WHEN THE CATS AWAY. ETC.
The absence OF a President from Wash
Iington inevitably means some s~lackcning
up in motion, especially if he goes away
at all frequently or remains away long.
Congress will not work. as a rule, when
the President is out Of town. There il
a feeling that the President should stay
near. Mr.. Wilson has observed this by
sticking at Washington as long as Con-
|gress was here and he is not likely to
break this rule. His visit to the White
Sulphur Springs was quite rs much for
the benefit Of Mrs. wilson. whose health

so little since he was President that tho
country does not think of him much in
that role. And yet he has sojourned

Local Cotton Situation.

Jack Frost, having flashed a warn
ing along the line that he would GER
tainly appear soon the farmers have
partially quit the cotton field and
started a vigorous attack on cane
fields and other feed crops in order to
get them down before Jack has time
TO do things to them with his paint
brush. Also potato patches have been
assailed for the same reason.
All this has cut down the receipts
at the local cotton gin to some extent.
but the shortage is in no wise due to
the cotton condition, as stated today
by cotton men, The receipts at the
Moore gin up to last night were close
to the 500 mark, with the daily aver
age holding up to about 80 bales. That
number has slumped slightly today and
yesterday on account of the cold
weather calling the farmers to other
tasks.
Cotton was quoted at 5 3-4 to 7-S
basis The best grades were. how
ever, bringing above cents on the
street today with quite a number OF
bales available. Cotton seed Is today
bringing $l2 per ton to the farmer.
