Elsie Ferguson Has
Dual Role in Footlights

Elsie Ferguson, who is starring iu
"Footlights," Paramount picture
which will be shown at the Magic City
Theater Friday, June 2, brings to her
role the finesse of both stage and
screen experience. The part, which
portrays an American who is intro
duced on the New York stage as a.
Russian actress, challenes the best of
Miss Ferguson's art. In one scene
she gives an impersonation of Eddie,
Foy and in another she has a fencing
bout. All through the picture there,
are two personalities at play, the one
of the puritanical New England girl
and that Of the pampered Russian ac-.
tress.
In making this picture Miss Fergu-
sons has broken a precedent. She has
refused to appear in many plays and
pictures dealing with the stage, feel
ing that no true presentation of the
profession has been given.
"FOOtlights" tells the story of q
vaudeville entertainer who becomes
the most famous actress in America.
Her rise to fame, although unique In,
every way, is made through struggles.
hardships and sacrifices. 1t is not
the exaggerated story of an overnight.
career with flowers and dinner par
ties. To reach this height Lizzie Par
sons had to give up her friends and
past associations and lose her identity
in that of a Russian.

The cooperative marketing farmers
are making their Victory Drive" dur
ing this month.
The alfalfa fields are looking fine
lust now, and most of them are prom
ising heavy crops next month.
The outlook is that there will be a
good many oats harvested as early as
the first week in May this year. This
will be especially true of oats sowed in
September and October. They are
heading out in many fields, and hurry
ing on to maturity at q rapid rate.
The big reservoir at Bridgewater, N.
c., known as Lake James, which has
been receiving the flow of Catawba
river since last summer including the
freshets,. lacks yet about Is per cent of
being full to the top. The reservoir is
the reason why there have been no
floods on the lower reaches Of the river
during the winter.

on. thes farm of Robert Rice 1f+miles
east of Charlotte, about $3.50 o'clock
Sunday morning. Coroner Hovis said
the evidence indicated that Helms had
become rather suddenly insane, prob
ably as a result OF continued Ill health,
as he had been suffering from
chronic stomach disease and had ap-
peared depressed when talking with a
brother a day or two ago about his
"hopeless" condition. According TO
little Ruby Lee Helms, she. was walk
ing about in the yard with the nine
months old baby, HaZeline, while her
mother prepared breakfast, when her
father approached with an axe and
with the handle knocked the baby
from her arms, then he went into the
house and with the axe Drained two
children in bed while she looked on
through the window, the two being
Brocho, aged six and Blocker, aged
four. He then grabbed a shotgun,
went out into the yard, placed the
muzzle against his cheek, the gun
standing on the ground, reached down
and pressed the trigger with his
thumb, the load blowing off the top
of the head. Mrs. Helms and an
other child, in addition to Ruby Lee
Helms, escaped without injury and
gave the alarm. Soon neighbors
were on the scene and later Coroner
Hovis The baby did not die instant
ly, but was taken to hospital in
Charlotte, where 1t died about two
hours later. 1t was said that Helms
was formerly q cotton mill operative
at Charlotte, but soon moved to
the farm.

Proqress.


In connection with the cooperative
marketing proposition it Is common. to
hear the question::
"Yes, it sounds like a good thing;
but are they going to let 1t die like
they did the Alliance and the Farmers
Union?"
Quite a logical question that; but
while it is echoed by honest farmers,
it did, not originate with them; but
rather with people who are hostile to
any and everything that seeks to i'm
prove the condition of the farmers.
Big, broad minded builders recognize
that the prosperity Of the country as
whole depends upon the prosperity of
the farmers.
A narrow, ignorant, doless class of
leeches on the body polite find it easier
to feather nests robbing ignorant farm
ers than to make an honest living out
of prosperous well-to-do farmers.
Real progress and prosperity always
means the elimination Of the dishonest
little pikers Of every class.
The Grange is dead, perhaps, but the
work it did is still living
The Farmers Alliance did more to
contribute to the uplift of agriculture
than has any other agricultural move
ment in the history of the country.
The Farmers Union has been Of
great value in the same direction.
The South Carolina Cotton associa-
tion has been built on the Grange, the
Farmers Alliance and the Farmers
Union.
Without the warehouse movement
and the cotton association the market
ing movement would never have been
possible.
The marketing association is 3. good
thing and it is going to succeed.

