How Time Does Change Matters

Mr. Editor: AS we have al
ways believed that all evils will
adjust themselves if you give
them time. So your editorial or
comment on the piece yol, con
led from the Pennsylvania Grit
and written by one Mr.. j. w.
Kincaid of Texas, expressing
himself as an ex- Union soldier
in regard to the love and respect
he has for the Confederate SOL
dier, and his suggestion to final
~ unite our country and break
down all sectional strife and be
one united country, is good; and
y. w. Kincaid is not the only
ex- Union soldier who has cx
pressed himself to give the Con
faderatn soldier what is Justly
due him. And as for the tax of
$1,000 on every bale of cotton
taken from us unlawfully after
the war: 1t was made mostly
by the old soldiers and widows
of the men who were killed and
their orphan children. How of
ten it has been seen, old one
arm and onc-lcggcd Confeder
ate soldiers tugging away try
ing to plow and hoe to make an
honest living, for it was the only
source they had. Then for it to
be taken away from them by
unlawful means, and piled up
in the treasury Of the richest
nations Of the world. 1t is a
wonder that a nation that pre-
tends to be honest could stand
for such, knowing the injustice
of such matters.
Yes, let us call upon our rep
rcscntatives in congress to have
this money proratcd to each
Southern state that made this
cotton, and let it be paid back
as far as possible to the ones
who made it. Some have sug-
gcsted that it be applied for edu-
cational purposes. I say i'm the
name of all honesty if this mon
ey should be paid back to the
cotton states, let the old Confed-
crate soldiers and their widows
have it. And as far as South
Carolina is concerned, she has
comparatiy ely done nothing as
yet for her old heroes who have
sustained and maintained the
homes Of their state at all times
when thev have been called
upon to DO so. But we hope the
time is not far distant when
South Carolina will come to the
front in caring for her old sol
diers and pay them what she
owes them. And is it not our
duty. old comrades, not to elect
any more tight wads to the leg
islature? 3. G. Johnson

Crops are looking fine in this
section of the country, and if no
disaster should come this way
there will be enough made to
pay for the fertilizer and some
left to pay taxes and the preach
er. You know the preacher is
alw ays the last to pay with
some folks.
1t seems that Progressive likes
these big dinners and asks

There is white man in the
Peters Creek section who goes
about begging something to eat.
He has been seen about a week.
The last seen Of him to know
that he is the same man was
last Sunday morning at S. E.
Robinson's S asking for something
to eat. On Monday night after
he was seen on Sunday, some
man was seen at j. r. Fosters
and Mr.. Foster shot at him.
We do not know whether it is
the same man or not as it was
in the night. The man has red
complexion, is about six feet
tall and will weigh about 165
pounds. He is dirty and ragged
and looks to be about 35 or ~
years of age. He looks to be a
fool to see him, but HOWE Single
ton had a conversation with
him and says he has an educa-
tion from the way he talks.
He says he is a drunkard and
has been all his life. The mys-
terry is he won't tell anyone his
name and no one knows who
he is. Some think he has done
some great crime some where
and has escaped. The women
of this section are all scared of
him. The sheriff should look
after such men and find out
their name. The man has got
a pistol. Johnnie on the-spot.

Hon G. A. Power, Of Laurens,

who spoke on the history of the
order and who gave some good
points. Mr.. McCravey seemed
in his glory as he was among
his friends and both Messrs.
Cooper and Power are old
friends of his, all being Laurcns
county bows.
The Easley Mill Band furnish
ed music for the occasion which
added much to the pleasure Of
the day. After the morning
program Gross Roads picnic
dinner was served on a long
table in the grove. This picnic
will long be remembered by the
| w. O. w. and every one else
who had the good fortune to be
there.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 21.-(Specia)-The
government ginning report of 10, i34. 3S7
bales was slightly larger than expected
causing a break on the opening. Excel
lent demand from our spinners and
Europe absorbed the selling caused by
the large report.
In the afternoon spinners' taking were
only slightly under last year. This
brought further buying as 1t is felt that
the prevailing prices with good weather
should have brought more cotton forward
and would tend to Indicate a larger per-
centage ginned to date than usual.
While sentiment is generally still against
the market this spinning demand at pre-
vailing prices should be due considera-
ton 1t would seem to us that any fur
ther decline would increase this demand
so that 1t is unwise to look for lower
prices. We believe that the gradual fall
ing off In receipts will now begin to have
material influence on prices.
Liverpool is due tomorrow to 3 points
advance.

COTTON BECOMES
FIRM ON REPORTS
Advance 4 to 6 Points Fol
lowing Rumors Spinners
Were Calling Cotton

New York, November 2l.-After an early
break on a bearish view of ginning re-
turns to November IA. the cotton market
became firm on reports that spinners were
calling cotton very freely, bullish week
end figures and covering for over the week
end. January contracts, which had sold
at 12S6c early rallied to 130Sc and the
general market closed firm at a net ad-
vance of to points
The opening was easy at a decline of
IA to 16 points, with active months selling
about 60 points under the high level of
last week as a result of heavy general
liquidation. Cables were about as due,
but the census report, showing 10,434,3S
bales ginned to November IA, proved
slightly heavier than expected and indi-
Gated the largest ginning for the first half
of November on record with the exception
of 1906 Stop orders were uncovered on
the initial decline, and there was prob
ably considerable selling on a theory
that ginning returns strengthened the
larger estimate of the crop. but offerings
were readily absorbed and the market
soon turned firmer.
Numerous reports from the south.
claiming that the crop had been nearly
picked and ginned in many sections and
reports of a better foreign demand for
spots In the eastern belt, helped the ad-
vance, while much of the buying here
came from trade sources and was sup
posed to be for the account of spinners
fixing prices. The support of this sort
combined with the continued heavy spin
ners' takings as shown by the weekly
figures probably increased the disposi-
tion of recent sellers to take profits for
over the week end and the market closed
within a point of the best.
