DIRECT SALES
OF COTTON

Washington. Nov. Senator
Dial has addressed a letter to the
various cotton cooperative associa-
tions throughout the country. lets
ting them know where they may
secure some very valuable informa-
ton. He told them that some time
ago he procured sthrough the de-:
.partment OF commerce a list of an;
of the countries in the world
using cotton and the number 2f
.spindles in each. He then toos
up with the various consuIs the!
question of purchasing cotton d.
rect frpm the growers. The replies
from many of these were that they
believed this an excellent plan to
eliminate the profits of the mid
dleman.
Senator Dial suggested to the
cotton associations that since they
have organized this plan might be
followed, undoubtedly with mNst
excellent results. About two years
ago the Czecho-Slovakian govern
ment purchased large quantities 3f
cotton at about the peak price
and paid all its debts before they
matured. He has offered his cor-
dial cooperation in any way that
will help the situation in the inter-
est of the cotton grower.

ANOTHER
PEE DEE
BRIDGE
Marlboro Paper Wants One
at Society Hill

In the eastern part of South
Carolina the sentiment of linking
up the various towns and counties
continues to grow. The Pee Dee
Advocate, of Bennettsville, is urg-
ing the immediate construction Of
| a bridge across the Pee Dee river
iat Society Hill and proposes that
Marlboro county, in order to hasten
/. this enterprise; bear the lions
lsi1are Of the expense. The Pee Dee
Advocate says:
Some of our leading citizens are
again discussing the question of
building a bridge across Pee Dee
river. connecting Marlboro and
Darlington counties. Bonds for this
purpose we're authorized by the
Legislature in 1920. but Darlington
never did agree to the proposition
and it has not materialized.
"At that time an effort was made
to have the bridge built at Hunts
Bluff. At that point the swamp is
all on the Darlington side of the
river. and Darlington was not
willing to pay for building Cor half
of the building) and the subse-
auent upkeep Of the road across
the swamp. 1t was doubtful if
Marlboro county funds could be
used for the permanent up-keep of
a road in Darlington county.
BY building the bridge at So
ciety Hill the swamp will be all on
the Marlboro side, and if Marlboro
is willing to build and keep up the
road through the swamp we be-
lieve Darlington will pay half Of
the cost of the bridge.
1--WE believe it will pay Marlboro
county to do this. If the bonds al
ready authorized are not sufficient
we believe it will pay Bcnnettsville
and Red Hill townships. through
which the road would pass, to issue
bonds for the balance.
"a good road and bridge to So
ciety Hill would bring through the
center of Marlboro, most of the
travel between the north and the
south which now goes over the
Washington and Atlanta highway
via Pinehurst and Rockingham. BY
coming from Fayetteville by Nc
Coll, Bennettsville and Society Hill
the route would be greatly short
ened A bridge at Society Hill would
also furnish an outlet for all this
section to Columbia and all the
western and southern part of the
state.
Federal funds could probably
be secured to pay half the cost OF
the road and bridge. Property own
ers would, no doubt. pay consid-
cradle part of the balance.
1--WE would not be in favor of
issuing any bonds without vote
of the people in the territory af-
fected. If there is enough interest
in the matter to get up a reasona-
bic petition for an election. the
people Interested should be allowed
to pass on the proposition.

Bad Check Artist u Town.

Mr.. Joseph NJ. Chandler was vic
timized to the extent Of thirty dol
lars Friday when he accommo-
dated a respectable looking and
plausible stranger by cashing a
check for that amount. The stran-
ger represented himself to be a
brother Of DR.. G. H. Courtney and
the check was drawn on the City
National Bank in favor of j. W.
Courtney and signed by c. II.
Courtney. Sometime after cashing
the check Mr.. Chandler made an
investigation and learned that DR..
Courtney had no brother Of that
name and knew nothing of the
stranger and the check. The po-
lcie were notified, but the stran>
ger has not yet been located.

EXCHANGES
MANIPULATE
COTTON PRICES
Federal Trade Go1n
mission Completes
the Invest tigation of'
Cotton Exchanges.
Ordered by d a /
Resolution

washington, Nov 255-The fed
eral trade commission has COM:
pleted its investigation into the Eff
feet of cotton exchanges, opeFal
ing under existing LAW, on the cot
ton market. and prepared its re-
port for submission to the senafs.
The investigation was made undsr'
authority of a resolution fntredue-
ed last March by Senator -: b
Dial of South Carolina ~
From unofficial sources, re- s nn-
derstood that the report win show
that in the opinion of the cona-
mission, the present Law, which per-
E,nits and exchange to deliver TO puys
chasers any one of ten tendsrabIe
grades. gives the exchanges5an un
fair advantage over purchasers AZ
lows the exchanges to manipuafes
the market and thus deleteriousay
affects the cotton grower himself
If the report Of the opinion is ac-E
curate, Senator Dial declared to-
night that he would regard it as:
a distinct concurrence in his con-
Ftention that the law should bess0
ameded that purchasers would be.
guaranteed an even break ii aiI'
financial transactions with ex
changes.
He stated also his belief that ST
the investigating authority OF tie.
government, after an extensive
study of. niEe months, had found
existing law unfair in its operation
to cotton producers, congress would
no longer hesitate properly to
amend It in the interest Of the
I farmer.
The fight for amendment of the
scotton futures act was initiated
some years ago by b. b. Conner
then senator from AIabamas Tie
Conner amendment went, Through
the senate with scarcely dissent
| ing vote; but failed IN the house.
When Senator Conner retired SEN
Iator Dial took up the fight His
amendment. after pending before
2 the senate committee on agricui-
ture fer many months, was fipag,
,,.ly submitted with an unsavorable
report, which the committee suSS
fered Senator Ransden OF Lou
j:isiana, who had spoken in defense
OF the exchanges, to write Sena-
tor Dial was further harassed BY
the opposition of the exchanges
Senator Dial expressed the opin-
ion tonight that If the law could be
so amended as to give cotton grow
ers an equal opportunity with co..
iton exchanges in reaping proat
from the production the south
would be benefited sby many rsii-
lions of dollars per aflnaas
