apart from bar own qualma and terror I
of bar brother when ba waa la one of
hla rages, the doctor bad privately
warned bar that If hia anger were

might lupervena
Undo John wy an elderly member
of a ntameroba iamiiy, and the only
unmarried one. Having succeeded In
Ufa, he waa called upon to bear ?
gpod mafty flnandal burdena oa behalf
of the weaker vessels, which, to hla
credit It moat be aaid, he did quite
cheerfully. And Letltla'a son. Harold,
waa hla favorite nephew.
He had sent Harold, a quiet, unaa-1
Burning fellow, through college. He
waa really vary fond at him. But
Uncle John was an autocrat, and
whan he took an Idea Into hla head
nothing could get It out again.
And hla ragea were terrible, ele
mental, volcanic, soul-wltherlng. No
one en earth dared stand up against
Uncle John whan he let himself go?
which was not Infrequently.
Hla autocratic ways had been grow
ing on him of late. Letty, the next
eldest, could remember the time when
Uncle John had been a quiet, rather
timid boy, bossed by herself and the
rest Hew strangely he had devel

Harold wanted to marry Betty
Pringle, a very nice girl who was em
ployed In the same office with him.
There waa nothing whatever against
the match, except that Uncle John
had put his toot down and sworn he
would not permit it.
"It's so?so hard, my dear," said
Letty to her sister Barbara. "He's
lust taken this notionalnte hla head,
and of course?well, you know. John.
And If Harold and Betty marry, he'll
cut him off without a penny. Besides,
Harold cant, do that Immedlataly, at
any rate without letting Uncle John
aee he's determined. After all, ha does
owe John % good deal I"
Betty was for defying the rid ty
rant *1 don't aee why you should

Isn't reasonable."
"That's what I told him," answered
Harold. "And It came to the point

Once in a great while he did come

Betty, who had not the traditional
terror of Undo John, took her own
Una of action. There waa no dtfflculty

bonne, and the moment ahe entered
hie library Betty eeuld see that he
waa npoUlng for a light
"Bo you're the whelp of a child that
wanta to marry my nephew!" Uncle
John sneered. "After my money, I
auppoee." He thumped hla greet flat
on the desk. "Liaten to me! The
day my nephew marrlea yon I cot him
off?for ever. Get met"
"Now, you listen to ma?" Betty be

But Uncle John waa already pur

"Oh, you wretched, maun, vtclops

rushed to her eyes, she caught up a
paper-weight upon the table, and
hurled It at Undo John's head, break

Uncle John gut down, and the next
moment Betty was standing over him,
breathing defiance and maledictions,
till Uncle John sputtered:
"Stopl Stop! Lemme speak I"
"I don't wast to hear a word from

M. O. WILSON, Secretary, Florence, S. C., September 18, 1922.
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association,
Raleigh, N. C.
The Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association in South Carolina is a splendid
success. The city of Florence, including banks and bifeiness houses, is 100 per cent
cooperative. We feel that we have doubled the price of our entire South Carolina
tobacco crop the first year of its operation. Our sales committee is meeting with
wonderful success in selling our tobacco at satisfactory prices. Even the non-sign
ers are giving the Association credit for the increase in price. Every one apprecia
tes the orderly manner of marketing as against the old dumping system. When the
doors are opened again for signers we expect to see our membership increased to
nearly 100 per cent. We consider the movement the financial salvation of the
South Carolina tobacco farmer.
