Local Cotton Market
Shows Much Activity
Large s.Iss already reported within 'Aert time

More activity than has been
manifested in years is shown this
season in the local cotton market.
Last week cotton began coming in
here very actively, and it is now
arriving daily and rapidly swelling
the big receipts already shown for
the first few days Of the season.
Though the local warehouse has
been open some time, the seasons
activity has just set in well.
Although few scattering bales
had been received earlier, the real
tide of cotton began flowing in last
week. In two days, last Friday and
Saturday, a total Of nearly a hun
bred bales was received. The local
warehousemen had their hands full
those days handling the rapidly ar
irving bales. which are only be-
ginning to come in.
This week the bales Of cotton
have been coming in steadily every
day. The receipts already are ahead
by good margin Of those last sea-
son. The indications are now that
the total business for the season will
far surpass anything ever accom-
plished here in the handling Of
cotton. The people Of Lee county
are keeping their cotton within their
own county this year, and they are
being we'll pleased with the sales
made here.
The bidding for cotton is spirited
There is active competition for the
cotton that is offered for sale, and
this always gives the farmer the
best prices for his cotton. Last week
for several days the Leesburg cotton
market offered more for cotton than
any market in this section, while
the price is always upwith the best.
This excellent competition shows
that the season here will be not only
an active one but a most success
full one for all concerned.

Why You Should Advertise.

The things thatlive are the things
that are we'll advertised. The
thoughts that abide are those that
are strongly maintained, ably de-
Tended, well expressed.
The world accepts man or an
institution at the estimate it places
on itself. To let the rogues and
fools expound and explain you to
the multitude, and you yourself
made-no sign, and allow the false
hood to pass as current coin.
And soon it becomes legal tender
According to the common law Of
England a path across your proper
ty once used by the people is theirs
for all time.
In America millions Of dollars are
now being expended by certains sue.
cessful firms and corporations to
correct wrong impression that has
been allowed to get a foothold in
the public mind concerning them.
Just remember this: is not the
thing itself that liyes: it is what is
said about it. Your competitors, the
disgruntled ones, are busy The time
to correct lie is when it is uttered
So the moral is. You must advertise
no matter how successful you are.
You must advertise, wisely and
discreetly, 50 as to create public
opinion that is favorable to you.
To hold the old customers, you
must get out after the new.
When you think you are big en-
ough, there is lime in the bones of
the boss, and a noise like a bucoan-
eer is heard in the ofiing.
The reputation that endures, or
the institution that lasts. is the one
that is properly advertised.

authorities are planning 70 repair
this highway between Leesbure and
the Sumter county line.
With its excellent roads and it's
many steel bridges, even though the
securing Of these has been heavy
burden to the county, the people Of
Lee have one Of the greatest draw
ing cards that an attractive county
can offer to white immigrants
and to other settlers. No county in
the state has greater variety Of
soils, excellent lands, too, than Lee
county. / am pleased to see the
growth Of Lee county, and the

What every dealer needs in this world is. first, to
have people know what he has for SALE and second to
be able to get and to those that want it at airprice
The great distributor Of goods is and should be the
local merchant.
And the great salesman Of the United States should
be the country editor the who alone reaches the
substantial solid population Of The country and Of the
small towns.
The editor who can reach thousand or five hundred
of the dwelers in villages and in the county should be
worth more as a salesman, properly used, than any
other in the United States.
And in proportion to its circulation has newspaper

the United States.
