ways used to rob the weak, knowing
that this is the time for the payment

Dispensers in Columbia Do Big Busl-
ness With Dry Counties.
81 cannot fill the orders that come
in for whiskey from Union and New
berry unless I am given shipping
clerk said one Of the Columbia dis
pensers yesterday.
"You would be surprised at the
number of sales made by me to Union
and Newberry people and I am con-
stantly receiving requests for supplies
to be shipped. Of course, cannot
ship the stuff as L have not the time
nor inclination to turn my dispensary
into shipping department, but the
requests are coming in just the same.
II think I can safely state that my
sales last week and the week before
were double that of any previous year
at the present time and large part
of this is due to the demand foe wnis-
key in Newberry and Union"
The statement will not cause much
surprise here except as to the guam
tity demanded by the above named
counties. It was made by a dispenser
in whom the county board has perfect
confidence. and his report fled at the
end of the month on sales, as COM
pared with a similar report Of last
year, will bear out the statement.
There has been some question raised
as to the legality in shipping whiskey
from one county to another by the dis
pensers and it is generally held that
the law does not provide for this.
However, the whiskey bought here is
packed by private pcrties and shipped
and the dispenser has nothing to do
with it.-Columbia Record.

Interest is not too high, borrow mon

present need, and enable them to Win
the fight that has been won and will
be won before this season is over.
Those who have to sell now or at least
realize some money on their cotton
are the ones whom I am most partlc-
ularly interested in benefting. All
those in reach Of Columbia can ship
their cotton in to warehouses here,
and as far as am able, will give it
my personal supervision. The rate Of
interest on money advanced is the
most reasonable shat I have yet been
able to obtain. and ary one wishing 20
ship cotton TO Columbia for storage,
by communicating with me, I think
will be pleased with the interest
charged.
s.When the time comes to sell the
cotton shipped to Columbia we can
have buyers from the different parts
of the State, representing different eX.
porting firms and different mills, to
bid on The same.

HOLD. YOUR COTTON.
Mr.. e. D. Smith. President of Cotton
Association, Reviews the Situa-
ton.

Mr.. E. D. Smith, State president OF
the Southern Cotton association, mas
given out an interview in which ne
said:
sI am just back from trip in the
eastern section Of the State and ma
: that all of the cotton is practically
open and in some sections gathered.
qThe. ont turn is far below what was
anticipated before picking began.
There is no top crop at all, and. the
entire picking with the force OF hands
now available, will, according to the
statement of the best posted farmers,
be completed entirely by the 18th Of
October.
.sThe out turn Of the lint from the
seed is shorter than it has been in
years.
I wish to call attention of the
farmers Of this State to the govern
ment report issued this week, IN
which it is said that there was a de-
fgrioration on sandy lands, but that

misleading statements that are sent
in officially and unofhcially to the

.I have travelled over the entire
Piedmont section with the exception
OF some few patches too small to be

lands.

farmers are selling their cotton re-
gardless of the price, which is also
untrue. I am in a position to give &
better estimate of the South Carolina
crop, I presume, than any other one

unhesitatingly say that from the pres

crop that has been made on the same
acreage in four or five years. The final

financial benefit that will accrue TO,
them to hold their cotton. Let ever,

er lend his aid one to the other for the
purpose of Withholding his cotton
