COTTON SALES RECORD BROKEN
Five Hundred Ninety-Onc Bales
Sold on Local Market During
Month of August.

Sumter has broken all previous
records for sales OF cotton dur
ing the month Of August. Up to
September 1st, 591 bales of new cot
ton had been sold on the local mar
ket' the nearest approach to this in
previous years is 4SO bales last sea-
son.
Despite the low price Of cotton the
farmers are bringing it in as fast
as they can pick it out and it is
probable that great deal
more cotton would have been
marketed had it not been for
the recent heavy rains which have
prevented many Of the farmers from
picking out cotton this week. The
price of cotton after the first bale
was sold TO O'Donnel & Company
for something over II cents. has
ranged from 11:45 to 1856.
Most of the cotton which is COM
ing is bel & shipped as fast as
II is sold TO the buyers for cotton
dealers. but a small part is being
stored I'm the warehouse to be held
until the price is better for the sell
lers than it is at present.

Everything Tending Southwark.

In the financial circles Of New
York and New England there is
growing sentiment that the South is
10 be the center Of the greatest busi-
ness and financial activity of the
county Of the country. The leading
bankers of the East, many Of whom
IN former years were somewhat
skeptical about the South as q field
Tor investment, are now very free in
admitting that this section is the
most inviting field for investment.
The change Of sentiment is very pro-
nounced. No one can mingle with
the financial people Of New York and
Boston and other Eastern centers. as
we'll as with those in the smaller
cities of the Middle and New England
States, without being greatly impress
ed with the unanimity of sentiment
as to the great prosperity ahead of
the South. In portions of the West
this sentiment is equally as pro-
hounced. The men who led in the
great colonization enterprises of the
West and the Pacific Coast are now
finding in the South a field for ac-
uVity which is claiming their atten-
ton as never before. Scarcely a
day passes without a report Of The
sale of some big tract Of land to
Western people for colonization. or
for reclamation, in order to prepare
II for colonization work later. No
phase of Southern development in
the last decade has been more strik-
ing than that which we now see i'm
the purchase Of large tracts Of land
in all portions Of the South for set
tlemeAt by Western people IT is one
Of the most interesting phases of
American development. 1t means
the utilization Of millions Of acres OF
land that have heretofore been prac-
tically valueless and the bringing into
the South Of tens Of thousands of the
better class Of farmers from other
sections. =. ...r. ~rg~
AS the financial people of the East
and the colonization men Of the West
are looking to the South as the COM
ing center OF operations. so the man.
ufacturers and the contractors and
the builders Of the whole country are
beginning to understand that this
section is To offer the broadest field
Tor activity in the country. Here
great forces are concentrating for in
dustrial upbuilding which will re-
suit in an enormous expansion of the
manufacturing and mining and rail-
road interests Of the South. Even
now the sixteen Southern States COW

We stated last week. have invested in
manufacturing $2OO.O0O.OOO more
than the total capital invested in
manufacturing in the United States
in 1880. Understanding this as

recognized that the South's indus

The Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. is sur
veying for a new slope to be sunk to
connect with shaft No. l at Rockvale,
near Florence, Colo. The slope will be
between 500 and 900 feet in length and
in order to connect with the present
working will necessitate an incline of
about % degrees. The object of the
new slope is to furnish an exit for min
ers in case of an explosion or other
trouble, and the mules will be taken
from the mine each night, thus doing
away with the danger of maintaining
stables in the mine. The improvement
is one of the recommendations as re-
suit of the recent visit of the commission
sent out by Governor Shafroth to investi-
gate conditions of coal mines in Colorado.
