Kings Mountain Cotton Market.
Kings Mountain Herald, October 1S:
AS to the cotton market Of our town
we are not prepared to write very In
telligently, because we are not in the
cotton buying and selling business, and
all that we can do is to note the facts
as they come to us. 1t Is the opinion
Of all that our people can pay as much
for their cotton as any other market,
because IL 1t Is all bought here there
will not be a sufficiency for all our
mills. Farmers are complaining that
they are not getting as much for their
cotton here as other markets are pay
ing, and they further say they Will take
their cotton away, or bring a man here
who will pay the top Of the market for
it. These are facts as stated to US.
Last week on Thursday and Friday,
Gastonia paid II cents for cotton, and
on Saturday in the morning declined
some, but closed In the evening at 1890.
This information was given us by
gentleman who said 1t was not hearsay
to him, but a fact to his own knowl-
edge. Now we are not 'jobbing" at any
one, but we are simply giving hint to
all who are interested. The farmers
are worked up to the point about cot
ton selling when they will drive any
distance for a quarter Of cent on the
pound. All we have to say Is that
Kings Mountain can pay as much as
Gastonia and they will act the part OF
wisdom in doing so.
