Maximum Increase OF 37R
Cents a Yard; Based on
Raw Wool Prices of Month
Ago !; 1892 at S2.1o

/ The long expected advances in woolen
and worsted fabrics for use in mems
apparel for next springs wear were
made yesterday by the American Wool
en- Company. The maximum advance
was 371s cents yard on one of the
worsted fabrics made by the company's
Wood mill. The advances were irregular
and are understood to have been fig
ured on the basis of raw wool as it
was about a month ago. Due to the
uneven advances in various grades of
raw wool that go into the fabrics made
| by the company the price increases on
cloth were decidedly irregular.
The following schedule gives some
idea of advances made:

-Worsteds appear to show relatively
larger advance than woolens. The COM
pany's No. 1892 serge, long standard
fabric in the trade, was priced at S2.70
a yard. This fabric was offered for
next spring, on July II, at $3.50 yard.
1t was opened for fall 1922, at $2.35
yard, and advanced in three successive
stages to $2.67ha. During early 1920 it
was selling around S5 yard or more,
although the highest price the COM
pany ever set on it was $3.50 yard
For spring, 1921, it was priced at
$3.67h and for fall, 1921, at $2.37h,
later being advanced to $2.42h.

Detroit. Rochester Game at Hamlet

Hamlet, March 1.-THE Detroit
Tigers, who will play here March %
in a big exhibition same a"'!nst the
Rochester International League ClTb,
OF which George Stal!ingS is ne own
er and Fred Merile the capain, claim
a distinction this year which no c,Hb
in the history Of baseball has 2reT'1r'-
ly claimed. Detroit carries the g. M
pion batSmen of the American | c12uC
for last year and the runner IL IA
well. Harry Heilmann the hrnad-
shouldered giant of the Detroit ou'itelG
is the swat king of the American Lea
que. Right behind him is Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb, manager of the team and
the man who, with the exception OF
three seasons, led the league in hitting
in every year since 1907. Heilmann
batted 1874 last year and Cobb finished
the season a patty five points behind.
All last season there was an inter
esting race within a race, He!lma'
against Cobb, for the batting champion
ship while the clubs were batting TO
the pennant. This year will be {
duplicate of last years contest, Cobb
trying to regain possession of the bat
ting crown while his husky right
fielder is trying to hold it. And the
funny thing about it all IS that the
two are the best of friends and not a
particle of jealousy in the makeup OF
either one of them.
Cobb and Heilmann are both hitting
we'll upon the spring training trip.
Their work in these games will give
an indication Of what may be expect
ed of them during the season. The
general impression is that the batting
leader this year will not hit as high
as .375, but it will be safer to make
these predictions after the exhibition
games are ended. Last spring it be-
came apparent that Cobb would find
Heilmann his most dangerous rival
Heilmann at that time gave indications
that he would prove the surprise o
the baseball season by his batting
And so it proved, for prior to last
season Heilmann was never top
notcher with the stick.
Cobb. as everyone is aware of, is :
left handed batsman while Heilmar
bats from the opposite side Of the
plate. Although losing the batting
championship this year Cobb still re
tains the leading left-handed battin'
honors.

Bridge Completed

On Friday March 18th the reinforc-
ed concrete bridge over the Six Mile
branch on the Chesterfield road will
be opened to the traffic. This Federal
Aid Bridge was designed to carry two
Is ton trucks on the bridge at the
same time with a reasonable factor
of safety. The increased loading fac
tor was used so as to care for the traf-
fic on the future Calhoun Highway Of
which this is to be a link.
The bridge was constructed in ac-
cordance with the plans and under
the supervision of the State Highway
Department, whose specifications meet
those of the U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads. The County acted in the ca
pacity Of contractor and employed Mr.
Theodore McArn to build the bridge
while Mr.. Oscar Brasington was en-
ployed to drive the piles. The bridge
contains $500 pounds of reinforcing
steel and 125 yards of concrete. In
order to carry the structure it was
necessary to drive % piles or the
west side and II piles on the east side.
These piles are u inches in diameter
and were driven to a penetration Of
from fifteen to nineteen feet
The public will realize from he
foregoing that this bridge is more than
an ordinary concrete bridge aad re-
quired a great deal of time and work
for proper construction.

COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT GAINS
MOMENTUM
Meeting in Cheraw.
State, March II, 1922.

State, March ~, 1922.
Cheraw, March 11.-Dr. c. c. Tay-
lor of the State college of Raleigh,
y. c.. spoke here yesterday in. be-
half of the cotton cooperative market
ing movement and was heard by an
interested crowd. He came in the
place of Clarence Poe, editor of The
Progressive Farmer, who was i'll with
influenza.
DR.. Tayor is an able speaker and
held the closest attention of his hear
ers as he drove home powerful argu-
ments in favor of the cooperative
marketing of cotton. He told of the
great success of the campaign in
North Carolina which set out TO sign
up 100000 bales and which signed up
100000, and paid high tribute to the
character of the men who have been
elected as officers of the association,
saying that better men could not have
been found in the state of North Caro-
lima. This, ne said, was in line with
the action taken. in other states.
where the associations have been or
ganized.
DR.. Taylor named eight cardinel
principles of the marketing associa-
tion, as follows:
First. 1t will grade and staple every
bale of cotton delivered to it. This,
he said, will place a true value on
the cotton in terms of quality.
Second. 1t will warehouse ali cot
ton delivered to it by its members
This will eliminate all country dam
age.
Third. It will sell all of its cotton
in even running lots, each grade and
staple within its own pool. This, Dr.
Taylor said, will assure higher price
because the spinner is willing to pay
Il
only of the kind he desires.
Fourth 1t will sell on its own SAM
pie and on its warehouse certificates.
This. he said, would prevent under
grading and save the waste due to un-
necessary sampling, thus eliminating
what is known as the "city crop"
Fifth. 1t will sell collectively and
only when the market demands. This,
the speaker claimed, would reduc'
speculation and stabilize prices.
Sixth. 1t will sell cotton as directly
as possible to the spinner and eX-
porter. This will shorten the route
from the farm to the hill, the speaker
said.
Seventh. 1t will endeavor to deter
mine the true cost of production each
year. This will have bearing to
ward getting fair prices.
Eighth. 1t will encourage the pre-
duction Of uniform and standard vari-
eties by communities This will tend
to improve the quality and value of
the cotton grown.
r. c. Hamer, chairman of the cam
paign committee, told of the splendi6
progress being made in the campaign
and expressed complete cOnfidenc
that the state would sign its quota.
He told of the splendid cooperation
being given by farmers and h
and business men towards putting T.
campaign over.

IN MEMORIAM


There is no DEATH The stars 60 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens jewelled crown
They shine forevermore."
She came among us in the prime of
a useful womanhood. Lovely in per-
son and in character, she at once
made place for herself in our hearts
and in the active life of the church.
which she loved with unwavering
loyalty to the end of her life.
Responsive to every call made in
the name of her Lord, she was an i'm
portant factor in the growth of her
church, and was always interested
in the advancement of every good
work in the community.
When failing health forced her to
relinquish one by one the duties she
loved, it grieved her sorely, and was
also a sorrow to those who walked
the path of service with her.
In a remarkable degree she possess
ed the spirit of youth. Extreme cid
age would have found this spirit un-
dimmed, had she been spared so long.
After months of suffering whose fires
must have burned from her soul all of
human dross, she passed from US in
the youth Of old age.
We mourn our loss, and will tender
ly cherish beautiful memories of the
years of association with her, while
we envision her still serving her Mas
ter and happy in the glory of His
presence.

From the above results it is evl-
dent that the previous recomemnda-
tions of Cleveland Big Boil, Dixie
Triumph, and Weber 49 for South
Carolina are amply justified, as these
varieties have ranked high consis-
tently in yield and money value per
acre.
Deltatype Weber, which has been
recommended, is a new strain de-
veloped since these tests were started.
Earliness, small type plant, large
bolls, productiveness, and excellent
staple are among its good qualities
that warrant its recommendation.