fered loss by some of the troops under
his command; but he knows nothing
about it. All kinds of charges are be-
ing brought against Seminoff. Colonel
Charles II. Morrow of Frankfort, KY,
who was in command of American
troops in Siberia in 1920, writes Secrr-
tary Hughes that Seminoff "is cow
ardly, unscrupulous enemy of Ameri-
ca, a robber and a murderer" Semi
noff is accused of having caused the
death of number of Americans in
Russia. 1t was announced last
Saturday that Senator Borah, chair
man Of the senate committee on educa-
ton and labor, would Immediately seek
authority for a special investigation of
the presence of Seminoff in the United
States. The senator also seeks to de-
velop some information as to what the
American government has had to do
with the anti -Bolshevik activities in
Russia anyway.

Cooperative Marketing.

1t was a wonderfully clear and forci
BILE presentation Of the cooperative
marketing proposition that Clarence
Poe made in the courthouse last Fri
day afternoon; and it is strange indeed
that any farmer who is interested in
the highest welfare of himself and 9TH
er farmers should continue to hold
back.
Mr.. Poe showed in the first place,
that the cotton farmer has no system
of marketing; but he dumps his cot
ton on the market at the other fellows
appraisement Of it's quality and at
whatever price the other fellow is will
ing to give. He showed in the second
place that cooperative marketing has
been successfully worked out with re-
gard to other crops, and that coopera-
tive farmers generally are getting bet
ter prices for their products than non
cooperative farmers.
While making it clear that he would
not reflect upon cotton buyers as a
whole, nevertheless he made it equally
clear that cotton buyers had a system
OF cooperation among themselves, and
that as the result of this system cotton
was often undergraded, and as often
purchased for less than it's value.
Next he pointed out the fact that for
lack Of system in the matter, there are
many more cotton buyers than are nee
essary to handle the crop. All these
buyers who get anything at all out of
the business, get what they do get at
the expense of the cotton crop. There
are at least three times as many cot
ton buyers as there should be, and. the
cooperative system will cut this part
Of the marketing expenses two thirds.
1t was made clear that the signing
Of the cooperative contract could not
possibly hamper the cotton producer
financially or otherwise; he would still
be able to get as much money as he
could have otherwise gotten and he
could probably get it at less rate Of
interest.

ASK EoR REDUCTION

Request that the South Carolina
Tax Commission reduce real estate
values in York county 20 per cent. in
the assessment for 1922, is made by
J. II. Crawford of McConnellsville,
chairman of the York county board Of
equalization in q letter addressed 10
the state tax commission in Columbia.
The request to the commission fol-
lows a resolution passed by the coun-
ty board last Friday when the men,
bers Of the board were UNANIMOUSLY
in favor of such q reduction. In his
letter the chairman of the county
board points out that while a good
many of the counties will make re-
ductions themselves, the York county
board decided to leave the matter up
to tile state commission. Chairman
Crawford's letter to the state tax
commission is as follows:
The York County Equalization
Board at their first meeting before the
Tax Returns were passed on, decided
that they would use the old assess
men, on real estate of 1918 as fixed by
the state tax commission, for the
basis of the new assessments for this
year.
All of the different boards or the
county have done this and tried to
hold total valuation up to what it was
in 1918. This was all done with the
understanding that we would then
request the commission to make a
general reduction of at least 20 per
cent. on all the real estate in the
country. A resolution was unani-
mously passed at their meeting held
on this the 7th day of April, 1922, and
I. as chairman. am instructed to take
this matter up with your commission
and earnestly request that you grant
this request. You will recall that in
1918 your commission added 45 per cent
