Sooner or later, it was said today in an

TO the Editor of The Times:
1t was my pleasure to learn from
my home town, Summerton, S. c., that

merton, having lived there until a
few years ago, I feel that can heart
lily indorse Mr.. Cantey as a man fear
less in his work and always standing
by the truth, though the truth may
sometimes hurt. Having thorough

capable man, worthy Of the position

IF elected, Mr.. Cantey is a man of
that type who would make good his
promise.

COTTON MARKETING
CAMPAIGN NOW ON

Although the meetings scheduled
for Manning and Summerton last
Friday were rained out-only few
getting to Manning and the Summer
ton meeting being called off altogeth-
er due to the downpour Of rain, the
cotton marketing campaign is getting
under way satisfactorily.
Good meetings were held at Pax
vile and Home Branch yesterday.
Practically UNANIMOUS sign up was
obtained at Home Branch, and Messrs
o. E. Hodge and N. q. Andrews
agreed to be responsible for their dis
trict. We have but little doubt that
these men will be able to get contracts
from the great majority of farmers
in the Home Branch School District.
Pack agreed to go to work. Others
will also help them in their section.
We are expecting real results from
these men.
At Sardinia at meeting last week
unanimous sign up was obtained.
And workers there will take care of
those who did not attend the meeting.
The Sardinia people are thoroughly
inocculated with the spirit of CO.
operation. They do not expect to
grow much cotton, but want to sell
what they produce to the best pos
sible advantage. Also they wish to
do what they can to help the Cotton
Marketing Association across for the
good of cotton growers everywhere.
We need more Of this spirit every
where.
Meetings will be held at Summer.
ton and Big Branch Friday of this
week. We are not able to announce
at this time who will address these
meetings, but will try to have good
speakers on hand.
The Summerton meeting will be
held at the High School Auditorium
at 3 o'clock, Friday, March the 18th,
and the Big Branch meeting will be
at 8 o'clock the same night.
All those in reach are invited to
attend these meetings.

that over half are poorly nourishcd,

We have not yet made any exam
ination of the books of the County
officers, public buildings or chain
gang. Committees have been appoint
ed for this purpose and we hope to
be able to make full report on these
matters at the summer term Of the
Court.
We have made some inquiry as to
the payment Of taxes in the County
and the Treasurer informs us, that
out of 1882, ,102.26 due the County in
taxes for 1920, $58,640.25 or 81 per
cent. of the total is still unpaid. While
the Treasurer was unable to give us
exact figures for 1921, he states that
fully GO per cent. or about $4,000
is still unpaid. We regard this as a
deplorablc condition. The Grand. Jury
can of course, do nothing to help the
situation but we take this means of
bringing it to the attention of the
Court and the public as matter of
information.
We have appointed the following

Mental Specialists Will Discuss Cases
 of Former Soldiers
By Associated Press

Washington, February 6.-Director Forbes of the veterans' bureau has issued call to leading neuro- psychlatric specialists of the country to confer with him here February 10 on ways and means of improving the bureaus methods of dealing with mental and nervous cases among the disabled former service men.
 Questions of physiotheraphy and occupational theraphy for this type of cases will be discussed. Colon el Forbes announced, as will the ques- ton of whether vocational training Is feasible for persons so afflicted. Hos pitalization of mental and nervous former service men, the necessity for additional hospitalizating and the training of the personnel of the bu- reau who deal with those patients also are scheduled to be laid before the conference as subjects demand ing immediate attention.
 The bureaus records show there are approximately 5000 former serv- ice men hospitalized for mental dis eases. MT. Forbes said, however, that there are thousands of these cases beneficiaries of the bureau who have not been hospitalized.
