SUGGESTED
FOR CAMPAIGN USE
"In Hoe. SignO Vinees" Put Forward
as Battle Cry of Farmers.

Over 200 bales were signed up in
the cotton cooperative marketing
campaign in Spartanburg county
Monday although no united effort was
made on that day to secure sigma
lures, according to information given
but yesterday at the offices of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative association. The inten-
sive campaign for signatures to the
contracts was scheduled to begin
Wednesday. Several farmers were
given the opportunity of signing up
IN Monday, however.
Committees have been appointed in
every township in the county to
make the canvass. These committees
ere composed of the most represen-
tatives farmers in Spartanburg coun-
y, it is said, and all are declared to
be enthusiastic ovef The plan.
Maj w. L. Glessner, managing Cli-
or of The Carolina Farmer and
Stockman, suggests Gin Hoe Signo
Vinces" (By this sign thou wilt con-
quer), the motto under which the
great Emperor Constantine won the
greatest victories as the motto of the
farmers of the state in the coopera-
tive marketing compaign.
"By this sign," says Major Glessner,
"the signing of the contract with the
South Carolina Cotton Growers Co.
operative association, will the far
mers of South Carolina conquer in the
battle for independence from manip-
ulation, spectators and profiteers who
have fattened upon their toll for
these many years.
"By this sign-and the farmer owes
it to himself, his neighbor, his coun-
ty and hs state to sign-he will
conquer poverty and hardships.
'By this sign-and the farmer
should not only sign but get his
neighbor to sign and help enroll the
necessary number Of signers-he will
enroll himself as one of the con-
Quering host who will redeem the
farmers of the South from servitude
to greed.
"By this sign-and the time to
sign is now, not tomorrow or mex
week-the farmer will conquer the
right to enjoy the fruit Of his toll
in peace and comfort.
"By this sign-and in signing the
farmer will be enlisting in freedoms
army-thou wilt conquer the isola-
ton and individualism that for so
many years has made the farmer a
slave to his prejudice"

DADDY DEAR

BY Margaret A. Richard.
With her daddy dear
Playing hide and seek,
jamie looks the Joy
That she can not speak.
Dancing with him to
Time Of music sweet,
She spells gladness we'll
With her twinkling feet.
Which Of these two games
She would rather play,
l am sure 'twere hard
For the child to say.
Less the game she loves,
Fain would l declare,
Than just playing with
Her own daddy dear.

Mr.. Editor:
Please allow space for the follow
ing from one who Is "agin" the gen.
eral run Of so-called Moving Pic
lures.
The picture, ''Everywoman' pre-
sented at the local theatre last night
is one that, in my, humble opinion,
would pay for the churches to arrange
with all theatres to show absolutely
free to every person over, say 10
wears of age. 1t would pay to bring
this picture here again and arrange
for a free exhibition as suggested

They Are Wearing

Satin hats are beginning to appear,
these in new fall designs in all black,
sometimes in cire finish.
Bright slippers and stockings were
the feature of dance attended re-
Gently, rose or red satin slippers with
matching hosiery being worn even
with black dresses.
Lace draped hats are getting more
and more popular.
So are Japanese paper parasols.
Many dresses are decidedly longer.
Dark dresses sashed with bright
color are fashionable, many Of these
sashes being simply looped over in
the front and hanging straight to the
hem of the skirt.
The all-black costume continues to
be extremely popular for all occa-
sions, although many bright sports
clothes, as we'll as black and white
ones, are worn.
A woman strolling on the Avenue
yesterday morning wore very full
taffeta dress with a cross-bar Of
white. The skirt Of ankle length was
gathered onto a semi-fitted bodice
and was at least four and a half yards
wide at the hem. The bodice was
cut with a square opening at the
throat and had tight elbow sleeves,
with which were worn mousequetaire
gray gloves. She wore marquis
hat draped to the right with Chan
tilly veil.
Another interesting dress noted
was made of white foulard, with
Japanese figures in black and black
crepe. There was foundation of
the crepe with the white forming
straight back and front, black crepe
apron breaking the line at the front.
This apron had black band around
the waist, from which straight bands
fell to the hem at either side. The
short sleeves and sides of the dress
were black and it was worn with
black shoes and stockings and a black
hat.
White and pale gray hats made of
felt, stitched and picoted at the edge
are popular.
An envelope purse in shiny black
leather cross-barred in white, was
carried by woman who had just re-
turned from London and proclaimed
by her the smartest thing from the
European standpoint
Knitted bathing suits are outnum-
bering all other types on exclusive
as well as popular> beaches.
Blonde stockings with black shoes
are worn with black dresses nova
days more often than gray.
Gray stockings with white shoes
are the choice of many wearing gray
sweaters with white skirts-a popu-
lar combination.
Canton and crepe de chine one
piece dresses are popular worn with
matching capes lined in Georgette of
contrasting shade.
A smart young miss at a resort
restaurant wore a white Canton crepe
frock on simple lines, the hem bound
in green in battlefront form. A cape
matching the dress, and lined and
bound in green was worn fastened
around the neck but before seating
herself she arranged the cape as a
tunic on her skirt, fitting rather
tightly to the figure around the hips.

