 SHIPPING EXPOSURE
(Continued From First Page)


 of the national merchant marine asso- ciation. In the address he made sweeping charges of attempts by Brit ish interests, supported. he said, by certain American interests to destroy tho American merchant marine.
 The agreement. as quoted by Sena- tor Jones. reserved the right of ter imitation by the British government in event of the pursuance of any pol icy injurious to the British mercantile marine and left the final decision in case of any difference as to the intent and meaning of this agreement or any dispute arising hereunder to the lord high chancellor of Great Brit ain"
 British Interests
 AS a result of this agreement Sena- tor Jones said the steamship lines owned by tho International Mercan- tile Marine Company and the leased Shipping Board vessels now under it's control are actually operated in the interest of the British government and British trade"
 He declared an agent the Ship ping Board in New York city who. he said, was n former employe of the International Mercantile Marine Com- pany, had opposed the establishment of m American shipping line between New York and Eugland and admitted that his reason for doing so was that 1t would inture the business of Brit ish lines from New York"
 New York Chief Port
 British shipping interests center almost entirely in the port of New York where large terminal invest ments are located and from which most of their tonnage of this side of the Atlantic sails" the senator con- cluded. Consequently whatever helps the port of New York benefits British shipowncrs. X monopoly of export freight sent through the port of New York spells greater profits for these British owners. It follows then that tho British shipping men are in ac- cord with the eastern trunk line rail- way officials who seek to cancel the present equalization of export freight rates from central freight association territory to Gulf and south Atlantic ports"
 These charges by Senator Jones brought a rejoinder from P. A. S. Franklin. president of the company and created lively discussion.
 Mir. Franklin asked who the man was and Senator Jones said he thought his name was MT. Andrews"
 We never had a man by that name" declared Mir. FUanklin and asked or further information as to the senator's charges.
 Senator Jones asked to be excused saying he was compelled to return to the senate for the regular session.
 Replying to the charges Mir. Frank lin said:
 'Tt is manifcstly unfair and un- just for a member of tho senate of tho United States to make such charges against the international Mer- cantiIe Marine. The company is American. None but Americans are on it's board of directors. Ninety nine per cent of it's stock is held by Americans.
 Tt has invested in American ship ping. It transferred British ships to the American flag and for us to be attacked is very unfair. Instead of receiving credit for the work we have done for American shipping we are

Cotton Acreage Reduction.

In this issue will be found an ap.
peal 10 the farmers from Mr.. B. R
Gllman to sign the pledge to re.
duce the cotton acreage in 1921. The
form Of the pledge is also printed in
this issue for farmers to sign. Hun.
dreds and hundreds of farmers in
Edgefeld county should sign the
piege and forward to Mr.. Tillman.
Those who fail to reduce their acre
age this year and plant even a nor
NAL acreage OF cotton, to the neg
,iect of food crops, will be repenting
next fall of having made the mis-
fake, but it will be too late then.
Besides, accomplishing a reduction
in acreage, the signing of the pledg-
les in great numbers over the cotton
belt will be considerable factor in
causing the price of cotton to ad-
vance, enabling farmers to realize
q better price for what they are hold
ing. We can see no good reason for
refusing to sign the pledge on the
one hand and can see several possible
advantages that will accrue from
signing. Sign the pledge printed on
the front, page of, The Advertiser this
week and send to Mr.. Tillman.

.heapest salesman that the merchant
IAN employ. The money spent in adj
vertising in the better class of weekly
newspapers is an investment and not
an expense; and it is the best-paying
investment that the merchant can
make; but not one in a thousand pub
fishers of the weekly papers is COM
pensated anywhere near what he is
worth to the merchants and to the
community in which he lives and to
whose interests he dedicates his life.
Every editor of weekly newspaper
is constantly working in behalf of
every merchant in his community,
whether that merchant patronizes the
local paper or not; but every mer-
chant of every community, unfortun-
ately, does not have the business COM
mon sense and the business foresight
to see that it is to his own personal
advantage to help support the coun-
try editor by advertising-telling
the people in the newspaper what he
has, how it can be used and what is

indications Are That Cotton
Acreage Will Be Reduced. :

