on Main street in Columbia, and these
quarters are ideally suited for the
work. The office force consists Of n
staff Of about fifty workers including
the higher officials of the association
and a number of stenographers and
other clerical workers
one of the most interesting features
in connection with the visit to the
main offices was the visit to the cot
ton grading room in the Masonic
temple, a large, airy room on the third
floor front, well lighted and painted
in a tint most suitable for the import
ant work of grading of cotton. In the
grading room were samples Of hun
dreds of bales Of cotton that had been
graded. the samples being carefully
separated and the most careful system
of handling being practiced.
The work of the organization has
been gotten in fine shape, it was stat
ed and the business OF the association
is running along as well as could be eX-
pected. New members are costantly
being added and the volume of cotton
that will be handled by the associa-
ton within the next few months will
greatly exceed original estimates.
When the party of York county men
visited the Offices Of the association
last Wednesday a number of young
ladies were busily engaged in mailing
copies of Cooperation" a periodical
published in the interests Of the asso-
citation to the members of the associa-
ton over the state. The publication is
issued about twice a month and every
farmer who sells his cotton through
the association is furnished with copy
in order that he might be kept inform
ed of its progress.
1t was stated that the Cooperative
Cotton Growers Association was really
the child of the American Cotton Asso-
citation and because Of the fact that the
cotton association is sponsor for 1t, an
effort is going to be made this fall to
build up the membership Of the cotton
association, especially in South Caro-
| lima.
Officials OF the Cooperative Cotton
Marketing Association said Wednesday
that while there were a few little
kinks" to straighten out, farmers
whose cotton they are handling had
little or no fault to find with the con-
duct of the big business and they felt
quite confident that tho scheme was
going to work out well and for the
best interests of all parties concerned.

to talk of the war between the Greeks
and the Turks and the European situa-
ton generally. 1T is all bad business"
said Pete. "Tt would be no big sur
prise to me if it all didn't mean an
other big war and all of Europe in It
before they get through. Maybe Unit
ed States, too, eh? Now France, she
Is backing the Turks. England is
backing the Greeks. Germany sympa-
thiZes with England and Russia with
france and also Bulgaria with France.
That's the way it looks to me. The
Greeks after the big war started to

mad let them alone the Greeks would

there'S no mistake about that. But no,
france she must help the Turks. She

AS to whether or not the president
will re-appoint w. 2. G.. Harding as
governor Of the Federal Reserve board,
there has been no public decision by
the president. Mr.. Harding'S term has
expired; but the president is still
holding his decision. There is strong
pressure for the appointment Of a
dirt farmer. The phrase carries the
the welfare of the tiller Of the soil
rather than the more strictly financial
interests. The proposition, however, is
held by many Us merely a reason for
getting rid of w. p. G. Harding and
giving the place to another. It is ar
Eued that since the financial policy of
the government is dominated by big
business, it makes no difference wheth-
or w. p. G.. Harding or some one else
is appointed. There is n strong belief
in well-informed quarters that Sccre-
tary Mellon is favorable to the reap
pointmcnt of Governor Harding, and
that the president is only waiting un-
til the adjournment of the senate to
carry out purpose that he has al
ready decided upon. The appointment
is being deferred, it is believed, be-
cause there is clear understanding CT
the row that would be caused if Mr..
Harding's name should go to the SEN
atc now. In the case of IN appoint
mcnt after the s"Natc adjourns, how
ever there is 4 probability that some
of the senators who are now carrying
their knives whcttcd will, before the
next session of the senate, find some
thing else to occupy their attention.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.

Patrons and trustees of Dixie, Fill
bert and Bethany school districts have
reached an agreement whereby Dixie
school district is to he abolished and
about three -fourths of the district ter
ritory will be placed in Bethany dis
triCt and onc-fourth in FilbCrt district.
The majority Of the pupils of the pres
ent Dixie school will be enrolled in
the Bethany school in the future, with
the minority going to Filbert. Dixie
district pupils who go TO Bethany Will
be carried there daily in an automo-
bile truck.
The plan is one that is said to have
been practically unanimously agreed
upon. While it may be necessary to
Increase the number of teachers in the
future because Of the addition of the
Dixie pupils, for the present the Beth
any faculty of four teachers will take
care of the new pupils.

