Members

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 9,-Plans for
the whirlwind membership campaign

Cotton Association the last Of this
month provide for a mass meeting
to be held in every co1nty IN, the
State during the four days period

b. r. Mcleod, State manager, has
secured a number of the very best
speakers in the State for these mass
meetings. They are men who are in

these meetings. Mr.. Mcleod states
that he will within a few days pre-
pare the itinerary for the speakers
and will advise each of the county
chairmen the date fixed for the meet
ing in his county and the speakers
for his county.
The prospects for success Of ethe
membership campaign in South Caro-
lima are exceedingly bright, declared
Mr. Mcleod today. South Carolina
will rally splendidly to the support
Of the cotton association he said,
because our people know Of the
ma agnificent work it has done. We
hope to secure a minimum OF $4,000
members in this state. I believe we
will not be disappointed. Every farTn-
er, merchant, banker and professional
man in the State is asked to join
and we believe that most of them will.
Tie organization of the farmers, naer1,
chants. bankers and professional naens
Of the South offers to this section the
greatest opportunity it has ever had.
The dues for membership in the
association from date Of application
for membership to January l, 1871,
will be rs cents per bale of cotton
produced in 1917, and 25 cents per
thousand dollars capital invested III

ness. banks or manufacturing plants.
Professional men will pay So each.
The dues for 1921 and 1922 will be
10 cents per bale of cotton and 70
cents per thousand dollars capital per
annum. The dues will include the

BUILDING WORK
is At MINIMUM
City Inspector Has Little to Do
When 1t Comes to Issuing Per-
mits for Construction

Work of c. V. Johnson, city build
ing inspector, has been cut to the
minimum with reference to the in
vestigation and issuing Of building
permits for new construction pro-
iects. But one permit has been is
sued since Dec. 10, on which date
the inspector gave out the last list
of permits.
From Dec. 1 to Dec. 10 five per
mits were issued, which shows a
vast decrease in the number issued
in the month of November, although
the number issued in that month
was considerably under that of the
months previous.
The last building permit was is
sued Dec. 20 to F. NJ. B. Chambers
for J. Blake, 226 Twenty-frst street,
and is for remodeling Job at an
estimated cost of 1920.
Local building activities were
practically totally curtailed by the
government order last August that
no work costing in excess of $4,000
should be begun on account of the
war. This order was enforced by
the non-war construction bureau
Of the state council of defense.
The order was lifted Immediately
after the armistice had been signed.
and although no large amount of
construction work is carried on
through the winter months, a con-
siderable less amount is being car
ried on this winter than is usual.
