ASSOCIATIONS CONTRACTS
MUST NOT BE VIOLATED

Columbia, Oct. 30.-Every menu
Der of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative Association who
sells cotton outside of the association
viii be proceeded against in the courts
OF the State and forced to pay liqui-
dated damages of cents a pound
Tor every pound sold outside of the
association. The officials of the
association feel that there is no al
formative for them in this matter and
they are determined, to invoke every
provision of the law passed by the
General Assembly protecting the as
sociation from violations of the con-
tract against every member who does
violate it.
Several members of the association
have been reported for violating the
contract, probably six in all. Rigid
investigations are being conducted
In each case and if the association
1inds that the contract has been vio-
lated, proceeding will follow.
Members of the association are
almost unanimous in demanding that
all violators of the contract be pro-
ceeded against. They declare that to
permit anyone guilty of preaching
the contract to escape would create
a spirit of dissatisfaction among the
members.
I'VE propose to proceed without
fear of favor against every man who
does not live fully up to the contract.
Says statement by the association.
"Thus far there have been only
about six alleged violations of the |
contract. We are investigating eacA
one of these carefully and will pro-
ceed in each case as the results Of |
our investigation justifies. The
members of the association may rest |
assured that no guilty will escape"

FORD DISCUSSES
PRICE REDUCTION

According to statement inst is-
sued by Edsel B. Ford president of
the Ford Motor Company, Detroit, a
general reduction has been made in
the prices of Ford Model II cars and
the Ford 1-ton Truck, effective Oc.
tober II.
Inc revision in prices" said Mr..
FORD, lis the result of the increased
volume of business which our COM
pany has enjoyed during the pres
ent year, and also to the fact that
we now own sources of raw material.
which enables us to continue in
creasing the quality of our product
and at the same time keep the price
so low that Ford cars are in reach
of everybody.
Our production for 1922 Is al
ready in excess of a million, which
mas been an important factor in
bringing down costs. Our present
daily output is averaging better
than 5000 cars and trucks, which
means complete Ford car or truck
every " seconds of each eight
hour working day. 1t is in anticipa-
ton of this continued demand that
price adjustments are again being
made in order to keep in effect the
policy of selling Ford products at
the lowest possible price.

loyal members in every tobacco grow
ing county of the three States.
The rapid growth of strong local
associations in Virginia and North
Carolina was reported by M. O. Will
son, Secretary and Field Service
Director of the Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association, and the de-
cision of the board this week to aid
the formation of locals in South Caro-
lima as we'll as in Virginia and North
Carolina will undoubtedly bring the
number of well organized units of
the Association to over a thousand

FARMERS HOLDING
NEW COTTON CROP

With cotton stored in warehouses of
the state warehouse system for the
month of October valued at over
100000, farmers of the state are
holding their new crop and the ware
house department is now everv dav
receiving a great deal of cotton for
storage according to the announce
ment of j. Clifton Rivers, state ware
house commissioner. "While there
has been some selling of old cotton"
Mr.. Rivers said, "the receipts are well
above the cancellations"
Several warehouses;" Mr.. Rivers
said, have been entered in the system
during the last few days, worthy of
especial mention being the addition of
the warehouse of the Excelsior Seed
farm of Cheraw, and the Purcell ware
house of Newberry. The state system
is now receiving for storage grain,
peas, velvet beans and other nom
perlshable farm products which when
properly prepared can be stored in
the system of state warehouses; and
recelped for as effectually as cotton.
I'm the near future the commission
er expects to put on special inspect

oeVelope plans to carry out the law as
recently enacted, enlarging the scope

as TO include any farm product which

hectlon with agencies now instituted

EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS
OF CHILDREN

Under the common law it was the
duty of the father to educate his
children, but there was no compul.
sion on him to provide any form of
schooling. Otherwise expressed, the
child had no school rights which the
! parent was bound under the law to
respect. But with the passing time,
and particularly with the founding and
growth of our American Republic,
new conception arose. The non
compulsory school system gave place
to compulsory system, and now
required school attendance is uniyers.
al among English-speaking peoples.
The compulsory system was long
time spreading over the United States,
but in 1918, when Mississippi passed
its first law on the subject, the system
became universal in this country.
Every state now requires that chill
dren attend school for some period
of their lives and for all or a con-
siderable part of the school term; and
the tendancy is to extend attendance
requirements until all children be-
tween z and 16 years of age are in
school throughout the term, or until
the work of the elementary grades
is completed.
Compulsory education has two
fundamental purposes: First, TO in
sure the best possible citizenship i'm
order that the state may thereby pre-
serve itself; and, second, to enforce
the educational rights of the child.
That the first of these is fundamental
in democracy is obvious. The second
is fundamental because the right
kind of opportunity is essential. The
latter purpose is porbably even more
important than the former. Chill
dren have right to the best possi-
BILE opportunity in life, and since this
comes in large measure through
education they have an indefeasible
right to education.
This principle is not so much recog-
nized in child-welfare laws as it should
be. The compulsory attendance law
Of California has its caption. can
act to enforce the educational rights
of children and providing penalties
for the violation of the act"; in their
conception of school attendance and
child labor some other states might
learn lesson from the Golden State.
Child-labor laws were originally
conceived for the protection of child
life, but now we see that they also
have a function in the enforcement
of child rights. They formerly
"winked at" some occupations, such
as work on the farm, probably be-
cause these were thought harmless,
but now these occupations are COM
ing under regulation, as are those in
stores and factories. The reason
for this newer conception is plain
Child labor on the farm is child la
Dor nevertheless; it interferes with
the education rights of the child. Pres
emily we shall see clearly that it is
no mans prerogative to exploit a
child, even though it be his own, and
that the right to education is inalien-
able-along with the right to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

Satsuma Tanen, from a famous art

few green or yellow monochromes-
one-color pieces.
Cloisonne ware means vases,
plaques or bowls. covered with vitri-
fed pastes applied in what are called
cloIsons. On a base usually of very
thin copper the pattern is laid with
enamel paste, which is then fused into
place. Japan developed this process
early in the nineteenth century. and
has steadily improved it, until now
this ware is justly famous.
Banko is a light gray, unglazed
