HOPE TO STIMULATE BUYING IN
BAN ON LAST-MINUTE ORDERS
Hit on Plan to Curtail Produc-
tion to Meet Only Actual Demands.
Mills Keep Busy.

couragement is felt over the fact
that this increased demand seems
certain to be maintained, as il is
based not on improved sentiment"
but on absolute necessity. Improve
ment at the mills is most marked in
the case of steel sheets. Operations
at the United States Steel Corpora
tion and independent sheet mills have
been increasing since July Is. and
production now is at least 33 1-3 per
cent greater than at the low point
reached a month ago.
In tubular goods there also has
been decided improvement since July
Is. and the increased production
rests bn orders and specifications re-
quiring prompt shipment. There was
a squirt in wire products the latter
part of July. while the usual sea
sonal demand for fall distribution by
jobbers now is gaining headway.
The demand for increased tonnage
in merchant bars is decidedly broader
coming from all sections of the
country, and from all classes of con-
sumers. Jobbers are ordering car
loads at more frequent intervals.
Striking members of building trades
unions here are showing an inclina
tion to return to work. The stone
rnasons and bricklayers have reached
compromise agreement with the
contractors.

VICTOR DOG LISTENS, TO
HIS MASTERS VOICE IN GREECE

The Echo, the popular music house
on North Main Street, has added an
other distinction to its list. 1t has
shipped Victrola and number of
records to Greece. The instrumnt was
bought by Kapetanakas Bros. of the
Royal Cafe and is to be sent as a
gift to Mr.. Creostas P. Kapetanakas,
Village Polivichia, State Lacona,
Sparta, Greece. When the purchase
was being made, the salesman at the
Echo suggested that a talking ma
chine could be sent with less expense
from their shipping house in England.
But he was told that only Victrola,
made at Camden, N. j., and display
ing the world famous white dog lis
tening to "His Masters Voice" would
be acceptable. Besides the Victrola
an excellent selection of operate and
Greek rcords were shipped.
The people of the Greek colony
in Abbyille take little interest in the
popular 'jazz," and are among. the
few music lovers of Abbeville who
prefer high class mHeic sung by Gel
brated artists to noise of the saxa-
phone and trombone in modern rag
time. 1t is reported by the Echo ex-
perts that they buy more good rec
ords than any other people in town.

ON THE MAP AGAIN

King George, formerly of Cotton
Row, but lately in exile, where he
has been helping Supervisor Kellar
knock some knots off the roads Of
the county, has returned to the
scenes of his former greatness. He
reports to us that he does not like
the public works, and should his SER
vices be needed again by the county
he hopes it willtbe on the county
farm where things are more 70 his
liking.
The King is done with the boot
leggers and the liquor business for
all the time, and he wants the people
to know it. He. has taken his medi-
cine even though it didn't taste
good, and he comes back to be a
law-abiding citizen, and he hopes to
make the people see that good man
can stay good. He doesn't want to be
even door-keeper in the liquor
business and had rather raise cotton
now at ten cents than to get rich by
questionable routes.
He had consulted his old friend,
Col. R. W. Smith, on how to get
good and stay good. Dote tells him
that if he will deliver about twelve
of fifteen blocks of ice to the Gus
toners on his route for a day or two,
he will be content to sleep at night
rather than haul liquor. He thinks
too that Mrs. Pritchard might hold a
little tighter rein on George knowing
from experience that if a man is
properly bossed he will be able to
eat three meals g. day but not get
much thirsty. He suggests that
George buy fish every day or two
at the fish market on South Main,
good fish meat helping he says to
make man look handsome, feel
good, and act like a Sunday school
scholar.

MUCH INTEREST
IN MARKETING
Campaign for Signatures TO Cooper
atiye Contract to Begin Mid
die of July-Price of Cot.
ton Must Go Higher.

