How Cotton is Handled.

Ten thousand South Carolina fra
meSs are now bringing In cotton to
the Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association. One hundred and fifty
thousand farmers in the South are
marketing cotton on the same CO.
operative system this year.
Unffiendly interests, chief among
whom are the gamblers and specu-
lators who fattened OH the farmers
lack Of marketing knowledge, will go
ito any length this season TO mako
s'wealt-knecd' members break their
contracts. Loyal members must al
ways be on guard against such at
tempts and trace all disloyal talk
to its proper source. All new cotton
belonging to members must be de-
.livered to tho association, for the
contracts must be rigidly enforced
if the association is to live up to it's
high ideals. Any misinformed or dis
loyal member had better think sew
eral times before he violates his legal
and binding contract which Ties him
SEith his fellow-farmers. Three far
mers who recently broke their con-
tracts with the Tobacco Growers
Association are soon to be hailed into
court and their prosecution led by
none other than Aaron Snpiro, noted
cooperative marketing attorney, of
California. This means that they will
get the limit allowed by the law
Omitted we stick; divided we're
stuck"
Cotton is being received in Oconoe
as follows:
In Westminster, by l. S. Pitts.
h In Seneca at Nimmons' warehouse.
In Walhalla, at Pitchford's ware
house.
The cotton is weighed at thsee
points. The grower is given two
weight certificates showing tho
,ADarks used on the bales, etc.
If no money is to be drawn on tho
association the grower acts as fol-
lows (where stored in warehouse):
Keeps one weight sheet; attaches one
weight sheet to warehouse receipt
and mails in to tho association at
columbia. Grower must state to the
tsssociat lion that you DO NOT desire
to c. " on the association for money
within thirty days or more, and the
association will send tho grower
demand note bearing six Per cent in
tcrest. This note the association
ssives will counterbalance the inter-
est that Is charged members. so that
the grower who doesonot borrow will
have no interest to pay.
In tho other case, where grower
does want money advanced, he keeps
ono weight certificate, attaches one
weight certificate to warehouse re-
ceipt, or bill Of lading as the caso
may be, and attaches these to the
associations draft, taking them to
his bank for payment.
1t Is very important that tho
grower MAIL to headquarters, with
I0ut delay, the original bill Of lading
and weight sheet, in the case where
he ships and whore no money Is
drawn. on the association. In this
case, where there Is only a receiving
station; 1t Is very important that this
. be done, as the cotton cannot be un-
Sloaded from the car without the bill
Of lading, and there will be demur-
rage to pay.

Mrs. JOHN M. MOODY DEAD.
Was q Native Of Oconee, Having
Dcen Horn In Cheohco Section.

| . .
-
Mrs. Mamie %. Moody, wife Of
John M. Moody, died at her home in
Walhalla on Wednesday last, Sept.
goth, at s o'clock p. M, after an ILL
ness of more than two years. All
that loved ones and friends could do
for the sufferer was done, but moth.
ing could keep her here, and life
silently faded away like a star on q
summer morning.
Mrs. Moody was a native Of Oco-
nee, having been born in the Cheo-
hee section on April 9Th, 1867. She
was, therefore, few months past IS
years Of age.
Just as the sun was sinking behind
the western hills the gentle spirit Of
Mrs. Moody winged it's flight back to
God who gave it. ''He giveth His be-
loved Sleep" On the 21st the body
was taken to the Rocky Knoll church
and the writer conducted the funeral
at 4.30 p. m., after which the re-
| mains were Inferred in the cemetery
Of that church
Mrs. Moody before marriage was
Miss Morton, being a daughter of
the late Rev. and Mrs. John B. Nor
ton, Of this county. She united with
the Baptist church at the tender age
Of 1 5 years, while her brow was still
damp with the dew Of youth. Before
the evil days came she gave her life
TO Christ. AS the years passed she
did what she could to serve Him and
to help her friends and loved ones.
The deceased was happily married
to John NJ. Moody, Sr., on Jan. 49,
1889. To this union nine children
were born, eight of whom are living,
one having died in infancy. The liv-
Ing children are as follows: ]. Ar
thus Moody, Mrs w. S. Dlanchett, OF
Walhalla; Mrs G. r. Long, Spartan
burg; Miss Katie Moody, Miss Sallie
Moody, Miss Maud Moody, Miss Res
sic Moody and John Moody, Jr., Of
Walhalla. She also leaves to mourn
her passing four brothers ond one
sisters. M. Morton, John A. Nor
ton, G. B. Morton, j. R. Morton and
Mrs. selena liiX, all of Walhalla. /,
In the passing Of Mrs. Moody the
husband has lost good, loving and
true wife, the children devoted,
kind and tender-hGarted mother, who
Nt-tn ol>o
and all times, day or night She was
a good lnothernto Ill her children. In
fact, she seemed TO have lived largely
for her busb,nd, children and her
Rocky Knoll church has lost an
other one OF its Cody and true men,
bers, but we feel that our loss is her
gain. She said a few days before
her death that she was "ready to
meet God" Remember what Saint
Paul said, I am now ready to be
offered. Thank God for those who
are ready 10 meet the Judge Of hea-
ven. and earth.
Two hanus upon the breast,
And labors done;
Two pale feet crossed in rest
The race Is won.
Rest for the toiling hands,
Rest for the anxious brow,
Rest for the weary way-worn feet,
Rest from all labor now.
The mothers love-there's none so
pure,
So constant and SO kind;
No human passion doth endure
Like this within the mind.

