According to her husband, Mrs. Es
key had been in ill health for seven
years, since the birth of their young
est child. She had been despondent
over the condition of her health and
over financial affairs and that is SUP
posed to have been the motive for her

her death from drowning at her own
hands"
Neighbors said that the pond, on the
western hillside of which the Eskew
home is situated, had possessed .
strange fascination for Mrs. Eskew
All of her threats of self-destruction
had been by drowning in the pond

ponds banks the wild violets and
honeysuckles which she placed in
vases Tuesday morning before plung-
ing to her death. Apparently CON
templating suicide she gave minute
instructions to her oldest child, An
ME, of how to finish a bit of crochet
which she had begun.

table cloth on the dining table. ar
ranged the dishes and conveniently
placed fresh covers for a small table
IN her bedroom. Leaving a lamp burn
ing on the dining table and her shoes
on the door step. she made her way

found on the platform, placed there
so that they might trace her, her hus-
band believes.
According to Mrs. R. w. Gaddy, a
neighbor, Mrs. Eskew had frequently
complained of despondency and "be,
ing blue" Mrs. Gaddy says that Mrs.
Eskew told her that since her mar.
riage to her first cousin she had been
estranged from her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. d. Eskew, of Piedmont, having
run away to marry after having her
clothes packed to go to Greenvllc
Woman's college.

DIR. Lodge, in his usual inimitable
manner presents this great sane meth,
cd of selling cotton to audience of
Union county farmers
In the beginning DR.. Lodge express
ed his interest in the farmer and his
problems, and further stated that any
man with sound sense must have the
welfare of the cotton farmer at heart
This great cooperative marketing
movement effects not only the farmer
but every form of life in the cotton
producing section. There must be
something to this movement when
leaders in every walk of life has en-
dorsed it.
Cooperation.
Cooperation, the integration of one
mans activities with every other
mans. The cotton farmers in the past
have made the mistake Of selling as
individuals thus developing the worst
kind of competition. They have made
the mistake of selling without any
system. In this world no man can
stand alone. The town is dependent
to a great extent upon the agricul-
tural trade territory around it. When
the farmer prospers all legitimate
business prospers.
We are members one of another.
The interest of one is the interest of
all. 1t is a mistaken idea that bus
mess is war; that trade is war; that
commerce is war. Business is not war,
If rightly understood business is CO.
operation for service. When men pro-
pose that We get together to sell CO.
operatively, it means that we pro-
pose to do something for the benefit
not only for the farming class but for
the whole community. This organi-
Zation will hurt no business except
the useless middlemen.
Every man should practice indie
pendent thinking, but we should study
the thoughts and actions Of our lead
els. What do our biggest and best
farmers think of cooperative market
ing of cotton? They are heartily in
favor with the movement, have signed
the contract and are enthusiastically
urging their brother farmers to sign.
When our leading men are so unani-
nous in their endorsement of prop
osition it is well for US to give it a
SIuuy.
What is the S. C. Cotton Growers CO.
operative Association?
This association is a proposed or
ganization of South Carolina cotton
.-graWers on a state wide basis for the
one specific purpose OF. selling the cot
ton of its farmer members to the best
advantage. This association becomes
a working organization if 100000
bales Of cotton, based on the 1920 pro-
duction are signed by the farmer
members on or by May 1, 1922.
This enlightened proposition is pro-
posed by men who think, it is demo-
cratic, it is q proposition which comes
up from the people, the machinery Of
the organization is democratic, every
man has the chance to join or refuse
Who Manages the Active Affairs of
the Organization?
The management of the association
will be in the hands Of eleven direc-
tors. The state will be divided into
ten districts, the members of each dis
trict will elect one director and the
eleventh director will be appointed BY
the governor of the State. An election
of directors will be held in January Of
each year. Every member has one
vote and only one.
What 1t Proposes to Do.
The association proposes to store
cotton out of the weather, and to put

found his wife struggling in the arms
of Beck and then struck Beck with a
loaded revolver.
A survey of the Day home today
was believed to have located the bullet
fired when Beck was struck by the
revolver. Officials said it appeared
the bullet was imbedded in the cell

County Attorney Hughes said he
was endeavoring to check up the pos
sibility that fourth person might
have been in the Day home when Beck
was slain. He said that unless new
evidence was brought out, his only
recourse would be to file either mur-
der or manslaughter charge against
Day.
