HOLD YOUR COTTON.
Fourteen IL ,asons why the Farmera
st RhOmld NO so.

Fourteen IL ,asons why tho Farmers
Should DO SO.
The following circular from Mr. j.
g. Waunamaker, President of the
O:angeburg County Cotton Associa
tion will be read with interest.
Farmers, hold your cotton for high
er prices!
Because 1t Is worth / cents or more!
Because 1T la bound to sell at much
higher figures!
Because the man who makes the
cotton should help to make the price
b -cause trade is broad and strong,
and record breaking as to textiles
Because the mills are making mon.
ey on basis Of II cents and II cents
cottol
Because the world needs,every bale,
and will take 1t greedlly at ii CENTS IL
we would hold firm!
Because we are no longer slaves to
the north, but free people with our
banks full Of money, and the merchants
and bankers at our backs!
Because we live In record. bl eak-
ing age, and the present cotton crop,
which has maturcd and opened unus-
ally early, will be found to be very
short, when the world wide and un.
precedented demand for cotton goods
Is considered!
Because the farmer needs the mon.
ey, and deserves it more than the
speculator
Because money don't buy as much
now as formerly
Because everything the farmer buys
has gone up In price, why not cotton
Because the Southern Cotton asso.
iatlon has fixed the price for good
cotton at 4 cents, and this associa.
tion is fighting ourbattle, and has put
millions Of del ars In the pockets OF
southern people!
Because We should be true to south
ern manhood and the southlandi
Because II we show the white feath-
er and sell, we will felt like kicking
ourselves out Of sight when cotton is
selling at cents TO IL 10 per pound
S and pat for | l cents!

President Orangeburg Cotton Associa.

situation at the start was stronger, in

floor traders and professionals sold
and prices gradually weakened. North.
western receipts were larger, as also
We're primary receipts. Crop reports
from Kansas. Ohio and Oklahoma
were favorable. Minneapolis reports
a better demand for cash wheat. Liv-
erpool was steady at u higher. The
strength at Liverpool was reported
due to cable advicas from India stat
ing that the weather was cold and
wet, making prospects less favorable
TO very bad. The close was weak, the
market being quite dull the last hour.
C0RN-There was a good general
trade and fairly active market, the
feeling being rather unsettled Final
figures showed May a shade higher,
July up X. The early tone was strong,
influenced by higher cables.
Commission houses ana receiving

buyers at start, with floor traders and

THRIVING TERRITORY
CITIES ARE PROMOTED
VALUABLE LOTS SOLD vERv
CHEAP IN ORDER TO INDUCE
IMMIGRATION AND INCREASE
POPULATION.

Nj. G. F. Mackay of the Enid IN
vestment company of Enid Oklahoma
is in the city endaavorng to inter
est Cairoites in proposition involving
the future of the thriving territorial
city.
The proposition is simple and con
Quoted upon the principle Of placing
before the people of the country its
many advantages and the sale of lots
thereby inducing immigration and
adding to the population of the com
munity.
This system of promotion has been
followed extensively by every Town in
the territory, but aside from two other
cities none can show the many natural
advantages that Enid enjoys.
The lots thar are offered for sale al
an extremely low price ara convenient
to the business heart of the city and
are part OF hundred acres plated in
to 500 lots 25xl30 feet and situated
within two blocks OF the Rock Island
station, one of the seven roads center
ing in this city Of 1900 Inhabitants.
The plan is guaranteed by bankers,
commerc al bodies. clerk of the dis
trict court register of deeds. etc.
Mr.. Mackay will call upon Cairoltes
within the next few days and explain
thoroughly the proposition 20 the en-.
tire satisfaction of any willing listen
er, whether they wish to invest or not.

with the people of that section,
and he is well fitted for the work
Of getting the title to the land,
over which the Southern Pacific
Company propose to build it's
line from Lafayette to Baton
Rouge.
Fred Wilbert, of Plaquemine,
had donated eighteen miles of
right of way through his places
in West Baton Rouge and Iber-
vile Parishes. Mr.. Dubroca
thinks that he will have little
difficulty in getting the land for
the road through the remainder
Of the parish. The people, as a
rule, are giving every encourage
ment to the enterprise.
