play by play,
of the. baseball game in Charlotte,
between Charlotte and Columbia,
which went twenty innings to tie.
The games in Charlotte will decide
the championship of the South At
lantic league. The baseball fans in
Newberry already know the result of
the games, about as soon as DO the
people in Columbia and Charlotte;
but the matter is called attention to
here for the purpose of the state
ment that the crowds around the
boards are an indication of the fact
that the State is rapidly returning to
normal times, following the war. 1t
was only very few short months
ago that the same kind of crowds
were around the bulletin boards
watching a great German offensive,
which was hurled back, but during
which there were many anxious
hours. In those days people were
too much worried with matters Of
life and death to take sufficient n
teres-to watch bulletin boards fot
baseball game. And the enthusiasm
here yesterday afternoon, in respect
of the great game which was played
in Charlotte, is a very healthy indi-
cation Of a normal return to normal
times.

The general sessions court in
Greenville has been grinding out
death sentences during the past few
days-having imposed four upon
four defendants.
In The case of the State VS. Cos
nell, charged with murder in the
killing of the late Sheriff Rector, the
interesting point has been raised as
to whether the State or the United
States court has jurisdiction. At
torneys for the defendant contend
that the United States court has jur-
isdiction because Gosnell was in the
federal revenue service. Attorneys
for the State contend that the State
court has jurisdiction, Gosnell not
being in the discharge of his duty at
the time he killed Rector. The de-
cision of the point will be watched
with interest.
The Columbia court convenes on
Tuesday, with a heavy docket, the
case of chief interest being that
against Eugene M. Lancaster, who
killed his wife and Newton Lorick,
in an automobile, on the Congaree
river bridge. Lancaster used two re-
volvers. He was a motorcycle Of
ficer on the Columbia police depart
ment.
There will probably be come 10
to 80 cases to- be disposed of.

if it. forces this investigation to a
conclusion, and provides some rem
edy; and, unless conditions are bet
tered in the meantime, that the next
session of the general assembly
could very we'll devote consider
able share of it's attention to this
important matter, affecting every
citizen within the State.
The friends of Clemson college will
be gratified in the report by Presl-
dent Riggs, of its inventory value
of more than two million dollars, it
being stated that "of all the invent
cries submitted by the different in
situations, boards, commissions and
agencies of the State government,
the one prepared by Clemson is uni
que in that it represents the largest
monetary Values" and includes the
fields of service which it does.
Clemson is a great institution, ac-
complishing a great good for the
State and for the South; but it is
also unique in that, being tn elarg-
est collegiate asset Of the State, it is
controlled by board of trustees not
amenable to the State, in that anna
iority of the board are life members,
perpetuated under the Clemson will.
The matter has been considered by
the legislature at several past ses-
sions, and finally, sooner or later,
the State will take over full control
of the institution.
