Minor Matters.

Under the auspices af this committee several
eonferences were held the past summer with farmers
and cotton buyers, IN an tendeavor to consider the
local cotton market. Some complaints were made
by farmers and business men that Anderson's cot
ton market Yves lever than 9: competing points
The committee has never yet been able to ascertain
ta) either that 1t is real fact that Anderson as
cotton market is lower than other points, or (b)
that IL such Is the case, what Is the thereof
The cotton buyers contend, do many others, that
the actual cash cotton market at Anderson is as
good as elsewhere, If not better and that some
small towns In vicinity of Anderson make prRc-
tice of ostensbly paying for cotton than this
city, but that IN fact merchants in such towns pay
for the cotton In old debts and merchandise, and
hold the market down late in the season. The
Daily Mail OF Anderson refuted the argument that
Andersen is aot good Or better cotton market
than Georgia towns.
The committee assisted in the matter OF organ
ization of the incorporated town OF Frankvillee
Anderson County, was represented at several ma
nenal and state civic conferences and at the Con-
ferance for the Common Good ut Columbia, ETC.

harbor works and the fleet at anchor

The night was dark and a heavy
rain and haze made searchlight work
difficult. The forts were put on alert
abope 4 o'clock by the appearance off
the harbor entrance of an unknown
steamer which refused to stop until q
shot was fired across her bow. This
vessel then retired. She Is believed to
have been the tender of the subma-

NEED SHIPS TO CARRY COTTON
McEAVRlN COMMENTS on DE-

VESSELS.
English Paper Says Staple Could
HI Sent to Moscow Over Pacific
Ocean.

Columbia, Dec. l1.-Comlnentinu
yesterday on the pressing need fol
ships to carry cotton to European
ports, John j. McLaurin, State cotton
warehouse commissioner, said that
the war was forcing the development
or new functions Of government.
THE need for ships to expert cot
ton was evidenced last Wednesday
In the New Orleans exchange, when
brokers bid SIS a bale freight 10 Bre-
men, said Mr.. McLaurin. IL also
notice in The Textile Mercury. pub
lished in Manchester, England. that
cotton is selling in Russia at 81 cents
a pound. The article says that Amer
lean cotton can be shipped to Moscow
by way of Siberia. The great demand
now is for ships to carry cotton to
Germany. There are many German
merchant ships tied up in American
ports. 1T was reported in New York

more to President Wilson looking to
the purchase Of these ships.
Mr.. Bakers idea is that, instead
of being purchased by the govern
ment, money be loaned by the govern
ment to private parties with which
the ships would be bought" con-
tinued Mr.. McLaurin. England
would be sure to object to this, rs the
German government owns a part in
terest in these ships. The only prac-
tical plan is for the United States
government to buy these ships ITSELF
as the bill now before congress pro-
vides. Congress is also about to pro-
vide marine insurance. Certainly this
war is developing new functions Of
on every hand 1t is but
a step from the buying Of ships to
carry cotton and the insuring Of it by
congress to purchasing the cotton it.

BIGGEST COTTON CROP EVER,
MORE THAN THAN SIXTEEN MIL.
LION BALES RAISED THIS
YEAR,
Ihned States Will Have 1896 OOO
Bales of Lint and SOC. 600 of Linter,
From 1914 Crop.

washington, Dec 1O.-The United
states TINS year has produced the
greatest crop Of cotton i'm its history
More than $1,000, 900 bales, or H.
so0'ooo bales Of lint cotton and lint
er cotton. unOfficially estimated at
from 100000 to 100000 bales, consti-
tute the crop.
Last year 14,3.2,367 bales including
llnters were produced and in the pre-
vious record year, 1911, the produc-
tion was 16,25O,276 bales, including
linters.
The production Of lint is estimated
at I637,11S.00O pounds or 600 600
pounds more than 1911.
While the production exceeds any
crop ever grown, it's value will be far
less and smaller than any other year
during the past five.
BASED on the average price of 6.S
cents a pound on December /, the lint
is worth $519,323,6s4, while last year
it was valued at $S87,160.OOO.
More exact information as to the
size OF this years cotton crop was
given today when the department of
agriculture in it's final estimate an
nounced the total production would
amount to 15,966,OOO bales Of 500
pounds. gross weight. exclusive of
linters. This compares with 14,156.-
4S6 bales last year and 14,795.3G7
bales including linters; 13,7O3,421
bales in 1912 and 14,312,745, includ-
ing linters; and 15.692,7O1 bales in
the record year 1911 and 16,250,27G
including linters.
The average total production, ex-
elusive of linters for five years, 1903
IL. was 12.s5O.297 bales. The pro-
duction Of linters is about 600, 900
bales annually.
The final official figures giving the
exact size of this years crop will be
issued by the census bureau next
March when complete statistics from
the ginneries have been compiled.
While this years crop is a large
one its value will fall far below that
of last year, because Of the price Of
cotton. Last years crop. a record in
point Of value, was worth in the ag-
gregate $1.O43.76O,OOO, the value Of
the lint being $ss7.160,OOO and of
the cotton seed $156,6OO.OOO.
