HOLD SPOT COTTON
For the Minimum Price, Which is
n Set at Fifteen Cents.

Editors Keowee Courier: Some
sixty days ago we were told that
cotton was going to eight cents per
pound, We were told this by some
of our leading business men and
cotton buyers of our cities. and they
did finally scare some OF our farmers
and managed to get them to sell
some at ten cents per pound. Now,
let's see what 1t is selling for-all
the way from 12 to 121s cents per
pound 1t behooves us to inyesti-
gate the cause of this rise Of ten dol
lars per bale. Is It that trade condf-
tfons are SO much better, or is it
that the holding of 1t OFF of the mar
ket Is the cause? Surely the blind
man can see the cause.
According to the bsst estimates
obtainable the requirements of the
mills this year will be greater than
the supply o. acceptable grades of
cotton, hence there should be no
rear OF surplus to embarrass the
marketing of the balance of this
years crop. On the other hand 1t is
now generally conceded that after
the shortage of last years crop of
$4,000 bales, that the world
would need a big crop this year to
supply the demand. A bumper crop
cannot be expected this year because
the acreage has been reduced and
the crop lis poor stand, and excess
sive rains have fallen In the West,
the season is late, and there are a
dozen other unfavorable conditions.
1t is impossible that large crop can
be made with these conditions, and
so there Is no need to fear the alarm
ing predictions of the cotton buyers
and their allies that cotton cannot go
higher. want to tell you that the
very thing that has advanced 1t ten
dollars bale In the last thirty days
will still, IL applied, make 1t bring
the minimum price-15 cents.
Now, what is the remedy? Hold,
hold, hold spot cotton and always
remember futures cannot be spun.
Spot cotton is selling right here in
South Carolina for the same price
spots are selling in; New York, and
we all know 1t takes about one cent
per pound to carry cotton to New
York and sell 1t. This shows the
conditions at home demand 1t for
the mills. This should stimulate
every holder of spot cotton to hold
for the minimum price 1t Is not
too late to plant corn. You can
plant DIP to the 10th of July. Plant
an early variety, manure and work
we'll. 1t will handsomely pay you
for your work. Corn is now selling
for $1.10 cash per bushel and $1.35
on time. Remember that well-filled
corn cribs and smoke houses will
always make cotton bring the mini
mum price fixed by the producer
the only one who has right to put
price upon his product.

Labor is Cheap.

"Western China differs from the

FINAL DECREE IN
MANCHUR|A CASE

Judge Dole yesterday signed decree
in the Manchuria case. The decree
awards $62,636.SO to the Restorer, in
cluding interest, for her work in sal
wing the Manchuria, when the latter
was on Waimanalo reef two years ago,
including the expenses of operation dur
ing the time that the Restorer was
at work on the stranded vessel.
Judge Dole in an oral decision held
that interest on the award should be
allowed from the time the decision
making the award was given and not
from the time of the entry of the de-
cree as the delay was no fault of the
libelant. This interest amounted to
$96652, which with the original award
of $62, 64O.2s makes the $62, 636S 80
named in the decree.
1t is thought probable that an appeal
will be taken from Judge Dole's decree.

Low VITALITY
A Dangerous Attendant Symptom Of
e Anaemia.
Many Serious Disorders May Result
From Impoverished Blood but DR..
williams Pink Pills Prevent
and Cure Them.

Besides the thinning of the blood in
anaemia there is low vitality which is
a matter for serious consideration be-.
cause 1t gives opportunityfor any latent
trouble to develop. Thus, anaemic
(bloodless) people often have reason to
fear consumption, and the blood failing
to give proper nourishment to the
nerves, debility, neuralgia, and even
some form of paralysis may result.
Mrs. r. l.. Harrod, of Alb South Ohio
avenue, Muncie, Ind, recommends DR..
Williams Pink Pills because they re-
stored her to health when all other
medicines failed. Fifteen years ago, -
she says, ''when was living at Belle.
fontaine, Ohio, l was suffering with
anaemia. l was pale and had wax
like color and was so short of breath
that couldn't go up stairs without
stopping to rest or couldn't stand the
least little exertion. l was run down
and very thin, didn't feel like eating
and didn t want to talk to or see any
one. My heart would palpitate so that
would feel weak. couldn't sleep
well, coughed constantly and had pains
under my shoulders. l was so miserable
that L wanted to die.
'The doctors told me that my blood
was turning into water, and that L was
going into decline and asked me il
there had been any consumption in my
family. They didn t help me at all and
i had read so much about DIR. Williams
Pink Pills that decided to try box
of them. They helped me so much that
gave up all other medicine and pinned
my faith to them alone. took several
boxes and in a few weeks was com
pletely restored to health. / became
strong and healthy and was able to
work again. l know DR.. Williams
Pink Pills saved my life and ! heartily
recommend them"
A helpful booklet "Disease of the
Blood" giving more information about
anaemia will be sent free upon request.
If you are suffering from impoverished
blood you cannot afford to wait another
day before giving DIR. Williams Pink
Pills thorough trial. They are for
sale by all druggists, or will be sent,
postpaid, on receipt of price, so cents

MAUI WANTS TO
PLAY CRICKET

The Maui cricket trip is not yet def

secretary of the club on the other
island that the players there are anx-
ious to have the Honolulu team visit
them, and will do all in their power
to make the matter easily arranged.
More than enough players have sig
nified their willingness to make the
trip, and there will be no difficulty at
this end. The Maui players need some
practise, and they will get this in good
time before the match, as the local
players have promised to ship them
over a consignment of bats and balls
for their use before the match.

MARATHON RACE
FOR OAKLAND

SAN FRANCISCO, October 2.-The
Century Athletic Club of Oakland will
hold Marathon race on Thanksgiving
Day, and the event is likely to prove
the greatest long distance running af-
fair ever pulled off on the Coast. The
announcement was made some time ago
that the course would be from Fruit
vale through Redwood Canyon and Cas-
tro Valley to Haywards, but at meet
ing of the club, held last night in Oak
land, it was decided that this course
would not be a good one, as the roads
were liable to be muddy on the day of
the race.
The club finally decided to hold the
race over an eighteen-mile course
which will start at Melrose Station,
go out the country road to Haywards
and then return over the new boule-
ward to Fruitvale and finish in front
of the Fremont High School. The
course is almost entirely level, and
the roads over which the runners will
travel are fine thoroughfares and are
certain to be in good condition, no mat
ter what the weather conditions are at
the time Of the contest.
The Centurys will offer a silver bar
for each contestant who covers the
course, and there win be prizes in the
proportion of one to each of four COM
petitors.
