CoNSTANTINOPLE, Sept. s (By The

here that the Kemalists have captured
General Tricoupis, the new commander
in chief of the Greek army in Asia
Minor.
Near Point Fifty Miles From Smyrna
A dispatc', from Kemalist sources re-
ports that the Turks have occupied
Mazelli, Adm and Soma and are
marching on Bergama, about fifty miles
north-northeast of Smyrna.
One Greek army commander, two
corps commanders and five coloneIs
were taken prisoner Saturday, while
other prisoners captured by the Turks
include 400 officers and 10000 men.
1T is declared that Mustapha Kemal
treated the captured generals with
courtesy, permitting them to write to
their families.
While the Turks are fastening ts

in their drive toward Smyrna the lat.

News of the appointment of Genera
Tricoupis as commander in chief was
received with marked enthusiasm b,
the local Greek population, which nov
looks for a turn in the fortunes O,
their army. They also point to tht
success won by the Third Army Corps

eating that the Greek morale is not

Athens Claims Turk Repulse

ATHENS, Sept (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Fresh attacks by the
Turkish Nationalists have been re-
pulsed by the Greeks, who inflicted
severe casualties on the Kemalists, ac-
cording to an official communique is
sued last night. The statement says:
"The enemy's offensive toward Akar-
dag met with stubborn resistance from
our troops, who repulsed fresh attacks.
The number Of the enemy killed and
wounded exceeds 10000. Our forces
retired in order, destroying communi-
cations.
"The enemy has not yet occupied
Eski-Shehr, although the town has
been evacuated five days.
"The massacres and persecution of
the Christians in the evacuated dis
tricts continue. A considerable num-
Der of refugees are following our re-
firing troops"
Paris Hears Greeks Are Routed
PARIS, Sept. g. Latest advices
reaching official circles here on the
Asia Minor situation declare that all
that remains of the Greek army is
100 900 men fleeing in utter route be-
fore the victorious Turkish National
lists and now less than sixty miles from
the Mediterranean. The advices de-
clare it probable that only half that
number of Greeks will reach the sea,
as organized fighting units of Turks
are now within fifty miles of Smyrna
and forty miles from the Sea OF Mar
mora.
The Turkish advance since the Of
fensive was launched ten days ago is
stated to be more than 130 miles, which
experts here say is one of the fastest
I q advances in all the history Of wars.

Farmers Gaining
Strength in Union

Union, Nov. 11.-That Union
county is setting a pace which
might wei be followed by other
counties in progressive agriculture
is shown by the forward steps being
taken by farmers in that county as
reported by County Agent W. D.
Wood. who gives some interesting
facts about soil building. increased
interest in livestock, home orchards,
etc.
Illustrating the value OF soil
building, Mr.. Wood reports the ex-
perience of NJ. r. Jeter, of Union
who produced on a field Of corn
following crimson clover turned un-
der 70 bushels per acre with only
200 pounds of 8-3-3 fertilizer. this
yield being about seven times the
average yield for the county. He
points Out also the fact that the
value of fertile soil under boil Wee
vii conditions has been clearly
shown on a number of other
farms, in that seed termination
was better, stands were more uni
form, fruiting and maturity We're
more satisfactory, and therefore
cotton yields much better.
Regarding livestock and orchard
ing the county agents own words
tell the story most effectively. He
says:
Hogs.-The interest in hogs is
growing in this county. A mum.
ber Of farmers are building new
fences and planting forage crops
this fall.
Dairying-One year ago there
was only one shipper of cream ir
this county while at the present
time there are several farmer:
shipping cream to nearby cream.
cries. Marked development alons
this line may be expected durinf
the next twelve months.
Orcharding.-Over one hundred
additional home orchards will b.
planted this fall, and if presen
plans n1aterialize about $50 acre
of peaches will be set out 70
commercial purposes.

!! Florence. Nov 13.-Thousands

| Oliver j. Sands, executive man
ager of the big cooperative ad-
dressed enthusiastic meetings at
Kingstree and Florence today
while Treasurer Craig talked to
crowds at Fairmont and Dillon.
In introducing Mr.. Sands, here,
Director T. B. Young, referrd to
an advertisement in today's news
paper signed Jas S. Wilson to let
the growers know what kind Of
a man they had turned out to, hon.
or. who as he said was giving his
lserviees to the association.
Al the start Of his speech Mr..
Sands referred to the advice given
out by enemies Of the association
who had told growers in eastern
North Carolina to light their cigars
with their participation certificates
and the oft-repeated statement
that the association would never
make a second payment declar-
ing that cooperative marketing has
fully demonstrated itself already,
and that farmers Lave organized a
great selling corporation and not a
holding company Nh. Sands ehal-
lsngea anyone in the courthouse to
deny that cooperative marketing
had already made prices higher
this year. He paused a moment
+ at this point but no one in his
audience would deny this state
ment.
You are selling South Carolina
tobacco this year for the first time
through your own experts, ascorps
OF men who, as leading tobacco
authorities have said, are un-
equalled in the United States. .
Throughout his speech Mr.. Sands
was interrupted by :, applause
as he reconnted all the things
the association has accomplish
ed in its first year, and stress
ed the fact that, he as banker
was interested in cooperative
marketing because it would help
everybody in business as well as
the farmer.
I'VE have three and a half mil
lion dollars in cash in Richmond
to- be used in the second payment
IN eastern North Carolina and the
old belt and we hope to make an
other distribution in South Caro-
lima by Christmas, 80 sa
At Fairmont Treasurer T. H.
Craig told a big crowd OF members
that @our organization which the
opposition said could not be start
ed cannot now. be stopped" That
the association had doubled prices
this year in this belt and that the
desperate fight made by the oppo-
sition was because they saw their
profits under the auction system
going never to. return. He admit
ted that mistakes could be made
but asked the growers to tell the
association about them first, and
said the auction gang had made
prices for fifty years, but that
seYou viii price the crop for Ave
years now"
Tomorrow Manager Sands will
speak at Mullins and Conway while
Treasurer Craig will address grow
ers at Coward.

where they can grow to womanhood

Most Of the Kiwanis clubs adopt
some piece Of charity or public
work as its main objective and
strive continually toward its chos-

ing with this policy the Sumter

It is not planned to have drive

soicit for the money needed, but to
earn the amount by entertainments,
athletic contests and in various
ways as suggest themselves from
time to time to the committee and
TO the club. To this end the COM
naittee has booked a Lyceum at

tertain with delightful music so that
those who attend the performance
will have the double of satisfaction
OF feeling that each ticket buyer

The entertainment will be held
probably in the high school audi

the hour, price and place will be
made. In the meanwhile the COM
nittee asks everyone to fix this
date, December 5th in mind, and
