Centenary movement and perfecting
plans for its final and complete suc-
cess.
The presiding elders were charged
with the task of interpreting the mes
sage OF thee difference to the local
church, and they enthusiastically

great principals of the Centenary and
stir the enthusiasm of the 1000 past
ors to canvass the membership of the
$4,000 congregations of Southern
Methodism for the collection of un-
paid Centenary pledges now due.
1t was shown that sixty percent of

must proceed with renewed vigor if
the enlarged missionary program,
made possible by the subscription of
more than $35,ooo,Ooo, is to attain
completion.

Southern Methodist territory the mind
of the church will be Refreshed and
instructed concerning the Missionary
Centenary, and the prompt payment
OF pledges will be urged.

time for an intensive campaign in
the interest Of Centenary collections
when every member of the Methodist
Episcopal Cchurch, South, in arrear-
ages to this cause shall be solicited
by local committees for some payment
on this pledge. This period of speci-
al endeavor, it is said, will be con-
Quoted along lines of the original
Centenary campaign, utilizing the
four-ininute speakers and other agen
cics which contributed to the success
of that movement.

The money put up by several Of
our citizens to buy rat tails, porved a
real success as George Harrison has
bought $50 rat tails and practically
used up the money provided to fight
the rats. Four hundred and fifty rats
would do "a big lot of damage in our
town in one year, to saw nothing OF
their increase during that time. Ii
means a saving of not less than $500
to our people for everyone will agree
that any rat will eat and destry more
than dollars worth in a year. The

cease; keep it going for a year and
the rats will be perceptibly scarce
and our people will be in good many
dollars that rats will destroy unless
the fight is kept going. Killing rats
is not so small or fruitless a job as
some people may think.

There is a disposition in this day
and generation to spend money and
energy in memory of dead heroes
and causes, and pass over the sad
eyed individual hungry and cold,
half-clad and starving. Hero wor-
ship is all right, but living, suffering
humanity should not be pushed aside
in the scramble.
A Paris man who has his face
turned toward the future, after
listening to an argument on "Evo-

other night, remarked that it did not
concern him very much as to where
his ancestors came from, but what
bothered him most was where he
was going to land when he tucked

Commerce Commission, who were
appointed by the President. The

fight wagcd by several Southern
Senators against the filling of the
vacancies by men from sections of
the country other than the South.
Mr.. Atchison is listed from Ore
gon and Mr.. Hall from Colorado.
Those Senators who opposed the
confirmation and who had forced
delays in Senate action several
times were said to have made it
plain that their opposition was not
personal but that they had deter
mined to press for Southern repre-
sentation on the commission and
believed that the best way to call
attention to their claims was by
opposing the confirmation of the
two nominations.

CLEMSON COLLEGE HOLDS
IT'S FIRST HOG SALE

Clemson College-Thc animal hus-
bandry division Of Clemson College
will hold it's first bred sow sale at
Clemson College on Wednesday, Feb.
8, according to announcer made to
day by Prof. l.. V. Starl, of the di-
vision. Fifty purebred hogs will be
offered in this sale. OF inis number
about thirty will be Duroc Jerseys
and the other twenty will be Poland
Chinas.
An invitation is extended to all
who are interested to attend this sale
says Prof. Starkcy, whether they in
tend to buy or not. Because Of pre-
lent financial conditions it is most
likely that this Offering of first class
purcbred hogs will go at low figure
and for this reason it will be a good
opportunity for farmers to get some
animals cheap.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
COTTON IS ENDORSED

Columbia, Jan. 17.-Co-operative
marketing of cotton was strongly in
dorsed in resolution passed by the
House Of Representatives and every
farmer in the State was urged to
sign the contract The Extension
Forces Of Clemson College were ur-
cs,sd to continue to lend their full CO.
operation and assistance in the move
meht as were the bankers, merchants
and business men Of the State.
The text of the resolution, which
was introduced by Representatives
Jackson Of Sumter, Windham of Dar-
lington, Harris Of Spartanburg and
Mckay of Dillon, follows:
WHEREAS, campaign is now be-
ing conducted in the State of South
Carolina for the formation of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers Co.
operative Association to be composed
of Suth Carlna cottn growers, land
lords and tenants and to be formed
for the one specific purpose of selling
their cotton crop comparatively; and
WHEREAS, the formation of such
a cooperative marketing association
will tend to eliminate many of the
evils which now surround the mark ct
ing of our principal crop, such as
country damage, undergrading and
dumping of a great portion Of the
crop on the market in a few weeks
time and will result in the stabilizine
of the market and insure the farmer
of the fact that his cotton will be pro-
perly warehouscd, graded, staplcd and
sold at the best possible figure;
THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED
by the House of Representatives the
Senate cOncurring, that we do hereby
indorse most heartily the movement
for the organization of the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Co-opera
tive Associations;
That we urge every farmer to sigr
the contract at the earliest possible
moment:
That we urge the bankers, mcr.
chants and business men Of the State
to assist in the campaign for the
necessary number of signatures tt
make the contract operative; and
That we urge the Extension Forces
of Clemson College to continue to lcnc
their full cooperation and assistance
in this movement, believing that they
can be of no greater service to the
State at this time than in the vigor
GUS prosecution Of the campaign.

TWELVE DIE IN SEA DISASTER

London, Jan. 1G.-Eleven men,
bers of the crew Of the German
steamer Vesta, bound from Ham
burg to Lisbon, as well as the wife
of the chief officer, were killed by
an explosion on the ship Sunday
night following fire. Ten sur
vivors of the crew were landed at
Lowestoft by trawler, late this af-
ternoon.
Details of the disaster as related
by the captain Of the Vesta are to
the effect that during heavy
weather Sunday night the deck car
go Of the vessel, consisting large
ly Of naptha, shifted. An explo-
sion occurred and a few minutes
later the whole vessel was in flames
with the exception Of the space
near the bridge, where the crew
hurried for safety. A boat was
lowered, but it was engulfed in the
heavy seas and it's three occupants
were drowned. The mate, clasping
his newly married wife in his
arms, jumped overheard Both per-
ished. Others Of the ships COM

ties in this state already, have over
1900 signers. Consequently, it is ex-
pected that some Of the Court Houses
in these counties will be filled to ca
pacity on that day. A few small
warehouses are running in the Bur
ley District of Kentucky to accom-
modate those outside of the pool. IN
commenting on the situation, the
Lexington correspondent of "Tobacco"
a New York tobacco journal, has the
following to say on Jan. 8:
"Prices generally were regarded as
good y y ~ The hurley pool, in
which nine tenths of the Kentucky
crop is signed up, generally is credit
ed for the increase in prices, and it
is the belief that the pooled crop will
bring still higher prices, as the to-
bacco pooled is said to be of much
better quality than that outside the
pool" In commenting further on the
situation, he says: GAS there is little
tobacco outside the pool, it is expect
ed that all the unpooled tobacco will
be sold within the next two weeks"
The Kentucky Association will be-
gin to offer theirs over their 1870
! warehouse floors during this month.
The large tobacco companies have
promised the Association square
deal, and thus dawns new era in the
marketing of tobacco by tRe co-opera-
tive plan.
Anyone desiring contracts for him
self or his neighbor can obtain same
by dropping postal to the Tobacco
Campaign Committee, Florence, S. C.
