and accepted the resignation Of
Charles H. Morefield, State highway
engineer, and elected R. G. Brown,
field engineer, as acting State high
way engineer. Mr.. Moreficld's resig-
nation takes effect March /.
This is the elimination of fight
which has been raging on the high
way commission in both houses, and,
according to tose on the inside, it will
save the commission. Claude N. Sapp
of Richland, is preparing bill for the
the law in regard to the commission,

ed by the county delegation on the

ent members. Likewise, it is under
stood the bill abolishes the office of

sion.
A delegation from Charleston Coun-
ty appeared before the commission
and asked $250,000 Of aid for the COM
pletion of the Ashley river bridge,
and $4,000 for the Charleston-S Savan-
nah highway.
The commission decided to provide

ner and Bonneau, which was APP

$4,000 in federal aid to assist in

tween Reevcsville and Dorane, was

who appeared for his county, Collie
ton, that the county authorities be
authorized to use for highway pur-
poses the unexpcnded balance Of the
license fund of 1921 and. that of 1922
not needed for maintenance, was
granted.
The request of Beaufort County
that it be given $31 900 in federal
aid for the road between Beaufort
and Pocotaligo was approved, and
the funds will be advanced to the
county when available.
A large amount Of routine work
was accomplished by the commits
sion.
AS the result of the State high

ignation, Charles 0. Hcaron, a mem
Der of the commission and editor of

COOPERATIVE MARK ETING
OF COTTON CAMPAIGN ON

TO the Cotton Growers of Clarendon
County:
We have just succeeded in signing
up more than half of the Tobacco
Grown in Clarendon County with the
Cooperative Marketing System. By
the first of May we want 100 per cent
of the cotton grown i'm this County
signed up with the South Carolina
Cotton Growers Association.
There are many advantages to be
obtained by selling comparatively a
few Of which are:
l. In securing the proper grades.
We are robbed of thousands of dol
lars in grades. Through no fault of
our local cotton buyers, however.
They are helpless in this matter for
the reason that they are required to
guarantee their weights and grades
which are fixed by some speculator or
exporters, whose practices in this
business is familiar to our local men,
For example, local buyer purchases
a lot of cotton applying the Govern
ment Standard Grade, all of which
he is required to guarantee to perfect
sale. When the lot is regarded the
local buyer is presented with claim
for default in grade which claim he is
compelled to pay or get out of the
cotton business. The local buyer has
but one alternative which is to apply
grades by which he can sell. Who
pays the cost? The methods employ
ed in grading is equally true of
