FOURTEEN HUNDRED BALES
Great Receipts of Cotton Thurs.
day-Glgh Prices Bring the
Cotton.

The receipts of cotton Thursday es report
ed by the cetton weighers we're as follows !:
Wagoa receipts Sl0, railroad receipts $50 !;
total receipts at weighers platform l60
This. however, does not include all Of the
cotton marketed il this city yesterday for the
rush was 80 great at the public weighers
platform throughout the day that a great
mapy persons could not get their cotton
weighed ard they stored il in lots and ware
ho2ses untii this morning, aod this cotton,
auouutiog to more than q h1ndred bales,
perhaps more THAI 200 bales, was weighed
today and counted with today's receipts 1t
is therefore safe to say that the total actual
receipts Thursday aggregated fully 1850 to
i,400 bales. THIS is by far the greatest num-
Der of ba es ever marketed in Sumter 10 one
day and it will stand as high water mark
for come time to cone.
The heavy receipts are due to several
causes, 6rst end foremost of which is the
high r.ice raid for cotton in Sumter, while
all neiehboring markets have been from an
eighth to a half cent lower day for day.
the past several weeks which made cottea
opec prematurely and more rapidly than
ever before. The weather has been favorable
FOR gathering the crop and it has been picked
ont and ginned with unexsmpled rapidity.
The high price and the fear that the market
would decline has been an incentive to the
farmers to make unusual efforts to gather
and market the crop as quickly a. possible
The sheavy receipts do not indicate large
crop for the fact is quite to the contrary.
Sumter and adjacent counties have produced
the smallest crop for years, and when the
present rush is over the receipts will fall OF
10 minimum amount.
Somter is upquestiensbly the best cotton
market 10 the central portion CT ths State, if
not in the entire State, and 1t pays to chip
cotton here by rail, the price paid beiog &c
much greater in Sumter that the seller real
ICES profit over and above the price 10 other
markets after paying freight Sumter's
wagon trade is increasing also, for many
farmers " ho heretofore have cold their cotton
10 other places IN this aud adjoining counties
aow iod it to their advantage to haul it 9
greater distance and sell in Sumter.
Last year Sumter was the bes, market
throcghou: the season and the receipts were
heavier in consequence, aud this year 10 spite
of the short crop the years receipts are sure
to be equal to if no, greater than last years
Sumter is drawing cotton from territory that
has been considered tributary to other places.
sud at the end Of b. season it will be seen
tta. other places have lost what Sumter bas
gained High prices and fret class market
are drawing the cotton, for the farmers are
quick to discover where they receive the best
prices and the best treatment All that Sum-
ter asks is comparison of prices with other
markets, the people will do the rest and tue
receipts will continue heavy as long SO there
is cotton in the country.

ed by me 1t would not be proper
to make any extended commen: upon

nv intention to dwell at length upon
it's salient features hereafter, but |
wish among other things to say now
that there were many pleasing events
connected with it, among which was
the renewal OF acquaintance with
hundreds of friends in all parts Of tie
State. The agencies employed
against me were numerous and pow
erful, and there was combination OF
political interests that few men nave
ever been called upon to cope with,
but am grati6ed TO know that the
combined euginery of the opposition
failed to bring any more damaging
charge against me than that | vas
utterly and uncompromisipgly oppos
ed 10 the dispensary system wish all
its train of attending evils
The result Of the campaign and ITS
aatecedent circumstances abundanily
prove tina, there is great danger CT
the dispAnsary machine becoming q
monopoly of political power as it IS
now monopoly OF the liquor 5nsi
ness The State coastabnia!y was

fortunes Of their favor!te candidates
The wbiskey distillets were arrayed
as ore man in behalf the dispensary,
which buys the product of the distll
le.;es. The blind tigers in our towns
and cities and in rurai precincts
were foremost in their advocacy
of the dispensary candidates, in spite
OF the alleged "unnoly alliance .
Thus was the combustion of liquor
interests made perfect. aud it is with
in bounds 10 say that the recen'
primaries were Influenced more
directly and more generally by The
liquor traffic than any election evel
held in the State 1t is due te
truth that this much be said, because
many of the people who votee
against me were and are in Ignorance
of the true state of affairs. 1t is no
to my discredit by any means tha
the whole liquor influence was uset
to compass the result. and there wa
nothing surprising in the fact afte
all that this influence was solid tn
other way
1t is not my purpose to revive th'
issues of the campaign or to fore
shadow the course of those VIII
registered their opposition to th'
dispensary. but it is not inopportan'
to say that the fight against the whis
key monopoly will not and cannot b.
abandoned by those who oppose i

ton, and we m:st not prove rec
