ence. failed to save Mr.. Gates. He
had battled for weeks heroically with

it was believed he was almost sure
to recover contracted pneumonia.

MURK OUTLINED FORReUNlON
Committee is Busy With PIans-Ap.
y probation VIII be Sufficient to
Entertain Veterans.

olumbia.-The local committees
are hard at work on arrangements
for the coming Confederate reunion

Brooks, and several of the members
went later TO confer with the Wade
Hampton and the NJ. c. Butler chap
ters, Daughters of the Confederacy,
meeting at the same time at the Y.
NJ. C. A.
The executive committee resolved
at its meeting that the $500 appro-
priated by the legislature be used for
the entertainment of the veterans ex-
clusively, and that they further de-
cided that the sum is sufficient for en-
tertaining the old soldiers no addi-
tional appropriation from the city
being necessary. The committee re-
peats the request that those Column
bians who expect to entertain any of
the veterans free or who are willing
to take them at moderate rate will
notify N. o. Pyles, head of the bu-
reau of information. Mr.. Pyles can
be reached through the general de-
livery, Columbia.
The committee were assured by the
women of the two chapters, U. D. c.,
of their hearty cooperation in the en-
tertainment of the veterans, and were
offered some practical suggestions by
the women. Several Of these sugges-
tions will doubtless be adopted, bring
ing about minor changes in the ar
rangements.
The committee decided that each of
the old veterans, before he can be
served to meals, must report to the
bureau of information, giving his
name and regiment. and receiving one
of the reunion badges. Meals are to
be served each day of the reunion.
Miss Adelaide Hood of Chester is
sponsor for the First brigade, South

Farmers Urged to Hold Cotton.

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
higher price is obtained. The address
is prepared by committee consisting
of E. w. Dabbs, president of the
State Farmers union, and j. NJ.
Brogdon and S. N. Welsh.
1t is as follows:
ITO the farmers and all the busi-
ness interests that are affected by
the price of cotton:
The Sumter County Farmers
union at its last meeting unanimously
directed us as a 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 IL cents (spot.
Now a 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 15 cents? They say because there
is prospect of over 100000 bales.
Is is 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-cent cotton by telling their farm
er friends that the crop is the larg'
est on record.
