- Washington, August 18: Expert
cotton classers provided by the Fed
eral Bureau of Markets will be station
ed for the coming season at seven
South Carolina county seats, an
nounces Senator n. B. Dial, who has
been actively interesting himself in
securing this service. This autumn
graders will be stationed not only al
Darlington, Sumter, and Orangeburg
as last year, but also at Laurens, An
derson, Greenwood, and Manning
Funds are derived from three sources
Part Of the money is supplied by the
federal bureau of markets; part is
provided by the national government
under the terms Of the Smith-Lever
act and the remainder is raised locally
by subscription, by county appropria-
tion or otherwise. The number OF
places at which the work can be main
tanned Is limited both by the funds
available and the scarcity of qualified
men. Local cooperation includes not
onlv q considerable cash sum in each
case vraying between $1,000 and s2.-
500 to help pay the grader, but also
grading room, a clerk and provision
for incidental expenses. County agents
and others interested who have inves-
tigated the service as operated last
year at Darlington, Sumter and
Orangeburg have found the experience
entirely satisfactory. NJ. d. Moore
demonstration agent for Laurens
county. wrote Senator Dial that farm
ers of Darlington county told him the
expert classer had been worth to them
many times his salary. Not many
farmers know just what grades of cot
ton they produce. D. w. Watkins OF
Clemson College Is acting director OF
cooperative extension work in agri-
culture and home economics for South
Carolina, is in charge of the cotton
CHASING service Mr.. Watkins has in
formed Senator Dial that all details
have not been completed, but the local
funds have been provided for at Lau-
rens and Manning.

All of the big wholesalers of the
country are denying that they are en-
gagged in boarding food or other pro-
ducts, claiming that their surplus
stocks are only such as are necessar!
to take care of their trade. 1t Is prett!
difficult to get around claim of this
kind. Common sense teaches that In
order to do business a man must
have the goods, and the mere fact Of
surplus does not necessarily evidence
boarding. At the same time, however
the possession of large stocks OF
sugar, coffee, flour, ETC., in the face OF
constantly advancing prices seems tc
indicate very little anxiety to sell.

The drift of the news from Wash
ington seems to be that the United
States is about getting ready to take
q hand in the regulation of Mexico. II
is given out from the state depart
ment that Mexico has been advised
very positively that unless the murder
and outrage of Americans IS discon.
tinued the United States will be forced
% adopt different policy from that
pursued heretofore. AS there Is nc
reasonable probability that Mexico car
be any different from what she has
been, it naturally follows that the
United States will soon be taking
charge in Mexico.

WITHIN THE TOWN

Work on the plant of the Peoples
Warehouse Company has been some
what DELAYED during the past two
weeks because of the freight embargo
on the railroads.; but the contractors
now have assurance that the brick,
which were purchased from Mr.. w. N.
Ashe at Van Wyck, will now be
forthcoming without further delay.
Mr.. George C. Cartwright has ac-
cepted the position of bookkeeper and
assistant manager of the Yorkville
Cotton Oil Company to succeed Mr..
w. w. Ferguson, who Is now member
of the firm of Ferguson & Youngblood.
Mr.. Cartwright has recently returned
from overseas after serving with the
American Expeditionary forces. He Is
expected to arrive at his home IN
Yorkville within the next few days and
will soon thereafter take up his new
duties.
Rev. ]. L. Oates, pastor Of the
Associate Reformed church preached
a most striking sermon last Sunday
morning. II was somewhat political,
somewhat social and economic; but
most decidedly Christian. His text was
from jeremiah will. 22-"Is there no
balm In Gilead? Is there no physician
there? why then Is not the health OF
the daughter Of thy people recovered?"
In, the application of the text Mr.. Oates
explained how the Israelites in their
prosperity had wandered off from the
teachings Of God. and when trouble
came on them how they had sought
the help of the Egyptians, Of various
idols of wood and stone, and everything
but the true God, their only source OF
refuge and strength. q Old Jeremiah
was seeking to impress the fact that a
return to the true God was the only
thing that could cure the Ills OF his
people. Taking comprehensive coSni-
zance Of the condition Of the world,
including America today, Mr.. Oates
declared that the one thing now need
tul Is that the leaders among the
preachers and teachers should, like
Jeremiah of old, devote themselves to
impressing the people that the only
hope for the rest, relief, peace and
quiet for which they arc now looking
lay in turning toward Almighty God
and living in obedience to his teach

