the CuIebra Cut. where effort was
chiefly concentrated. was sI597o cubic

This trouble was settled satisfactorily

GOOD TIME TO MAKE MONEY.

This Is the best year that I ever
saw for making money" said an ex-
perienced travelling man. with the
price Of cotton at 10 cents and the
price of cotton seed at $l2 a, ton, a
man with $4,000 in cash to-day
could be worth double that amount
by the last of next May. In my opin-
ion, the best Investment possible
right now is cotton and cotton seed.
The prices Of both Of these are bound
to go up. A man can make a mint
of money If he will only buy all the
cotton and seed that he can get at
these prices. | heard a cotton seed
oil man say a couple of days ago that
he can buy now more seed at $12 a
ton than he could when the price was
$40 ton several weeks ago."
The above is from the Anderson
Daily Mail, and we believe it is a cor
rect statement. Unquestionably there
is going to be rise in the price Of
both cotton and cotton seed in the
future, and we believe it is not so
very far in the future. Investing in
cotton is certainly safe proposition.
ButT-and this Is the real point at
which we are driving-why should
investors make the profit? You far
mers and producers who have cotton
on hand are the ones who should re-
alize this profit. 1t is justly yours,
and therefore will be yours. unless
You see fit to give 1t to in:C stors by
selling at a low price. there Is no
blame to attach to those who buy
your cotton now and hold 1t for the
inevitable rise. 1t is legitimate
business in which you producers, or
we, or anybody else, could with all
propriety engage. 1t is equally le-
gitimate for the producer to hold his
cotton and reap the benefit Of the
rise when it comes. And it must
come. The dealers in futures have
already sold your cotton three times
over, and the day of reckoning must
come. When the dates for delivering
this future" cotton draw near cot
ton will have to move. You farmers
might as we'll realize now that your
cotton is as good as gold, and that
the supply Is diminishing daily.
When the demand comes for cotton
you will reap the dividends If you
hold to what You have. Swing to it
till the demand comes.

An Unusual killing.
(Anderson Mail, 19th.)

Mail, I5Iu.D
There was unusual killing on the
Mcbride plantation, near Iva, Satur-
day night. Lee Beatty, colored, is
dead, and the officers do not know
who did the killing.
A telephone message from Deputy
w. w. Adams to the sheriff's Office
says that Mr.. Adams, Policeman
Gibbs, Of Starr, Bud" Craft, Sam
McAdams, and three other officers,
were out on raid Saturday night
for some negro gamblers. AS these
men were passing a negro's house on
their way to the house Of a negro
some distance away, terrible noise
was heard. Directly more than fif-
teen negroes ran out Of the house
and took to the woods. p. 49,,
The officers concealed themselves
in some bushes and the negroes be-
gan firing down in the woods. The
officers then gave chase and found
Lee Beatty dead. The other negroes
had succeeded in getting away.
The presumption Is that the ne
groes were gambling. The officers
were sighted, and thinking that The
officers were on their trail, the ne
groes rushed out of the house to the
woods. Lee Beatty was one Of the
last negroes to leave the house 1t
is supposed that the other negroes
in the darkness, took him to be one
Of the officers chasing them and fired
on him, and the shots took effect
This Is a mere suspicion. however.

TO SETTLE THE
AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

At a meeting of the District amateur
championship commission, held last even
ing in the National Guard Armory, 1t was
decided that the tie game between the
Trinity and Treasury teams will be played
off next Tuesday at National Park as the
second game of a double-header which will
have the Nationals and St Louis teams as
the first attraction.
There was considerable discussion as to
the ACCESSIBILITY Of playing off the game,
the Trinity contingent claiming that the
series of twelve games had been played,
leaving Trinity with the best percentage,
and that for that reason Trinity should be
declared the champion. Treasury con-
tended that the tie game did not figure
in the number of games won and lost the
game should be played, because should
Treasury win it would give the depart
mentaiites a chance for the pennant, as
Treasury. Trinity and Aloysius would then
be tied for the lead. When the question
came up Aloysius and Treasury voted that
the game be played and Trinity and Beth
any that 1t should not, whereupon Presi-
dent Doyle decided the tie by voting that
the game should be played.
Treasurer ThaCher Of the commission was
authorized to perfect arrangements for the
game as it is understood that a tentative
agreement has been reached with the Of
ticials of the Washington ball club for the
use of National Park in the manner stated
above.
