CONVENTION,
IN SESSION At DAyTONA
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY,
ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
CONFERENCES OF THE D. A. r
++s.,ss. Ever HELD '1|7"+ STATE OF

One of the mof successful confer
! ences of the paq ehters of the Amer
lean Rev0luti$ ver h, held in Florida m
came to 0bse Thursday. The
meetings were presided over by Mrs
James NJ. Mahoney, State Regent.
The opening exercises included ar
Invocation by Rev. DR.. B. F. Marsh
the singing Of America by the audi
ence and the salute to the flag by
the u. A. Rs.
The regent of the hostess chapter
created a delightful. home-like feel
ing in the hearts of those present
by her cordial words of welcome.
The State Vice Regent. Mrs. r. X
Schuller, voiced the sentiment OF
the visiting daughters in accepting
the greetings extended by the Abb
gail bartholomew Chapter.
The members of the conference
were honored with letter of greet
ing from the President General OF
the National Society, Mrs. Matthew
r. Scott. as it was impossible for
her to bring in person the words OF
good cheer she wished to express.
The first act of the conference
was to appoint committee to send
telegram OF greeting to our honOred
President General, expressing the
appreciation of the delegates assem-
hn,. Ii
Tested interest.
The address OF the State Regent,
Mis-. Mahoney, Wednesday morning
was such as to inspire all daughters
to uphold the highest and best in
terests OF this society. 4 touch OF
sadness Was felt as she referred to
her closing term of office. and a rs-
ing vote OF appreciation of her faith
ful devotion was rendered the retir-
ing State Regent. During the ap-
plause that followed, magnificent
bunch of white carnations tied with
chapter colo,s was presented to
Mrs. Mahoney by the delegates from
jacksonville chapter.
During the conference visiting
daughters from many other states
were introduced, including officers
and members from Georgia, Mime
sofa. Ohio. Michigan, New Hampshire
New York, Wisconsin, West Virginia.
Massachusetts and Illinois.
From the speeches by these
guests from far and near, and the
very interesting reports read by the
chapter regents of Florida, the true
spirit OF this patriotic organization
is not on the wane. In Florida the
growth of the society is gratifying.
The State Regent reported 10 chap
ters with 200 members in the state.
During her official term she visited

ters were representa- at the confer

ANOTHER COTTON ESTIMATE.
Government Figures Seem To Point to
Greatest Cotton Yield In Country's
History.

Washington. Aug. 3.-With con-
unued assurances that the 191O-11
cotton crop OF the United States will
be the greatest yield in the history of
the countr.'. there is speculation as
TO total value Should the staple this
year sell ct the same price it did in
1910, the value Of the crop would be
approximately $1,000. .O63. 900, exceed
ing the record breaking cotton crop
value over last year by more than
s1so.OO0.OOO.
Further estimates today from the
governments official figure of S9.1
per cent of a normal for the condi-
ton Of the growing crop on July 20.
indicate that the crop will be 7,046,-
100000 pounds. or 14.741.641 bales
OF AIS pounds net weight. This
would surpass the record cotton pro-
duction of the year of 1909 by more
than 100000 bales.
IL the crop this year sells at 11.5
cents pound, the average price for
the last five years. it's value would
be about s20. 1000. 900 below last years
great value record.

TWO shares Of stock in the Gamers

pended in making the Ferry and
better approach on he Sumter

about mile of swamp is being
worked now by the county, and the
Sumter side for the present can only
be made passable by private subscrip-

but it is for the good of Richland and
