of this vicious, drastic, and sumptu-

petitions are being sent to Congress
men from all over the country, and
are having a wonderful effect i'll con-

Vets Claim Beer Ruling Credit
Full credit for what ever advan-
tage they will receive from the
Palmer beer ruling is taken by the
organized vets Their official organ,
the Champion OF Fair Play, says, 1T
has been the work OF the Veterans
OF Liberty as shown by our Wash
ington correspondent, Paul Revere
(and there is no better posted man at
the national capitaD that brought
about the Palmer ruling on beer.
There is no doubt about it. Mr. Re-
we're tells how the many petitions
lover $4,000 of them) sent to Con-
a.. a+t q,
and caused them to talk among them
selves what are we going to do? The
people want beer. light wines and
many of them are my best friends.
> And so it was that Attorney
General Palmer issued swan song
and declared that under the Volstead
law the people could have beer as a
medicine, and there you are. And so
it is that the petitions SO freely cir
culated by the Veterans of Liberty
was the center wedge that split open
the Prohibition log"
Liquor Dealers Association Active
Another angle of the fight by the
vets to restore the liquor traffic
through the legalization of beer is
apparent in letter written to Attor-
ney-General Daugherty. Two par
agraphs from this letter are as fol-
lows; "On behalf of the Retail Malt
Beverage Dealers OF Illinois, an or
ganization previously known as the
Liquor Dealers Association OF llli-
nois, we wish to protest against the
limitation OF this Interpretation of the
Nolstead Act. We are sure
that careful review OF the ethics OF
the proposition OF the department on
this question will lead to liberaliza-
ton of its Interpretation sufficiently
broad to allow the sale by all tenn
perance beverage dealers of bever-
ages with an alcoholic content of two
and quarter per cent, without a
doctors prescription

Keystone State VETS Busy

Not ancient history but up-to-the-
minute reports are the following ex-
tracts from the Pennsylvania News
department in the April IS, 1921,
number of the Champion OF Fair
Play: petitions containing thou
sands of names of voters in western
Pennsylvania are being sent to Con-
gressmen from their districts in favor
of beer and light wines. Neil
Bonner, of Philadelphia, dropped
into Pittsburgh a few days ago and
paid visit to the Veterans OF Lib
erty' headquarters. Mr.. Bonner said
the good beer and light wine senti-
ment among the people is growing
in leaps and bounds and he would
not be surprised to see Congress take
faction shortly after going into ses-
ksion. amending the Nolstead Act to
conform to the ever-increasing de-

Attack Volstead Act

Another article in the Champion of
Fair Play, the thirty-two page official
organ of the liquor dealers and other
VETS, tells OF the fight being made
against the National Prohibition en-
forcement act. The writer, Paul Re-
we're, says, "The change OF sentiment
among the Congressman towards the
close OF the last session was quite
perceptible 1t was caused by the
food of petitions sent in by the Vet
Grams of Liberty to the individual
members at their home address asking
for beer and light wines" Elsewhere
in the Champion this appeal appears ::
every member of The Veterans of
Liberty should constitute himself
the chairman of subcommittee for
his immediate neighborhood and con-
tinue getting petitions signed and
sent in to your Congressman. Keep
it up. 1t is having a great effect, par
ticularly if there is new Congress
man from your district. Keep ever
isstingly at it. Make your friends
and neighbors sign, even if they have
signed it before. Make them sign it
again and should you hear that your
Congressman is home, get group OF
friends and call on him and make a
personal appeal. Keep everlastingly
at it"

FLORENCE MAN DIES OF INJURY
Barlow Williams Thrown to Pavement
AS Car Turns Corner.

When converted racer upon the
lear box seat of which he was riding
turned a corner sharply, Sunday
morning, Barlow Williams, aged twen-
ty-two years, was thrown violently to
the paved street at Ellebe's Drug
store, suffering injuries from which
he died last night. The car was being
driven by Mr.. Everett CASTOR who
with Williams and Major Register
were on their way to Nichols. Will
Jams was riding on the box like seat
behind the drivers seat. The car
was coming west on Evans street, it
is stated, and turned into North
Church, according to reports, in order
to get around freight train which
was pulling into the city across the
Evans street crossing. 1t was just
as the car turned that Williams who
was attempting to ligth cigarette
fell to the pavement. At first, it was
not thought that he was seriously in
iured and was driven to the home OF
relatives just without the city limits,
a physician having in the meantime
administered first aid. Late yester-
day afternoon Williams condition
became serious and he was rushed
to the Florence Infrmary but he was
in a dying condition when he reached
there. Cerebral compression is said
to have been the cause of his death.
Coroner Smith inpanelled jury and
took testimony in the case this morn
ing. The jury absolved the driver of
the car from all blame. The car was
going at the rate of about twelve
miles an hour at the time of the &C
cident.
Williams was married man and
leaves a widow and one child. His
widow was Miss Afford, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. Afford. Williams
and his wife lived in the Mars Bluff
section. He was originally from
Marion. The funeral services were
held at 105 North Chase Avenue Mon
day afternoon and the interment was
made at Mizpah church.

