The Cotton Exchange.

Many people have been telling us
that the re-opening Of the cotton eX-
change would materially help the
price Of cotton; but If there has beer
any help 1t has not come In the way
that the average cotton producer is
able to see it, and so far as we are
concerned we are not sure that there
has been any help at all.
On last Monday, the day the eX-
changes opened the price Of futures
started out on the same basis Of spots
in the New York market. There was
a decline Of about SO bale next day.
and prices have been going down ever
since, with a strong probability OF
striking still lower levels.
To the man who wants to kick him
self for not having sold his cotton
some time ago, and to the man who
listens to reproaches for not having
sold at 9 cents when he had O
chance" we want to say that they
have no occasion to worry over any al
legged slip-up along that line.
There has not been time since the
closing Of the exchange when the cot
ton crop Of York county could have
been sold for cents or anything like
it. and the re-opening Of the exchange
is the best evidence of that fact.
Some three weeks ago, for instance
York county farmer told The En-
quirer Of having sold six bales of cot
ton to a Yorkville buyer, and after the
cotton was weighed up and paid for
the buyer told the farmer. Il would
not give you 81 cents for another
bale" In a like manner if the county
as a whole had commenced selling,
the prices would have dropped to 6
cents and possibly 5 before 300 bales
had been disposed Of and there is
good reason to believe that right now
if the whole south would try to SELL
the market would drop to cents In
less than week.
OF course so long as the exchange
was closed, there was opportunity to
sell a few scattering bales At i or
something like that, to satisfy the i'm
mediate demands Of the mills; but
that Is all. The opening of the en-
change affords Il wider market at some
kind Of n price; but does not neceS-
sarily help the average price at when
the crop Of the south can be sold

TO SHOW VALUE OF GRAIN

Commissioner of Agriculture E. j.
Watson, Prof. w. w. Long, head OF
the farm demonstration work in South
Carolina, Prof A. G. Smith. Of alfalfa
fame, and several other experts of
note, this week began tour Of South
Carolina by automobile, the object OF
the trip being an effort to try to show
farmers Of South Carolina the value
of sowing small grain as a substitute
for the cotton which many small farm
ers will be unable to plant next year.
The agricultural experts propose to
visit every county seat in the state
and numerous other towns in the va
rious counties as we'll They are being
met at each stopping place by county
demonstration agents, farmers and
others, and reports from places in the
state where the party has visited up to
this time, say the meetings are being
attended by hundreds Of farmers in
terested In the planting Of wheat oats
and other grains.
The party will probably reach York
county about next Wednesday. They
will very likely visit Yorkville. Clover
and Rock Hill, and are hopeful of a
large attendance at each of the York
county towns visited.

when the mobilization began police
men visited every public place where
vodka is sold. locked up the supply of
liquor, which is almost pure alcohol,
and placed on the shop the imperial
seal. Since the manufacture and sale
of vodka is a government monopoly,
II is not difficult to enforce prohibi-
ton and from the day the shops were
closed drunkenness vanished. The re-
suits already are seen in the peasant

The fact that no news of the sink
ing of the British super er-dreadnought
Audacious, which occurred on october
81, was received in America until No
vember Is, gives some suggestion OF
the many similar disasters that may
have occurred without the world hay
ing been made any wiser. The British
government gave out no information
of the affair, and the news was brought
to America by passengers OF the
White Star liner Olympic. 1t devel-
OBS now that the Audacious at the
time Of the SINKING was coming along
with a number of other battleships
and when the great vessel got in
trouble the other ships steamed away.
This was in accordance with orders
that were issued Immediately after
the sinking of the three British cruis-
ers by a German submarine some
weeks ago 1t will be remembered
that after one of the cruisers was
struck. two others came to the rescue,
and the submarine got all three. The
Audacious was struck by mine. The
other ships thought II was Il torped"
and ran off. Had not the White Star
liner Olympic been near the entire
crew Of the Audacious would haYe
been lost.

The fight of the regional reserve

The fight Of the regional reserve
banking system is going to be with
the strongly entrenched big banks or
private corporations which have long
established connections with the
smaller banks throughout the country.
and which act as subsidiaries through
which Great Britain has long controll-
ed the finances Of the United States.
If the regional reserve system shall
prove able to dominate the banking
business of this country and furnish
proper facilities through which Amer
ica can do business In satisfactory
manner with foreign countries. then
the United States stands chance OF
becoming financially as we'll as politi-
cally free-a sovereign nation In fact
as we'll as in name.

Financial Freedom.

Illinois, is quoted as predicting that IT
will be impossible for the United
States to much LONGER stove off ac-
tive intervention in Mexico. He says
that the idea that those MeXicans can
ever settle their trouble among them
selves is absurd, and that very soon
now there will be an irresistible popu-
lar clammor for the protection OF
American life and property in the ter
ritory Of our disturbed neighbor to the
south Correspondents in Washington
claim that scores of senators and rep
resentatives in Washington hold to the
same idea but they are not willing to
be quoted. Senator Lewis makes no
hesitation in predicting that before
President Wilson has rounded out his
first term he will be compelled TO send
an army into Mexico.