Blind Entertainers to give Concert at
the Lyric. ,

On August 11th the Blind Enter
tainers of the Columbia Association
for the Blind Of S. c., will give a
concert at the Lyric Theater. The
following letter tells Of the work of
these blind people and shows how
worthy they are of your patronage:
Dear Friends:
In South Carolina there are between
1000 and 1,l00 blind people, by far
the majority of whom are unemployed
which means that these unfortunate
individuals are receiving their sup
port from parents, relatives or. friends
The idleness and inertness, which are
so often thought by many sighted
people to be characteristics Of the
blind as a class Is an unjust accusa-
tion. The unemployed blind Of South
Carolina are yearning for an oppor-
tunity by which they may become in
dependent and self-supporting citi-
zens. 1t is only the lack of oppor-
tunity that is responsible for the
helplessness of the blind as class.
Blind people are absolutely normal
except for the lack Of their physical
sight. The blind, like their sighted
friends and relatives, are not gifted
alike. 1t is unreasonable to believe
that any blind man can become a
John Milton. 1t is equally absurd to
think that every sighted man should
possess the talents Of William Shakes
peare, therefore, the blind citizens Of
South Carolina, like their sighted
friends, must have various ways pro-
vided by which they can make their
support.
Last July the blind people of the
State held a convention at the Pres
byterian Theological Seminary in
Columbia. We organized what is
known as the Columbia Association
for the Blind of South Carolina. The
purpose of this Association is to pro-
mote the general welfare of the blind
IN the State.
On September 9th the Columbia
Association for the Blind Of South
Carolina opened the doors Of its
workshop with class Of four pupils.
In this workshop, the blind men and
women are taught to make baskets
and fiber furniture of every descrip-
ton. 1t is course of six months
training, which is given free of charge
to any white blind man or woman OF
good moral standing, residing inl
South Carolina. After completing
the course in the shop, the pupil Isl
then made a self-supporting, inde-
pendent citizen. We are dismissing al
class of twelve pupils on the first Of
July, another class of fifteen will take
their places and still 1t leaves us
with a long waiting list of men and
women, longing to become indepen-
dent. The men and women are now
earning for $1,000 to $500 per week,
which brightens their lives and
makes them feel as il they were
worth little something in the world.
The Columbia Association for the
Blind of South Carolina cordially in
yites visitors to its workshop at No.
1431 Calhoun St., Columbia, S. c., at
all times.
Yours truly,
E. R. MURRAY, Field Secty.

CHICAGO HYLANIZED,
N. Y. TH0MPSONIZED
Rabbi Wise So Describes Sim
ilarity of Political Ma
chimes in Both Cities.

