CAMPAIGN NOW ON
Effort Being Made All Over State To
,.TI Sign Up Cotton

Columbia, Jan 19-The campaign
for signatures to the cotton coopera-
tive marketing contract is now in
full swing all over South Carolina
and splendid headway is being made
towards the goal of 100000 bales,
according to Harry G Hammer presi-
dent of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative Association.
Absolutely no opposition to the
plan has developed, according to
Mi Kaminer, who says that the
people of the. State seem agreed
that it is the solution of the market
ing problem. Everywhere the people
seem to be enthusiastic over its pos
sibilities, he says, and it now seems
merely to be a question of getting
the men in each county to make the
canvass for signatures.
The plan has been endorsed by the
agricultural committee and execu-
tive committee of the South Caro-
lima Bankers Association, the vari-
Gus district group councils, the State
Fair Society, the House of Repre-
sentatives, the South Carolina Divi-
sion of the American Cotton Asso-
citation, many chambers of COM
merce and other organizations. In
every instance the endorsement has
been by unanimous vote.
Large and small farmers are sign
ing the contract, according to Pres
ident Hammer and he declares that
the plan will be just as profitable
proportionately to the one as to the
other.

publishes an exclusive interview by
It's Dublin correspondent with
canon de Valera the Irish Repub-
llcan leader who appeared to the in
terviewer to be in good health and
who discussed the military and polit-
lcal situation in Ireland freely.
The correspondent quotes Mr.. de
Valera as saying he still was OPP
posed to the treaty with Great Bril-
tain In it's present form. but sug-
gested that some revision could be
obtained if men of good will would
set themselves to the task.
Without such a revision. he de-
clared, there would be violent polit-
lcal association and turmoil in one
form or another in Ireland for many
years. while for England, it would
be a continuance of the Impossible
relations, which have resulted in
the war OF the last few years.
He. insisted that the Ulster ques-
ton was an Irish domestic question
and hat 1t must be settled in Ire
land by the representatives of the
peoples concerned. The treaty meant
the coercion of the south and the
coercion Of a large part of the
north Of Ireland, he insisted.

TROLLEY CARS
CRASH HEAD-ON
Several Injured by Shock and
Flying Glass at CIiffWood
Accident

KEYPORT, Sept. 11.-Through a
misunderstanding of signals, a head
on collision took place between two
trolley cars of the Jersey Central
Traction Company at Dietrick's
Grove, Cliffwood, yesterday after
noo at 5:25 o'clock, resulting in the
shaking up of the passengers and
the cutting of several by flying glass.
Among those so injured were Mrs.

preventable. Both cars were badly
smashed by the force of the impact.

charge of Motorman Joseph Carman
and Conductor Walter Layton.
Eligah Patterson was motorman and
Thomas Polling, conductor, of Car
No. "a, which left Keyport at $50
o'clock. 1t is customary for these
cars to pass on a switch, but through
a misunderstanding of orders the
two cars met headon at a sharp
curve near the grove. The
made it impossible for either motor
mar to see the approaching car until
they were so close that it was impos-
sible to stop them.
The cars came together with such
force that the entire front of car
No. As was smashed and it is likely,
the motorman remained at his
post. he would have been killed. Tie
cars were of wooden construction. At
the office of the company here today
