THE COTTON MARKET.
The Abbeville Cotton Mill Buying
LARGELY.

The AbbevilIe Cotton Mill has bought sou
bales of new cotton, being the bulk OF the
staple 80 far delivered this season. The aver.
age price has been over six cents, or ABOUT 70
oS Sc a bale more than cotton brought last
year. The general belief is that we will have
q small crop and a still higher price, but the
Press and Banner will walt for further devel-
opments before giving an opinion; Mr.. y; A.
Visanska. one of the oldest as we'll as well as
one of the best buyers In Abbeville, says that
instead of receiving In this market l3.UOo baies
as we did last year, that not over l0Ooo paleS
will be received this year, unless the high
prices which is being paid for the staple
should draw cotton from less inviting cotton
markets.

as fGctor in naval warfare ID mat WHICH,
such d boat can speed at fifteen or t"eh'y
knots under water, and pick her way
without coming 10 the surface every 50
often to ascertain her bearings, the mat
ter might be worthy 10 occupy the atteh'
ton OF practical naval men. AS that time
is yet u long way Off, the submarine-poat
is formidable only to the man who knows
nothing about marine warfare.
The only purpose the submarlne-poat
scare has served in this country is 10 can
attention 10 the many ways in when

by cruising around and sighting 1t When
II comes TO the surface. as II has 10 90
continually. When IL is known that the
submarine-bOat il in the vicinity or the
ship that II intends 10 strike, any violent

ing the blow that could be struck 10 the
submarine-boat by an explosion OF smell

was in the water when a big gun was

the concussion which would inevitably
