COTTON CAMPAIGN
MAKING PROGRESS

The campaign for the cooperative
marketing of cotton is making steady
progress in the county. Farmers are
daily signing the marketing contract,
and it is anticipated that Clarendon
will show a good sign up before the
campaign closes.
The recent successes Of the cotton
pool in Oklahoma and other states,
of the wool pool in Ohio and ncighbor-
ing states and of the tobacco pool in
Kentucky furnish more convincing
evidence than ever before of the
soundncss and of the practicabiity of
the plan for selling farm products.
Statistics show that in 1920 the
manufacturer paid more than $500
per bale more for the cotton than was
obtained for it by the farmer. This
was the cost Of getting the cotton
from the farmer to the spinner, and
we are reliably informed that the
cooperative marketing association Of
Oklahoma is performing this service
for its members at n cost of approx
matcly $500 per bale. This market
ing expense of $500 per bale upon
the 1920 crop Of South Carolina
amounted to nearly $29,O0O,000 or
enough to pay our state taxes for
Isn't it time that something was
done to eliminate this great waste?
Study the cotton marketing contract
and see if you aren't convinced that
this plan will give relief.

SILENT ON POLITICS

Chicago, March 2S.--Woodrow
Wilson has declined to discuss cur

an invitation to do so sent by Pal
mcr d. Edmunds, past commander of
Il local post Of the American Legion,
and chairman of the service mems or
ganization of the regular Democratic
organization. The former President
in reply to Mr.. Edmunds, however,
makes the declaration of his belief
"that we shall very soon, indeed, wipe
away the ugly record we made in fail
ing to fulfill the objects for which our
gallant men fought"
"Certainly service men, above all
others, arc qualified to express their
devotion of the principles we be-
licvc in," says the letter to Mr.. Ed
munds. at was for those very
principles that they offered their
lives. For my own part, believe
those principles to be in themselves
so powerful that no political blind
ness or iniquity can defeat their
triumph. believe that triumph to
be Immediately at hand and that we
shall very soon, indeed, wipe away
the ugly record we made in failure
to fulfill the objects which our gal
liant comrades fought"

Grocers' President Flags the Present
Administration
TALKS, TO WHOLESALERS
Federal Trade Commission and De-
partment of Justice
Attacked

Atlanta, March 28.-The Federal
Trade Commission and the Depart
ment of Justice are carrying on an
espionage system over business that
is greater than the espionage sys-
tenn over enemy aliens during the
war, j. H. McLarin, Jacksonville, pre-
sident of the Southern Wholesale Gro
GERS Association, declared here today.
"The present administration prom
ised us less government in business
and more business in government"
declared the speaker addressing the
Georgia Wholesale Grocers' conven-
ton, 8'but if there ever comes time
when there is more government i'm
posed on business than there has been
during the last week, sincerely hope
l won't be alive to see it,"
A. Long, of Macon and Atlanta,
was elected president of the Georgia
Association at the closing session to-
day.
Mr. McLarin told of three success
sive visits to the headquarters at
Jacksonvilel of the Southern Grocers'
Associated by federal agents. Three
representatives of the Federal Trade
Commission spent three weeks exam
ining the records Of officers, he said,
and later a representative of the De-
partment of Justice spent several
days there. Then two other agents of
the Federal Trade Commission made
an eleven-day investigation.
Enough of 1t"
II made no protest until then,"
said the speaker. "I threw my
books open and gave them free hand,
But l had enough of it."
He went to Washington, he said,
and had an audience with Nelson
b. Gaskill, Of the federal trade
commission. ~ asked Mr.. Gaskill
what his men had found in their in
vestigations: He refused to say.
asked him if there was anything illeg-
al in the operations Of the association.
He refused to say.
"Then l told him that the Federal
Trade Commission had sung it's swan
song as far as the Southern Whole
sale Grocers' Association was con-
cerned," declared its president, en-
phasizing his words, "and that the
next time he sent representative to
our Offices he would have to bring a
warrant"
The groccrs applaudcd the announ-
cement.
Mr.. McLarin said that the Federal
Trade Commission had been intended
by the Wilson administration to op-
crate in a way to relieve business Of
public suspicion and to relieve bust
ness men themselves Of uncertainty
vising them how far their operations
might go. He denied that it was do
ing any of the things it was intended
to do and said that instead it was
proving Il serious handicap to the
conduct of business

CIVIL SERVICE Isl
HIT BY DAUCHERTY
Believes it Hindrance to Government
Efficiency
ALWAYS READY TO QUIT
Attorney General Would Rather Take
Recommendations Of Political
Committee

Washington, March 28.-Belcf that
the civil service is a hindrance to gov
ernmcnt efficiency was expressed by
Attorney General Daugherty, testify
ing recently before the House appro-
priat;ons committee.
at is probably il gratuitous suggcs
ton, but believe the civil service is
an interference to some extent in the
discharge of public business" said the
Attorney General as quoted in the
printed record of the hearing. "While
am Attorney General and while the
civil service law is in the statutes I
VIII enforce it, observe it as l expect
TO enforce and observe all laws.
II believe if it were not FOR the
civil service we could get aionr
with less than two thirds of the nun,
Der of employees under civil service
and probably get twice as much work
out of them"
Asked to Explain
Asked by member to explain lust
how that might be done, Mr.. Daurh-
crty said:
81 suppose the Department of
Justice employees are as faithful and
as good as those who are under the
civil service in any other department
but they are not as anxious generally
to be in place to commence work on
the dot as they are to quit work on
the dot. # l would rather take
the recommendation of political
committee, either Democratic or Re-
publican, self-rcspecting committee,
for the appointment Of man or
woman, than to be compelled to go
through the requirements of the civil
service to secure an cmployc. They
are hardly as ambitious, hardly as
energetic under the civil service as
are those not under civil service.
81 discovered both before came
here as Attorney General and since,
that civil service employees spend too
much time in trying to work out plans
to make themselves secure in their
position. While this situation cannot
be rcmcdied at the present time still
1t is worthy of careful study"
