Marsfcville. Aug. 22. Automobiles
bring to their users a variety of ex
periences one way and another. It U
very much like opening a jrue box;
there is ieer any telling what one
may discover on even the shortest
and mest casual trip.
A few afternoons ago, several of
us, th;ee women ar.d a ten year old
girl to b exact, were enjoying an
idle si in towards Anson. On the re
tarn 1 1 ii. when we had Just released
our noses after the latest car had
passed, and had actually caught a
whiff of cool woods and damn earth,
there was a sudden explosion under
the right hand front fender, and the
usual tut unexpected had happened.
We side-tracked and crawled out.
That much we could do expertly.
The jack came next. It operated
beautifully. Then !
Now, we all know how a tire should
be mended theoretically. But when
it came to the actual experience. It
seemed that this particular tire sud
denly developed as much tempera
ment as an opera singer, and took
a fiendish delight in going contrary
to all laws of man and automobiles.
Of course all traffic had ceased. A
sure way to stop It 13 to get in troub
le along a road side and want help.
For once there was no cloud of dust
upon that much traveled highway.
Theory and IMactlee Are Two Differ

After much discussion as to the
best way to do it. each of us having
nu entirely different idea about the
matter, we had gotten as tar as un
screwing that thingnmajlg where the
air go'-s in, and it got hung mid-way,
and Ki--fully refused to be removed

Speaking of co-operative market
ing, Mr. T. J. W. Broom says: "The
late L)r. teaman A. Knapp said iu
some of Lis writings that agriculture
was oue-ei-bth science, ihrt-e-eUhta.-are
and for-eighths business. Farm
ers have learned a great deal about
the scittu-e, are fairly well skilled la
the art, but up to this time cotton
lariuers hae applied very little busi
ness to agriculture. We have pur
chased fertilizers, farm implements
for preparing the soil, ilistiihutint
jthe fertilizer, planting and tilling the
crop, ana other necessary intni's tor
making a crop, all of which are pric
ed to us at a profit to the seller. If
labor is hired to help produce or
gather the crop, the laborer knows
the price he Is to receive before he
begins work. If a child is born or
sickness occurs requiring the atten
tion of a physician a profitable fee Is.
charged. Should a death occur the
undertaker gets a profit for his ser
vice. All of which Is right, for the
parties who render such service as
outlined above are entitled to profits;
it is business.
"But the farmer, after purchasing
the necessary things for the produc
tion of a crop and providing for extra
labor, takes his children to the field,
and sometimes his wife, where they
work all summer and Into the frost of
autumn, and when the crop Is har
vested he carries it to the gin where
he pays another profit. He then loads
his crop on the wagon and drives to
market and asks. "What will you
give me and my family for our years'
work?" and a small bunch of men in
New York and Liverpool answer the
question for him. Is there any liber
ty or freedom in this? Is there any
business in It?
"Now the cotton farmers all over
the South are siuuini! contracts and
binding themselves together in a co
operative marketing agreement

they will receive for their product.
It is rltht. it is just. It ought to be
done, and because it is right, and just
and oil. '.st to be done, it can be dene,
and 1 is going to be done. The
farmers are doing it, and not from
seltish motives alone, but for the
sake of the civilization of this coun
