AGAIN IT GOES TO TEN CENTS.
Cotton Market Was Quite Bullish
Yesterday.

Again it looks like the farmer, who
nervily held on to his cotton, would
get the coveted ten cents for it, and
that right soon.
The market took considerable
stride upward yesterday.
January contracts touched ten cents
for the first time since October 10th,
last year, when the fearful slump put
the market down 143 points, or a cent
and half.
Then it was that January dropped
from 1918 down to 8:75, and froze out
the bull element in the South to the
tune of millions.
Yesterdays advance, therefore, was
the greatest in nearly three months.
In the Americas market the best cot
ton brought 81 to,95 cents yesterday,
but it is only question of short time
before it brings 'even money" fol
which our farmers have held it.

CALLED TO A BRIGHT REWARD
Funeral of Mrs Mary slappey On Sun
daV.

The funeral services of Mrs. Mary S.
Slappey were conducted on Sunday af-
ternoon from her late residence on
Church street. Rev. G. w. Mathews,
of the First Methodist church, read
the burial service and spoke feelingly
OF the beautiful life ended the evening
previous.
For indeed a salnted one had gone
to receive her reward on high.
A concourse of sorrowing friends
paid this final tribute of respect to one
whom they loved so we'll in life and
the services, both at the home and at
the cemetery, were most impressive.
Mrs. Slappey was Ga years of age, and
in her brief illness exemplifed the
beautiful life of the true Christian,
For fifty years she had been a consist
ent member of the Methodist church
and had ever served her Master.
She was daughter of Capt. W. B.
Stewart, once one of Sumter's promi.
nent citizens. Forty-fou years age
she blended her life with that of Mr.
r. Fl. Slappey,.an the union was g
happy one, He, with three sons and
two daughters are left to revere hel
precious memory.
These are Messrs. Charles, William
and Thomas Slappey, and Misses Liz
zie and Callie, who, with the stricken
husband and father, have the tender
est sympathy of many friends.
