which must be kept moving. accord ing to railway officials and perishable goods only are given preference in freight shipments Since New Britain gets only two or three cars of perish able goods day, they can see no req son why coal should suffer much un- necessary delay.
 They say that coal shipments have decreased considerably to this city for some unknown reason, however, and that instead of the 10 or 12 cars which had been coming in right along there now are but half dozen cars a day coming in. This includes soft coal for the factories, which takes about half the shipment, and the oth- CT is practically evenly divided be- tween hard and soft coal. making but one or two carloads of anthracite ar irving daily. Since a coal car holds about 50 tons, and the city consumes 300 tons daily, it would appear that less than one-tllird the needed amount Is reaching here.
 Check-Up On Coal Yards.
 Probably the largest supply in the city is found in the yards of the City Coal and Wood Co. This company stocked its bins to their utmost ca pacity last fall and now has a sup ply which would take care of the normal trade for about three weeks. With almost everyone else in the city out of coal, it is not expected to last more than a week.
 A very discouraging view of the situation is held by this concern. Re- gently F. H. Johnson tried to buy a car of soft coal from local factory to help out his supply and was in- formed there was none to spare.
 This company's supply of coal is limited to few sizes There is little pea coal on hand, buckwheat is scarce and the. company cannot get it with out paying a premium, of stove coal it is not SO sure and of egg coal there Is little on hand.
 Several cars of coal are on sid ing consigned to the Citizens Coal Co.,, but when interviewed this morn ing officers of that concern did not know what sizes there were, but thought one was a car of buckwheat.

RUM PIRATES TAKE
 CARGO DEF RUNNER
fo,SOO Cases of Liquor Seized. Crew Is Robbed

To, ho, ho and bottle of rum!
 Yo. ho, ho and 10,b00 cases of 1t. to be more exact.
 Tho blood of every New Yorker who Is descended from Capt. Kidd or his associates cannot help but jingle beneath the veneer of modern nrti- ficiality at the news that the high seas again appear to be infested with pirates.
 Customs officials got report yes- terday from Nassau, Bahama, tellinS of the good ship Vincent A. White, and the sad fate that befell her hooch at the hands of rum pirates. It appears from the report that the ship was bouncing along, destined for St. Pierre. Miquelon.
 Suddenly from around the corner of particularly large wave. there hove into view a ship flying black flag bearing four stars and the motto: ''veni, vidi. vici" (1ll take the same.) This was off the New York coast.
 The pirates clambered aboard and announced, in Second or 11th Avenue accents, they were going to pirate the liquors, which they did. and further more took all the money from the crew.
 The value of the pirated cargo is supposed to be $1.05o,o00 at current New York liquor prices.
 John D. AppIeby, divisional chief of prohibition enforcement, said it was highly probable rum pirates are ply ing their trade of stopping vessels off the coast, stripping them of their liquor and smuggling. or trying to smuggie 1t into New York.
 The Jennie Bell, a 194-ton schooner, went aground at the mouth of the river near Handy Hook. and coast guards reported finding 15o cases of hooch aboard her. The dry boat Hansen of the prohibition navy went to hAr rescue, and also to the rescue of the hooch.
 Out at Montauk Point the British schooner Madonna V, with 5000 cases of Scotch aboard. grounded on sand spit and is breaking up, according to advices sent by the coast guards there ,o the customs officials in New York. r1cT CdpIdl1l tilu CICW WSIC tdhGll Oil, md are being held on orders from New York.
 Coming closer to land, there was he encounter between customs off ,ers and alleged bootleggers at Pier A, Brooklyn. Shots were exchanged. The officials declare they found 14o bottles of whiskey aboard the steam 1T Guinana, which was tied up at the lock. Two members of the crew, Her nan Hughes and Charles vogland, were arrested.
 MT. Appleby also said the skipper f rum runner double-crossed his mployers by selling the Christmas argo of hooch and then scuttling the chooner. The idea was to make the wners think both cargo and schooner lad gone down together. The skip | Ter is said to have departed a wealthy | nan, to spend the remainder of his avs in luxury. This was reported to dr. Appleby by an aviator whose bus ness it is to fly over the coast look ng for shore bootleggers.

COOPERATIVE COTTON ASSOCIATION

Farmer Friends: Cooperative mar
keting is national question now.
Nearly every commodity of the farmer
Is being considered now to be market
ed comparatively. California farmers
are marketing the following things CO.
operatlvely: Apricots, olives, beans,
pears, poultry, seed, grain almonds,
peaches, figs, cattle, apples, ra,slns,
dairy products, oranges, nursery pro-
ducts, walnuts, wool and berries Of all
kinds. The California farmers are in
the best condition financially than any
other farmers in the United States.
Why, because they are putting brains
In their farming as we'll as muscle.
Once several years ago they were more
nearly broke than the farmers are now
In Laurens county but they woke up,
organized and sold their products CO.
operatively. South Carolina farmers
can be in good shape financially five
years from today If they will only take
heed and sell their products cooper
atively. I have confidence in the
farmers Of this state because / am a
native South Carolinian and was raised
on the farm. The only hopes we have
to get cost out Of the production Of
any and all products is to sell together.
If enough cotton is signed up in the
South I'VE can control the price but we
cannot until then.
Some farmers will object to this
system Of marketing because they will
say that it will take their independence
away from them. You have no indie
pendenco Of your cotton now, except to
refuse what is offered to you for it.
The marketing system will give you
more independence than you have ever
had because you can put the cost of
production plus reasonable profit on
it the same as the merchant does, and
you are entitled to it. You have all the

CAMPAIGN IS FOUNDED
ON BUSINESS AND
COMMON SENSE


Combined. with Systematic Co-opcra.
ton and Judgment will be Power.
Ten reasons why persons living in
Laurens' trade district should buy in
Laurens:
First. "rhe buy in Laurens move
ment" is founded on logical business
basis, being reasoned out by the laws
of common sense and business science.
Second. "In union there is strength"
and combined with systematic coop
Grafton and the display of good judg-
ment becomes titanic power for good.
Third '"The buy in Laurens move
ment" in other words "patronize home
industry" That is the community Of
interest spirit which forms the basic
principle of "the buy in Laurens
movement" has for it's object the bet
terment OF all the people, the allied
industries and business interests,
which brings together the whole peo-
pie under two general classes, viz:
The producer and the consumer.
Fourth. The producer and consum-
ers are brought closer together and in
closer touch with this movement,
which has for it's aim the general bet
terment Of the combined interests Of
the whole people.
Fifth. "The buy IN 1Iaurens move
ment," If carried out in spirit, gives
us a community Of broad minded peo-
pie, which means better government,
better and more improved industries
Of every kind.
Sixth. When you can secure the
concerted efforts Of the whole people
of a certain trade district, along lines
looking to their mutual welfare and
protection, you can accomplish Won
derful results along, progressive lines.
Seventh. "The buy in Laurens
movement implies the betterment of
the homo. which is most beautiful and
commendable, and when studied and
considered from every viewpoint, must
appeal to every true man who loves
his homo,
eighth. The combined efforts OF
the citizens OF the trade district, by
boosting "the buy in Laurens move
ment," will secure the most beneficial
social and financial results.
Ninth. Hence 1t behooves each and
'seyery one Of us to enter into the move
ment with the spirit and understand
ing, and the success OF the j2buy in
! Laurens movement" is assured.
Tenth. Then great fsconbined
movement by great people will secure
a phenomenal boost for Laurens.
