THE LITTLE LABEL.

On the upper right-hand corner Of
this paper is small piece of colored
paper. Look at it while we talk about
it. The namel on the little label is a
good name. And "a good nome is
rather to be chosen than --srea. .
riches.' The Advertiser is glad TO
have that name on it's list of readers.
But there is something else on the
label, little matter of business be-
tween the publisher and the subscrib-
er. 1t is an automatic dunning letter.
When the date on the label is over a
year old the silent reminder is thrown
into gear and becomes a gentle hint
that there is a little due on the paper.
(lt may not be quite so dry reading,
with a little "dew" on, so we'll ex-
cuse that.) Then, if the date on the
label is two years old, its tone is au-
tomatically little louder, more in
.sistent, till the date becomes a regular
.dun-regular each week. Strange that
anyone can endure that weekly dun
for years and years! Yet some 10!
None of us like to be dunned. The
Advertiser publisher dislikcs to dun
subscribers, because he also is the
editor, and his subscribers also are his
readers, whom he delights to please.
But the publisher needs the money he
has earned; there are times when he
needs it very badly. Then he looks at
the dates on some labels with sorrow
In his heart, unpaid bills in his pock-
ct and fierce determination in bis eye.
In deep desperation he resorts to this
reference to the automatic dunner,
the colored label.

WALL STREET TRYING TO
KILL COMPENSATION BUJ

Wall Street is determined to kill
the adjusted compensation bill at anv
cost, according to a report sent by
New York state executives Of the
American Legion to national head
quarters at Indianapolis, Ind. The re-
port states that mandatory orders
were issued by at least one large stock
exchange house, ordering employees,
both men and women, to write their
congressman urging against the pas
sage of the measure. Suggested forms
were handed out, and employees were
instructed to deliver their letters IN
unsealed envelopes to their EMPLOYERS
for inspection.
Lined up with Wall Street against
the bonus is the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce, which, however, is meet
ing continud opposition from it's con-
stituent chambers in widely separate
parts of the country. Chambers IN
Omaha, Nebr., in Battle Creek, Mich.
and in several cities in Oklahoma and
ONO have now fatty declared in fay-
or of the bonus in the questionable
sent out by the national body. In To-
ledo, following a hearing by tn, Ane-
rlcan Legion, business men of tho To-
cal commerce board refused to vote
on the matter, charging that the issu,
had not been impartially presented by
the U. S. Chamber. They said that it
had ignored three of the five ,ptions

that the ground hog went back in his
hole for thirty days of bad weather,
which prophecy is being fulfilled.

Mr.. Gardner was a half brother to
Mr.. j. H. Gardner of the Friendship

FARMERS ARE JOINING
MARKETING ASSOCIATION

Columbia, Feb. 2O.-A veritablc
TIDAL wave of enthusiasm for the CO.
operative marketing of cotton il
sweeping ever the state, and officials
! of the South Carolina Growers CO.
operative Association say that con.
tracts are coming in by every mail.
The visit of DR.. Clarence Poe to
the state last week when he deliver
ed speeches in Newberry, Aiken,
Johnston and Bamberg has been fol-
lowed by great activities in those
counties. DIR. Poe strongly presented
the plans of the association at those
points, told of the successful CON-
pletion of the campaign in North
Carolina where over 100000 bales
had been signed and Of the splendid
business men chosen to head the
North Carolina association. He pre-
dicted success for the South Carolina
campaign.
eff the farmers Of South Carolina
do not enthusiastically support the
movement on foot to organize and to
put in successful operation the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Coopera-
tive Association they need never
start another farmers movement be-
cause it will be failure" says J. H.
B. Jenkins, Jr., vice-presidenu of the
Peoples Bank and Trust Company
of York, in a letter to w. B.
Wnkerson, county director for Wes-
tern York.
Mr. Jenkins declares that the as
ociation "will do more to bring about
and regulate orderly marketing Of
cotton at fair profit than anything
else that can be done" and says:
''We haze quite number of farm
ers among our stockholders. We num-
Der hund4 eds Of farmers as patrons,
and we are and will be just as will
ing, if not more SO, to assist fina Gial-
~ farmers who are members # the
Association as those who arc no. The
fact that the Government thrC ugh the
great War Finance Corporation s'd
the large financial institutions and the
money ccnters have endorsed Co-cp-
erative Marketing Associations and
have expressed willingness of ex-
tend, and are already extending, A.
nancial assistance in large amounts,
is in itself evidence of the soundness
of the proposition. 1t is great pity
that the farmers of South Carolina
have not long before now organized
such an Association. They would now
be enjoying the great benefits that
are being enjoyed through Associa-
tions already organized in Texas, Ok
lahoma and Mississippi.
''The farmer who does not join in
this movement is not only standing in
his own light but is retarding the fu-
ture development of the south"

