COOPERATIVE COTTON MARKET
Plan is Great Constructive Agency I'm
Developing Southern Prosperity.

Columbia, Nov. 27.-Co-operative
marketing Of cotton Is the greatest
constructive force now working for
the development Of Southern pros
perity, in the opinion of Carl Will

Cotton Growers Exchange. Mr.. viii

''The orderly marketing program
followed by the cotton co-operatives
edged to be the great stabiliizng force
on cotton prices" said Mr.. Williams.
"Thus 1t has assured the Southern
farmers OF the good price for cotton
during the, period when farmers
themselves had cotton to sell. This
same result has been experienced by
other commodity cooperative assO-
Citations in the United States. Those
agricultural sections which have pro-
ftted for the longest period by this
system OF marketing are to-day first
In the United States in per capita
bank deposits, and among farmers
first in per. capita trade in stores,
first in good roads, first in quality of
rural schools. first in salaries Of
country teachers, first in number and
size Of country churches, first in sal
aries Of rural preachers, and first in
rural recreation.
"These things have direct relation
to city and town business. The ef-
feet Of the co-operatives has been to
increase the percentage of the con-
sumer's time, which the farmer re-
ceives, and thereby to increase his
buying power and raise his standard
of living. The natural result Is that
all business is benefited proportion
ally.
81 am very much pleased with the
progress Of the South Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Associa-
the support which has been given the
association by farmers, business mon
and the bankers of this State The
association has already passed the ex-
perimental stage and has become a
permanent part of Tho life Of South
Carolina. There is every indication
that it will handle more than 20 per
cent Of the total cotton crop Of South
Carolina this year, and that 1t has
become dominant figure In the cot
ton business Of this State.
Eight other State organizations
of similar size, character and policies
are working with the South Carolina
association. Their total membership
is more than $4,000 cotton farm
ers."

KID LEWIS LEARNED
 A THING OR TWO ON
 VISIT TO OLD U. 5. A.

LONDON. July 18.-Kid Lewis. the welter and middleweight champion of Great Britain, must have learned nruch during his long stay in the United States, despite his reverses in his last year there. for he has won all sorts of championships since re- turning home His latest achieve ment was knocking out Frank Burns, the middleweight champion of Aus tralia, making Lewis the title-holder of. the Empire in that division.
 Up until the 11th and last round of the bout BuriIs outpointed Lewis. in the opinion of several boxing ex- perts, but in that period the Kid made a clever feint and then crossed a smashing right to the jaw that landed the Australian on his back. Lewis was criticized for holding part of the way Burns lost the cham pionship. for which he had come all the way from Australia, but he took home gold medal for rescuing a drowning man. One night at his training camp Burns jumped out of bed and into the Thames in the dark after the unfortunate man. and sue ceeded in bringing him ashore.

NAVIGATES PACIFIC
 IN 34 FOOT CUTTER

PAPEETE Tahiti. July 1S-Harry Pidgeon, builder, master and sole navigator of the two-masted 34-foot cutter Islander, who acquired a knowledge of navigation from books without the aid of instructors or practical experience. and then set out ! alone from San Pedro, Cal, on No vcmber IS, 1921, arrived here safely May 21, 1922.
 His arrival set at rest newspa- per reports and beliefs of friends that he had been lost at sea. AS a mat ter of fact his long sea journey was as safe and full of pleasant thrills as Robert Louis Stevcnsons famous Travels With a Donkey"
 He arrived safely at tho Island of Nukuhiva, in the Marquesas archipel- ago, after a voyage of AZ days. In that island and the neighboring island of Uapu he remained four months exploring the valleys and interior plateaus and taking numerous photo graphs. Leaving there early in May he voyaged to the island of Takaroa, in the Paumotu group. and from there after a voyage of five days entered the harbor at Tahiti Pidgeon's boat is a craft of the "Seabird" type, 34 feet in length and 10 feet, 9 inches beam. and was built entirely by himself. The finish and sturdiness of it's construction have commanded the admiration of seafar- ing men at Tahiti.
 The first question put by everyone who has met Pidgeon has been re- garding his opportunities for sleep during his lonely voyage. Pidgeon assured his qucstioners that this was the least of his troubles, as the steadincss and seaworthyncss of his craft enabled him to lash the tiller, after setting the course. and allowing the boat to take care of herself while he slept.
 This voyage is not Pidgeon's first deep sea experience as he made a similar voyage to Honolulu in 1920. He has essaycd other adventures also. For sevcn years he passed every summer in the remote mountainous country of Northern British Columbia and Alaska hunting specimens of rare mountain sheep for the Field Museum at Chicago and the Smithsonian Mu- scum at Washington.

SILVER LEAD MINES
 TO OPEN PERMANENTLY
(Skagway Alaskan.) )

MT. J. M. Ruffner, accompanied by Mrs Ruffner, of Cincinnati. Ohio, who is president and managing trus- tee of the Atlin Silver-Lead Mining Company, and Mir Fred L. Morris, vice president and consulting engi- neer, arrived on one of the late boats.
 MT. Morris is mining engineer of note and has had years of ex- perience with some of the largest mining interests in the country.
 MT. Ruffner is taking into Atlin prominent business man of San Francisco, who is interested in the company, and these gentlemen are planning to make some large and immediate openings in the develop ment of the property.
 Work was begun a month or more ago at the mines with the view of preparing for extensive developments. and MT. Ruffner states. that in his opinion. operations will not again cease for years. The property seems to insure a steady and constant de- velopment. because 1t is nearer salt water than some of the other sue cessful properties in the Interior. thus assuring better freight rates, and the outlook is good for years of constant operation. The whole prop erty appears to warrant that this is the birth of another big mine.

OLD JOCKEY GETS
 BACK INTO SADDLE

LONDON, July 1S.-With a record of having ridden 1.500 winners in F years on tracks in the Antipodes. Barney Page, an Australian pockey has just come to London to resume the saddle on English tracks. The first thing he did on landing was to apply for a license and then an nounce that he was anxious to know if he could teach anything to Eng fish riders.
 Page lauded the ,Australasian rule that forces a rider, once he has en tered the jockeys room at the track, to remain there until the days racing ia finished and to keep absolutely away from the public. This applies whether the jockey is working or not 'In Australia racing is booming and there are undoubtedly many good jockeys there," he said.
