ion it will be a rare thing if thu
South ever produces more than
100000 bale crop. Scarcity o.
labor is responsible for this condi
ton, which is more emphasized thi'
year than ever before. I think thu
smallness of the crop will result ii
good prices being obtained for the
product throughout the season.

Of the move for a great Methodist

of Trustees, says: "It will not be

and while the faculty of Trinity
College will be the faculty of the
woman's college, the freshman, So
phomore and junior classes in the
woman's college will have all recita-
tions in the academic building of the
woman's college. The professors
will go to them; they will not go to
the professors; so there will not be
any intermingling in the class-rooms
or halls of the two schools. The
woman's college will be under the
control and direction of the trus-

of the cooperation of Trinity College.
All official documents which may re-

THE
ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS


are so apparent that we are al
most ashamed to talk about them.
They stick right out like the nose
on your face, But, as Marcus
Aurelius might have said, if he
had thought of it: sIf a man
blow not bis own horn, the same
it shall not be blowed. And
our office boy says he'll be bIowed
# he can see why we should hide
our light under a half bushe..
So to save argument we are
willing to admit that there is no
light that even approaches the
electric light in quantity Of lienl
radiated all around the room.
The quality of the light you
can see for yourself. E ectric
lights give a strong, clear, vivid
white light. That is what is dc
manded today, pure white light
and plenty Of it.
If our points are not clear to
you, it is undoubtedly due to the
fact that your light is poor. If
you will put IN full equipment
Of electric lights the whole sub
iect viii be made beautifully
luminous, and we will have peace
IN the family.

The quantity of tobacco coming
is right large but most of it Is of a
very inferior quality and some in
bad condition due to indifference OF
the producers. The prices are
slightly in advance of last week and
are about average prices for healthy
market conditions. The prices dur
ing the first half of last season
| should not be taken Us standards OF
comparison. At that time the
trusts were in a death struggle and
the market was tremendously inflated,
far above anything before known
and above anything we shall prob,
ably see again. All the big concerns
will be represented within eight to
ten days. Then an advance may be
expected, but nothing like last sea,
sons extravagant figures need be
looked for anyway. To give an ideo
of last weeks prices We cite a few
sales: Mr. j II DuBose sold a lot fol
Z, st, 81 1Ol and 43! cents pei
pound. MIR Driggers realized 2sc
for scrap. For the balance of hi:
load he got 81, 8 and II cents. Nj
w II DuBose received as high as
IA cts for a pile. There were somt
other sales at each Of the warehouse:
equally good as these.
MI J NJ Kennedy and a negro
named Willie Burgess got into q

Kennedy received two severe blows
one on the head and one on the arm

From what We have learned the
negro attacked Mr. Kennedy with s
heavy "grub" and a knife and would
have killed him had not Alex
Eaddy and his wife protected Ken

Afterwards two white men, one with
a gun, came to Kennedy's assistance,
During what followed Burgess re
ceived a charge of shot which cooled
