CawHtt*. MX t* aOh Mb* A Girl. A Man. and the hare of a Velvet Night. Darkness fell swiftly, as is the alit of Florida’s twilight.

The plaintive notes of a violin came from i! screen ol potted plants.

No one rose to dance. Then, as a meteor darts vividly to n-aids earth, the inmitable Gild;; Gray flashed into sight. From her dance ant! her encore, r.o ore could have torn themselves away. The whole utmofphcre ot the place was vibiant with color and delight. ! locked at my watch when the fast echo of applause had lost itself as a whisper in the night. “Now, we mast start”, I avowed, I :,ihe time has simply ; kipped past.” “By jovc! you’re right”, he agreed but then letting his eyes rest upon me. he became lost in thought. I rose from my chair. “No, no,” he motined me to c-it dew n. “you stay here where it’s pleas ant while I scout around for a car.” (To Be Continued) Bryan One of Greatest Preachers. (From News and Observer) “He was one of the greatest preachers of his time and I believe he will go down in history chiefly for that” declared Governor McLean this afternoon referring to William Jennings Bryan. “I believe he was a great moral force” said Mr. McLean, “ami I had a great admiration for him. While I Jid not always agree with him on political issues, I admired the man. I had known him personally for a ong time.” Governor McLean desisted from his gubernatorial duties this afternoon fer 30 minutes in response to his call to the people of the State to do like wise as a mark of respect for the Commoner as he was laid in his last resting place. -if ii ■ ^ »Mj ftf ftfr.TTMh.init. To th* Editor of The Kcinsonion: f have never felt capable of writing to newspapers other thhn recording t! c happenings in the town in which I lived, it others would adhere to their sp.iere instead ot attempting to soar over-night into realms of intelligence ami understanding whore they ehwr themselves with Dr. Brisbane they should mote likely receive the thBch desired approbation of pul tic senti ment. 1 notice fhv, good friend T mid broth er minister comments on ti e worldly minded class In the church In a very unintelligent manner.

( Iri regards to the program referred, 'to by >ir.

First. I wartt to say that the songJ mentioned by our eminent critic was, not . ung. Although it might have boon no awful sin committed. It was an invitation tor l.od's young people to meet together in the town where the Tory Hole is toiind ami sit together in ‘•Heavenly places”. I thank God, yea verify, I praise Gt>d that our young pooph* awl oider on.-* too nearly <TK) stiong met us ti er*, while “Heaven came down our seals to greet, and glory crowned the mercy teat”. If we had us ad the song as an invitation to meet at a ball or a swimming pool cur friend? might have had some; ground for attack. 1 remember in our great 76 million campaign ’our great men saw fit to change the chorus of the “Battle ITymn of Republic” to “Millions, Mil-* liens for the Master”.

No tobacco-growing State has lene fited more from cooperative market ing than South Carolina and no tobac co farmed 1ft the South today ate more awake to the benefit* of the To bacco Growers Cooperative Associa tion than the South Carolinians. Virginians and North CSrollnlans must go back to 1920 to recall the ef fect of having prices Cut ht half 1ft a single year. Tneir memory of ten cent tobacco must reach back to the days before the World W4r. But the days of tOn cent tobacco atfll rankle in the memory of South C*r6lfntans, for no 'onfer ago than 1921 they sarW their crops- net them an average of scarcely more than ten cents a pourtd hi a season when the auction buyers "pnssed" or refused to bid Oft millions of pounds of tobacco which were eith er dragged back to the farms for fer tiliser or left on the warehouse floors to be sold later ty the speculators for ft considerable profit. , HAS itAD& THE f»HICE Since 1921 the TdbaccO Growers Cooperative Association Ills ’ been in action and South Carolina farmers have received k higher price for their tobacco; 1ft fact, almost double the average of any three years in history except for the World War period. Today with one of the largest nnd finest crops that has ever been pro duced in the Soath Carotin* belt, awaiting the opening of the markets on August 4, the South Carolinians in and out of the association look upon it as their only assurance of receiving a fair price for their crop. The merchants, the bankers, the doctors and other professional men of the South Carolina tobacco country hold the same belief and are backing the association more earnestly than In any previous season. That is one reason why 725 new members drill swell deliveries to the association thta year. This is one of the reasons foi the prediction of the directors that re. ceipts will double at most of the co operative houses in the South Caro lina Felt. . OFEN DOOHS WIDE To insure deliveries the members have this ye*i taken a mote active part in the assd ciation’s affairs than at any tuh< since 1921. The fire hundred “mirmti rtnert” or volunteer workers who in creased the sigh-up bjf hundreds of acres in tiisfr recent membership cam paign, have enlarged their number tc 750.
