they did at the point OF a double

the beer on the bank Of the river
and proceeded to enjoy themselves.
Col. Cole, who is in command at

Keep to the Right.

Now that automobiles are becom-
ing more numerous in and around
Orangeburg, it would seem to be
Nighttime that measures were being
adopted to enforce proper road rules,
and to exact greater care upon the
part of pedestrians, bicycles and
drivers of vehicles, as well as upon
the automobiles themselves.
The City of Atlanta has recently
taken this matter in hand, and,
through the adoption of what is
known as the Grant ordinance" " has
prescribed road rules" that are con-
sidered wel-night perfect, and, GER
tainly, helpful to all concerned-au-
tomobilists and the public in gen.
eral.
The first and cardinal rule, under
this ordinance, is KEEP TO THE
RIGHT" And it is the one rule that
will avoid more trouble, whether
driving an automobile or other We
hicle, than any other. Whether go
ing or coming-keep to the RIGHT
The second rule is to keep to the
RIGHT when permitting another We
hicle to overtake you, which vehicle
should pass to the left Of the ve-
Licle overtaken. Rule six provides
that slow moving or standing We
hices must not only keep to the
RIGHT. but near the curb, so as TO
permit other vehicles to overtake or
pass them.
The Augusta Chronicle, from
which We get the above, says the
city of Atlanta thinks so we'll of the
Grant ordinance that it has issued
little booklet, which contains not
only a copy of the ordinance, but
number of illustrations, Showing just
how vehicles should be passed, cor
ners turned etc, and the Atlanta
city clerk, sends these booklets free
to anyone who asks for them.
Here are list of the donts that
apply TO OranseDurg which this lit
tie booklet prescribes, and they are

MARKET IS STEADY
LOCAL COTTON BRINGS GOOD AVER
 AGE PRICE.
Although New York Was Down, Littie Effect Was Felt Loeaiiy-bear- fsh Interests May Attack Ar
 ter Bureau Report Today.

Although the New York market was down a few points yesterday, there Was no noticeable effect on the local spot cotton market. The same prices were being offered as on the day before, and all the new staple Is being absorbed by the shippers. About twenty bales were released In the local cotton market yes, terday, the prices paid ranging around the l2 5-S and IF 3-S mark. A few bales were bought as low as IF l,4. but this was for only small lot The new crop is coming in rather sioWly. hundred bales of the new crop VIII De marketed in the city by Saturday night. The prices remained steady through out the day, although there was de- cline of few points. The usual IT,; quIdation before bureau day caused some uneasiness at times, altnough there Is a strong conviction that nigh rather general tip from the North that capital Is inclined to withdraw support during the period of big crop move ment caused some timidity In the New Orleans market.
 The Journal of Commerce reports Q condition of 66 against gal last month. showing average deterioration for the state that improved was North Caro-. lima. The prevailing opinion Is that bearish interests will attack the mar ket after the bureau report Is out ot the way. on the theory that these prices cannot be maintained during the Sep tember and October movement The bulls have entrenched, and a stubborn fight may be looked for around 12 cents.
 The market for october ruled steady, but was off 14 points from its close the day before. The quotations for Octo Der opened with a decline of i've points and closed with a decline of fourteen December prices opened with a decline Of three points and closed ten points off from the close the day before. The Liverpool market due three and one half to five and one-half lower, opened quiet but steady. three lower on nearer and four lower on late months. Later cables around noon reported the mar ket steady from three to four and one. half points higher. Spots were down five points with sales of 10000 bales.
 The weather map shows generally cloudy in Texas and good rains in North Texas and Oklahoma. Generally fair in the Central and Eastern States with a few light showers. Along the Atlantic coast precipitation was very heavy.

In fact there was business done during last Monday at all, hut at the open ing call of Tuesday, the London-Savannah Company came into the market and took all available offerings at 6hc, thereby leaving only the current days receipts on the market. At the last call of Tuesday the market closed firm at 56 14c but there was no transactions at this value at that time,
 The market opened last Wednesday, (Aug 25) firm at 55c. From that level 1t grad ually worked upward until 56hc was re- corded which was the highest and at which the article closed firm yesterday.
 The receipts for the past seven days were fully as lght as had been anticipated. Lon don, however, was only a purchaser spar for the week the great lack of purchasing g support from that center left portion of the meager arrivals uncared for until Tues day morning when the offerings were taken by the London-Savannah. So far as the domestic demand was concerned there was a little business in evidence but traders as a rule were seemingly more intent on securing pale rosins than to get turpentine.
 Rosins were firm throughout the week. A comparison of prices show and above lower than the Tuesday preceding; M to H practically stationary and G and below on an average of Sc higher
