DESERT TURNED
INTOFERTILE GARDEN

Two years ago a great, dry and
barren plain, larger than the whole
State of Massachusetts, lay between
the Rio Grande and the Nucces river,
says the National Magazine. 1t had
1000 white inhabitants, mostly cat
tie raisers, and it's pasturage was so
scant that it required 10 acres to
raise one steer.
They bored for water and they
found tin gushers that poured out
1000 gallons minute and make lakes
among the cacti and the mesquite.
Within a year B. F. Yoakum, the man
they call the maker of the Southwest,
had shot 1879 miles of railroad from
his Frisco systems across the ers-
while desert, a score of towns had
become the winter vegetable garden
of the country.
Today at least $4,000 of it's acres
are growing lettuce, tomatoes, cauli-
flower, onions and strawberries for
the winter markets of the North, and
the 10 acres that two years ago
would feed but one steer will now
produce from $4,000 to $1,000 in
crops.
1t is this fact that is attracting the
farmers of Iowa, Nebraska, and the
Middle West and inaugurating a mig
ratory movement that has caused a
cry of alarm to be raised from the
States that are being depopulated in
the sense that their increase has been
checked. Millions of acres in this
artesian belt remain untouched and
are still producing nothing but sun
burned cactus and mesquite.

WEDDING ON SUNDAY
AT FRIENDSHIP
Marriage of Miss Dupree
and Mr.. Harvey.

The wedding of Mr.. Lasco Harvey
and Miss Annie Belle Dupree, at the
home of the brides parents near
Friendship, on Sunday afternoon, was
a very pretty social event that was
witnessed by several of the friends OF
contracting parties from Americas
and a large number representing
other sections of Sumter county. In
all, probably a hundred guests were
gathered to witness the ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. Mr..
McMichael.
The brides home was artistically
decorated in green and white. Miss
Maggie Buchanan, shortly before the
entrance of the bridal party into the
parlor, sang Always" and then, as
the bride and groom came from across
the hall, played Menhelssohn's we'd
ding march. The attendants were Mr..
William Dupree and Miss Mary L..
Harvey, Mr.. Albert Dupree and Miss
Mable Rocks. The bride wore a
brown tailor made suit, with hat
to match.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bridal couple left for the home of
the groom's parents near Shiloh,
where a wedding supper was served.
Nine couples sat down to such a
feast as only old Sumter can furnish
and a most enjoyable evening was
passed.
Numerous presents were received,
of silver, china, cut glass, ETC., at
testing the affection and esteem in
which the bridal couple are held by
their numerous friends. They will
make their home at Shiloh.

COTTON MARKETS STILL
SHOWED WEAKNESS
Sales Locally IA Gent Off,
Some Holding

Except for fitful upturns the cotton
contract market gradually YIELDED
to bearish influences yesterday and
closed at net losses of to 10 points
for the active positions at New York
and 6 to IA points down at New Or
leans. Interest on the long side OF
the market is at a very low ebb and
moderate selling orders are sufficient
to forced values lower.
At New York the opening was at an
advance over the close for Saturday,
while New Orleans was a point or
two off. Prices gradually worked
ed lower, though at one time New
York rallied few points. In the af-
ternoon both markets eased off fur
Their. the close being not far from the
bottom Weather continued perfect
and there was no bullish news in the
market. Liverpool was 10 points lower
for spots and 3 to 8 points lower
for futures, the near positions suf-
fering most. The receipts at ports
were: Savannah 1880; New Or
leans 1926; Galveston 9,141.
In the Americas spot markets
prices took a slump of IA of cent,
with buyers even bidding (, further
reduction of 1-16 Of a cent. The
receipts for the day were 299 bales
and a part of this was sold on the
basis of 10 rs cents for good mid
ding. The majority Of the holders
were expecting better prices and let
their cotton remain unsold. Spots
at New York were Is points down
from Saturday with New Orleans un-
changed at II 3-S for middling.

COUNTY DISPENSARY
VERSUS PROHIBITION
Most Absorbing Topic in
Palmetto State.

COLUMBIA, S. c., October Ill
(SpeciaD 1.-The most absorbing politi-
cal topic in this state just as this
time is whether the coming legisla-
ture will abolish the county dispen-
sary system and vote the state dry
throughout, this even overshadowing
the senatorial race.
Now the belief seems to prevail gen.
orally viii vote with them there is
lature succeeding this will enact
state prohibition law
That some of the state dispensary
it's lost their last chance to get pro-
no reason to doubt. Among others
Dispensary Leader John R. Richards
has announced his intention of joining
with the prohibitionists. There is
no way of telling accurately how
many of the state dispensary members
will vote with the prohibitionists, but
there is good reason to believe that
majority of them will vote to sustain
the county option scheme.
The contrary view to that Of the
prohibitionists is taken by promin-
ent Columbia attorney, who says:
I'm my judgment the prohibition
hibition last session, so aar as the
hibition las session, so far as the
present legislature is concerned
when they refused to join forces with
the state dispensary people. The
talk about fear of the dispensary peo-
pie throwing down the prohibitionists
in the senate and thus continuing the
state dispensary system is all bosh.
The prohibitionists had an easy
victory In their hands If they had had
judgment enough to use it.
The state dispensary people will
not vote with them again as whole,
and, in my opinion, prohibition will
be defeated in the legislature next
spring by bigger majority than for
ten years

NEW YORK, October 21.-Liverpool
was steady enough to satisfy all, and
for time it looked as if there would
be a revival in the market. Support
ing orders came out. When orders
come in, and they come only all too
seldom they read to sell and sell more
on every advance
Cotton is losing friends daily, and
there is no telling just when there
will be a revival of speculative in
terests on the long side. At the mo-
ment everything and everybody is
against the market. The old guard
in New Orleans have surrendered and
laid down those automatic guns
which carried so many notches on
the barrels; each notch representing
bear. The crop of cubs this year
is unusually large, while the search
ty of good grass in the spring left
the calf crop a lot of weaklings. I'm
til confidence is restored and active
speculation enters the market we
cannot advise overlooking on the long
side unless the Notifications are
banked with gold.
