Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Dec 2o.-The cotton
market broke into low ground for the
movement this morning under gen.
eral and more or less excited selling,
which was obviously inspired by the
census report showing 12,e23000 bales
ginned to December 10 Local sta
tisticians claimed that this figure sug-
gested a crop considerably In excess
of the governments recent forecast,
and after opening easy at a decline
of II to 20 points. the market sold %
to 25 points net lower during the
early trading. This break carried
January cotton off to 12c. or Sc per
bale under the high price touched
just after the publication OF the gov
ernment's crop estimate last week.
There was a good deal of realizing
by recent sellers and some trade
buying on the decline. but the talk
az ound the ring. as well as the early
action OF prices. indicated Increased
confidence In the more optimistic
view of the Yield.

III Killed in New York by
Autos in Eleven Months

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Coroners'
figures show that the number OF
deaths In this city caused by auto
mobiles has risen from thirty seven
in 1907 to III for eleven months of
1918. Secretary of State Mitchell May.
who hns made a study of these fig
ures, declares that while the increas-
ing number of automobiles is partly
responsible for the increase in acci-
dents. pedestrians are also largely to
blame.
He favors more rigid examination
OF persons licensed to drive motor
cars and recommends the creation of
a special bureau for the prevention of
street accidents. 1t is also suggested
that all automobile drivers be finger
printed"

Taft Defends Army Dirty
Which Wilson Condemned
as Calling TO Filipinos

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-While not
uttering an absolute defense OF the
officers OF the army who incurred
President Wilson's displeasure at a
dinner of the military order of Cara
bao in Washington recently, when
they sang a ditty on army life in the
Philippine Islands, Professor William
H. Taft last evening said that the
spirit Of the song could not be con-
strued as indicative OF the attitude
of the army of today.
Professor Taft spoke In the role OF
presiding officer at dinner rendered
at the Plaza Hotel by the Philippine
Society and the Harmony Club OF
America to w. Cameron Forbes, who
retired recently from the governor
generalship of the islands.
From the tenor OF his remarks the
one-time President appeared inclined
to treat the singing of old campaign
songs, such as the one to which Pres
ident Wilson took umbrage, with
much indulgence. He said he had at
tended two dinners OF the order OF
the Carabao, and as a specimen of
dittles which he had heard from army
officers In his presence he repeated
the following, which had been written
about "our little brown BROTHER
"He may be brother Of William II.
Taft.
But he amt no brother o. mine "
1.-THE feelings which the men as
signed to field service In the Philip
pines harbored toward the natives
who served and were employed by
them in the daytime, and retired after
dar to the bush. from where they
discharged firearms at the soldiers,
could not naturally be devotional"
said Professor Taft
ut is true" he continued, that
some of the songs sung away over
here are not of character quite fit
ted to soothe. but they are sung in
the same way that a court makes an
entry-nunc pro tune"

Fifteen Cent Cotton

We were happily surprised
Tuesday afternoon in meeting
our old-time friend and highly
esteemed co-laborer in the moral,
social and commercial up-lift.
Mr.. George Wilson. Mr.. Wilson
is a member Of both the Board
of Directors and Executive Com
mittee of the Southern States
Cotton Corporation. and came to
Elgin to address the citizens Of
this community on the subject
of and prospects for fifteen cent
cotton. He is thoroughly posted
and qualified to present every
detail Of the principles, methods.
objects and expectations of the
organization. In his address
here he laid the foundation of
his speech firmly upon the solid
granite Of moral justice and COM
mercial equity, and then placed
thereon. one on top Of another,
adamantine blocks Of business
sense. cementing them all to-
gether with unanswerable logic
until the whole structure was
30 solid as to be absolutely proof
against the cyclones and earth
auakes of opposition from Wall
Street spectators. And then,
on top of it all, he inscribed the
banner, in letters of intellectual
light. Herein is the Salvation
of the Farmers in all Cotton
growing States.
We regret that every farmer
and business man in this part Of
the county did not hear Mr..
Wilson's masterful and unan-
swerable address. as we are sure
they would now agree with what
the editor of the FARMERS
CHAMPION has been telling
them about this movement and
prospective fifteen cent cotton.
Space forbids saying more at
this time. but we will have more
to say in future issues of the
CHAMPION on this all import
ant subject.

JOHNSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.

Johnsonville, April 2S::-We, the
members of the Excelsior Literary
society, met on Friday, April sand
held our last meeting for this month.
The programme consisted of essays.
declamations, readings, current
events and music. We had some
very interesting and well rendered
selections, which were a credit to the
society, as a whole, as we'll as to the
individual performers. The work
of our society, though very good be-
fore, has improved during this term.
All of the members have loyalty up
held the constitution and adhered to
it's bylaws.
The work in the other branches of
the school is also good. We do not
allow our interest in our studies to
relax as the school draws near its
close, although we have worked long
and hard; but we are striving to keep
up our good record to the end. We
owe this determination in a great
measure to the kind help and en-
couragement of our teachers.
Our school participated in the ath-
letic and oratorical contests held at
Kingstree on April 18. All of the
high schools in the county took part
and every school won share in the
honors of the day. We are proud
of the fact that Johnsonville came
second in the high jump, which was
one of the most important features
of the athletic contest. Triz Cock
field, of this school, lacked only sew
eral inches of equaling the jump,
which broke the high school record.
We are proud of the Johnsonville
pupils in any crowd, and are not
afraid to contest with the other
schools of the county in any line.
Though we may be defeated in some
things, we are never discouraged,
but are always ready to try again;
for we know that perseverance will
bring success to anyone.
The music recital and oratorical
contest given April IA and Is, re-
spectively, will probably be the last
of our school entertainments for this
term. For the few remaining weeks
we will employ our spare time in
practicing the exercises for COM
mencement.
Our graduating class for this year
is the largest we have ever had, and
the people of the community expect
great things of the members of this

KINGSTREE HIGH and
GRADED SCHOOL NOTES.

The track meet of the State Ora
torical and Athletic association was
held in Columbia, Thursday and Fri
day of last week. The Kingstree
High school was ably represented by
Casper Holroyd, Roy Baker, Earle
Cook, Cuyler Harper and Alex Blake
ley. The boys were in charge of Mr.
Raymond Holroyd and were accom-
panied by several of their school
mates and friends. More than a
hundred boys took part in the meet,
representing Is schools. A preliml-
nary contest was held for several of
the athletic events and 81 boys took
part in the finals, 4 of whom belong
ed to Kingstree. In this prelimina-
ry, Holroyd won second place in the
hurdle race, 80 boys taking part;
twenty-five boys took part in the shot
throw and Cook won first place.
Harper won the high jump against
6 boys and the hurdle race against
S. In the final contest our school
won only point, but when the num-
ber o. boys contesting is considered
and the fact that so many schools
won nothing at all, we feel that we
have nothing of which to be ashamed.
Harper was our winner in this, COM
ing third in hurdle race against IS
boys and fourth in the broad jump.
Baker came fourth in a half mile
race, 36 boys contesting, and Cook
fourth in the shot throw against Is
boys. We consider that all Of our
boys did we'll and the school is not
only satisfied with them, but Justly
proud of them. The boys were most
