LAKE CITY BANKER PROMOTED.
T. J. Cottingham Joins Palmetto Ma

The Lake City News Says:


"The rumor which had been preva-
lent for several days that 7. j. Cot

day in q statement issued by the

development in the town and COM

lie spirited part in the affairs Of the

{. bullet whizz past their hats as
they were standing in line with the
other officers in the efforts to quell
the mutiny.
The rebellion grew solely out of
the dissatisfaction with the announc-
ed determination of Capt. Roberts, of
the penitentiary guards, to remove
civilian clothing and other articles
that he thought were of IN OBJECTION
able nature from some of the pris-
oner's cells. He talked with Fortner,
who was said to be the ringleader of
the mutiny, and the smouldering
"strike" was quelled for a while dur
ing the morning.
The trouble again broke out at
about lis o'clock, after the prison
ers had apparently been appeased.
The prisoners on the first and third
floor Of the factory were not involv-
ed in the trouble.
The penitentialy authorities called
upon the city fire department for a
company of men and a supply of
hose. Chief May and a corps of fire
men responded.
The prisoners who went out on the
strike seem to have planned the move
ment with some detail. One of the
plans was the firing of stock in the
basement of the chair factory. The
fire hose in the building had been cut
into many sections. -
The fire was discovered b6ofe the
flames had made any considerable
Roadway. Had the fla6es gained a
foothold there is no Question but that
randemonium would have reigned in
the walls of the state prison on a
still broader scale.

WAREHOUSES; FOR
TOBACCO GROWERS
MR.. WATKINS ANNOUNCES
PLACES SECURED BY COOP
ERATIVE ASSOCIATION.

The list Of all warehouses secur~
ed to date by the Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association in South
Carolina Was given out this week by
T. c. Watkins, Jr., director of ware
houses for the association.
Mr.. Watkins has been in conference
at Raleigh during the past week with
the warehovsemen of North Carolina
who have rendered their properties
to the association. True to their
word the officials of the association
have taken over both warehouses and
warehousemen wherever possible and
according to Mr.. Watkins the asso-
citation is in excellent position to care
for its tobacco growing members
throughout the Carolinas and Virin-'
Ia.
The strength of the cooperative as
sociation with ever 40 warehouses
evenly distributed throughout South
Carolina is revealed by today's an
nouncement.
The refusal Of few warehouse
men to discuss terms with the asso-
citation hitherto, has given it's officials
no anxiety according to- Director
Watkins, who le: it be known that
sufficient warehouses to take care Of
majority of this years crop, have
been secured. Negotiations with still
other warehouses may be closed in
e few days, according to Mr.. Watkins.
Over 10 warehouses in North Caro-
Ina and AZ warehouses in Virginia
have signed up with the Cooperative
Marketing Association.
The campaign. of the marketing as
sociation for new members is develop
ing great strength according to latest
reports from Raleigh headquarters
where more than a thousand contracts
have beei. received during the past
two weeks. A new factor of strength
in the campaign Of the growers is the
leadership Of experienced warehouse
men in gaining signers to the con-
tract.
With the signing up of one thousand
acres of tobacco in a single day in
Person county, North Carolina last
week and the recent successful meet
ings in three states there is every
indication that the organized grow
ers will attain p seventy-five per cent.
