We have it on good authority that
Walhalla this season is the best cot
ton market in the up-country. This
statement was made last week: Sen
rta iS better cotton market than
Anderson this year, and Walhalla is
Il little better than Seneca" There
is no reason why the Walhalla mar
kct should be anything but the best.
Cotton is worth as much here as any
where, and we believe IN the future
our producers will get always as
much. and sometimes more, for their
cotton than elsewhere. Give YOUR
home market first chance
