LONG AND
YOUNG WIN
County Agent in Clarendon to
Be Retained

Manning, Aug. 15.-The county
Democratic executive committee
met today for the purpose Of purg-
ing and correcting the club rolls
and appointing managers for the
election.
At a former meeting Of the ex-
ecutiye committee a resolution was
passed placing in the primary the
question of the retention OF the
rural policemen, farm demonstra-
ton agent, home demonstration
agent and the county nurse.
DIR. w. w. Long. of Clemson
College; Mr.. T. B. Young, Of Flor
ence, district agent, and Mrs. S. O..
Plowden, district demonstration
agent, appeared before the COM
mittee and urged the committee to
rescind its action. especially with
reference to placing the home and
farm demonstration agents in the
primary.
They fully explained the work
of these agents and showed the
need Of them in the county and
begged the committee not to make
political issues or questions out OF
them; that the agricultural depart
rnent was strongly averse to get
ting these positions in politics.
Mr.. Charlton DuRant> also ap-
peared before the committee and
strongly advocated the retention Of
all of the Offices. After a thor
ough discussion by. the committee
it was unanimously decided to re-
scind the former action Of the
committee and these Offices will
not be voted upon in the primary.
It was generally conceded. that
great good has developed from the
agitation Of the matter as it gave
DIR. Long and his workers an op-
portunity OF presenting the facts in
connection with these positions and
the great need for them at this
particular time.

COTTON MAKING
FAIR PROGRESS
Fruiting in South Carolina
Said to Be Fairly Satisfac-
tory

: Washington, Aug. 16.-Reports
on the cotton crop as summarized
today by the weather bureau m
its weekly weather and crop re-
view showed that the weekend
ing yesterday was marked only by
fair progress for the crop.
The week was generally cool
in thezcentral and eastern portions
Of the belt, especially in the nocrh-
east. but the temperature averaged
near normal in the extreme west
ern districts" said the review.
Much cloudy weather prevailed in
the eastern cotton growing states
with excessive rainfall in some To-
calities but precipitation was most
Iy moderate in the central por-
tions Of the belt, while drought
continued in most of the western
sections.
Cotton made generally poor
progress in Oklahoma and was
shedding badly in the central and
western portions on account Of
the continued drought. progress
ranged from poor to very good in
Texas; depending on the local rain
fall, and the general condition OF
the crop ranged from poor to very
good but was mostly fair; insects
were less active and had done lit
tie damage but there was some
complaint of shedding and prema-
ture opening.
1.-The progress Of cotton was
mostly fair in Arkansas, although
less satisfactory in some localities,
while there was too much rain in
Louisiana. The crop made poor
progress in Mississippi and Ala
bama. where it was rather too cool
and there was considera BILE COM
plant of shedding. The condition
was reported as very good in Ten
nessee, although there was some
deterioration on account Of rust,
shedding and weevil.
Rainfall was mostly moderate
in Georgia, except heavy to ex-
cessive near the. coast, but the
damp, cloudy weather was unfa-
vorable and general deterioration
of cotton was reported; bolls We're
rotting and shedding, or saturated
with the damp weather and were
being rapidly punctured by weevil
with serious damage
Excessive rains occurred in
many localities of the Carolinas,
although plant growth was very
good in South Carolina and fruit
ing was reported as fairly salts
factory, but there was marked in
crease in weevil damage in the
central, eastern and southern por-
tions, where the weather was ia
vorable for their activities. There
was too much rain in eastern
North Carolina, where the crop
made poor progress, but fairly
advance was reported from the
western portions; the plants were
fruiting early in many localities Of
the east, while weevil were in
creasing in the south"
