MARKETING COTTON

In the last few weeks numbers OF
farmers, locally, who failed or neg
lected to join the Cotton Marketing
Association this spring when the
drive for members was on, have come
in and joined. The same seems to
be true over the state. Hereafter
theze farmers will sell their cotton
through the channels of the organi-
cation.
There is no doubt that the welfare
of the farmers will be promoted by
the orderly selling. of their products
through marketing associations.
These associations have proved of
great benefit in selling fruits, and
there is no reason why they should
not be of greater benefit to the cot
ton farmers in the selling of cotton.
If any set of farmers have contrib
uted more than any other set to
maintain a fertile field for exploita-
ton by others it has been the cotton
farmers. There is no reason why, one
year with another, through these as
sociations much more should not be
realized for the cotton grown in the
South than would otherwise be done,
if the cotton marketing association
does what it is designed to do.
Of course the marketing associa-
ton may not do any good. That is
going to depend on the officers of
the association. If they be good men
and trpe, If they be mindful Of the
trust imposed on. them, and if they
exercise good business judgment, the
association can but succeed. And. It
Is not believed that the farmers 81

state are going to allow designing
persons to take over the manage
n,ent of this, organization. The far
mess,. if they. are wise, r going to
pay reasonable salaries and thus Sc
cure, the services Of business mel to
run the enterprise. 80.
81 While the directors T paying
reasonable s~alares for the important
services rendered, they should pay
only whs. Is reasonable and employ
only such men as : needed. There
will be no quicker way to destroy
confidence in the whole scheme than
by giving the people ground to be-
lieve that one man u a few men are
using the machinery to make easy
Offices for themselves, or otherwise to
promote their own interests.
We repeat that the. success of the
whole scheme depends on the efici
ency and integrity of the men whc
manage the affairs of the associa
ton.

STATE TO HAVE NEW
TAX BLANK FORM

Columbia, Dec. 21.-The state
tax commission is to use q blank
form, similar to that used by Uncle
Sam, in getting income tax returns
for the tax of 1923. The blanks
have been prepared and are to be
mailed out early in the new year.
The blanks ask for the same infor-
nation as that sought by the Uni
ed States collector. For the return
on last years income no blank was
used for the returns on which the
state income tax was based. The tax
commission simply took an affida-
Wit from each tax payer as to the
amount Of tax he paid the federal
government, the state tax being
one-third of that amount, or next
year, however, the state tax COM
mission will have its own blank.
Returns on 1922 incomes will be
due March Is, on which date the
first quarterly payment will also be
due. In making returns the income
Garner makes report of his total in
come, no matter whas its sources;
and Of the possible deductions. The
same deductions are allowed by the
state income tax law as by the fed
eral statute, for interest and taxes
paid, for losses by fire or storm, for
contribution and for bad debts.
The computation Of the tax on
the blank forms, is similar to that
for the federal collector. It is COM
puted at four per cent, the federal
income tax and then one-third Of
the amount is paid to the state
treasurer, the state law specifying
simply that the state income tax
shall be one-third of the federal
income tax. ..

DR.. S. L. Morris, D. D., L. l.. "
! of Atlanta, secretary of home mis-
sions for the Presbyterian church.
recently has completed an interest
ing book entitled, "The Records OF
the Morris Family" wherein he gives
in complete genealogical form the
lineal descent of his branch OF the
family from Teon, archbishop OF
Gloucester in 542 to the present date.
Six ancient family wills are pub
tlished in the volume, showing that
record Of transmission Of property
from father to son in the modern
lines as far back as the reign OF
Queen Elizabeth.
Copies Of tn e official records OF
England showing that one Of his
ancestors lived at Stratford-on-Avon
land was a member Of the committee
of three that erected the present
tomb to. Shakespeare in the church
at Avon.
This ancestor was named Samuel
Morris, ST., and his will is published
in the volume, showing that in 1894
he transmitted his property, includ-
ing estates at Standardization, to
his grandchildren had however re-
moved to Abbeville, s. c., before he
died and have never received the leg
acy, the volume states.
DR.. Morris himself is the fifth
member of the family to bear the
