rector and athletic coach at the state
College. but the summer months arc
close at hand and already independ-
ent teams all over the State have Of

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR COTTON
Head of State Farmers Union Pre-
diets Is Cent Price for Crop.

Columbia, Sept. 26.-The follow
ing statement has been issued by
President Dabbs, Of the State Farm
ers' Union:
To the Farmers of South Carolina:
Never before that / can recall have
We had better prospects Of good prices
for cotton. Sixty days ago cotton
sold at 13 1-2 cents at interior points.
All Of a sudden, without rhyme or
reason" the market broke and it
continued to go down until 10 1-2
cents was reached in the local mar
kets. Not having the desired effect Of
stampeding the farmers like it has in
the past, we see it steadily going up.
Each day the "wise-acres' say it will
break tomorrow. Each day they say
Liverpool should come down six or
seven points. Each day sees the re-
port that Manchester continues 10 buy
at higher prices than can be paid on
this side. What does it all mean?
If it means anything it means that
cotton is in demand; that organiza-
ton is telling, or that there is fear of
it; 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 togeth-
er more closely than ever before
Market slowly and the price is ours.
We rejoice in the activity display
ed in organizing Chambers of Com
merce in the towns and cities Of the
South. We rejoice in such boosters
trips as Richmond, Va, just pulled off
and as Sumter will pull off in a few
months. We rejoice at the hopeful
letters from the various counties of
south Carolina that look to thorough
organization of the Farmers Union in
them. Yes, we will organize. When
each county has it's strong Farmers
Union and each town its aggressive
Chamber of Commerce all working in
harmony, then we will see a State
, Farmers Union and a state Chamber
: Of Commerce building greater
South Carolina
f.. w. Dabbs,
President South Carolina Farmers
Union.
