BELIEVES will be the gigantic, awe-inspiring labor
vote at the next election.
Unfortunately for labor, the election will NOT be like
this picture. When the votes counted, the labor
vote usual will be divided up and except for little
demonstrations here and there, there won't be any real
labor vote. Part of labors vote will be Democratic,
part will be- Republican, and Labor will have little to
do with it.
Labor with good job will vote Republican; labor
out of job, to extent will vote against Republic

ILL AAlAAAAOh W thO
Hearst papers Bonus-Law-
Sales Tax Petition will give
the President and Congress light
on the feeling of the people as
TO the right way to finance bonus
payments.
Being in doubt as to the popu-
lar acceptability of the general
sales tax recommended by the
President, the House members
listened to the alarmists, prin-
cipally Mr.. Frear, of Wisconsin,
who predicted that a political rev.
olution would hit any party that
levied such a tax. His arguments
were based upon imaginary re-
sentiment in Canada against the
operation of the manufacturers
sales tax there, the model for the
proposed bonus tax here.
1t was in vain that proof was
brought that the 3 per cent manu-
facturers' sales tax in Canada was
the one levy not complained of
there; that it was collected from
the manufacturers; that it was alb
sorbed by the manufacturer or
middleman half the time; that the
exemption Of fuel and foodstuffs
from the taxation took away any
possible burden on the little man.
In vain it was pointed out that
our bonus payments could be car
ried by a ~ per cent manufac-
turers' sales tax, half the size of
the Canadian levy.
Congress would not listen. 1t
has been waiting for an express
sion Of opinion from American
voters themselves.
Well, it has such an express
lion now. The Bonus Petition, with
The signatures of a million voters
attached, asks not only for a
soldiers bonus, but for a general
tales tax to pay it. 1t is a solemn
referendum on a huge scale, a
practical demonstration of popu-
ar feeling that supplants all theo-
tetical talk on the subject.

hands strengthened to demand of

SOME PRAYER.

A celerated revivalist came to ad-
dress his flock, and before he began
to speak the pastor said Brother
Jones, before you begins this dis
course, there are some powerful bad
negroes in this here congregation and
1 want to pray for you," which he did
in this fashion:
20 Lord, give Brother Jones the eye
of the eagle, that he may see sin from
afar, Glue his ear to the gospel tele-
phone, and connect him with the cen
trail skies. Illuminate his brow with
brightness that will make the fire Of
hell look like a tallow candle. Nail
his hands to the gospel plow and bow
his head in some lonesome valley
where prayer is much wanted to be
said. and anoint him all over with the
kerosene oil Of Thy salvation and set
him afire. .'-Congressional Record.

over the state intensive efforts are
being made to secure contracts to the
South Carolina Cotton Growers Coop
erative Association. Over 1000 far
mers who have already joined the as
sociation, have pledged to take the
field this week and endeavor to have
their brother farmers who have not
yet joined to enlist under the coop
erative banner. It is hoped to sign
over 100, 900 bales this week.
Letters from prominent bankers all
over the state strongly endorsing the
association and calling on all bankers
and business men to assist in putting
the campaign across were received by
the ASSOCIATION last week.
II am most heartily in favor of the
cooperative marketing of cotton for
the reason that it helps all those liv-
ing in the cotton belt" wrote c. G..
Rowland, president of the National
Bank of South Carolina at Sumter.
II sincerely hope the campaign to or
ganize the state may be a decided sue
cess. If the cotton producer has to
buy from those who are organized and
sell to those who are organized and
he. himself does not organize, who is
the loser? What affects the farmer
affects all of u.s."
From J. S. Stark, president of the
Planters Bank of Abbeville came the
following:
"The organization of the cotton
growers cooperative association is the
greatest movement for the benefit of
the farmer ever undertaken in this
state. 1t will lido more to prevent him
from holding cotton for a lower price
than anv plan that has ever been pre-
sented. Where it has been tried it IS
a success and I earnestly hope that
the organization will soon be complet-
ed in this state. The proof of the
pudding is in the eating. BY all means
let us have the proof"
P. E. Clinkscales, president of the
Bank of Anderson wrote: II have gone
fully Into the plan Of the cotton CO.
operative marketing association and
most heartily approve Of it. 1t ap-
pears to be a step in the right direc-
ton and in my opinion it will prove
beneficial both to the grower and
buyer of this cotton. The assemb-
ling and classifying according to grade
alone is certainly the most economic
plan for marketing. It's distribution
and sale as needed by experts is wise.

This new enterprise of Charlotte is
now In its second year Of operation,
I and promises to be one Of the lead
ing industries of the developing wave
that the states Of North and South
s Carolina are now experiencing. The
president Of this new concern for sew
eral years has been endeavoring to
& think out a plan that will give the cot
5 ton-growing farmer crop that will
J: get the cash that farmers in the past
have looked to cotton for.
In time past. there has been nothing
but the cotton crop that could be
counted money crop. In the year
1921 Mr.. Thomas interested enough
of. the farmers of Mecklenburg county
TO build a little plant. In the sum-
mer OF 1921 they run about two or two
and half months canning quite lot
Of fruits and perishable vegetables,
and for which they found ready
market at good price, thus selling all
the product that they packed. To the
present time there has been no kick
whatever on the quality Of the canned
product or the quantity, and has
+o ho one of the leading lines
carried on the shelves of the best re-
tail stores in the city, and the sur
rounding towns, finding ready sale.
This new concern could have sold ten
times as much Of the product as it
did. The whole of the output was
sold in the two Carolinas, delivered by
truck, eliminating all railroad freight
rates, selling at cheaper price than
can products packed in foreign states.
The soil in the surrounding ter
rtory grows as good products, if not
better, than those that are raised else
where. and this new concern has had

Seeing the great opportunity that
the new enterprise offered and seeing
that there is a great future for it,
and that it will some day be a land
mark, to the betterment of this state
and the south at large, bringing to you
the means by which to create new
