AGAIN FLOODING THE CITY.

Col. ]. D. Kerr, of the Emporium,
has returned to the city after skir-
mishing around the country and Wis
iting everybody who allowed the
latch-string to hang outside. He re-
ports grand and glorious time, and
claims that everybody was glad to see
him. First he rode right through
Washington, and hitched his horse to
the rack in front of Baltimore, where
halls one Marston, who is not the
man who corrupted Hadleyburg,
because he was never there, but a
bad man withal.
After eating square meal in Bal
timore and measuring the fronts of
all furniture stores in the city to de-
termine whether, as he says, they had
"a wider expanse of business" than
the Emporium, he invited Marston
to take him up the river to Unbana,
where Marston's brother owns
"plantation," with a sure enough Vir-
ginia home on it, sixteen bedrooms
upstairs, running water in every
room (which did not interest the
Colonel so much), and with the pam
try full of Smithfeld and other Vir-
ginia hams Ia matter which did in
terest him however). Before he
finished with them, Mr.. Marston also
became interested in the question Of
whether he would be able to make
buckle and tongue meet towards the
end of the year. The Colonel also
visited the local newspaper offices
and handed in the following bit of
local news which he asked printed in
the next issue:
Distinguished Visitor in Urbana.
"Col. John Davis Kerr, cousin of
Joe Wheeler, born in Winnsboro, s..

gons, Presbyterian, is in the city fo1
a few days visiting friends, who are
anxious for him to stay a few days
longer, which he may do if they
keep on asking him"
From Urbana the Colonel rode
down to Washington, where he was
to meet Col. E. C. Horton, who paid
his way to Washington to buy Sec
ond hand Ford and for the privilege
of riding home in it with Col. Kerr.
On his arrival in Washington, Col.
Kerr was met by the porter Of the
Raleigh Hotel, and his baggage car
ried up to a room on the 18th floor
which he soon occupied. On reach
ing the capital city he bought a news
paper, getting one of the Washington
dailies when he found that all the
copies of the Press and Banner had
been taken. He soon learned that
there was riot on in the city and
that men were walking around shoot
ing people right and left, so he call
ed on the clerk and asked that his
room be moved from the 18th to the
10Th. (top) floor, the bell-boy having
told him that no shots would reach
that high up. He Immediately re-
paired to his room locked the door,
and telephoned down to the clerk
that he was in executive session un-
til the fight was over, and he did not
wish to be called until then.
He tells us that there was fierce
fight, but he did not know any Of
the participants. He does not think
that Jim Baker nor DR.. Harvin were
in it, but he saw a man who looked
like Woodrow Wilson Looping down
Pennsylvania Avenue on a democrat
ic ass, with something in his hand
which he took for sword or the
league of nations, he did not know
which.

upon supply and demand figures pro-
cured by officers Of the association.
"The Association" said J. Skot-
towe Wannamaker, president, yes
terday, els determined that under no
condition will its members again
produce cotton for the purpose of
piling up surpluses which have been
usel by the New England and for
eign spinners for the purpose of beat
ing down prices, creating distressed
cotton and forcing the producer to
part with his cotton below the cost
of production. The farms of the
South will be operated upon a busi-
ness bass, sufficient food and feed
crops will be planted for the con-
sumption of the producer and the
local markets, cotton being planted
only as a surplus crop.
"The campaign or State owned
and State controlled warehouses will
be pushed in every county in the
cotton belt.
! Temporary offices have been es-
tablished in Atlanta. Members of
the Association are making sacrifices
of time and means to push to COM
pletion this organization as they
realize that no sacrifice is too great
that it can be used as an excuse for
not giving freely of time and service
in this great cause.
"a meeting of the special board
on organization will be held in At
lanta on August 4th.
South Carolina Campaign.
South Carolina will be the first
State in the cotton belt to organize.
The preliminary preparations for
the campaign in this State are al
ready being made under the direc-
tion of B. F. Mcleod, a well known
business man of Charleston, who is
State manager and A. A. Protzman,
organization director. MIR. Protzman

ness. Confidence is expressed by
Mr.. Protzman that the drive for
membership in the South Carolina
Cotton Association will be success.
I apprehend that we will have no
difficulty in showing the farmer, the
merchant, the banker, and the pro-
fessional business man that the per-
fection of the organization of the
cotton association will mean much
to the South" said Mr.. Protzman
yesterday. "The Association has a
very ambitious program. If carried
out it will result in untold benefit
not alone to the cotton producer but
to the other people of the South as
we'll.
Farmers, bankers, merchants, and
professional men of the South will
be asked to join the Association.
Meetings Scheduled.
Meetings for next Wednesday and
Thursday have been scheduled in
Greenville Spartanburg and Ander-

The meeting at Anderson will be

PLANS FOR ORGANIZATION
OF ENTIRE COTTON BELT

Columbia, S. c., July 27.-The
delegation from South Carolina
which attended the meeting in At
Ianta on Wednesday and Thursday of
the Board of Directors of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association returned de-
lighted with the progress made in the
organization of that body. An enor-
nous amount of constructive work,
they say, was accomplished at the
Atlanta meeting.
Contracts were made by the direc-
tors and complete plans mapped out
for the organization of the entire
cotton belt. Whirlwind membership
campaigns will be conducted in each
State by expert organizers. The or
kanization of the entire belt will, be
directed from Atlanta, which was
chosen as campaign headquarters,
after a stiff fight between that city,
Memphis and Dallas.
The organization of the Associa-
ton will extend down to the school
districts and townships. The Ameri-
can Cotton Association will be the
organization covering the entire belt
while each State will have State
association, which will be an integral
part of the American Association.
The South Carolina Cotton Associa-
ton will be the name of the State
association in South Carolina and it
will have representation in the Am
erican Association, which will be the
parent body.
, Plans of Association.
Plans were made by the directors
of the Association for the launching
of the ambitions program for the
bettement of the cotton producers
of the South. A mammoth meeting
with representatives from every
county in the entire cotton belt will
be held probably early in September
for the purpose of receiving reports
on supply and demand, agreeing on
a minimum price at which the grow
ing cotton crop will be sold, agreeing
upon acreage to be planted in cotton

NATIONWIDE DRIVE TO
IMPROVE ALL LIVE STOCK

"Better Sires-Better Stock"
This is the slogan Of national
better livestock crusade, to get act
lively in motion October /, that is
announced by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, working in
cooperation with the State agricui
tural colleges and other agencies in
terested in livestock Improvement.
The campaign looks forward to the
future food needs of this country's
increasing population and results
from long mad careful observation Of
the livestock industry in this coun-
try, and was planned after extensive
consultation, with specialists and
breeders. The plan is to hasten the
replacement Of the multitude OF
scrub domestic animals in the United
States with pure-bred or high-grade
stock, and also to improve the quail
ty of pure breds themselves. The
goal in view is greater efficiency in
production.
The campaign will be the first or
ganized crusade in large country to
improve all livestock simultaneously.
It will interfere in no way with any
work in livestock Improvement now
being conducted, but makes all the
work more definite and effective by
providing official recognition for pros
gressive breeders.

''If the entente is determined to