THE LIGHT COTTON CROP.

While he admits that the boil wee
vii has done damage a plenty, Mr.. j.
D. Smith of Yorliville No 1, is of opin-
ion that the boil weevil is not the only
factor that has contributed to the
shortness of the cotton crop.
I'VE find in picking" he said, that
there are many small bolls that are
not properly filled out, and the actual
yield does not come up to preliminary
estimates. In my opinion q part of the
trouble is due to poor preparation, the
use of less fertilizer and other causes.
But of course, l would not have you
understand me rs eXcusing the wecvil.
He has contributed his full share"
Mr. Smith also mentioned the fact
that many bOlls that appear 10 have
been fully maturcd, turn out TO have
been ruined by the wecvil

have cost if VIC had not gone into the,
war at all, or If the war had lasted a
year or two longer.
But after all the bonus bill is moth
ing but farce-a political football,
and it was never intended otherwise.
If ii had been intended otherwise II
would have been so drawn that 1t
would provide real bonuses according
to q reasonably defensible program Of
adjustment and provision would have
been made for paying it by means of
equitably laid taxation.
There is no such thing as satisfying
anybody in a matter like this, as wit
ness the $50 per capita awarded by
the Democrats, when the full respon-
sibility rested on them. But the effect
'of that distribution was only demand
for more" and the promise of the
Republicans that If they were put into
power they would give ''more." The
distribution of $500 now would only be
followed by the same demand for
more"
And the outstanding feature Of this
whole controversy over the bonus bill
has been the struggle between the
Democrats and Republicans for politi-
cal advantage. With the Republicans
in the majority and therefore respon-
sible, the Democrats could very read
lily argue for unlimited prodigality re-
gardless of consequences, which they
did. And the Republicans, just as. the
Democrats understood had to make
believe how willing they were and still
find some way Of getting from under.
Taken all in all, it was n fool bill
that they finally got up. Both sides
knew it, and nobody expected it to Sc
cure the approval OF the president.
Now both sides, will go to the SOL
diers with what we tried to do, rs ev-
idenced by their individual votes, and
the Democrats will point out what the
soldiers would have received except for
the disapproval Of Republican pres
ident.
This bonus business is likely to fig
ure in petty politics for many years to
come, and finally it will be disposed
of in some manner by the soldiers
themselves-after the service men
have become members of congress.

We gather from the dispatches that
Kemal Pasha, claiming the privilege
as a right is threatening to cross the
Dardanelles after the retreating Greeks.
France and Italy, committed with
Great Britain against allowing any
thing of the kind have withdrawn their
troops. England says Kemal shall not
pass. She has on the spot small force
of troops with others coming, and her
navy is there. Kemal says he will not
be held back, Great Britain says that
if he moves forward she will fight. All
indications are that Great Britain will
stand her ground regardless, and un-
less Kemal backs down there will be
war. ...

The most general report among the
farmers rs that cotton will have been
picked clean by the middle of October.
People who notice such things are

