Department of Agriculture Is
sues Warning Regarding
Grain for Planting.

Commissioner B. Harris of the
Department of Agriculture, Com
merce and Industries wishes to warn
all merchants, farmers and others
that every precaution should be TAX
en- in purchasing oats, wheat, rye and
other grains for fall planting. When
any grain is bought for seed purpos-
e., the buyer should see that all tags
attached to the seed as we'll as the
invoice should state plainly that it is
for seed purposes. An Inspector will
be sent to any one upon request to
draw an official sample to test for
termination, and this should be done
when the seed is received and before
being planted.
In the past it has been found that
quite a number of merchants and
others who bought oats, wheat, rye
and other grains for seed purposes,
planted it and later found the ger
mination was poor. Quite a lot of
the grain was bought for seed pur-
poses, but the shipper failed to brand
it as such and when it was found
that the termination was not the
best, the matter was taken up with
the shipper and their reply was that
it was not branded or sold for seed
purposes. There is a State law re-
curing aIlgrain sold for seed purpos
es to be tagged as such and the ger
mination must be good.

In address delivered December q,
1919, at Rock Hill, an account OF
was published in The Char,
lotte Observer, Cole L. Blease was
as follows:
Mr.. Blease bitterly arraigned
the administration forces in
Washington for plunging the
country into war, and declared
that his Filbert and ..Pomaria
speeches of three year sage had
turned into prophecies. He still
contended that we had no right
to enter the war and thought
events had proved this. The peo-
pie were fast repudiating those
who made war possible, and
when they get another shot,
they are gonig to put in a Re-
publican president and change
the entire regime at Washing
ton. :. He gave the appearance
of being pleased with the
thought that the country was
going Republican. -. He add
ed, however, that he could not
vote the Democratic ticket.
Do the people of South Carolina
believe the Democratic administra.
ton was wrong in plunging this
country into war?
Do they believe the Palmetto boys
who fell in Flanders left NO torch fol
them to "carry hight"
Do they wish to repudiate "those'
who made war possible, which
plural in form is singular in
thought, meaning Woodrow Wilson?
Were they pleased that the coun-
try went Republican and that Hard,
ing was elected?
In 1920 they were not. They cast
63,49O votesfor the men who promis.
ed to carry out Wilson's program and
1886 for the man who promised tc
wreck it.-Greenville News.

and citizens Of Washington, but also
by the President himself. In addition
to travelling over a. thousand miles,,
Mr.. McCartha wrote several hundred
letters to the carriers of the state
who are not members of the associa-
ton.
S~ecretary's Report.
Mr.. Grim, secretary Of the %associa-
ton next made his report, which was
indeed gratifying to the delegates.
Every county in the state with the
exception of II are now organized,
and the membership has grown to
SIG, being ITO more than were en-
rolled at the last state convention.
The secretary has mailed out over
5000 letters and travelled practically
all over the state, in addition to at
tending the national convention.
The report Of the delegates to the
national convention followed the Sec
retary's report and each delegate as
sured the convention that they had
been received with open arms both
by the people of Washington and the
Postmaster Generals office. The del
egates were under the impression
that the association was making it
self felt, as when Burleson was Post
master General he failed to extend
the smallest courtesy to the associa-
tion.
Automobile Trip Around GaHney.
At six o'clock all delegates took
an automobile trip around Gaffney,
seeing the many different sights. The
committee in charge treated the Wis
itors to a very refreshing and inter-
esting trip.
After %electing officers and selec-
ton of next place of meeting, the
convention will adjourn until next
year. From the interest being shown,
the coming year will find practically
every rural carrier ana substitute

membership in each county. The re-
port was received by the convention.
The officers report was next in or
der, and Vice-President McCartha

dents report showed that during the
year he has been president he has
visited many counties in the interest

Vice-President McCartha next
made his report and it showed that
he has been very actively engaged in
organizing counties throughout the

speeches in behalf Of the association.
He went to the national convention

New York, Nov. 22.-The market
for cotton cloths was quiet again
today and little trading was in evil
dence in print cloths although it
was indicated that considerable
business would have been placed
had sellers been willing to shade
present quotations. Sheetings were
slightly more activA than print
cloths and sateens. drills and twills
were strong and in some demand.
Cotton duck manufacturers are ex-
cellently supplied with orders and
some tire fabric contracts have
been placed for delivery well into
next year.
The raw silk market was some

revival OF activity in the wool mar
ket today although some trading
was done in small lots at very
firm prices. The greater part of
the Texas fall woods have not been
sold. Much of this wool was
bought for Boston account. There
is no pressure on the market al
though the mills have covered their
immediate requirements pretty
well.
