SENATOR GEORGE C. PERKINS TO RETIRE

The announcement few days ago
by Senator George c. Perkins that
he will retire from public life brings
to its close remarkable career.
Born on a little, farm near Kenne-
bunkport, Me-, Mr. Perkins ran away
from home when he was about 13
years old. He took to the sea, as a
Maine boy naturally would, shipping
as cabin boy on a ship at New Or
leans and sailed the seas. In 1855
he shipped before the mast on the
good ship Galatea, and sailing round
the Horn, eventually landed in San
francisco. Here the gold fever
seized him and he abandoned the
sea for the mining camps. Fortune
frowned for many a year. and he was
glad to find work of any kind to earn
his bread. He was a teamster a
miner, storekeeper in rough mining
camps, anything indeed that came to
hand. At last he accumulated enough
money to own his own team and he
became boss freighter

HIGHER PRICES EXPECTED.
President Dabbs Urges Cotton Raisers
to Hold their Product for Higher
Prices. Believe in Is Cent Cotton.

Columbia, S. c., Sept 27.-E. w.
Dabbs, president Of the South Caro-
lima State Farmers Union has issued
statement to the members In which
he says that with the proper co-opera-
ton that 10 cents per pound will be
secured for two-thirds of the present
cotton crop
Never before that / can recall"
says President Dabbs have we had
better prospects of good prices for
cotton. Sixty days ago cotton sold at
is IL cents per pound at interior
points. All OF sudden without
rhyme or reason the market broke
and 1t continued to do down until
10 IL cents was reached in the local
markets. Not having the desired eT-
feet OF stampeding the farmers like Il
mas IN the past we see 1t steadily go
ing up. Each day the 'wiseacres say
1t will break tomorrow. Each day
they say Liverpool should come down
3 or points. Each day see the re-
port that Manchester continues to
buy at higher prices than can be paid
on this side. What does 1t all mean?
If 1t means anything 1t means that
cotton is in demand; that organiza-
tion Is telling, or that there is fear
OF 1t; that the farmers, the merchants
and the bankers need but to pull to-
gether and we will see 15 cent cotton
for two-thirds OF this crop. 1t also
means that they are working together
more closely than ever before. Mar
ket slowly and the price is ours"
