pared and trust that each and
every enc Of YOU have come with
nearly and well whctted appctites.
And for our city, let nc saw that
ITS gates stand ajar and that all that
i'cs within its walls are yours.
10 the ladies, whose untirinp cf-
forts have made this OCCASION what
II is, and to the band for their de-
llghuful and inspiring music, wish
to extend my sincere thanks.
Wishing to be brief in these few
larting words, | can but fccbly cx-
Press my admiration and respect for
you who wore the gray; but | pledge
you that our love shall be as ever
lssting as the stars and as long as
the winds Acolian harps pour forth
tEcir sweet strains Of music, lust SO
long wifi you live IN the hearts of a
grateful people.

which was quite attractive in its ar

The program was IN charge of the
historian under the subject, "The
Bend Between the Negro Slaves and
their Masters in the South" roll call
being. answered by a quotation on
this slavery. Sholt reminiscent ac-
counts cf the family slave were Civ
en- by several of the members. Beau
tiful incidents grew out Of the mu-
tual sympathy and affection between
the slaves and their owners, furnish
ing themes fer song and story. "Black
Nanny" is historical character,
and she belongs to traditions and
memories dear to the southern heart.
This bond between masters and slave
IS living monument to the age in
which it existed. It was tie that
the Yankees were unable to under
stand and neither were they apie to
destroy it, al,ho the intervention of
the North brought on condition
harmful to both master and slave
affection lives only in an atmos-
p.,erc of kindness and responsive ac-
ton" The program closed with a

COTTON AND THE CO-OpERA
TIVE MOVEMENT
Greenvillle Daily News.

Greenvillle Daily News.
Was the sensational rise in cotton
to 70 cents a pound yesterday due in
any way to the influence of co-opcra-
tive marketing?
Has the uniformly good price at
which cotton has been selling this
fall been the result of co-operativ.
selling?
In the current issue of The Ma
tlon's Business, publication of the
United States Chamber Of Commerce
o. M. Kile, says:
The mere announcement in the
fall of 1921 that the co-operatives
had arranged to borrow $22,OOO,000
from the War Finance Corporation
caused an immediate and permanent
rise Of 3 to cents in cotton prices.
This loan meant that large quantity
@? Gotten that would ordinarily be
dumped en- the market and bought up
by spectators was no longer avail
able. Orderly marketing gives sup
ply and demand chance to fix the
right price, and this is very likely
to be several cents higher than the
forced price
With the growth Of the co-opcra-
tive associations during the last year
it is not at all unreasonable to az
tribute the rise IN prices primarily
to their influence. TIC read Mr. Kilos

it, as he has done IN the past. The

who know the cotton game. They
have eliminated under grading in the
cotton sold, doing their own grading
and saving their members thousands

Quantities of particular grades at

Why MEN PLAY POKER

Il Science has taken hand in tie
great american game Of draw poker.
Columbia university professors fain.
would learn the complex that causes
men to sit all night with cards and
chips, risking perfectly good coin Of
the realm in the somewhat hazardous
occupation of guessing what the other
fellow is holding. The department OF
psychology Of the university recently
called for volunteers to sit in at q
little. game that was observed and
studied by the instructors, Says the
San Francisco Chronicle. Poker faces,
reactions of the fellow who drew to q
pair and filled, how a man holds his
mouth while betting the works on q
bobtail flush, and other psychologi-
cal information was obtained. The
result OF the observations will be made
public in work on practical psychol-
ogy. When the learned professors
get down to cases they probably will
find men play poker for the same
reason they watch automobile races,
airplane stunts, trapeze performances.
or anything, else involving the ele-
nlent Of uncertainty. iii

Animal. "Pretend to Ole.

D. ~ y l { Il . I
Some animals can pretend to be dead
when they imagine they are going to
be hurt or. taken into captivity. i
+ A good example of this is seen in
the American hog-nose snake. This
! is small reptile about three and a
half feet in length, which has shovel
shaped snout.
S5i 1t is perfectly harmless, but many
people have thought 1t to be most dam
serpus, because, when 1t is alarmed it
raises its head and expands the skin
folds on its neck--in imitation of a
cobra.
II, however, no notice is taken OF
this performance, it pretends to be
dead, writing its body about as in
commissions. Lastly. it rolls over on
its back and remains perfectly mo-
tionless until the intruder is gone.
The Australian lingo dog is another
expert at fcisning death. Mr.. W.. s.
Berridge, L. z. s., in "Aiaryels Of the
Animal World" tells Of a "de. e.
dingo dog that was taken into / =
to be skinned. ,s..5S, S
This dog kept up its pretense Of
death and allowed a portion Of the
skin to be taken OFF before It moved
and gave the game away.
