DIR. CLARENCE POE SPEAKS
TO TWO HUNDRED FARMERS

DR.. Clarence Poe, editor of the
Progressive Farmer addressed an au-
dience of about 200 representative
cotton growers at the Courthouse last
Saturday afternoon. He spoke on the
marketing of cotton and in behalf
the Cooperative Marketing Associa-
ton.
He began his address by clear ex-
planation of the difference between
dumping" and merchandising cot
ton. Dumping cotton he described as
the present-day method of every far
mer acting by himself and for him
self, hauling his cotton, the product
Of his years labor, to the market,
= knowing nothing of it's quality and
grade aud meekly taking whatever
is offered him.
BY merchandising" cotton, he
meant the orderly marketing of the
crop through the farmers own repre-
sentatives, who graded and classi-
fled the whole crop and then was in
position to tell the manufacturer
what he will have to pay for the same.
His comparison between the far
mer's methods of selling his products
and the organized laborer's method
was striking. The unorganized farm
er, he said, is now receiving Is per
cent. more for his product than before
war. The union laborer is getting
SO per cent. more for his labor than
he did before the war. The labor union
is nothing but cooperative organiz-
alton for the selling Of labor.
Is the farmers dumping method
paying? he asked. In 1881 one out of
every four farmers was tenant. To-
day two out of every five are ten
ants. Showing not progress but con-
stant loss.
"Who makes himself worm," said
he, "must not complain if he is trod-
den on.'
In conclusion he told of the pros
perity that has come in every instance
where farmers have formed proper
cooperative associations for the SELL
ing Of their product.
49,. The campaign is still on for the
signing of contracts. Committees have
been appointed who are at work, with
the hope of making South Caroline
the strongest cooperative cotton
state in the union.

Laney At Newberry

"The State" has this to say of Sena-
tor Laney's speech at Newberry Mon
day:
Setate Senator George X. Laney of
Chesterfield made clear analysis of
the program for tax reform in the
state as begun by the last general as
sembly when the levy for state pur-
poses was reduced from .12 mills to 7
mills by the state income tax, the in
heritance tax, the gasoline tax and
he increased corporation license
taxes. He pointed out that the pro-
gram was to be expanded by the pas
sage of a water power tax measure
and luxury tax measure until the
whole levy on real estate and personal
property could be left to the county
purposes, while the state levy could
be raised from these indirect sources.
He was listened to most attentively
and argued urgently for this program
to lift the burden of taxes from the
bended back of farmers who are not
touched by the income, Inheritance or

BANK OF CHESTERFIELD TAKES
EXTRA BURGLAR PRECAUTIONS

The Bank of Chesterfield yester-
day installed new burglar proof lock
on their safe and vault, thus giving
additional protection to their deposi-
tors.
When one of the locks was in place
The Advertiser man was called in to
see it. It's simplicity and >unf6estion-
able effectiveness were most impress
sive. This is device that comes into
play only when the main lock is tam
pered with. It's location in the safe or
vault door cannot be discovered by
the safe blower. A placard hanging
over the door thus protected stating
that the door is fitted with an cana
kin" lock is thought to be sufficient to
send the would-be burglar on to easier
pastures.

The Bank of Mt. Croghan was brok-

O'Clock and $4,000 in small change
taken together with about $500 in

opening the safe. He had taken the
precaution to cut the telephone wires
