Mr. E P Erwin of Newport,
Fla, came in last week to visit
his home folk at Indiantown.
Among his old friends in vii
liamsburg. "Ras" is a prime
favorite and his visits here are
always a source of genuine
pleasure to them.
There seems to be no just rea-
son for the present slump in the
price of cotton and we advise
our farmer friends, all who pos
sibly can, to hold their crop
for higher prices. With the
present outlook ten cents is lit
tie enough and we believe it will
go beyond that if the farmers
will stand together aud hold
their cotton.
Following on the government
report of the cotton crop condi,
dition the local market went of
about 25 points. Just why this
result ensued is not at all ap-
parent. The estimate for Aug
ust is lower than for two years
and below the average for ten
years. The figures given would
indicate a higher instead of a
lower price.
ME.I E Blizzard, of the Kings
tree Hardware Co, made busi-

McBeth is nearer to Charleston
than to Kingstree, but the enter
prising Kingstree Hardware Co
has secured a large order tor
building material to be shipped
there, successfully competing
with similar concel MS in Charles
ton and other places that look
bigger on the map than Kings
tree.
We are assured by Mr. h W
Butler, the capable and cour-
teous manager of the Kingstree
Dry Goods Go, that the business
will be opened up next week.
AS is usually the case there
have been vexatious delays in
getting the building completed,
but things are now assumi ng
satisfactory shape and in few
davs the store will be filled with
everything that goes to make
up a first class dry goods en-
porium.