A. ]. Devoe, New York weather
prognosticator, known as the sage OF
Hackensack," says there will be a de-
structive hurricane along the coast OF
South Carolina on August 25. The rec
ords of all the past bear out the COM
ing of storms on the South Carolina
cost along about the last week OF Au-
gust, sometimes a little earlier and
sometimes little later. Devoe IS
probably only a guesser; but the next
week or two will tell Of the accuracy
of his guesses.

That statement Of the American
Cotton association that is published
elsewhere today, is both interesting and
important 1t shows that the profits OF
the cotton manufacturer are far out of
proportion to the profits Of the cotton
producer. and by rights there should be
a readjustment. But in this rea dust
ment the cotton mill operative also
must be remembered. The cotton pro,
ducer is not now getting anything like
what he is entitled to, not compared
with what the manufacturer is receiv-
ing, and the claims Of the mill opera
tive are very nearly on an equality
with the cotton producer. A proper
settlement of the problem involves JUS
tice to the producer, the operative, the
manufacturer and the public, and no
settlement that does not satisfy all four
Of these elements is likely to stand.

GREAT ESTATE PAID BUT S11.39 TAXES
 ID C|TY LAST YEAR

In spite of the immense wealth pos sessed by A. B. Dunlap, aged recluse who died here few weeks ago, the city of Phoenix did not collect any great amount Of taxes from him. He was listed on the city assessment roll for $1,075 and paid last year a total tax to the city amounting to $1139.
 The only property he listed with the city was his household goods, office furniture and an automobile.
 The exact amount of inheritance tax due the state from the estate has not been figured as yet by State Treasurer Ross. as the papers in the case have not reached him.
 MT. Ross stated yesterday that he had not received ia copy of the will or of the appraisal of the property, and until he did so it would not be neces- sary to take any action in order to col lect the tax AS soon as the superior court has finished probating the will, it, together with copy of the apprais- al.will be turned over to the state treas urer and he will collect the states share.
 That it will be large sum, is the opinion of Mr. Ross. The law provides that per cent will be collected on that share of an estate left to near relatives, such as children, per cent 10 bn col lected on legacies to distant relatives and per cent on all legacies made to other than relatives

GILBERT PEOPLE ARE
 HOME FROM AUTO TRIP LASTING TWO MONTHS

GILBERT, Aug. 22-Mr. and Mrs. ? C. Pitcher returned Tuesday of this week from a two months auto trip and are now at their place of business. the Gilbert Pharmacy. They journey ed first to Los Angeles, then to the Yosemite valley. through Tioga pass into Nevada, and back to Lake Tahoe.
 The trip was made leisurely, stop ping whenever and wherever they feltl disposed and having due consideration to the faithful car on the long noun tain grades that they encountered. Six-f mile long hills were not uneom mon, with the grades plenty steep. However, the worst trouble came to the motorists going down those sameI hills, and it was on these down grades that engine trouble was caused most often. At Yosemite they found 6,000l tourists, and the highway was dotted with cars going and coming. Tahoe they found very quiet, the resorts clustered round the lake appearing al- most deserted. a condition said Mc. Pitcher, very different from three years ago when he last visited the place.
 The tourists are glad to be home though they state that they enjoyed every day of the 5000 mile trip. They brought with them an interesting col lection of photos taken enroute, one of which shows Ms. Pitcher stand ing in the snow on July day.
