19 Cotton Graders
Named BY Clemson
Mr.. L. w. Tutt For Abbeville
County-Number of Other
Counties Have Made Appli-
cation For Graders

Clemson College, Sept. 3.-The
extension service of Clemson Col
lege, acting for the Bureau of Mar
kets and the South Carolina Cotton
association, has appointed nineteen
official cotton graders for as many
counties in South Carolina. These
graders are to give disinterested in
formation to- farmers and cotton
buyers concerning the grade and
ength of staple of cotton presented
to the grader for that purpose. The
standards of the Bureau of Mar
kets will of course be used in this
work. The work is supported largely
by the local County Cotton associa-
tions, and, in many istances small
fee per bale will be charged to help
meet the expenses of the grading
work.
A point of Importance to know is
that the graders will be of service
and value not only to the cotton
market at the town in which tho
graders are located, but also to the
other cotton growers of the county
and the section. Farmers from other
parts Of the county may bring or
send samples of their cotton to the
official grader, and thus get the
benefit of his service.
The list of official graders so far
appointed is given below. 1t will be
noted that two graders are retained
in Kershaw county, the grader at
Kershaw being stationed there pri-
marily to serve Lancaster county
while the one at Camden is to serve
Kershaw county. Quite a number OF
other counties have applied fo,
graders, and it is possible that few
other appointments may be made
even this late, but it is announced

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. c.-Ad-

noon, DR.. John A. Todd, English
economist, declared the law of sup
ply and demand most ultimately
govern the price of cotton, ''but at
present this law is imperative be-

Europe" he said.
European countries are unable to
buy what they need at the prevail
ing rates of exchange, the speaker
declared and the situation is fur
ther depressed by the shortage #
coal, industrial troubles and general
instability of governments.
He strongly advised developing
the better grades of cotton, which
India does not produce, harvesting
and marketing it better in the fu-
ture as some of the remedies to
bring about better prices.
Spirited attacks were launched on
the federal reserve bank and the de-
partment of justice by W. c. Coker

clared they were discriminating
against the cotton raiser in the in

NO RELIEF FROM HIGH PRICES
SEEN UNLESS UNITED STATES
TAKES CONTROL AS IN WAR
TIMES. ECONOMIC AUTHoRI.
TY WARNS OF WIDESPREAD
CONFLICT UNLESS CONDI-
TIONS ARE AMELIORATED.

Washington, Sept. 2.-High prices
have not yet reached their peak and
the cost of living, instead of declin-
ing, will shoot up as winter ap-
-proaches, according to W. j. Lauck,,
consulting economist for the United
Mine Workers and the railroad un-
ions and one of Americas foremost
authorities on economic problems.
He sees no relief from high prices
unless Congress does two things: s
Restores wartime control over the
railroads, coal, food and clothing
necessities. =,
Enacts an industrial code to es-i
tablish industrial peace.
Conditions SeriouS
"Unless living conditions are
ameliorated," he warned, "wide-
spread industrial conflict may re-
lsult.p Is
The greatest menace with which
the country is confronted today, not
only industrially, but politically and
socially .as we'll, arises from the
pressure of living costs, he says.
During the hearing of the wage
case of the railroad unions last
May I told the railroad labor board
that family Of five required
minimum annual income of $250Ol
to live in any sort of comfort. At the.
ipresent scale Of prices a family Of
five needs more than $2,7O0 year
to maintain itself with minimum
comfort.
''The price Of coal should be re-
duced at least s1.s5 per ton as re-
suit of the wage award of the an
|thracite coal commission, but any
belief that coal prices will drop is
deception. We may expect higher
coal prices next winter. Shameless
profiteering can not be stopped ex-
lcept by government control of fuel
exercised through a strong admin
stration.
Railroads Helpless
"Even with their $1,500,000,0 900
ate increase the railroads can not
estore efficient operation. They are
too far. gone for rehabilitation un-
der private ownership. They will
not be able to get enough cars either
to move coal or the new crop. -.
"Only Congress can give US relief
from high prices" continued the
economist. Government control
under it's wartime powers is the one
and only remedy for the profiteer-
ing evil. The housing problem, for
instance, can not be solved until the
government controls the price Of
building materials.
"There is only one thing to be
done-Congress must provide an ac-
cepted basis of procedure in indus
try. It must enact at once an indus
trial code promulgating fundamen-
al principles to govern relations be-
tween capital and labor and create
the necessary machinery for the ap-
plication of those principles"

San Francisco. As the years have
passed. the time has gradually been

thus making efforts to reduce train
time. sineeJt indicates they are
awake and trying to give better
service. But the most important
thing is not these few fast rains
that save time for wealthy tourists
and business men.
The most essential thing is effic-
lent and speedy delivery of freight
so that production shall not be
held up because freight ears move
so slowly. The business of the
business community would gladly
give up its fast passenger fiiers. II
they could swap them for speed

FATHER ASKS POLICE TO
AID IN SEARCH OF SON
Fourteen Year Old Ebert
Dickert Missing From Home
Since July 25.

Was 14-year-o Ebert Dickert, of
2lO fremont street, North Chattanooga.
robbed and then thrown into the Ten
nessee river in order that watery
grave might forever seal his lips?
HIS father, r. E, Dickert, called on
the police Monday afternoon to aid in
seeking an answer to the above queS-
tion.
A fun description of the boy, who has
been missing since July 25, was fur
hlshed by the police and the sheriff's
once by the father. He expressed the
belief that his son had been thrown
into the river.
When the boy left home he had 80
or $15 on his person, and information
that has come to his father strength
ened his suspicion that Ebert was
robbed and then drowned. Two boy
companions, the father has been told,
have been arrested and lodged in the
county Jail for stealing. but not from
his boy.A The three, he said he had
learned, were seen together near the
north end Of the Market street bridge.
Mr. Dickert stated that Ebert had
not left home before, had not given
him any trouble and he could not ac-
count for his absence Unless something
had happened to him.
The boy weighs about 139 pounds has
light hair, blue eyes and Is freckle-
faced. When last seen he was wearing
dark pants "A blue shirt and soldier hat
The youths he was seen with were pay
mates.
Ebert's father has talked TO one OF
the boys. but stated Tuesday that ne
obtained no information that would
throw any hight on the whereabouts OF
his son.
