NEWS OF COPE.
Several Interesting Happenings Re-
corded by Resident.

Cope, Aug. 81 special-Since the
gale of Sunday so much rain has fal-
len, that business is almost at a
standstill. Parties who had any cot
ton picked out, are having same
ginned, but it is a hard matter to
keep same dry enough to gin as it al
most rains steadily. If this
spell lasts much longer cotton will be
badly damaged as sprouting will
soon set in. Cotton came in pretty
lively last week, one firm buying Al
bales in the last three days, but so
far this week the same firm has
bought eleven bales.
Mr.. j. H Cope is spending some
time in Spartanburg.
Mrs f. C. Carter and children are
off on a visit to Mrs. Carter's par
rents, in st. Stevens.

his clerkship with MT. Vernon Brab-
ham, and gone to Bamberg, where he
opens up a fancy grocery store of his
own. Mr.. Joe Mccormick of Bam-
berg, takes Mr.. Besinger's place
here.
Mr.. Frank Thomas and family of
Bellies Cross Roads, Colleton coun-

COTTON SEED IN CALHOUN.
Farmers Disguised Over Conditions
in That Market.

The St. Matthews correspondent Of
The News and Courier says: "The
rain storms have seriously damaged
the open cotton, which had begun to
be picked in dead ernest. 1t is esti-
mated that over a thousand bales are
now in the territory feeding this
market and 425 have been sold.
"The farmers are plainly disgusted
over the low price of cotton seed, 21
cents, but few are selling unless un-
der the thumb screws of some over
lord. The cotton seed traffic has
gotten to be driving business in
this section. 1t is rare to find even
good and successful farmer who
does not trade his seed for meal, as
they argue that the comparative val
ue is largely in favor Of the meal.
But there is no doubt about the fact
that the seed problem among the ne
gro tenants, of whom there are many
in this country has gotten to be
serious mater. Stacks of the seed
among these tenants are practically
bought long before the season opens
and they have got to sell at any price
fixed. They sell every
seed as fast as they get their hands
on it, and when planting time comes
around it is frequent occurrence to
find them without seed in the
world to plant their crop. Everybody
recognizes this state of affairs as a
great nuisance and detrimental to
the agricultural interests Of the
county, but there Is no remedy in
sight and it will probably go on from
bad to worse"