Columbia, Jan. 17.-Requests for
additional farmers pledges which
are being received daily at the head
quarters of the South. Carolina di-
vision of the American Cotton asso-
citation in this city would indicate
officials say, that the pledges are be-
ing very freely signed. 1t was said
yesterday by officials of the associa-
tion that practically no instance of
farmers refusing to sign the pledges
had been reported to headquarters.
"You may rest assured that old
Abbeville county will de her full duty
in the matter of reducing cotton
acreage for the year 1921" says
Capt. G. N. Nickles, president of the
Abbeville county branch Of the asso-
citation in letter to state headquar-
ters yesterday. He said that the meet
ing at AbbevilIe last Monday was we'll
attended and that the acreage reduc-
tion plans met with approval of the
farmers and business men.
George C. Price, president of the
Lexington branch, reports that far
mers of his county are enthusiastic
for the movement.
F.. C. Thomas, president of the
Clarendon branch, has written for
additional supply of pledges for
Clarendon county saying that the far
mers were signing them freely in
that county
s w. D. Morrah, president of the Nc
Cormick branch, wrote that the mer-
chants and banks in that county had
agreed to take the initiative in Sc
curing pledges from the farmers.
stressing the necessity for sharp
reduction in acreage this year, the
South Carolina division of the Ameri-
can Cotton association has issued
statement which says:
"There are today about 1s,ooo,-
900 bales of American cotton on
hand, with consumption requirements
now indicated for less than 10000
600 bales by August 1, 1921. With a
prospective carry over of 9,OO0o,oO0
bales next year, the planting of a
normal acreage in cotton this year
will be simple suicidal business polls

Advertising in the Country
Weekly.
(Newark, N. Y, Union-Gazette)

Newark, N. Y, Union-GaZette
Advertising in the country weekly
is the most valuable advertising ir
the world. Expert advertisers say il
is not only the most valuable but the
most scientific advertising in the
world. Advertising in the magazines
has to be general, for the reason that
the average magazine you receive
today was set in type several weeks
ago, and the ad vertising copy was
probably prepared several weeks be-
fore that. This means that advertis-
ers in the magazines have to antici-
pate conditions several weeks in ad-
vance of the time the copy is pre-
pared.
This is not SO with advertising in
the country weekly, for the country
weekly has the advantage over the
magazine in that the weekly circu-
lates in a comparatively small terri
tory and the name of the merchant or
the business man who is selling the
goods can be placed in the advertise
ment. This is impossible in the maga-
zine advertising, which covers some
times the whole nation.
The weekly newspaper also is con-
sidered the best advertising medium
in the world by expert advertisers for
the reason that it has more init
mate association with the family
than magazine or a daily newspa-
per.
No local merchant can afford not
to advertise in weekly newspapers of
the better class. 1t is sad commen-
tary upon small town business men
that they don't see the advantage to
them of carrying an advertisement
in the small town paper every single
week. Such an advertisement is the

which is the mighty safe and solid
foundation to build an admlnlstra-

which is at the bottom OF the list
from the standpoint of illiteraey.
Building public highways, foster
ing agriculture and industrial enter
prises is all right, but the. making OF
men and women of the proper kind

nuur. No sacrifice is too great, what

cy, not alone for the farmers but for
every business interest in the South.
"There is but one sensible solution
of the problem under such conditions
and that is to reduce the cotton acre
age on every farm so that not exceed
ing half a crop-or 100000 bales
will be harvested in 1921.
"The American Cotton association
is waging an intensive campaign in
every cotton growing state through,
out the belt to reduce the cotton acre
age so per cent by signed pledges
from farmers, bankers, merchants
cotton factors and fertilizer dealers.
The business interests of the South
are squarely behind the campaign and
thousands of farmers are daily sign
ing up the pledges and are determin-
ed to cut their cotton acreage half
in two.
"The future of the South is at
stake. The only way to prevent dis
aster is to cut the acreage in half,
increase food and feed crops and ad-
vance prices to cost of production
plus reasonable profit"
1t is said at the headquarters of
the. South Carolina division yester-
day that the merchants of the state
were signing their pledges very lib
orally and that the bankers were also
signing pledges very freely.

