Committee Named at Wednes-
day Afternoon Meeting
TO BUILD SHELTER
Agreement Will Be Reached
with Seanor and Clare

Beginning next week prices on sta
pie articles at the curb market are
to be regulated by the Woman's
Club Market Committee with the
advice and assistance of the farmers
who regularly patronize the curb
market. The ladies on the commit
tee. are Mrs. Lon Dickey chairman,
Mrs. c. d. Carroll, Mrs. Harvey A.
Mathis. The decision was reached
at the curb market meeting Wednes.
day.
II addition 20 :hy ladies', Fl II.
James and c. f. Owens constitute
committee 70 confer with Mr.. Syd-
ney Clare and Mr.. J. B. Seanor on
the project of building a permanent
shelter on the corner on which the
market is now being held They
VIII meet sometime next week. Mr..
Seanor offered the use of the lots
for nominal sum and Mr.. Clare
offered to supply lumber for the
building without cost. Mr.. A. J.
Sword, chairman of the Fitzgerald
council of the farm bureau, offered
to haul the lumber to the lots. The
regular patrons of the market are
to build the shelter themselves.
Among those who spoke at the
meeting were Mrs. c. d. Carroll
who gave striking illustration of
the need and value of the market by
offering as evidence" five cases of
various vegetables, peas from Cali
tornla, sugar peas from Tennessee,
pickles from Detroit, peppers from
other distant section. All of these
things are being sold at the curb
market, raised by home folks in home
land and keeping their money at
home.
Mr.. w. r. Bowen offered a tenta-
tive plan for the market shelter
which met the unanimous approval
OF those present. M : Turner
spoke of the possibil ties OF the curb
market as nucleus for further
development of home industry.
Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse also spoke
along that line Mrs. Lon Dickey
explained the need for a permanent
shelter before the days become too
hot to permit the markets being
held in the open as it is now. Sew
eral others spoke.
The decision to regulate prices
was made because considerable dis
crepancy in prices has been report
ed and is not having a good effect
on the market The prices will be
regulated so that they will be high
enough to make it worth while for
the farmer to come to town with his
produce and low enough to make it
worthwhile for the housewife to
leave her home three times week
to come to market.

COMMON PLEAS

With Judge John S. Wilson, presid-
ing, the April term Of the court or
common pleas entered upon its jury
work yesterday morning. While it is
possible that the work Of the term will
extend through tomorrow lawyers ana
court attaches this morning expressed
the opinion that, it would in, all, pro.
bability fall through today.
Petit jurors excused by his honor
yesterday morning were j. I. Roddey,
r. W. Bratton, j. G. Cork.
The first jury case taken up was
that of the cooperative Grocery Co..
against S. y. Collins. The plaintiff
brought to recover $155.S3 and interest
from January l, 1920, claiming that
the sum was just and owing for gro
ceries sold to the defendant. The de-
fendant in lis"answer acknowledged
the account but claimed that he held
stock in the CO. cooperative Grocery
Company, now extinct to the amount
OF $3.50. He decided to leave Rock
Hill to move to North Carolina and
being told that his stock was worth
par value he requested that it be TAX
en- in payment for his grocery bill and
the balance Of S9317 he paid him in
cash. He further claimed in his ans
wer that the company was due hlm
that amount.

so for Mr. Wilson, is not without GER
tain speculative interest as to the un-
DERIVING motive. While it ought not
to be so, it is a fact that each OF the
two parties frequently take one side
of q question because the other party
takes the other side. This might cas-
ily be an illustration Of this circunl-
stance. Then again it may be that MIR.
Harding has been able to show the
senator's OF his party that ratification
was the wisest and most eXpedient
thing to do. 1t will be remembered
that in his first campaign for the presi-
dency, Nj. Wilson urged free passage
for American ships through the Pana-
ma canal but Immediately upon taking
office he called an extra session Of con-
gress to repeal a law that the Repub-
leans had passed to carry out that
pledge. 1T is commonly believed that
the reason for his action was threat
of war from Great Britain, OF what
amounted to that. Mr.. Harding, in
the past also advocated free passage
for American ships. Conditions are
different now in that England is not SO
formidable as she was; but as to what
is to become of the free tolls PROPOSE
ton remains to be seen.

