UNION ROUTE FOUR

The farmers on this route are all
busy in the fields. Some have been
replanting their cotton while some of
the more fortunate ones are thinning
cotton.
Moxy, agree with you and the edi-
tor. too think that every farmer
should be a member of the cotton
association. The cost of everything
is So high, and it is almost impossible
to get hired help on the farm, the
farmers ought to have a better price
for what they have to sell.

THE GROCER'S BOY

:. Charles Dickens and other mid-Vic-
torians were very fond of the tousled-
headed grocer's boy. He was pictured
generally as overworked, underpaid
and altogether imposed upon, when
not imposing upon, but yet rather
likable and essential factor in social
and trade economies. In America he
very often has the dignity, Importance
and title of clerk.
Must he go? eyes," reply several
persons who are meking startling adj
vances in the retailing of food. One
store at Rochester, New York, is now
doing retail grocery business of
about a million dollars year, with
out the aid of the groter's boy or the
grocer's clerk. A large number of
other boyless and clerkless grocery
stores have sprung up in the last few
years and are making a success of it.

"The relution of the situation to-
day lies in the hands of the? farmer.
Clothes are necessary, but food must
come first. appeal to you as pat

my native state-and it is the great
est state in the union; l love every

Mr.. Wannamaker complimented the
people of school districts Nos. 8 and
10 for the splendid manner in which
they have rallied to the support of
the American Cotton association. He
told them that the association was
making progress and predicated that
the time was coming when the spin
ners of New England would be COM
ing to the South begging the farmers
for their cotton. He declared that too
long the farmer had been forced to
beg the spinners to take his cotton.
The tables are going to be reversed.
"For sc year." said Mr.. Wanna
maker, 1--WE have trod the wine press.
The law Of equal opportunity is now
knocking at our door. Under the
organization of the American Cotton
Association the door will be opened;

will be the main contributing factor

4 Golu1ihaA May "a 2 "A very earnest
plea To tho farmers to grow more
foodsttffs and save the nation. was
made BY j. Skottowe Wannamaker
president Of the American Cotton
Association, yesterday in an address
delivered at barbecue given by men,
.bers of the Richland county branch of
the American Cotton association liv-
ing in school districts Nos. 8 and 10.
The barbecue was given in the sand
hills near Eastover and was very
largely attended by the people living
in the two school districts, several
hundred being present.
Mr.. Wannamaker who was the
only speaker, was introduced by r. C..
Hamer, president of the Richland
county branch of the South Carolina
division of the American Cotton As
sociation, and made what many who
heard him declare to have been the
gest speech they have ever heard him
make. It was a strong plea to the
farmer to do his part towards tiding
the country over the present period of
reconstruction.
"The history Of the world" said
Mr. Wannamaker, has been that when
a country neglects its production end,
its government perishes. We must
not let that state of affairs exist in
America. We have to to pay more
attention however, to agriculture in
this great country if We prevent it
from going to ruin. There are mil
lions of people to be fed. Their food
must come from the farms. There
is great shortage in foodstuffs. The
shortage is threatening our country.

Ito organize. a marketing association

other counties had done this and the
farmers had saved lots of money.
Arrangements have been perfected by
the American Cotton association and
the department Of agriculture to se-
cure a grader for every county that
wishes one.
On Terms Of Equality
"The producer who sells cotton"
said Mr.. Wannamaker, SHOULD be
placed on terms of equality in every
respect with the buyer who purchases
it. This includes more than at first
sight might appear. Among other
things, the producer should have equal
information with the buyer, the law
affecting the buying, and selling of
cotton should be poised in equal
justice between the producer and the
buyer. Commercial machinery which
in any way affects the marketing of
cotton should be so regulated as to
give the buyer and seller an equal
chence. The producer should have
the benefit of organization to the
same extent as the buyer. Investi-
CATION by the department Of agriclu-
ture in primary cotton markets has
shown some very interesting results.
Thousands of samples nave been
classified and information obtained as
to the prices which they have receiv-
ed for their cotton. The prices paid
on the SAME market OH the same grade
OF cotton on the same day varied
81. to SIS bale and cotton of one and
an eight length of staple has sold for
considerable less than cottor of three
quarter length of staple. This means
that the farmer has not been getting
the value of his cotton. 1t is clear
that the individual farmer can not
solve the trouble alone; throught the
American Cotton association he can
form cooperative marketing associat-
ions, employ high class technical men
who can class and staple his cotton
and secure the best market for the
same"
Mr.. Wannamaker touchingly told of
conditions which prevailed in the
South following the Confederate war,
and his voice broke as he declared
that the doors of the school house
were closed to him when he was Is
years of age because of the low price
OF cotton. He said that this should
and would never happen in the South
again. The South, he said, has a
monopoly on cotton and the farmers
will see to it that they get price for
it which will be enable them to live
decently, to educate their children,
have good roads good schools, good
churches and enjoy the comforts Of
