ABBEVILLE HAS
COTTON GRADER
Farmers of Anderson County Have
Not Accepted the Plan Offered
By Byers.

At meeting of the Abbeville coun
ty farmers last week it was decided
that the services of a cotton grader
IS needed at that place and move
ment was begun which ended IN the
expenses of a grader for the period
of year being secured. The grader
has already been obtained and the
farmers of Abbeville county are as
sured that their cotton will be pro-
perly graded and that will receive
strict middling prices for that grade
of cotton and not have any buyer or
set of buyers cheating him by say
ing that the cotton is not good mid
ding when it is.
The securing of cotton grader at
Abbeville is one of the results of An
derson county having had grader in
the past. Letters that bespoke the
good work that was done here by the
market association and the cotton
grader have been publishec in the
daily papers of this city and that in,
formation has penetrated the dark
uess that has been over any person
ir Abbeville who might have been
prejudiced against grader and the
work Of securing a grader was be-
gun and accomplished.
The question that is before the
farmers of Anderson county today IS
whether or not they are going to Sc
cure the services of a cotton grader
for the fall marketing. The business
men of this city have signed cor
tract. agreeing to pay half the cX-
penses of the grader provided the
farmers will pay the other half. 1t
has been decided that the grader
would be allowed to charge a small!
fee for grading cotton, which would
aid in defraying the graders en-
penses. It has been placed squarely
before the farmers and they can de-
eide now or wait until they have suf-
fere1 heavy loss on another crop, by
which time it is safe to say they
will need no encouragement in 60
ing "ffty-ffty" with the business
men in securing the grader.-Daily

RAILWAY RATES
WILL BE RAISED
To Take Care of Increased Wages
Will Soon Cost More to Travel
Says Thorn in Statement

Washington, July 22.-Milk and
passenger transportation are to bear
substantial portions of the rate in
crease to be asked by the railroads of
the interstate commerce commission
to offset the S6OO,OOO,O00 additional
expense caused by the IaDor boards
award, it was announced today by A,
P. Thorn, general counsel for the as
sociation of railway executives.
After two days of continuous con-
ferences the executives, Mr.. Thorn
said, have practically completed rec
ommendation to be submitted to the
commission for spreading the in
creased expense to the roads over
passenger and freight traffic.
The recommendation probably will
lie presented to the commission TO-
morrow.
Passenger fares and rates. are not
included in the pending application
of the roads for freight rate in
crease of approximately 2o per cent

Transportation Of milk on which nc
increase has heretofore been asked is
considered as combination of
freight and passenger traffic, Mr.
'Ehom added. Express ra-es also
will be expected to bear part of the
Increased burden, he stated.
The portion of the increased ex,
pense to be absorbed by passengers
is expected to be about IL in the
East and from ga to 1 cen; a mile
in the West. The portion to be ap'
piled to freight would amount to s
per cent. total of about Sc per cent
in increased freight rates to be
sought by the roads.

ceived 90 cents in change, besides
small purchase, which, if anything
adds to the meanness of the crime.
Coroner Jenkins conducts a small
store in Leslie, near here, and the
paper alleged to have been passed
upon him for money had evidently
been wet and dried by some pro-
cess, which gave it the feel of the
muchly desired. Otis denies he is
guilty, but Deputy Sheriff S.. L..
Cox, who arrested him, says he has
ample evidence of the negro's
guilt.

WHY WOOD STAYED AT HOME

From George Creel's book on
"The War, the World and Wilson"
the following is taken:
General Wood was not sent to
France for the very good reason
that General Pershing,, commander
of the American Expeditionary
Forces, did not ask to have him
sent, plain indication that lie was
neither needed nor wanted in
France. The decision was not the
decision of the President nor the
Secretary of War nor the Chief of
Staff, but the weighed judgment of
General Pershirg, the soldier Sc
lected for the high post of field
command, and given full power
even as he was held to full re-
sponsibility. All the Generals in
charge of American training camps
were sent to France in the summer
of 1917, not only that they might
see for themselves the goal to which
they were pointed, the style Of
fighting, and the kind of soldiers
that would have to be made, but
equally for the purpose of permit
ting General Pershing to pass upon
their personalities, character and
abilities. The Generals returned, ap-
piled themselves to the work OF
turning raw boys into fit defenders
mad in due time Pershing sent to
the Chief-of-Staff list of the
commanders that he desired to ac-
company their divisions to France
when the stage of embarkation
should be reached. The name of
General Wood was not on the list"
tt was Pershing, not Wilson, who
kept Wood at home, just as it was
the General Staff, not the President
that vetoed Col. Roosevelt's request
that he be permitted to lead vol
unteer division to France. Still, we
don't suppose these facts make any
difference. The President will have
to go on bearing the blame just
the same.-News and Courier.

Raised q Runt Pig
 Into q Prize Winner

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. l9.-Rais- ing runt pig into prize winning animal was the first experience of Edwin T. Meredith, publisher and business man, nominated by Presi- dent Wilson to be secretary of agri- culture. The pig was given MT. Mer- edith by his father, then a storekeep- e, when the family lived near At lantic, Iowa. MT. Meredith was 13 years old at the time. His father told him that if he raised the pig he could have the profits. He rais- cd the animal into big, healthy hog.
 Later the Meredith family moved to a farm near Marne, Iowa. It was here the young man received his first actual experience in farming.
 When 19 years old young Meredith came to Des Moines to continue his schooling. He paid his board to his grandfather, Thomas Meredith, with

 monye he earned by odd jobs while attending Highland Park College. Thimas Meredith published the Farmers Tribune, a political paper, and young Meredith when 21 years old went to work for his grandfather at $8 week. The grandfather de- cided to sell the paper and it was purchased by Mrs. Meredith and a printer. The printer partner soon sold out and MT. Meredith became the sole owner of the Farmers Fri bune. In October, 1902 the name of the publication was changed to Sue cessful Farming. The first edition of Successful Farming contained 16 pages. The February edition this year contains PTS pages of reading matter. A number of other maga- zines are published under his direc- tion.
 MT. Meredith is democrat and in 1916 was defeated for governor of Iowa by w. L. Harding, republican.
 During the war Mir. Meredith was one of the $1 a year men serving the government. He was a member of the United States labor commission sent to Europe in 1918. He is di- rector of the federal reserve bank in Chicago and also president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World
