ASSOCIATION

Columbia, Sept. 21-The largest
delivery of old cotton yet made to
the South, Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative Association was made
yesterday by Josh Kirven, of Darl-
ington, who turned over 1900 bales
of old long staple cotton to the
association. Delivery Of this cot
ton under the terms Of the con-
tract was optional, but Mr.. Kirven
decided that he would market the
cotton through the association.
Officials of the association said
today that old cotton was pouring
in from every section Of the state.
Members of the organization are
delighted with the advances which
they are receiving, according to let
ters which are being received at
Headquarters. The association is
now making an initial advance of
IL cents a pound Oh short staple,
old and new cotton, and Is cents a
pound on long staple, old and new.
The first fire to occur in asso-
citation cotton was in Lee county
Monday afternoon, when some cot
ton belonging to L. D. WEIGH, of
Elliott, was burned en- route from
the gin to the depot. Mr.. Welch,
notified the association Tuesday OF
his loss and Wednesday at noon

Friday-Up to Sen
ate

Washington. Sept. 20.-A resolu-
ton calling for sine die adjourn
ment at 2 p. m. Friday was adopt
ed by the house today by an over
whelming vote and the measure
was sent. to the senate which is
expected to adopt it, if it is evident
it can complete it's business by that
time. Otherwise the senate will

The house practically disposed
Of its pressing business with its ac-

members were urged by Represen-
tative Mcnden Of Wyoming, Re
publican leader, to remain on the
job for possible action on a re-
quest from the president for spe-
|cial appropriation for relief of
American refugees in the Near

before it for disposition the Liber-

act and certain appropriation bills
was considered at a conference to-
day between President Harding and
Speaker Gillette. of the house, Sem
ator Lodge of Massachusetts,, the
Republican senate leader, and
Representative Afondel, the Repub-
lican house leader. The congress
siona1 leaders were said to favor
such step and President Harding
has indicated that it was under
consideration.
In the closing moments of the
house session today Mr.. Mondell
sought unanimous consent for two
minutes in which to tell of the
achievements of this congress and
Representative Garrett Of Tennes-
see, Democratic leader, asked if the
story could not be told in one min
ute.
.sTheS congress has, transacted
more important business during the
present session than was ever
transacted by any congress in
American history" said Mr. Mon
dell, after which he asked the
privilege of extending his remarks.
II suggest that the gentleman
from Wyoming be given an hour in
which to tell what congress has
failed to do" said Representative
London (Socialist) Of New York.
Mr. Garrett obtained permission
to extend his remarks on "the nom

that he might include some obser-
vations on the subject by the sec
retary Of war and others.

Women at the Polls
News and Courier3

tNeWS ana COurier3
In Clarendon County, where 100
women were enrolled at the Wood
row Wilson box, the vote in the
second primary last Tuesday stood !:
Blease 10, Mcleod 107. In the city
of Sumter, where there was an en-
rollment of 1,150 men and 529 wo-
men, total of 1679-the vote cast
last Tuesday totaled 1.49S, all but
ia votes being cast, the vote stand
ing: Blease 223, Mcleod 1875.
It would be very difficult. prob
ably impossible. to determine with
any accuracy just how many wo-
men voted in the second primary
|on Tuesday. Any e. s tt m a e
as to how they voted would be
|guesswork pure and simple Never
theless we. think that it can be as
serted with conviction that in this
ELECTION the influence Of the wo-
man vote. was decidedly wholesome.
It may be credited with having Civ
en- us one OF the quietest campaigns
South Carolina has ever had, more
free of n,udslinging than any other
campaign Of like importance and
fundamental interest. The pres
ence of the women at the polls was
beneficial at many places also
There is no possible question that
the women Of South Carolina, the
great majority Of them, not only
did not want the vote. but were
opposed TO having it trust upon
them. This done. however, a great
many Of them this summer took
their new responsibilities very Sc
riousiy and patriotically, and this
in spite Of the bad example set
them by some Of their sex who, af-
ter leading in the. agitation for the
vote, then ran away. deserting their
duty for the sake Of their ease and
comfort and pleasure.

RISE IN PRICE
OF COTTON
Warehouse Cona1nis-
sioner Talks of For
ty Cents. Advises
TO Go Slow

Columbia, Sept. 21.-Cotton at
s5 or 40 cents a pound before an
other year is entirely within the
bounds Of reason, according to j.
clifton Rivers. warehouse commits
sioner, in a statement issued yes
terday
Mr.. Rivers urges to farmers to
% slow in offering their cotton for
sale as he expects a gain Of from
SIS to $50 a bale within a few
weeks. b 5l.1
In discussing the general situa-
ton, Mr.. Rivers made the follow
Ing statement:
tKnowing that it is not good
policy to advise people concerning
the future prices Of cotton, I have
refrained so FAR this year from ap-
peaTing in the public prints, but
conditions have forced themselves
upon us, and in the face of a mar
ket steady and strong, with the
sale Of Texas cotton at the rate
OF 50 600 bales per day. together
with an Industrial situation, the
like Of which at marketing time
the cotton belt has never expert
enced. II is time for somebody to,
sit up and take notice:
Cotton with all this trade OF
selling and violent bearish cir
cumstances has remained steady at
a price around % cents per
pound; therefore, those who have
studied the situation are convinced
that as soon as the supply begins
to diminish and the industrial sit
uation has prospect Of settling.
a great zeal higher prices than at
present will be realized for spot
cotton.
-It. therefore, behooves every
farmer who has a. bale of cotton TO
go slow in offering it for sale, as
a few weeks, in the opinion of the
writer. viii show gain OF SIS to
$50 per bale, in the amount rea-
lied from such sale. Store your
cotton in a state warehouse and get
a receipt issued by the state and
relieve yourselves of your liabfli-
ties and watch your product in
crease in value shortly by leaps and
bounds, at a minimum cost. It IS
entirely within the bounds of rea-
son TO predict that cotton will
bring 50 to 40 cents per pound be-
fore another year, and this In
crease in value should be turned
into the hands of the farmers ratli-
ser than into the hands of the cot
ton spectators. Sell just as lit
tie cotton at present prices as you
possibly can and store and hold
for few weeks and realize the
profit, which in my opinion and
in the opinion of others who have
studied the situation, viii be a great
increase over the present price,

All the miners were found be-
hind the second Of two buikheads
they had built in cross-cut when
4,35e feet down in the mine. BY
ron O. Pickagd, chief OF the fed
eral bureau of mines for this dis
trict, was the first man to go be-
hind the bulkhead and discovered
the bodies.
Pickard, on an earlier exp1ora-
tion behind the bulkhead, had
counted forty-two bodies and ex-
pressed the belief then that there
were others there.
The note found read as fol-
lows:
as a. m.. gas bad
/ The same note bore :scrawIed
figure So apparently indicating
the same man had attempted to
leave word for those who might
come after. of the condition of the

Mine officials declared that the
condition of the cress-cut behind
the buli,head was such that slife
could no. have been sustained
there by. the entombed men for
more than five hours.
The bodies were piled one on
top of another and decomposition
had progressed SO far that ident1-
hcation would be impossible, Pick
