LOOK UP YOUR OLD COT
TON CLAIMS.
Senator Money Feels Confident
That About S11, 100000 is
Coming Back to the South.

Washington, Jan IS Southern
Senator's express themselves as
hopeful over the prospects of se-
curing Legislation during the pres
ent session of Congress, looking
to the refundlng of money paid
into the Treasury Of the United
States soon after the civil war, as
the result of the sale of cotton
captured by the Federal forces.
There was originally about $50,
600, 600 of this money, out por-
ton of it was paid to the wners
of the cotton soon after the war.
The remainder was loft in he
Treasury and has remained there
ever since.
Senator Money, who is giving
especial attention locking to the
re-"pening of the subject, says
that the sum left amounts to about
$11, 100000 A bill int oduced
by S nator Davis gives one year
additional time for proof of such
cl.ims before the Court of Claims.
1t has heen favorabIy reported by
the Senate committee on claims
and Senator Money thinks the
outlook very good for favorable
action. Most of the claims are
held in the Southern States.

OF For More Mules.

Mr. Hood, Manager of The
Lancaster Mercantile Co.'S stables,
started west again yesterday for
more mules. He brought In 90
head last week but they went like
hot cakes. The sales on Thurs

This is his third trip to the West~

Lancaster is the Mule Market.

Lancaster is the best mule
market in the State. The com
petition of the four large sale
stables here, each of which buys
directly from the West in from
one to four car load lots at time,
makes mules cheaper here than
elsewhere in the State. The fact
is, dealers in other counties find
stock cheaper here than in Atlan-
Ia and do thsir buying here. Only
yesterday MIR. L j Gregory, of
Cheraw, was here and Purchased
% head from the Lancaster Mer-
contile Co.'S stables. The Greg~
ory- Rhea Mule Company of Co
lumbia bought IS head from
them the same day. Last week
Crawford 4 Elliott sold IS head
to Il dealer from Charleston. AL
most every day parties are here
from some of the adjoining un.
ties, Chesterfield, Kcrshaw, Ches-
ter, or Union county, n G., buy.
ing mules. They claim to save
anywhere from 1915 to $50 per
pair by coming to thi, market and
that is why business is so lively
at Lancaster, four big sale stables.
The farmers all through this Sec
ton of the State have learned
whore to come for the best mules
ut the most reasonable prices.
From the indications the sales
here for the first three months of
this year will amount to 1000 or
1,2OO head.