Special Despatch to THB New YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.--Chicago's Thomp-
son Tammany City Hall political ma
chine and New York's Tammany Hall
we're compared and excoriated by Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise of New York In an
address to-day before the City Club.
"The masses of these two progressive
cities are growing tired OF the little
grafters and are ready to hunt out ana
do battle with the big men behind the
big graft" declared Rabbi Wise. He
denounced the political machine of
Mayor Thompson. but laid it and its
resultant evidences of corruption In Chi
cago at the door of the big profteers.
New Ycrk's Thompson and Chicago's
Hylan" was the title announced by the
speaker.
"The fight for good government in
American cities Is losing ground because
the masses are wearied of the futility
of anti-graft negation and unsatisfied
even by the technique of improved city
administration" said DIR. Wise. They
are weary of fighting the Murphys in
New York and the equally corrupt bosses
Of equally corrupt political machines Of
both parties in Chicago. They are after
bigger game. They are out for the scalp
of Murphy's bosses In New York, power
ful. privileged. corrupt, withal outwardly
respectable and arrogantly posing as
leaders of the city's life.
'Ts not Chicago situated in the same
way? IL has become difficult to stir the
masses up to fight the little grafters,
while the mighty grafters go unwhipped
OF justice. The highbrows are hot against
the low brow grafters. but the lowbrows
are cool to the crafty highbrow re-
formers.
II am glad indeed that II happens
that New Yorks Thompson Is Tam
many Hall Democrat and that Chicago s
Hylan is a Tammany Hall Republican,
for Tammany Hall is a bipartisan dis
case in most American cities Is ii
not true that the difference between Re-
publican and Tammany Halls is to be
Ound IL the fact that the Democratic
Tammany Hall has the courage of its
| dopravity and the Republican the lack
OK ite conviction.
IF you care to end the reign Of the
| Hylans and the Thompsons you can do
| 20 when you will. but you must deeply
/ nd terribly care and must be ready to
offer New York and Chicago something
better--not good auditing and well
drilled clerks but the possibility OF
building up city that shall rest upon
the foundation of justice TO all and SER
vice to all.
when you convert to ideals of real
\ democracy those big profiteers who filch
millions for themselves. while they cry
aloud against the petty grating of a
city administration. then you will really
begin to awaken the conscience of no
bility in your city life and establish JUS
| tice and service for all"

Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Jan. "a.
Opponents of the Calder bill for regu-
lation of the coal industry had a clear
field to-day in the hearings on the meas
ure before the Senate Committee on
Manufactures. Former Governor OAK
ley G. Curtis of Maine. J. C. Fadeley.
coal dealer of this city. and w. ).
Thompson. secretary of the Anthracite
Coal Operators Association OF Philadei-
phia, presented arguments against any
legislation.
Former Governor Curtis insisted that
the bill aided the profiteers and pre-
dicted that II enacted il would send up
the prf ce of coal beyond reason" He
said 1t amounted to conspiracy between
the Government and the profiteers TO
increase coal prices and that 1t tempted
coal men to profiteer." He added that
the measure was loosely drawn and
seemed to him difficult of intelligent
Interpretation.
Mr.. Thompson denied there had been
unduly high prices in the anthracite IN
dustry, and said that the records fur
nished various Government agencies. In
Guiding the Federal Trade Commission.
"show that anthracite does not return
just and reasonable profit on its in
vestment''
He contended that anthracite prices
had increased only Sc per cent. though
wages Of employees had gone up 1877
per cent. and mine costs had advanced
10S per cent. He insisted that the min
ing of anthracite coal Is attended by
unusual hazards. so much so that 1T Is
extremely difficult to finance new COM
panies or to borrow money when needed
for improvements"
"The record of the anthracite indus
try" Mr.. Thompson said. "is that 1t has
attempted to distribute coal equitably
among the users; 1t has attempted to
modify prices to meet the views OF the
Department of Justice. and 1t Is now
undertaking to assure the proper prepa-
ration of all coal shipments.
The industry comes to the commit
tee now with the suggestion that If these
several lines of action are not sufficient
| It will do whatever else may seem de-
| sirable If the committee will indicate
what further it believes should be done" "
Hearings are to be continued In order
that actual coal operators and also mine
workers opposing the bill may testify.
