pass upon the cotton.
There is this further reason for

Is cents bale in a county that pro-
duces 10000 bales as does Union
County. If half the cotton passes
through the cotton graders hands,
then it would be 80 cents a bale. 1t
seems to us that any farmer would be
glad to pay 80 cents per bale for the
satisfaction of knowing exactly the
quality of the cotton he has to offer.
He might have considerable cotton
that would have superior staple and
hence be worth very much more than
ordinary cotton. Anyway, it is worth
something to know the facts in the
case. Moreover, the cotton associa-
ton, Clemson College, the state ware
house commission and the United
States government have put their ap-
proval upon the cotton grader prop
osition. There must be some value in
such move, so endorsed.
In our humble judgment it would
be very poor business on the part of
all concerned to turn such a PROPOSE
ton down. We say, let us have the
cotton grader. He will help and not
hurt any party concerned in the buy
ing and selling of cotton. If he does
nothing else, he will tend to build mu-
tual confidence, and that spells ad-
vancement.

Among important early arrivals due
were George White chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee and
Senator Harrison of Mississippi. head
OF the speakers bureau. They were
expected to announce respectively, the
special campaign committee and the
Governor first speech making itin-
erary, after approval by the candi-
date.
With Governor Cox's acceptance ad-
dress In type for tomorrow afternoons
newspapers, speculation increased to-
day regarding the brief but important
insert he has announced would be
Forthcoming tomorrow. The Govern
or continued to hold it secret. Specu-
lation on it's message centered prin-
cipally in three subjects, a possible
challenger to Senator Harding, his
Republican opponent, for Joint debate
of the league of nations, or a definite
announcement regarding the prohibi-
ton issue.
Democratic leaders here seemed
agreed that the league undoubtedly
would be the great campaign battle
ground and awaited with keen interest
in the address of Governor Cox which,
he has announced, will be So plain
that school children may understand.
His promises for an aggressive and Of
fensive campaign carried personally
to the people from coast to coast also
apparently found unanimous favor.
Besides the interest of himself and
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the vice pres
idential candidate, Governor Cox is
planning to carry with the national
ticket Democratic congress. On the
league issue, close advisers say he
feels that it will be definitely settled
in the November balloting for Presi-
dent and Senators.
The people will speak so plainly as
to compel a final settlement of the
league and treaty controversy, the
Governors friends say he believes re-
gardless of the actual partisians line
up of the senate. In this connection,
attention was directed to the Govern
or's statement yesterday expressing
the expectation that former President
Taft would work for Republican can
dadites for the senate who favor the
league.
The Governor is scheduled to be-
gin tomorrow's address about three
o'clock, several hours after newspaper
publication of his address in most To-
calities. The parade of visiting dele
cations, expected to aggregate about
$4,000, is to start from Montgomery
County Fair grounds about o'clock.
A review of the Pilgrims by the Gov
ernor and Mr.. Roosevelt, and Senator
Robinson's notification addresses are
to precede the Governors. Many
special trains and automobile caravans
are scheduled to arrive early tomor-
row. Uniformed Democrat Clubs and