Early Enoiish History.

The reason that the Norman con.
quest did not subjugate the English
is explained by the fact that flutes.
Angles, Saxons, Danes and Normans"
were all kindred in race and so they
united in one race; the Welsh, Irish
and Scots were Of the Celtic race. The
Normans were not Frenchmen in the
beginning but pirates from Scandi.
navia, who had come to France and
had been given tract Of land. They
adopted the French language and be-
came in time the most courteous and
noble people in Europe. but when they
won the battle Of Hastings, they were
more nearly akin to the English or
Anglo Saxons than to the French, al.
though they brought the French Ian
guage to England, and many Of their
words were Incorporated into the Ian
guage. Because Of racial differences
the Welsh, Irish and Scotch did not
unite with the English as easily. but
the centuries have. obliterated many
racial characteristics because Of many
intermarriages.-St. Louis Globe-Den.

POOR PLACE TO HIDE MONEY
French Peasant Now Convinced That
Shotgun 10 Unreliable a.
Bank Of Deposit.

The ingenuity of French peasants in
hiding money has surpassed itself in
the case Of man near Lorient who
received 1000 franc note and q
500 franc note in payment for prod
uce. He hid them in the muzzles of
his double-barreled shotgun. believing
that would be the last place thieves
would search for money.
He made mistake, however, in not
taking his wife into the secret. A
nelghbor called a few days later, in
the absence of the man Of the house,
and asked for the loan Of the gun to
get hare.
The hare escaped and when the
peasant CAME In that evening his wife
remarked that the nelghbor must be a
very bad shot.
"Why?' the peasant asked.
Because he used both charges Of
Your gun on hare without hitting It.

with gasp. at the same time making

CAUSE OF CANCER UNKNOWN
Dread Disc ase Has saftled the Best
Efforts Of the Medical Fraternity
fer Centuries.

Medical science today knows no
more about the cause of cancer than
was known 1000 years ago.
Some families seem to be immune.
III other families deaths from cancer
occur in generation after generation,
as il to show hereditary tendency.
There are many so-called "cancer
houses in which deaths from the dis
ease have occurred with such lament
able repetition as to destroy their mar
ket value for selling or renting pur-
poses. An evil repute attaches to- GER
tain well-kEown "cancer districts" in
which the death rate from this malady
Is extraordinarily high. There is one
such district in the Berkshires of Mas
sachusetts, another is i'll the middle Of
New York state.
One Of the many theories regarding
the cause Of cancer is that it is at
tributable to an undiscovered germ,
carried by the bedbug or some other
insect. If, that were correct, the dis
ease would surely be more prevalent
among the slum-dwelling poor than
among well-to-do people who enjoy the
benefit Of sanitary surroundings. But
such is not tie case; cancer is as
common among the rich as in the tene-
ment and poorer quarters Of our cities.

Express Dragon Flies.

When VIC come to birds, we find
many very high speeds. Swlfts have
been known to overtake an airplanc
in flight. Their speed has been calcu'
lated TO exceed one hundred miles an
hour sometimes. The racing pigeon
has OH several occasions done short
Journeys at sixty miles an hour. The
golden plovcr is very speedy, but his
turning, twisting flight makes it diff
cult to time him accurately over any
distance The pheasant, though he
does not look a very rapid tlier, can
do As miles an hour.
Among insects, the most rapid is
probably the dragon-fy, who does as
much as 30 miles an hour in his swift
dashes from place to place. The bee
Is capable of travelling at speed of
20 miles an hour, and he achieves II
by beating his wings more than GOO
times second-sixty beats for every
yard he travels.

Few Slang Phrases last.

The leniency with which some school
teachers look On the use Of slang, as
reported in various interviews. may
shock those Of an age to have secured
their idea of correct English from the
McGuffey series Of readers. 1t is true
that the selections composing those
readers were of an era wherein the
language was at varipnCe with what is
heard today. 1t may have been stilted,
but 1t did not corrupt the mind of the
pupil. In fact, many persons got
from the old. fifth and sixth readers
their knowledge Of good literature.
There was not a word resembling
slang In the books.
1t IS true that slang Is e1nressiye.

Shows Footprints Of Dinosaurs.

The department Of geology at Mount
Holyoke college, in replacing collec-
lions lost by fire, has obtained a slab
OF Connecticut valley sandstone on
which are found fossilized mud cracks
and ripple marks Of bygone ages. and
with them seven footprints made by
giant dinosaurs. The slab is an un-
usually good specimen, as both sides
have marks Of geological interest. It
measures II by feet.
The ripple marks were made In the
ooze millions Of years ago, when the
region of the present Connecticut val
ley was a large river bottom, occa-
sionally flooded. They are unusually
distinct.
The footprints show that at least
two dinosaurs, one big one, the 9TH
er apparently its young. roamed over
the mud flats on their hind legs. The
larger tracks are about 8 inches long
and the indicated stride 4 or 5 feet.