DEATH OF JEFFERYs RECALLED

peope hercaboutS recalled Eesler-
day that April 25, was the twenty
seventh anniversary of the death OF
Thomas Smith Jcrfcrys. Jeffcrys, 1t
is claimed, was the first man in the
United States TO use cotton sacks Tor
shipping flour. That was back in
1852. In those days South Carolina,
now one of the leading cotton pro-
ducing states. was one Of the Leading
wheat producing states.
Wheat was one OF the Chief articles
Of export in York county instead OIL
import.
Flour prior to 1852 was shipped IN
barrels instead OF sacks. Nobody, u
appears. had thought of using Il sack
for the purpose. There were hundreds
of coupers in the state then. The ilrst
railroad in this section or Sonth Gar
olinn--thc old Kings Mountain rail-
road, was built in 1852. JeifrcyS' then
IS years old, was in wheat and Hour

The act Of former Attorney General
Palmer in trying to repeal the prohi-
bition amendment to the constitution
of the United States with ruling that
he surely knew had no foundation IN
law, reason or morals, was probably
one of the most contemplate and dis
reputable to be found in the records OF
this government. Any idiot knows that
if the prohibition amendment to the
constitution Of the United states
means anything at all it means that
alcoholic liquors of whatever nature
are outlawed for beverage purposes.
Also everybody. whether idiot or not
knows that nobody ever takes alcoholic
liquors, whether straight or under
pretense of medicine except for the
"ias" it imparts. Palmer's opinion was
lust simply a sneaking contemplate
effort to set aside the constitution oil
the United States and that was all
there was to it. But from dispatches
of Yesterday it appears that Mr.. VOL
stead Of the house judiciary committee
proposes to checkmake all that. lie
declares that there is no real necessity
for beer as a medicine and he has in
troduced a bill to prevent the sale OF
beer TO the sick on a doctors prescrip-
ton or otherwise. There is good rea-
son to believe that the bill will be
passed.

DEMAND FOR RAW COTTON
American Commercial Attache in Lon'
don Predicts Shortage.

don Predicts shortage.
The worlds cotton acreage must
undergo very. marked expansion IN
the years to come if the supply of raw
cotton is to keep pace with the worlds
needs, Alfred P, Dennis, American
commercial attache. at London; report
ed to the department Of commerce af-
ter an exhaustive study Of the worlds
capacity for consuming cotton goods.
AT the present, he said, there IS a
record carry over. Of raw cotton.
Combined with this there is an inn.
mense amount of. under production in
the chief cotton spinning centerse OF
the world. There has been a marked
setback to the purchasing power OF
the world in the amount. of cotton !.
goods and corresponding set back
to the production of cotton.
1T is obvious" says Mr.. Dennis,
that the world has emerged from the
war with production capacity Of
raw cotton considerably below its re-
quirements. Coincideptaily there has
been a marked decline in the output
of manufactured cotton stuffs, that,
in turn, being a reflection Of reduced
buying power in the great cotton con-
sumng centers Of the world.
with the return Of the world to a
normal state. of economy, buying will
be resumed, idle and short time looms
and spindles will Be speeded up, and
an insistentf, demand for raw mater
ial may be anticipated,
"Far-sighted Representatives Of the
British cotton trade are already agi-
tating the question Of increasing the
production {? Of raw :@I Cotton cotton within Wit the
empire. .,.
1T seems established that the need
of the world for cotton goods within
the near future will grow more rapidly
than will the extension Of cotton grow
ing areas. Increase. in the supply Of
cotton depends very largely on the
finding of fresh cotton territory and
improving the strains of existing
known cotton.
THE crop. in America, which had
been averaging for the five years,
1Ss5-ss, 10000 600 bales, jumped 10
years later Or for the five years 1910
IA, to.an average or l3,5oo.ooo bales.
Production in other countries also in
creased. The inference must be- ac-
cepted, therefore, that through the in
crease in the worlds. population and
through the extension of consumption
to new markets, as well as through
the inclusion of. cotton into new utili-
ties, such as as automobile tires, the
world required an incres Sc in its sup
ply of cotton. 1t is stated on high au-
thority that. the world in 1914 was in a
position to absorb in manufactured
goods at least 100000 bales Of cotton
more each, year than 1t consumed the
year before.
"One. of the prime factors in the
present day equation, is the impover-
tshment of the world. Trade with
both Russia al and Germany ;;,:.has.
amounted to little, and: while: the ca
pacity in general Of Central and East
ern Europe to Buy cotton goods; has
not been destroyed it has been great
