witness great activity In every line
Of trade. Manufactures are running
to capacity and the output Is in de-
mand rather than a drag on the mar
ket. 1t seems then that the mills will
be able to take care of every bale rails
ed this year, whether crop is raised
In proportion to the acreage or not.
The Review, speaking of the cotton
market and crop conditions continues:
General dull conditions prevailed
in the cotton market this week and
while prices were somewhat irregu-
lar. and as a whole tended downward,
actual changes in quotations were very
slight. The most potent influence con-
tinued to be the weather conditions
throughout the belt, on the one hand,
and the unusually large receipts, on
the other. Reports from some dis
tricts were Of the probability of
frosts, but as they lid not materialize,
they had little effect, although as the
crop is conceded to be late and the
season is advancing, their possibility,
was an unsettling influence. The pre-
yailing uncertainty was accentuated
by reports Of coming labor troubles at
Manchester, but these were given lit
tie credence, in view of the excellent
trade conditions at that center. Large
sales by shorts were without much
effect, any weakness engendered there
by being offset by the continued good
spot buying by manufacturing inter-
ests. To sum up the situation, it ap-
pears as if the leading buyers are pur-
suing waiting attitude and deferring
operations until after the publication
of the government report to be issued
on October 2, which will impart to
the trade more information as to ac-
tual conditions At the same time
there are good many who have much
confidence in the future and they
claim that regardless OF the heavy
ture OF the report may be, they look
for higher prices. They point to the
prevailing activity in all textile man
ufacturing lines, both here and abroad
as confirmation of this belief and
claim that the worlds requirements
will insure a good consumptive de-
mand for this years crop, whether 1t
be large or small. This Is the under
lying element OF stability which sup
ports the market in the face OF those
influences tending toward lower pric-
es."
At this time no great amount of
work is being done to organize in the
south for higher prices. Pres. Dabbs,
of the State Farmers Union, and 9TH
ers are beginning to agitate the ques-
ton, but no definite plan has develop
ed Last years organization, we are
confident, was largely responsible for
the fair prices that some received lat
er in the season and we hope that an
other movement for cooperation and
organization will be gotten on foot.
Since the cotton is so much shorter
in this county than last year, it seems
to us that there is an imperative de-
mand that something be done to coun-
teract the inevitable effects Of low
prices and short crop. The cotton
crop of this county probably brought
on an average of 912 cents last year
1t will require an average OF at least
~ cents to bring an equal amount of
money into the county.

THE COTTON CROP.

FROM all reports and appearances 1t
seems that we are to have a short crop
of cotton this year. in this vicinity at
least. The acreage over the whole
south was reduced This year and while
1t has been said that in some states
the crop is In fairy good shape it
Is thought that this years crop will
fall short of last years by several
millions. At this time, Just at the
outset of the season. it seems to us
that 1t would be well for our farmers
to take a look at the situation and
judge for themselves whether they
should hold for higher prices or sell.
In regard to the general prosperity of
the country, which of course has a
great deal to do with the price that the
mills are able and willing to pay for
cotton, Dun's Review said this last
week:
Proof accumulates on every hand
OF developing national prosperity.

demand and are looking forward to a

LAURENs NEEDS A COLLEGE.

AAOhENS NEEDS COLLEGE.
The spirit of determination dis
played at the citizens meeting in the
court house Monday afternoon is
such as makes for progress. Such de-
termination can result in but one thing
and that is success. Laurens is de-
termlned to have a college and the
determination is three fourths the vic
tory
The air of cooperation and unanimi-
ty OF purpose as well as denomina-
tional unselfshness speaks we'll for
the town and those who have con-
tributed to its upbuilding and for
those who have offered to contribute
to the upbuilding of on edenomina-
tion's educational institution The
spirit is fine one and must and Will
bear fruit
AS several others have already said.
we are more than ever convinced that
Laurens can have and should have. a
successful college. That she can have
college is evidenced by the overflow
OF students in other institutions of the
state and the south and especially
those institutions patterned along the
lines contemplated for the future col
lege here. These institutions are full
to Overlooking and numbers have been
turned away. 1t is only necessary to
recall the newspaper reports OF sew
cral weeks ago to verify the state
ment that the schools are taxed to
their capacity. Though there is an
ever increasing number of students
at our colleges, the fact that our city
schools and rural schools are grow
ing with the same pace is proof posi-
tive that in the future still more edu-
cational facilities will be needed to
take care Of them. The future holds
out bright prospects of an ever in
creasing number of those who will ap-
ply to our colleges for higher educa-
tion. The parents, who only had a
smattering OF education in their child
hood and who possibly had more than
their fathers before them, are real
izing that their children must be ed
ucated to get the most out of life.

Tributes TO 4 GOOD CITIZEN
(Manatee River JournaD


James Anderson, "a resident of Terra
Celia for many years, died at the home
OF his daughter, Mrs. ]. II. Strunk, in
Ocala, Thursday, Nov, IA. He had not
been in good health for the past two
years and had spent some time recently
in travelling with the possibility of a
change being beneficial He was born
in Richmond, Va, in 1855 His wife
and son, John Edward Anderson, of
Terra Celia, and two daughters, Mrs.
Strunk and Mrs. Nash, of Ocala, sur
vive him.
He is mourned by many friends who
loved and respected him. He was al
ways ready to aid in any good work
that was for the upbuilding and pro-
gress Of the island, and by being ever
faithful at the bedside Of the sick, his
kindness and sympathy were shown in
many ways.
There were many words of praise
and sympathy spoken Sunday morn
ing by those present at the floral ser
vice held at the Terra Celia Union Sun
day school, and the mary beautiful
flowers and floral offerings by friends
and pupils of the Sunday school, from
the infant class to the Bible class,
was fitting tribute to the memory of
one who often expressed his apprecia-
ton of flowers, and his sentiment be
ing that flowers often give expression
Of good thoughts and sympathy where
words fail
He was a member of the Methodist
church, being steward for a number of
years, an honorary member of the W.
c. T. u, also a member of the Legion
of Honor.
Connected with the library and an
active worker in the Union Sunday
school, being superintendent for the
past nine years, his work as super
intendent is an example of his faithful
ness to duty, having attended Sunday
school for over seven years in success
sion without missing a Sunday, and
later on, ever failing health seldom
prevented him from being present. and
d. another bright star is added to his
crown of duties, faithfully done, and
this all seems to say:
Speak to thy children ever,
Lead in the holy way,
Fill them with joy and gladness.
Teach them to watch and pray"
