CHESTERFIELD COUNTY BANKS ENDORSE
COOPERATIVE MARKETING PLAN

We, the undersigned Banks of Ches-
terrified county, are favorably impressed
with the purpose and plan of the Cotton
Farmers Cooperative Marketing Asso-
ciaaion, and believe that it is the best
plan that has been suggested for hand
ding and marketing the cotton crop.
The plan seems to US to be practical and
fair and we see no reason why it cannot
be worked successfully and made ofg great
benefit to the grower and every other
business interest in the South.
We unreservedly recommend this
movement to all of our people who are
interested in the sale of cotton, believing
that there are great possibilities in the
organization.

Runaway Marriage.

Miss Sybil Collie and Mr.. B. F.
Dali, of La Grange, n. c., were mar-
ried in Bennettsville on last Tuesday
Feb. 22nd after several unsuccessful
attempts.
1t seems that the father of the
young lady objected and when the
couple attempted to get a license at
Washington, n. c., they found that
the father had phoned and had sue
ceeded in stopping the issueing OF
the license. They then came to Che
raw to the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Hartsfield, uncle and aunt OF
the bride. After meeting with obsta-
cles at Chesterfield they drove to
Bennettsville where they were mar
ried by the Probate Judge.
The happy couple spent the past
week in Cheraw.

DELINT COTTON
SEED BEFORE PLANTING
Quick Uniform termination ImpOr
tant in Presence of Boil
WeeVil.

Clemson College, Feb. "a. AS the
cotton planting season approaches,
and in view Of the heavy boil weevil
infestaton and the importance OF
taking every possible step to give
cotton a good early start in the race
against the weevil, it is suggested
again, as i was last planting season.
that farmers delint cotton seed before
planting, as one means of getting an
early crop of cotton.
Delinting is especially valuable
when conditions are unfavorable for
seed termination. 1t hastens germi-
nation from two to eight days depend
ing on soil and climatic conditions,
make termination more uniform, and
tends to prevent disease. Delinted
seed can be more evenly planted, and
it requires fewer seed to plant an
acre. Below are directions for de-
limiting seed with sulphuric acid.
Materials Needed.-Concentrated
sulphuric acid about pounds for
each bushel of seed. Three wooden
or earthen tubs, one Of which should
have a number of small holes in the
center of the bottom with copper
wire screen over them to prevent the
seed from passing through. A large
glass or earthen funnel with screen
may be used instead. Plenty OF
water.
Directions for treating seed.-Place
seed in tub "A" which has no holes
in bottom and cover with acid five
to ten minutes. Stir seed CONSTANT
with wooden stick until lint is re-
moved. Next pour seed and acid in
tub 3D." which has holes in bottom
and which has been placed over tul
&c" which has no holes in bottom. As
soon as the acid is drained off, wash
seed with water until free from acid
If a good stream Of running waiter is
applied this does not take long Spread
seed on floor or on sheets in the sur
to dry. When dry they are ready tc
plant.
Caution.--If left unnecessarily long
in the acid the seed will be killeG
Wooden tubs must be tight. Tub
which require to be frightened by
swelling with water will not do, as
the acid takes all the water out
the wood Acid must be handled with
care, for it will eat holes in
clothing which it touches.

CHERAW GIRLS WIN AN0TH.
Err BASKETBALL GAME
Defeat Society Hill in Close Game.

In one Of the fastest and hardest
fought games Of the season the local
high school girls defeated the team
from Society Hill by the score of Is
to ID. Society Hill was the first to
score but Cheraw soon took the lead
and kept it throughout the game. The
first half ended with the score 13 to 7
in favor Of Cheraw. During the sec
ond half Society Hill came back
strong and again made Z points but
only allowed their opponents to make
2. Eight personal fouls was called on
each team, six in the first half and
two in the second. Cheraw made
three good out Of the eight free trials
for goal while Society Hill was sue
cessful in caging only two.
The game with Society Hill will
probably close very successful sea-
son for the high school girls, having
won four games out of the five PLAYED
and scoring so points to their oppo-
nents 35
The boys, too. had a most success
full season of basketball scoring a
total of 135 points to their opponents
S. Baseball has now attracted their
attention and the manager, John F.
Matheson, has almost completed the
schedule Of gaames. Prospects are
encouraging for a winning team and
quite a numbtr of ambitious young
sters are working hard for a position
on the squad.
The proceeds of the show to be
given at the Town Hall on Friday
night (March 3rd) by the Darlington
high school will go to the promotion
of athletics and be divided between
the two schools. An eight piece Or
chestra will furnish music for the
occasion and a full house is expected.

