ENJOYS MR.. TUSTEN'S LETTER
Judge Benet Says it is As Good As
Any Chapter in the Famous
"Travels of Marco Polo"
Editor Press and Banner:

Editor Press and Banner:
You certainly gave the readers of
The Press and Banner a great treat
when you published Mr.. Tusten's let
ter. I am sure that I express the SEN
timent Of all who read that letter
when I say that we owe a debt of
gratitude to you and to Mrs. Eugene
B. Gary, the sister to whom the let
ter was written. / have read many
books Of travels,-it is a kind of
reading I am fond of, and I assure
YOU that it would be difficult to find
in any of them a more interesting
and entertaining chapter than Walter
Tusten's letter. 1t is as good as any
chapter in the famous "Travels Of
Marco Polo" Indeed, since it cover
much of the same ground, it reminds
me very much Of that ancient trav-
eller's work. The pleasure in reading
it is increased by the free and easy
and simple narrative style Of the
writer.
1t should be a pleasant reflection
for the good people Of Abbeville that
Walter Tusten, while still a mere
youth, went to New York, not to
try his luck as if life were a lottery,
but to make his fortune by intelli-
gent industry, thrift and skilful
handicraft,S and that he has been so
successful that, while still in the
prime of life, he is able to wind up
his business in New York, shut up
shop, and take a long years holi-
day by travelling around the world,
accompanied by his wife and daugh-
ter. His career reflects honour on his
native town.

TEXAS FARMER SPEAKS
In Behalf of Cooperation Market
ing Of Cotton

ing Of Cotton
Columbia, April Al. D. Coghlan
a farmer of Ennis, Texas arrived in
Columbia Saturday night and Mon
day began a speaking tour in behalf
Of the cooperative marketing Of cot
ton. He has come to South Carolina,
at the request of the South Carolina
the Texas Cotton Cooperative asso-
citation, to tell of the operations Of
the Texas Cotton Cooperative asso-
ciaion, of which he is a member.
81 am just 4 dirt farmer" said
MI. Coghlan last night, land make
n o pretease at oratory. I am delight
however, at the opportunity to come
to South Carolina and tell The farm
ers Of, this state just what coopera-
tive marketing Of cotton has already
meant for Texas and what / believe
it will mean for the whole cotton belt
when an organization has been per
fected in each state as will be the
case before the 1922 crop is gather
ed.
81 grew. 100 bales of cotton last
year and it was all turned over to
the Texas association. Under the CO.
operative plan, it has been sold at
an average of three cents a pound
more than cotton of the same grade
and staple has brought from the
buyers on the streets Of my home
town. I am glad to be able to say to
the farmers Of South Carolina that
cooperative marketing of cotton is
proving a great success in Texas and
I know it will prove a great success
in this state.H =
Speaking of how the new method
Of financing helped him, MI. Cogh-
Ian said:
II drew 60 per cent Of the value.
of my cotton or about $50 per bale.
when I turned my cotton ovey to the
association. With this $50 per- bale,
I liquidated at my bank; that slack;
ened the moose, around my neck and
I sure felt good. In a short time i
went back to the bank and asked if
my remaining 40 per cent equity
was sufficient collateral and the
banks answer was an emphtic sure!
Therefore, I can draw full value of
my cotton, and 1T the same time my
cotton is sold on the high peaks and
not as distressed cotton.
con the street in Texas the grade
has always been too low, and staple
is a work hardly known. This year I
was astonished when / got returns
from the association and found that
half of my cotton ~was'11-16 inch
staple. I have sold cotton for 40
years in Texas, but this is the first
time I ever knew / had so valuable a
staple. The least average premium
for my staple is 23-4 cents.
"More than s2,OOO,OOo we're ad-
vanced the Texas cotton yrowers
through the Texas association during
the past season. The loans were all
made under the cooperative cotton
marketing plan which is to he fol-
lowed in South Carolina"

ceive refund of 80 per cent, accord
ing to acomp1ete report of the solicit
ing committee which will be formally
presented at the next meeting of the

purpose aggregating $500 OF this
amount, reduction in the fee for

first estimates which was subscrib-
ed, leaves 5000 to be returned to the
donors.
The committee report in full is as
follows
AT your last meeting which was
called for the purpose of considering
ways and means of providing better
hotel Accommodations in Caldwell il
was announced that Mr.. Chas. Sebree
owner of the Hotel Saratoga building
had agreed to make improvements tc
that property costing $30,0O000; pro.
vided, the funds necessary to meet the
cost could be borrowed on a hrst
mortgage secured by the hotel prop
NSty bearing an interest rate to hin
of not exceeding seven per cent pei
annum. 1t was suggested that the
community could we'll afford to pa,
the costs, if any, above this seven pei
cent rate, rather than continue with
out modern. first class hotel.
Those who had been active in thu
work for an up-to-date hotel for Cald
well explained that it was impossible
to float such loan at net rate o
seven per cent and informed the meet
ing that the best offer contemplating
such a loan had come from Messrs

High and Friedman of Boise. who
proposed to float the loan on a seven
per cent basis, if they were paid for
their services a commission or dis
count of 100000.
Although at first thought the cost
seemed high, this proposition, offer
ing as it did an immediate and practi-
cal solution of our hotel problem, met
with the general Improvement of those
present, and as a result resolution
was unanimously carried providing
for the appointment of the undersign-
ed committee to raise the said
100000 commission by public sub
scription
your committee Immediately set to
work and met with most hearty and
ready response. The total amount
raised is $33O0O4. Messrs. High and
Friedman were waited upon and they
consented to reduction of $4,000 In
their charge, thus agreeing to float
the loan for $4,000 instead of $1,000
90 as first proposed Because of this
reduction and the large amount raised.
$4,000 will be rebated pro rata to the
subscribers.
Those donors to whom direct and
immediate benefit would come because
|of the hotel improvement generously
waived their rights to rebate, making
it possible, therefore, to make re-
turn of thirty-three per cent to all
other subscribers. Attached hereto is
a list of the subscribers together with
their subscriptions and rebates.
"Mr. Sebree has already entered in
to an agreement with High and
Friedman for the loan The c. E
Silbaugh Company has contracted for
the construction work and is on the
premises, The improved Hotel Sara
toga has been leased by Messrs
Weeks and Robb, the present leases
of the building, thus everything per.
tanning to the project has been put
in motion and assures completion be-
| fore fall. The Improvement plans
can be seen at the hotel
