FARMERS URGED
TO HOLD COTTON
Address Issued by Organization of
Sumter COunty-Higher Price Is
Wo


In an address issued to the farm
ers of South Carolina a committee
of the Sumter County Farmers union
urges the holding Of cotton until a
is prepared by a committee consisting
of e. w. Dabbs, president of the State
Farmers union, and j. NJ. Brogdon
and S. N. Wclch.
1t is as follows:
ITO the farmers and all the bust
ness interests that are affected by
the price of cotton:
THE Sumter County Farmers un-
ion at its last meeting unanimously
directed us as committee to call
your attention to the serious condi-
ton that confronts us in the outlook
for low prices for this crop of cotton.
Thirty or forty days ago cotton sold
in Sumter for Is 1-2 cents (spoO
Today holder who would not then
sell was glad to get 1912 cents.
These are actual sales What has
brought about such slump in this
short time after cotton had held
steady for nine or ten months at IA
to Is cents? They say because there
is prospect of over 100000 bales.
Is 1t not more because the world,
judging by the past, thinks it can
stampede the farmers and the mer-
chants, and buy below 10 cents be-
fore Christmas. The men who are
predicting such prices are working
with might and main to bring about
1O-cents cotton by telling their farm
er friends that the crop is the larg-
est on record. You ought to sell as
fast as you can, for cotton is bound
to go lower Apparently not knowing
that this is the very way to bring
about lower level of prices.
"Now we have no quarrel with the
Northern and foreign spinner who
wants low-priced cotton. 1t is only a
part of his business to get the raw
material at the lowest possible price,
and it is also part OF his business to
sell his finished product at the high
est possible price. But how any
Southern men. even owners Of mill
stock, can wish to see low prices for
cotton, or can in any way give aid
and encouragement to the enemy by
Joining in the hue and cry that
prices are bound to go lower is past
our comprehension. Every business
man and every cotton mill in the
South is inevitably bound up in the
general prosperity of this section.
The Southern Mills.
If Southern mills would seek out
new markets for the manufactured
goods, and learn from the successes
of foreign mills to cater to the de-
mands of the worlds trade in the fa-
brics the world wants, put up in the
Kind of packages the world wants,
they could join hands with all the
business interests of the SoutE and
fix and maintain the highest possible
price for cotton and cotton goods
That the mills will not do this is
abundantly proven by the history of
recent years when our own mills kent
out of the market while the farmer
was falling over himself to sell his
cotton, and later paid more for their
stocks than the foreigners, with
freight and other charges added We
may expect the same thing to hap
pen this fall. Hence we leave the

crop can not make a half yield un-
der most favorable conditions. And
all Of it has to run the gauntlet of
excessive rains, If they ever start.
and Of the many insect pests, and cli-
matte changes that make late crop
so uncertain.
IN conclusion your committee
would urge, with all the insistence Of
calm and deliberate Judgment, that
every one who can do so hold his
cotton off the market either in his
own strength, or with the assistance
of his creditors and the banks. Pick
1t dry, gin 1t dry put the bales away
under shelter dry. And if you must
borrow money on it, do not borrow
more than % or 80 dollars bale and
for not less than six months. Thirty
day cotton loans and loans close up to
the market value are worse than SELL
ing outright. We call on all the
unions in the cotton belt to join us
in this fight. Shut down on cotton
now and for the next 60 days and the
fight is won. Paper contracts do not
run mills.
Yours for Southern prosperity

FAMOUS OLD BATH HOUSE.

One of the best-known places in the
old section of the town is the Old |
Famous Bath House, located at 1913
Cont street, which is presided over /
by Hon. Chas. Hantel as proprietor,
and A. Dorvin as manager. This |
place, which has been in existence for |
good many years, has given relief |
to dozens of people who have availed
themselves of the benefit derived by |
the different kinds of baths, such as
steam, Turkish, Russian, and sulphur
baths. The place is large enough to
give accommodation for fifty persons
at time without taxing its capacity.
A trip through this wonderful place is
more than interesting, from the fact
that it reveals to those not acquainted
with this class of treatment, why 1t Is
beneficial to patronize public institu-
ton of this kind. There are many
compartments in the place where one
may enjoy any temperature he de-
sires, from so degrees to as high as
he can stand, and there is every avail
able convenience offered, through at
tendants, to make these baths as near
ly perfect as possible. Everything is
clean and in sanitary condition, and
the place enjoys quite large patron
age from people on this side of the
river. Mr.. Hantel. who is we'll known
here, takes especial pride in showing
people from Algiers through here and
in catering to their wishes. In short
while an addition will be added for
the accommodation Of ladies, which
will be up-to-date and arranged like
all frst-class places are in the East
Special days will be set apart for the
ladies, also.

Restore Gray Hair
To Natural Color

The cid idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. our grandmothers used to
have dark. glossy hair at the age of
seventy five. while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. our
grandmothers used to make a sage
tea" and apply it TO their hair The
tea made their hair soft and glossy,
and gradually restored the natural
color
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble of making it,
especiallya as it had to be made every
two or three days, on account of sour
ing quickly This objection has been
overcome, and by asking almost any
ffrst-class druggist for Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy the public
can get a superior preparation or
sage, with the admixture of sulphur,
another valuable remedy for hair and
scalp troubles. Daily use of this
preparation will not only quickly re-
store the color of the hair, but will
also stop the hair from falling out and
make it grow.
Get bottle from your druggist to-
day. Use 1t and see for yourself how
quickly dandruff goes and gray hairs
vanish.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.