Cooperative Association.

Columbia, June 21.-The cooperative
marketing association which is being
formed by the South Carolina division
of the American Cotton Association,
proposes to effect many absolutely
necessary reforms in the present sys-
tenn of cotton selling, according to
President R. C. Hamer, first, by elm
iration of wasteful methods, and sec
ondly through collective selling, there
by assuring greater profits to the pro-
ducer without unduly increasing costs
to the consumer.
"Specifcally", said Mr.. Harer g!
expect the association to do the fol-
lowing definite things for its mem
bers:
"First, it will grade, staple and
weigh each bale of cotton delivered
t. it by its members. ThiS will place
a true value On the cotton in t:ems Of
quality.
Second, it will warehouse all cot
ton delivered to it by its members.
This will at once reduce the tremcn-
duous loss from Country damage" eS-
timated at from Sc per bale upward.
"Third. it will sell all of its cotton
in even running lots, each grade and
staple within its own pool. This will
assure higher price than can be OBJ
tanned in any other way and save to
the producers the cost and profits of
middlemen and spectators who buy
mixed lots from growers and after
concentration and classification sell in
even lots to mills at higher prices.
Fourth, i. will sell its own sam
pie and warehouse certificates. This
will again reduce another heavy loss.
known as the Getty crop" and prevent
undergrading.
Fifth, it will sell collectively, and
only when the market demands, it.
This will reduce specialization and
tend to stabilize prices.
"Sixth, it will sell its cotton as di-
rectly as possible. This will eliminate
many present wasteful methods, short
en- the route between the producer and
the spinner, and secure for the pro-
ducer larger share of the prices paid
by the spinner.
Seventh, it will determine the cost
OF production of cotton. This will as
sist in asking a price which will yield
g profit to the producer.
Eight, it will encourgage and de-
velop the production of uniform and
standard varieties. This will assist
still further in pool selling and in Sc
curing a better price
Ninth, it will advise with growers
on production methods and problems.
This will be essentially helpful and
profitable
"This program can be carried out in
one way only, and that is under the
plan of organization outlined in the
marketing agreement of the coopera-
tive association. This association will
begin to function when membership
representing at least 100000 bales of
cotton is secured. Each member, re-
gardless of the number of bales he
produces, signs legally bind:-.g mar
keting contract with the association,
representing himself 'and every other
member, in which all members agree
tc sell all of their cotton through the
association for a period of five years,
That's the point in the matter. 1t
guarantees that the association will
stick and that it will be able to de-
liver the goods.

Faithful Wife is Suing for Divorce.

Paris, June 16.-Europe's most
faithful wife is suing her husband
for support.
She is Marie Tereshtchenko. Her
husband is NJ. Tershtchenko, Russian
foreign minister under the Kerensky
regime.
Before civil court here, Nine, Ter
eshtchenko unfolded story of nlsri-
tai fidelity and made some of the
popular Partisan screen dramas look
commonplace.
In 1907 Nine. Tereshtchenko, then,
Maj, Nolet, was attending the Sor-
bone university. She planned to be-
come a statesman.
Tereshchenko and the girl student
met, loved and were married.
In 1914 the war broke out and the
young Russian was called home. Leav-
ing her home and family in France,
his wife went with him.
When Tereshtchenko joined his
regiment, his wife became a nurse,
intending to remain as near her hus-
band as possible. She contracted ty-
phus fever. Her first child was born
dead.
Then came the abdication of the
car. KerenskS's forces swept into
power. Young Tereshtchenko was
made foreign minister.
When the Kerensky regime gave
way to the Bclsheviki, Lenin sent Ter
eshtchenko TO prison.
But his wife would not be separated
from him. Declaring that she was 4
newspaper reporter, she gained access
to his prison She provided him with
forged passports.
With these the couple escaped 10
Sweden. The wife came to Paris,
while her husband remained in Chris
tina.
Separated, the couple drifted fur
ther apart until finally the wife'S suit
was filed. Tereshtchcnko declares he
is without funds and cannot support
her.