Women Elected to Office.

Prejudice against women partici-
pating in public affairs and holding
Office is gradually being dissipated in
South Carolina. Yesterday woman
was elected judge Of probate of
Greenville county and among the
candidates in Clarendon county to
fill vacancy in the House of Repre-
senatitves one is woman. Hereafter
in public life the fittest, intellectual
iy, will prevail. Sex is no. longer a
lar TO intelligence. In many parts of
the country this prejudice against
womaahood was broken down years
ago, and now women are coming into
their own in South Carolina.

Law Enforcement.

The people are becoming aroused
and will demand a better enforce
ment of the laws of the land. The
wave of crime that has shocked the
sensibilities of the law abiding peo-
pie everywhere over the country, is
causing the pendulum to swing back
Toward law observance. The people
siere in Edgefeld and in Edgefeld
county have grown tired of the open
violations of some laws and are look
ing to the officers to bring about a
better condition. In two pulpits in
Edgefeld Sunday strong sermons
were preached upon law enforce
ment. Governor Cooper has request
ed every minister in South Carolina
to preach upon this next Sunday,
which above all other things needs to
be stressed at this time.
The law that lis most fagrantly
violated in Edgefield county at this
time is the prohibition law, and the
people are expecting greater vigi-
lance and activity on the part of the
officers whose duty it is to bring law
breakers to justice. In their efforts, to
do this these officers should receive
the moral support and active COOP
Grafton of the citizenship of the
county. A man may be in every other
respect good citizen, but if he is
unwilling to give the sheriff and other
officers information in his possession
that will lead to the apprehension and
arrest of distiller or liquor seller,
he can not be classed as a hundred
per cent citizen. First be sure you
are right do not accuse an innocent
man, then have the courage to go
ahead. Your boy or some kinsman
in whom you are interested may be-
come an unsuspecting victim of the
vampires who distill and deal out in
the dark 1.-The damnable stuff. 1t is
time for red blooded men to arouse
Hrom their lethargy and get busy
fThere is something a thousand times
worse than low priced cotton ano
temporary financial depression, and
that is, for your boy, for the young
manhood of Edgefeld= county, to be
debauched. Should your boy, now
pure minded and innocent, become q
victim Of the liquor seller then Syou
will become enraged with righteous
Indignation. But it may be too late
Better provide the ounce of preyen'
tion through law enforcement.
The Advertiser is writing in the
interest of the bright boys of Edge:
field county who have not yet formed
the drink habit-in the interest OF
the sweet pure girls of Edgefeld
county who are in danger of becom.
ing drunkards' wiSes-in the interest
of the motherhood of Edgefeld coun-
ty, mothers having always been the
greatest sufferers from liquor-in the
interest of the homes of Edgefeld
county, and against every devil in hu
man form who would put the bottle
to the mouth of a boy or his fellow
man in order to make a few dollars,
ARE WE NOT RIGHT? If you ans

in the fight against lawlessness in
every form and particularly against

We do so earnestly sorrow with

Horns Creek section, in their un-
speakable grief over the real true
absence of their purely white darling
baby bud, Bennett, who blossoms in
the Saviour's arms with his unusual
angel-looking, bright black eyes, del
icate face and beaming smiles, its
little active, bouncing being, which
was spared to his grief stricken pa
rents the stort duration of one year.
He passed away January 3, 1921 at
his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. L.
Bennett, Fort Mill, S. c., and in
tered there in the Unity cemetery.
He had woven himself so tenderly
into the hearts and lives of his fond
parents, leaving also little brother,
]. P, who is so carefully trained as
to have made little Bennett the
brightestof all his play toys.
Dear parents, for a surety you
know just where to find your precious
babe! Using expressions of my feeble
views as they come to ME, there is a
voice of mighty power, at all times
saying to each of us:
Through my many sun-ray lights,
Let your pathway of deeds be right.
They will bring you in gladness
here; !
Then you will know the great JOY
This, my pearly white angel Ben
nett boy" - ~ a. - 'e
