"Buy-a-bale" Movement is Fast Gain
ing Ground.

Clar, Sept. 19.-The "buy-a-bale'
movement IS growing in this locality.
C. =. Rizer, the largest merchant in
this part OF the State, has manifested
much interest in the cotton situation.
He has advanced the "buy-a-bale'
movement to the Northern and West
ern firms, with whom he deals, and
has just received instructions from
the Phoenix Flour mill of Evansville,
Ind, through their selling agent, c.
NJ. Fielder, Of Blackville. to but one
bale of cotton for them at 10 cents
per pound. The bale to be stored in
warehouse and they will honor
draft for the amount paid for the
bale.
Much can be accomplished by this
plan.

Boosting ''Buy-a-Bale" Movement.

Mr.. Walter E. Duncan, of the
staff of the Augusta Herald, was in
the city Monday collecting data on
the cotton situation for a write-up in
his paper. Mr. Duncan has written
cotton features for the Herald in
many towns and cities in South Caro-
lima and Georgia, and says he is very
optimistic over the outlook, and was
especially interested in the prospects
in Bamberg. He was much gratified
to learn that nine cents had been
paid in cash for cotton in Bamberg,
and was struck forcibly with the
manner in which warehouses had
sprung up in a night, so to speak, in
this county.

Editor The Bamberg Herald:-1f
you have not already done so, sug-

not raise cotton should buy at least
one bale a. ten cents from some

effect in the North.

RIO GRANDE MEN
AGAINST STRIKE

II the vote of the Denver & Rio
Grande engineers and firemen has
any material effect on the ballot
which has just been taken by all the
railroads west OF the Missouri, there
will be no general railroad strike
this fall. The balloting which was
started nearly month ago has Just
been finished.
The sentiment all along the road
and especially in Grand Junction Is
that the Rio Grande has treated
them very fairly and while the strike
vote has not been made public 1t is
understood that the vote was heavily
against the strike order. The en-
gineers and firemen on the Grande
have just one grievance and that
they feel can be very easily adjusted.
That is the fact that they have no
working agreement. In times past
they have had one but 1t was not re-
i!ewed as it expired recently. They
anticipate no trouble in reaching an
agreement along this line at all.

a part of his business. The early
spraying effectually stopped all raw
ages from the pests and few blemish-
ed peaches are seen. About 1000
cars win be shipped this fall. Mr..
Rupp estimates.
The pear prospects were never
brighter" the popular INSPECTOR de-
clared. There is absolutely no frost
damage and the usual pests have been
met with effective measure. Lime
sulphur sprays at the right time
have made the fruit of high quality
and prompt action among the ranch
men is averting serious damage from
pear hight which has made its ap-
pearance in some sections.

peaches about August 10 or go
at will be well for the growers
to pay attention to thinning the
Flemish Beauties. Bartletts and keif-
fer pears" Mr.. Rupp went on to
say. THE Gull pears must be cut
off If the quality OF the whole crop
is to be kept up. 1t means more
money in the growers pockets and
should not be neglected.
"Our estimate of the apple crop
is from 200 to 1.400 cars. The
ravages OF the codling moth has been
but minor detail this year and
the good condition of the crop is due
in large measure to the attention
the growers have paid to the field
men who have made every effort to
direct spraying and thinning along
the most effective lines. More thin
ming is needed in those sections
where the hail did some damage. The
crop is large-fully 80 per cent, |
believe, and ought to bring a fairly
good price although the general APP
pie yield is tremendously large.
Things look mighty bright for
the fruit growers this year and be-
lieve that they will harvest a mon
ster crop at fair prices.
