Business in town Oh Saturday last
showed quite an improvement, and
from now OH there should be a
good trade /; but there was scarcity
of money to pay off cotton pickers-
It seems to us that planters and others
should see that they have money on
hand instead of trying to get drafts
cashed as was done on Saturday last
There were fully two thousand dollars
in drafts being carried from one store
10 another by different persons trying
to get them cashed, and in great
MANY instances without success.

Cotton seed is down to the low price
of Sc 90 per ton, and we have heard
great many planters say that before
they will take this price that they VIII
nut the seed back on their ground.
This price shows what the trusts ana
combines eau do; only few years ago
when the cotton seed mills were h9ht-
lug each other the price of seed went
up to 1922 per ton, aud the planters re-
ceived the benefit; but as 1t Is now
with such combine, it is better to hold
ON and house their cotton seed than 70
sacrifice this product at such roOpihe
price az Sc 90 per ton.