he writes that Jackosn did not know
where he was born. He also cGn
tends that Parton discredits the Les
lie and Latham witnesses. Mrs. Lat
ham, Parton reports to have said
that JacksOn's msother after attend
ing the burial of her husband did re.
turn 10 her home and while moving
to the James Crawford place stopped
at the Mciierey house and gave birth
to Andrew. New John Latham, Mrs.
Lathams son contradicts this state
ment by saying that Mrs. Jackson
did not return to her home but went
straign: On frcm the church to til
McKemey house.
The great defect in Parton's ac-
count is the tissue of contradiction
woven into it Mr.. Stevenson holds.
Parton's main witnesses, Mrs. Leslie
and Mrs. Latham had been dead so
many years that their versions Of
what had taken place had passed in
to tradition colored by the magma
tion of hearsay.
MIR. Stevenson contends that Jack
son was certainly told by his mother
and his brothers where he was born.
He lived in the neighborhood till
was Is and he was mentally too ir
quistive not to have asked the ques-
tion of his mother and he was no
a man to accept a myth. If he had
been born in North Carolina why did
not North Carolina claim him Will
he lived? Both Wheeler and Foote,
the standard historians Of that per-
iod for North Carolina leave no
doubt that he was born in South Caro-
lima. In mentioning the great me-
of the old North State they on
Jackson's name.

ASSOCIATION ADVISES RE.
DUCTION COTTON ACREAGE

Columbia, Feb. 26.-Convinced they
say, that any increase in cotton acre
age this year would be absolutely
ruinous to the state, officials of the
South Carolina Division of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association today issued
statement setting forth the facts
in the situation, as they see them.
and urging every interest in South
Carolina to unite in an effort to hold
the acreage down at least to that of
1921. A further reduction would be
strongly advisable the association
says, four major reasons are given b.
the association why the acreage should
not be increased and it says there ar
numerous minor reasons, the four
principal ones are:
First. An increase in cotton acr'
age would cheaper all collateral held
by Southern banks.
Second. Under boil weevil
ditians an increase in acreage means
an increase in possible disaster by
the boil weevil.
Third. An increase in cotton acre
age means a decrease in food and
feed crops. Let's make the Southern
farm self sustaining before We again
undertake to raise a surplus Of
ton.
Fourth. After bearing the brunt
of defation neither our bankers, mer-
chants nor farmers are in a position
to finance a large crop.
Under existing conditions we ought
not to run the risk of crop failure
and thus embarrass banks, merchants
and farmers. Plant only such crop a.
can be financed with comparativ'
ease"
The association in its statement
takes the view that while "a large
acreage this year would not by
means insure a large crop, it would
certainly very greatly depress the
price for the next eight or nine
months anyway. If we overprodrc'
prices will be ruinous, il we owe"
plant and the boil weevil repeats her
1921 performance, ruin is certain
either way you look at 1t our only
salvation is in very small avreage
The association says that it feels
is to be its duty to sound this note
of warning to the farmers Of Z
state and it reminds them that lit is
better to be safe than sorry"
DR.. ]. B. Johnson of Rock Hill
president, Louis I. Guion Of Lugoff
vice president and manager of the
association, said yesterday that they
had received letters from bankers,
merchants and farmers in every sec
ton of the state uging that eve
=. step be taken to prevent an increas.
ed acreage with the disaster tn;
it would almost certainly bring.

THEY ARE WEARING
IN NEW YORK

Most of the smart hats worn IL
New York now are in black or tai
felt, soft little shapes, or of red OF
dame colored crepe, with fruit Of
flower trimming.
Gay colors are seen in the suits
that appear on the Avenue, fame
colored Kasha being worn on re
cent cold day, and an almond greer
worn by young girl. Her top coa'
of squirred fur was made on long
lines, and a green felt hat and gray
footwear completed the costume.
"Patch-Work" hats in combinations
of pastel or high shades, worn with
the typical "flapper" tilt, are the
latest with that increasingly large
group.
The camel shade continues a much
worn color in hosiery.
A suit worn recently at the Bilt-
more Benefit Day by one Of the
debutante class, which was there ir
large numbers, was in brown CLOTH
with a series Of narrow founces, fin
nishing the bottom of the jacket and
continuing from the hips for a short
distance down the skirt. 1t was
really a three-piece costume, the
blouse being of contrasting crepe.
Wide brimmed black and brown
Milans are making their appearance
trimmed with sweeping fancy quill
effects and indicating the probable
acceptance of the very large hat for
the coming season.
Heavily embroidered net whict
gives an effect of lace is much seen
in dresses of the dinner type
theatre and restaurant for the ma
ture wOman's frock.
Gray seems to be as much favored
as ever for the crepe frocks and is
seen constantly in semi-dress types
although the beige shades are being
more exploited for spring wear.
: A spring costume seen recently
was study in brown, the skirt Of
smart check fabric in tan and brown,
the brown jacket Of the new swagger
hip length showed white at neck and
wrist and the small tailored hat also
was of brown, a brown chou compile
menting the color Of the costume.
A large, transparent hair hat seen
recently in the evening was trimmed
with large clusters of black grapes.
The French type appears nightly
more popular in smart clubs and res.
taurants. Severely plain coiffures
usually with headdress, heavil!
rouged lips and extremely long, ful
skirts were noted in several women
dancing this week at Montmartre.