Columbia, June est will prob
ably be around the middle Of July
before the actual campaign for sig
natures to the cooperative market
ing contract will begin, according to
an announcement made today by K.
C. Hamer, president of the South
Carolina Division of the American
Cotton Association. 1t had been
hoped, he said, to begin the canvass
for signatures to the contracts at a
much earlier date but there have
been some unavoidable delays.
81 find that some of the farmers
are impatient over the delay" said
Mr.. Hamer. 81 am glad that they are
so intensely interested in the move
ment because I believe, with them,
that the cooperative marketing of
our cotton crop will prove an effec-
tive panacea for many Of our ills.
We are making our campaign prepa-
rations just as rapidly as possible
and we hope now to begin the cam
paign for signatures to contracts
representing 100000 bales not later
than the middle of July"
In a letter to Mr.. Hamer discuss
ing the outlook for cotton, Col. w.
3. Thomson, Of New Orleans, one of
the best known cotton factors in the
South says:
Nothing can prevent materially
higher prices ultimately, and moth
ing but the acquired habit of fear
and panic bred competition between
spot holders to undersoil each other
can prevent materially higher prices
in the near future"
Colonel Thompson in his letter
takes the position that the cotton sit
uation is not as hopeless as many
seem to think, or, as he puts it Gin
trinsically is by no means bad as cur
rent gloomy imagination paints it."
He takes this position, he says, ''be-
cause the burden Of the present
oversupply and prospective carry
over is not nearly so heavy as cur
rent estimates indicate; the produc-
ton outlook in so far as the new
crop is concerned is infinitely more
menacing to consumers than the
present over-supply situation to pro-
ducers; the demand for cotton is not
dead as they think it is otny taofats
in cumulative allegiance TO be start
led into hungry activity as soon as
the supply situation develops a
stringency which is inevitable"
Colonel Thompson points out that
the actual world carry-over on July
81 will be 6,124,OOO bales and calls
attention to the fact that 'we with
out of slightest distress carried over
in 1915 a surplus of approximately
100000 bales, followed by an Am
erican crop Of approximately 49,
100000 bales" He says thai sur
plus stock of at least 5000, 900 bales
is normal and no burden at all. He
estimates that the 1921 crop will be
radically short and believes that it
is possible that it will not go over
100000 bales.

Washington, June 2S.-Represen-

that he and ten others had Joined in
call for a conference tomorrow
night of the approximately 100 new
Republican members to discuss the
situation.
eve are not meeting in any spirit
Of revolt" said Mr.. Ansgore, adding
that the new members wanted to cut
some of the "red tape" and "substi-
tute action for delay"
Mr.. Ansorge said one of the OBJ
jects for which congress was called
into special session had been, accom-
plished.
'tNor is there definite promise as
to when they will be-" he added.
There are upwards Of hundred
first term Republicans in the house
and they feel, as do, that we have
not been permitted to make our ;r-
fluence felt.
'tCongress was called into special
session for certain definite pur-
poses, namely for revision Of the
cumbersome, unwieldly and inequit-
able system of taxation, the passage
of fair protective tariff and the
passage of a peace resolution. None
of these objects have as yet been ac-
complished, nor is there any definite
promise as to when they will be.
"Nearly three months have passed
since the calling Of the special ses-
sion and we want to see action, spell
ed with capital ga"
eve believe, with the Republican
party, that what is best for the coun-
try is best for the party and we want
to impress that thought on some Of
the older members. Many of them
have been here so long they seem TO
have forgotten it.
"We are not meeting in any spirit
of revolt. We have come more re-
Gently from the people and our opin-
ion should have some weight. Con-
gress is all tied up with red tape.
We want to cut sope of the red tape
and substitute action for. delay. The
seniority rule can go too far. We
feel that our districts have as much
right to representation as has Uncle
Joe Cannon's.
Othes who signed the call for the
conference are: Representatives
Clarke, New York; Gerhard, Penn
sylvania; Knight, Ohio; Hogan, New
York; Arentz Nevada; Beck, Wis
consin; Beedy, Maine; Fem, Con-

is 1T HERRICK?

This name has been traced to a
first name used in Anglo-saxon
days-Hereric. which is connected
with Eric and also with Richard.
both coming from a word meaning
king or prince
One thing is certain ana tnat ~
that Herrick is thoroughly Engi;sn
and that It is a very old surname.
In this country the Herricks were
among the early settlers. Henry
Herrick, n native OF Leicester. Eng
land. settled in Salem in 1920. He
was the son OF Sir william Herrick
OF Bean Manor, Leicester.
The name seems to be most usuai
in Leicestershire, England. which
was apparently the cradle Of the
Herricks. and the name is spelled in
countless different ways in the old
records there. Herlcke and Hey
rick were usually employed methods
in old days and are still used Dy
some of the English families.
Among the distinguished descend
ants OF Henry Herrick. the colonist,
were John Herrick. educator. who
was president of the University OF
South Dakota and the Pacific Uni
versity at Oregon; ID. Cady Herrick

Representative from Maine as