frost is already due.
Mr.. A. F. Lever of the Near East Re-

The joking reference that was made
in The Yorkville Enquirer OF Tuesday
TO that forfeiture that was exacted Of
Governor Harvey and Mr.. Mauldin in
the courthouse two years ago, has pro-
voked some little discussion. Most
people had forgotten all about the in
cident; but still Governor Harvey
likes to refer to it in conversation with
Yorkville friends 1t would not be fair
to say that he has ever taken the mat
ter to heart; but nevertheless he does
not think that the forfeiture should
have been imposed, and he is probably
right about it. Anyhow there is quite
bit that could be said on his side of
the case. In the first place, the alter
cation developed out Of the heat of q
public debate being held under author
ity Of law, in q meeting that was be-
ing held under statutory auspices. The
chairman Of the meeting was in full
judicial authority over it, and it is eX-
tremely doubtful as to whether the po-
lice did or could have any authority
except at the request of the chairman
in charge. So farn is known the po-
lice did not witness the affair and
there was no complaint to the police.
The police acted solely on rumor
that there had been q scrap, and the
iol lSiluLSSs.h SAS lS~NtkLISNt VII tIiftI bb"io'
They We're retained because the prin-
cipals to the mishap did not care to
follow up the matter; but it is reason
ably certain that had they demanded
a legal hearing the money would have
been returned. Had similar scrap
occurred between two attorneys dur
ing q session of court, it would have
been within the discretion of the court
to punish the participants for con-
tempt, or pass the matter over with an
apology, which latter course would
probably have been followed. That
the police acted in perfect good faith,
there is no reason tc question, and that
our good friend, the governor, who
probably never before ran afoul of the
law, should feel little sensitive is not
surprising. But as to the return of
the fines or anything like that, Nix.
Although municipalities have ways OF
getting money and spending it, they
have no way Of giving it back.

The house on Wednesday overTode
the presidents veto of the bonus bill
by a vote of 25S to "a, and the senate
sustained it by a vote of Al to 2S. Tie
house vote to sustain came mainly
from Eastern and Southern represen-
tatives and the senate vote came
mainly from senator's who are not
standing for reelection next month.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who
is standing for e-election in Novem-
Der, and whose constituency is natur-
ally opposed to the bonus, voted TO
override the veto. No one thinks that
Mr.. Lodge would have voted that way
under ordinary conditions. Senator
Dial of South Carolina, who comes up
for reelection two years from now,
voted to sustain the veto.

All Should Reuister.

Perhaps there is no danger and per-
haps there is; but the part of safety
requires that all citizens of South Car
olina who desire to confirm the results
Of the recent primary election, should
see to it that they are prepared to
vote in the general election on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in No
yember
1t must be remembered that the re-
cent primary was merely for the pur-
pose of nomination and that it has
no effect by way Of election.
Heretofore, the primary has settled
everything, and it may be that the
primary has settled everything again;
but that is not at all certain.
The Republican state convention
held in Columbia last Tuesday is of
far more significance than usual.
Heretofore, since about 1880, Repub-
lican conventions in South Carolina
have been held mainly as o matter of
form with the object OF securing reg
ularity for the men who desired to
trade their votes in the national Re-
publican convention for presidential
nominees.
The principal inducement to these
national conventions was either the
cash price OF votes, or the chance of
controlling political patronage in the
event Of Republican success end the
subsequent recognition of the aggre-
cation that sent the delegates.
But the situation looks very differ
ent now. The Republicans are in
power in Washington and the party
represented in that convention Tues
day has the full recognition of the ma
tional administration.
That the organization headed by
Joseph w. Tolbert has full control Of
national patronage there is no ques-
ton.
The national administration expects
the Republican party in South Caro-
lima from now on to do more than
merely distribute the patronage, and
the party must do all in its power to
make good.
1t is quite possible that the Repub-
leans will put out 4 full state ticket
in South Carolina and it is more than
probable that they will name q man
for congress in each congressional dis
trict.
No enrolment is required for the
general election and there is to be no
ballot.
All that is necessary to enable
citizen to vote is the possession of n
registration certificate, and no man or
woman may vote without u rcgistra-
ton certificate.
Ordinarily the vote in the general
election is very small, simply because
It is commonly understood that all is
sues have been settled in the primary.
That the Republican registration in
this state is small there is no question:
but it must be remembered that the
Democratic registration, including the
women, is not up to half strength.
There is only one more regular reg
lstratjon day before the general cleo
Lion-the first Monday in October.
The registration board, if it sees
proper, may register people prior to
that time; but no voter may vote on
4 registration certificate issued with
in thirty days Of the election.
1t is very important that every Dem
ocrat in South Carolina who is not
now possessed of a registration certifi-
cate should procure one on or before
The first Monday in October.