A PRIZE ESSAY

| The Kentucky Tobacco. Campaign
| Committee offers a series of prizes tc
the various High Schools throughou,
the Burley District for the best es
says on Tobacco Cooperative Market
ng. The essay which landed the $2C
in gold follows. The arguments ad
vanced apply as well to cotton grow
ers:
The first reason my father should
join the Association is that it is 9
farm organization, organized by the
farmers, operated by the farmers and
used for the farmers benefit.
THE second reason is that labor Is
organized, business is organized and
everyone else but the farmers are or.
ganizd. Why should the farmers MOI
organize?
: The third reason is that matters
could not be any worse. The farmer
is selling his tobacco at starvation
prices and buying other things at war
time prices. This can not last forever,
for the banker can not lend money
without the prospect of payment. 1t
has come to the point where the farm
ers will either have to stick together
or starve separately.
1.-The fourth reason is that The far
mer blamed everyone last year be-
cause he didn't get fair price for
his tobacco. All the good it did was
to relieve him of his sentiments.
with rs per cent. of the tobacco
growers organized, the buyers will
never dare antagonize the organiza
ton, and the farmers opinion will
amount to something besides hot air.
For years the farmer has been
compelled to take what was offered
MN. This plan places him in a posi-
tion to force the buyers to pay what
he wants. Father, think what this
means to you and your family. 1t
means fair recompense for your la
Dor, better clothes and more freedom
for your wife and an education for
your children.
"The grape growers of California
and the wheat growers of the Wes-
tern States have put through OF gani-
cations of this kind and made a sue
cess of it. Why shouldn't the tobacco
growers of the Southern States make
a success of it also?
1t is democratic body, in which
everyone has the same power-ten-
ant and landlord alike. So my father
should join other fathers in making
this success. Remember: "The Lord
helps them that help themselves"

Co.
Miss S. II. Burch and Mrs. E. d.
Timmons have been quite sick for
some time, but are some better at this
writing.
There was Valentine party at the
school house Friday evening. / think
swapping hearts and flattery had the
lead in the games. Speaking of fiat
terry recalls to me a lady noted for
her happy wit. She said to fatter a
girl the direct method should be
rarely used. 1t is too knock-down in
effect, like sledge-hammer, you
know. The indirect method will sue
ceed much better. For example, a
young man should never tell a girl
that she has pretty legs. The girl
would be offended, but would think
him the incest in the world if he
should say to her: "Your new hat is
simply lovely, but no one will ever no.
'ice IL unleSs you lengthen your
skirts"

MORE LIQUOR POURED OUT

W. c. Tiller, rural policeman,
found thirty-eight gallons of corn
whiskey in the home of Charley Cuff
fey, colored, near McBee recently.
This liquor was in fruit jars and some
of the cases carried the address of a
merchant in Stillman, Ga, to whom
they had been shipped.
Cuffey was arrested on the charge
OF storing liquor. He stoutely re-
fuses to divulge the names of the
owners of the big drink.
-Four hundred gallons of beer was
poured out last Wednesday. This
was on the property of Jim DENLY,
two miles from Jefferson. M. Den
by was placed under bond to appear
at court. This beer had been watched
long time in the endeavor to catch
the blockaders at work. Only Den
by came to the scene while the officers
were watching.
Fifty gallons of beer was found in
the corn crib of H. B. Blackburn.
