COTTON.

The cotton market was quiet and un-
changed to-day. Transactions were on a
light scale, and there was nOthing to add
interest to the situation. The market
seems 20 be in a state of hesltancy and
until some new factor develops the chances
for change are moi promising. The re-
ceipts was the feature to-day being $500
bales, against 2,40 bales the same day
last year.
The following were the official spot quo
tations al the close of the market, at
the Cotton Exchange TODAY:

There was some selling of the new crop
positions, and this gave a weakness to the
months beyond October.
The volume of transactions was very
small representing for the most part a
local business and a weak undertone. In
the afternoon the local traders had the
market almost exclusively to themselves.
At the lowest point of the session prices
showed decline Of Sd10 points; at the
best prices a decline of 1G2 points. The
market closed quiet and steady at a net
loss of 3Gt0 points.

There Is lady in Savannah who was
almost a wreck from indigestion. She
could not eat but 1t hurt her; she
dwindled away, and Notwithstanding
she was attended by physicians, they
did not seem TO strike the right treat-
ment for her. And she never expected
10 be well again.
A friend gave her Graybeard and she
is now in splendid health. She eats
what she likes and goes out when she
wishes and her friends tell her she

The Charleston Exposition,

We are in RECEIPT Of u circular letter
OF Thos. f. Brantly, of Orangeburg,
calling a meeting OF that county, with
the view that the county have a county
exhibit at the great Exposition of 1901
The leading counties in the State will
nodoubt have exhibits, and we would
be delighted to see Laurens in the
category and bringing her sourc to
the attention of the outside world. There
needs only intelligent leadership and en-
terprise to see our lands doubled in price
and our population teeming in the next
ten years Here THE ADVERTISER
begs to say that it wants q great county
fair for 1901 believing that the com
petition should be largely at home
whore the stimulus should be i'm
pressed, that cattle, sheep, horses,
mules, hogs and poultry shall be grown
and as a prerequisite, grains and
grasses should lead. Let us not be
fooled by 10 cents cotton. Let our
farms abound in pastures, let the GER
calls grow and fruits will follow, and all
the land in ~ little while blossom as the
rose. Then good roads will come and
the land be beautiful for our children
to inherit.

The world has never known q more
dramatic situation than that presented
by the foreign community within the
walls OF Picking while cut Off from com
munication with their cOuntrymeu.
During these long, doubtful weeks, the
interesting figure in this i~nterna-
tional tragedy was Sir Robert Hart.
who for more than twenty-five years
has been as far, as q European might,
the statesman guiding the affairs OF
the Chinese Empire. Those familiar ia
any degree with Eastern conditions,
hoped, after the relief of Picking, that
Sir Robert would break his long rule
OF silence and give to the world his
story of the events which led to the
closing Of the gates OF the British
Legation, and his views as to the poll
cies which should prevail in the settle
ment OF the difficult questions which
had arisen. On the 18th of October,
the following cable-message from Sir
Roberts London representative to the
EdltCr OF The Cosmopolitan was re-
oetved: Sir Robert Hart has sent for
November number Fortnightly, Lon
don, and Cosmopolitan, New York, an
important article, on siege Of Peking
about fifteen thousand words, which |
will post you tomorrow.
The Ms. arrived in time to be in
cluded in the December issue. 1t will
be read with the deepest interest, both
by statesmen and the general public.
The Cosmopolitan has been highly
honorcd by Sir Robert Hart in his SO.
lection Of the American magazine
through which this valuable contribu-
tion to the history Of the world is given

What Laurens Needs.

We have a big cotton mill that we
did not have ten years ago n it has
added two thousand to the city's Dopu-
latiOn and is a success. Ten years ago
and we were Il VilIago-after having eX-
listed for Il century as II hamlet. Twelve
years ago we built au oil mill. 1t is a
success, and a material factor in the
business Of the city. In the year 1900,
Mr.. Wilkes, an enterprising citizen,
has built and put in operation a large
furaiture factory. 1t is Il success, and
hundreds of people in our good county
are benefited, finding ready cash sale
for lumber, hitherto wasted as fuel on
me farm. These enterprises have
added, as We have said, greatly to the
growth and business Of our little city,
contributed to the success and pros
perity of many CT liens of our county,
given ~remunerative employment to
many families, as well as individuals of
u Own county, while drawing many
from abroad. The natural inquiry
arises now, Shall we consider the city
as finished. and SHALL our wide-awske
young busi"csS mon conclude thai ,hCy
have done enough M rest upou their
laurelS! In these fifteen ears it IL
pleasure to "cllect l',t we have added
largely to TN" wealth and comfort of the
city three beautiful churches have
been bui many tasteful private resi-
derccS adOrn II avenues, successful
electric, water 'nd telephone systems
are in operation. mites of smooth hard
and pc ishcd streets are made. four
banks have been put on foo for the
accommodation OF business and the
public, and al these enterprises have
contributed to the comfort and cOnven-
fence OF our whole county. But shalt we
halt at this? The town should have ten
Thousand souls utthc end of the next do
cad, when another census is had. An
other cotton mill OuSSib Y for finer fab
RIGS, is worth cOnSid ~ring:anOthpr furni-
iture factory, an addition to the one IN
operations; q hosiery mill: u hundred en-
trlprlses that we might enumerate and
we would not have far to go to find the
raw materia, with which to work. A
business league composed of the young
men and the old should be organized at
once to take all these matters into con-
Slderation, but we favor decidedly put
ting young blood in the lead. To sue
coed there should be harmonious CO.
operation. There is a little army here
or good young men who should move
solidly together, dozens of them fit to
lead, having tie business experience
and training INC who would inspire en-
tire confidence. What is wanted is to
put heads together. determine upon an
enterprise, and the work is more than
fa'f accomplished. We conclude with
the suggestion that there is now pro-
badly more surplus capital in the city
and county than at any former period
and many farmers of the county have
means that they would gladly invest in
promising enterprises, and who are too
wise to put all their eggs in one basket.
We have only to look around us and
find G~reenvilie, Anderson, Spartan
burg, Greenwood, Union and Newberry
eloquent object lessons of what harmon
ious action and push-all-together can
accomplish. Get together and touch ell
bows and we have Aladdin's wonderful
lamp.
