Cotton Shipments From .Abbevilie.

Total cash paid for seed 2S'l
The price OF cotton has held up well this
week, and yesterday evening it had an up
ward tendency, ranging from 9 ii TO y IL
cents.
This has been busy week with our people
and all seem abundantly pleased.
Many people have surplus money, whicl'
they are spending literally In our stores, and
others of more frugal mind, are either pay
ing old debts. or laying by something for n
rainy day.
The demand for cotton bagglng is fully sup
piled, we believe, and, 1t is possible that some
men have on hand more than they really
want Perhaps fifteen. or possibly twenty
per cent OF the receipts for the last few days
has been covered in cotton.
This community has not lost much in the
way OF cotton bagging, as many farmers re-
fused 10 sustain the loss which its use neces-
sarlly incurred, or else they found 1t too diff
ficult to get the light bacging.
Many farmers hereabout make as much as
thirty 500 pound bales.
To pack thirty such bales In cotton bagging
means the loss OF about sixteen pounds to
the bale, or total loss of one bale In thirty.
Very Few farmers are able to see how they
are to get back that bale, after 1t is lost, and
as every bale couuts-in a majority of instan'
ces but few bales will be thrown away about
here.
As yet, no man has explained how the lost
bale is to be regained.
The disposition, therefore, on the part Of
most men, is to get as much as possible out oI
every bale and we presume that some OF our
friends will see. even with the cotton baggine
on hand, that 1t would be economy to use the
cotton for something else than covering theii
cotton.
During excitement farmers may be led to
disregard small matters, but when 1t comes u
packing bale OF cotton they are, as rule,
anxious to get out OF 1t, all that there is In IT.
and when they know that they lose about
sixteen pounds of lint by packing a 500 pound
bale In light bagging, We are inclined to the
opinion thata majority Of them will not sub
NIT TO the loss.
We have heard OF one tenant, to whom hel
landlord had furnished cotton bagging She
was indignant and said she didn't intend to
use democrat bagsing." She made a dress
OF it. however. and bought jute for her bale.

riOus Drunk Reasons.
1t must have been in the atmosphere,
for the number of DRINKS that came
before the police judge yesterday morn
ing was all out of proportion to the
other crimes charged. OF eighteen
prisoners, twelve were charged with
drunkenness. Nine of them were wise
and three were foolish. The nine wise
ones paid the fine prescribed by Senator
Scheffer, while the lights of the three
foolish ones went out at the ten-day
mark. They we're Lottie Logan, Mrs.
Carroll and Pat Murphy. Lottie got
drunk because she had pain;- Mrs.
Carroll got drunk for fun and regretted
it. while Murphy had no explanation to
offer.
Thomas Smidden, matchmaker, was
achaFged with an assault upon Solomon
