BANKS TO ASSIST
COT7ONMOvEMENT
ENDORSEMENT FOR COOPERA.
TIVE BoDY-PRESIDENT OF
STATE BANKERS ASSOCIA-
TION PLEASED WITH PRO.
GRESS MADE.

Rock Hill, July 20-The banks Of
South Carolina will stand strongly
behind the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative association, in
the opinion of Charles L. Cobb of
Rock Hill, president Of the South
Carolina Bankers association, who
declared today that in his opinion
the formation of the association mark
ed the most forward step that the
farmers of the state have ever tax
en-. e.:
81 feel sure that there is not q
bank in South Carolina but that will
cooperate in every way possible with
the association" said Mr.. Cobb.
"The banks are delighted to see the
farmers putting such businesslike
methods in the marketing Of their
crops. It is step which We feel they
should have taken long ago.
"a very great majority Of the
banking institutions Of the state in
dorsed the movement during the or
ganization campaign and assisted in
putting the campaign over. They did
this only after they had made a
thorough study Of the plan and of the
operation of the associations in other
states which functioned last season.
81 feel that an exceptionally able
board of directors has been chosen in
this state, one that can cope success
fully with any problem which might
arise. The war finance corporation
has placed it's stamp of approval on
the organization by approving an ap-
plication for an advance Of $10,000,-
900. This shows the confidence that
it has in it. The banks of South Car.
olina have the same confidence in it,
I am sure, and will stand ready to
assist it in every way possible.
eve are all more or less familiar
with the results that have been ac-
complished by the cooperative in
California. I do not feel that it is too
much to expect that just as great re-
suits will be obtained by the cotton
cooperatives."

FLAMES DESTROY
FURMAN BUILDING
Loss Estimated at Over Forty Thous-
and-Trustees Make Plans to
Rebuild at Once.

Rebuild at Once.
Greenville, July 20.-The James c
Furman science hall at Furman uni
versity, constructed in 1911, at cost
c,f more than $4,000 was completely
Quilted by fire which was discovered
about 5 o'clock this morning and
which ragged for several hours before
it could be gotten under control.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the board of trustees today
it was decided to replace the build
ing in exactly it's former state, the
work to begin at once, with the ex-
pectation of having it in readiness
about the time of the opening Of the
fall term at the university in Sep
tember. On account of increased
cost of building now as compared
with the time when the building was
erected it is estimated that it will
require about $4,000 to 100000 to
rebuild it. Insurance to the amount
of $4,000 was carried on the struc-
ture, and it is understood it is re-
garded by insurance men as virtually
a complete loss.

MRS. MARY HoLCoMB TAGGART
Passed Away Thursday Morning at
Her Home at Eureka Hotel.

Her Home at GuEcha AAStS'
Mrs. Mary Holcomb Taggart, wild
ew of the late James Taggart, of
Abbeville, died in her apartment at
the Eureka Hotel Thursday morning,
July goth, at $50 after protracted
illness, death bringing relief to her
from intense suffering. The funeral
services will be held this (Friday)
afternoon at the Presbyterian Church
of which Mrs. Taggart had been a
member from her, early womanhood,
and interment will follow immediate
ly at Long Cane Cemetery.
Mrs. Taggart was 6s years of age
at the time of her death. She was i
daughter of William Holcomb and
his wife. She came to Abbeville
County during the War Between the
States with her parents, and has
since made her home here. She is
survived by her daughter, Mrs. H. A.
Benton and by one son, Harry M.
Taggart. William T. Hughes, the only
son of her predeceased daughter,
Mamie Taggart Hughes, also survives
the deceased. She leaves too sister,
Mrs. NJ. E. Hollingsworth, and two
brothers, F. J. Holcomb Of Palatka,
Fla, and J. H. Holcomb Of Dublin,
Ga.
Mrs. Taggart Leionged to that
small class of men and women who
make the city in which they live
worth while. She was a woman of
more than ordinary business judg-
ment, and this combined with indus
try, perseverance and good manage
ment helped to make her successful
in enterprises where others failed.
For a good many years she conduct
ed a store for ladies in Abbeville,
later giving up this business to op-
crate a private hotel in the city. A
few years ago she bought the Eureka
Hotel. In this last business venture
she saw further than others had
seen, and made a success out of it.
In her lifetime she accumulated con-
siderable property, leaving her chill
dren in comfortable circumstances.
But this was only a small part of
what she did. She was woman given
to charity and kind deeds. In her
home the fatherless and the mother
less found not only shelter but food
and raiment. To her the friendless
often looked and they were not turn
ed away. Her hand was given to the
dispensation of kindness and her
heart was open to every call of the
needy and distressed. If she spoke
and acted with the impulsiveness of
Simon Peter she too was the called
when there was real work to
be done and real courage to be
shown. By the deeds of such as she
cities are builded, and the world is
made happier.
The stores and business houses in
the city will be closed at the hour of
the funeral services out of honor and
respect for the deceased.
Attending the funeral from out of
the city were Mr.. ]. H. Holcomb, a
brother of Mrs. Taggart, Mrs. A. H.
Graham, a niece and Miss Mary
Keith, a grand-niece, the two larer
from Birmingham, Ala, and Mr. and
Mrs. w. F. Benton, of Monroe, N. c.

JEWELL PREDICTS
STRIKE WILL END
SAYS RAILROADS WILL SURREN-
DER "AS SOON AS WE BRING
THEM TO THEIR KNEES.
THE STRIKE BECOMING MORE
EFFECTIVE DAILY.

Richmond, Va, July 20.-A strike
of 5000 clerks on the Chesapeake
and Ohio was apparently only partly
effective, although union leaders said
the men walked out at 10 a. m.
"practically 100 per cent"
Annulment of trains continued,
with the effectiveness of the strike
growing daily, and cancelled trains
neared the 800 mark.
President Jewell, of the striking
shopmen, gave the roads two weeks
until they would "be on their knees"
and ready for a settlement.
The real obstacle to peace, the
strike leader said, was the roads OBJ
lection to establishing a national
board of rules adjustment.
Minor disturbances were reported
from widely scattered points, en-
ployes being fogged and shot in doz
en- instances by strike sympathizers.
Chicago, July 20.-B. M. Jewell,
president of the six federated shop
crafts, predicted today that the rail-
roads will capitulate and settle the
strike within two weeks.
The strike is becoming more effec-
tive daily, he said, "and the roads
will yield as soon as we bring them
to their knees.
The railroad executives statements
on the seniority question were char
acterized by Mr.. Jewell as camou-
fage designed to cover up the real is
sue-a national adjustment board.
The executive board of the strik-
ing unions will meet this afternoon to
consider an answer to the statement,
issued by the railroad officials last
night.
"The railroads know they cannot
Justify their fight against the nation
al adjustment board before the pub
lic," Mr.. Jewell said. "The board
would take working rules disputes off
the hands of the railroad labor board
except in cases of appeals and leave
the board free to devote practically
all its tine to wage questions"
