TWO CENT MINIMUM
FOR TOBACCO SALES

Florence, August 21-The South
Carolina Tobacco Warehouseman's s
association has agreed to the re-
quest of the South Carolina To-
baeco association to pass all to-
bacco offers on their floors for
which buyers will not bid as high
as two cents per pound.
The growers recently asked the
warehousemen to teKe such action
saying they wanted 20 keep trashy
tobacco off the market and the sec
retary Of the wareaousemen's as
sociation To-Day said that effective
tomorrow the rule would be put IN
to effect. Producers have express
sed much dissatisfaction over prices
since the market opened on July
10 and they said they hoped the
two cent minimum would omproVe
the situation. The growers organa-
zation had sought to make the
minimum three censs but could not
get the warehousemen to go that
high.

GOOD ROAD
PUBLICITY
State Association Plans En-
tensive Campaign to Edu-
cate Public

Columbia, July 3o.-An intensive
publicity campaign for good roads
is being planned by the South
Carolina Good Roads Association
for. the near future. The organ :
ization will take advantage Of every
method known to stress upon The
people of the state the necessity of
permanent highways being built by
the state, it was said yesterday.
The newspapers, the bilfboards,
the moving pictures and other
agencies viii be used IN the cam
paign. Already posters are being
printed emphasizing the fact that
bad roads cost more than GOOD
roads,
Bad roads mean loss and isola-
ticn; good roads mean prosperity
and communications" reads one
of the slogans being gotten out hy
the association. Another circular,
calls attention to the fact that
while other states of the union are
spending enormous sums on sta-e
highways South Carolina is rrac-
tically doing nothing by confpari-
son.
eve are delighted with the re-
sponses that our appeals are meet
ing with,'' said President L. D.
Jennings yesterday. ''The people
of the state are sending in their
membership fees right along. A
big membership in our association
means a strong organization and
every county in the state should
have. a large number Of active
members. We want as members;
people who are really interested
in good roads and who will get
out and work when we call upon
them"
President Jennings announced
yesterday that B. H. Peace, presi-.
dent and editor Of the Greenyille
News, had accepted the position If
Chairman for Greenvilie county
and will at once undertake the
work Of organizing that county.
Mr.. Peace is a good roads enthus-
last and has given the association
strong support through the col
umns Of his paper.
We are very greatly indebted
| to the press Of the state for the.
| tsplend:d support which it IS giving
u.s." said Mr.. Jennings yesterday.
.eSve telt sure that we would have

since they always stand for poo.

Before Sumter county embarSs
upon the road building program 1t
will be we'll to carefully consider
the comparative merits OF hard sur
faced roads-concrete, brick or bl-
thulithic-and top soil or gravel
surfaced roads. If concrete, brlck
of bithuIithic roads are built prac-
tically all the material will nave
to be imported while there IS suffl-
cient gravel Of the best quality IN
the county to surface the entire
road system contemplated. The first
cost, the cost OF maintenance and
the life OF the various types OF
roads must necessarily be taken in
to consideration. The experience OF
other counties and states VIII be q

SWEET POTA-

Columbia. July s0.-The South

experiments making candy Of the

to. The syrup was secured from
the United States Department OF
Agriculture and was made at Fatz-
gerald, Ga. a..s.s; ...,.i.s
The straight syrup win not
crystaIize or harden on cooking TO
make candy, and this was to be. ex-
rected, for the substance which
srves il sweetness is not cane SUI
gar but malt sugar. The syrup
may be. used to advantage in max
king fudge" and it makes a pro-
duct Of. the highest. quality as at
tested by experts indifferent parts

product. When chocolate fudge IS
made it requires less chocolate TO
give the desired flavor, and this
should interest the professional
candy maker.

were made and found to be fine

When the sweet potato syrup Is
used the resulting fudge keeps
moist longer than when made by
the usual recipe and has smooth

in South Careina

COtCmDla, Aug. 14iS SAoP
contract provided by the Organi-
cation Committee of the South

Operative Association has been
analyzed and summarized by D.

convenience Of those who want a
quick view Of the very cenprehen-
Esive contract
Summary of Cotton Contract.
(D The association is strictly
cooperative. (2) Only cotton
farmers can join, and the assocla-
ton belongs to them. (3} There is
no stock and there are no profits.
Proceeds are paid to the farmers
after deducting all expenses OF
the association. (4)s All farmers
are treated exactlyy alike, no par
tiality, all sign the same contract.
|(5) Good grades bring a good
price-poor grades not so. good.
(6) The association is not try
ing to fix the price-but to get it
for the farmer. (7) The farmer
agrees to deliver for five years
all OF the cotton he grows, but he
may from time to time grow more,
less, or none, as he himself
chooses. .(S) The contract is
binding-there is no way to dodge
il when once effective-do not
forget that; but it does not be-
come effective until the growers
Of 4o0, ,eoe bales of cotton sign up.
e9) The association will pool all
cotton and sell from time to time
in large lots. Each grower will
get his share of the proceeds for
the year regardless of the price
his particular cotton may bring.
The plan includes many Of the
principles upon which the indus
trial development Of the country
has flourished, and every princi-
pie has been tried out and proven
sound in American agriculture as
we'll.

Cd The association expects to
include as many Of the cotton
farmers in South Carolina as pos
sible. (2) The state Will be df-
yided into ten districts. (3) The
board Of directors will consist Of
one director from each district,
each director selected by the
growers in his district, and one
appointed to represent the gener-
al publn-eleven directors In all
who control the association.
(4) Each farmer member has one
vote-no more; this is according
to the best experience in such
associations. The Association
when organized may affiliate with
similar associations in other cot
ton states for mutual help.
Handling the Crop.
The association will provide fa-
cilitites for warehousing and
handling the cotton of members.
These arrangements will be made
by, the directors and may consist
either of trading with warehouses
already built to handle cotton, or Of
organizing companies build ware
houses under certain conditions.
With the large number Of ware
houses now in the state warehouse
system, it is probable that the as
