Ncwberry Cotton Selling at Fifteen
Cents.

Ncwberry Observer.
There has been good deal of n
stir in cotton circles in Newberry for
the last week or so because Of the
presence and operation Of the South
ern states Cotton Corporation" rep
resented here by Col. Alfred Aldrich
OF Barnwell. Col. Aldrich has been
paying 10 cents right along for gooG
middiinG cotton and for grades un-
der that has paid higher prices than
local buyers could possibly pay
higher than quoted for spots on the
New York market. The prices he pavs
are not dependent on the New YORK
market and do not vary from day to
day; every day he pays the same,
no more, no less-lj cents for good
midGling, plus four cents in Scrip.
to be paid in go days. For grades un.
der good middling he pays al cash
higher than the local market, and
gives scrip for more, to be paid i'm 90
days. Numbers of farmers have sold
him cotton under good middling at
q cash price higher than the market
price, and have received scrip in ad-
dition; so that they are ahead if
they never set any thing for the
scrip.
Col. Aldrich bought eighteen hun
dred bales in town Saturday, a large
portion OF it good mddling at Is
cents. Among those who sold to him
was II, o. Long OF Silverstr, r,et. who
sold sixty odd bales.
OF course there is good deal Of
speculation as TO the value Of the
scrip-whether it will be paid. on
this point The Observer finds the fol-
lowing from Editor Clarence Poe in
The Progressive Farmer in its is
sue of the Goth instant:
OF pertinencc in this connection
is the following from q reader in
Arkansas:
Please tell me what you think
about the Southern States Cotton Cor
OF Texas, which proposes to
give fifteen cents for cotton"
our answer to this, Brother Ar
is that Wen tell you more
definitely what We think about them
when We hear Of some farmer who
has received the fifteen cents they
'ecm 20 have been promising for 80
many months--iifteen cents, not in
promise, but in cold cash. We refus-
'd to run their advertising last year
md have not yet regretted our course
Very carly in this cotton market
ng season, while attending a farm
srs' conference In South Carolina. the
writer encountered one OF the Cor
poration's orators who all but con-
.icted us OF high treason because we
would not advise the farmers TO join
he scheme. But we held out for
some proof that his company had
actually paid a farmer
fifteen cents in coin of the realm for
ordinary middling cotton. He blust-
,red around, but finally gave us somo
far away names We might write to-
20 we wrote them. And we urged
prompt answer We also enclosed
reply envelopes. And that
VAS weeks ago. But no answer has
'omc yet"
The Observer knows nothing about
I except what Col. Aldrich says
which may be found further on in
his article. But there can be no
loubt in the mind of anybody that
he man who gets check for more
han the market price for his cotton
ma the scrip in addition, needn't
worry SO much about the scrip; and
'ol. Aldrich says tho scrip will be
certainly paid.

The Observer man hunted up Col.
Alfred Aldrich on Saturday and had
q talk with him on the marketing Ot
the cotton crop. with special reference
TO this system that he represents in
this part of the cotton belt. The OBJ
server was led to do this because of
statements made that numbers OF
farmers were getting better prices for
their cotton than could be obtained
in the local market, and that these
better prices were being paid by Col
Aldrich. The purpose was TO see
what he represents and how he does
il.
Col. Aldrich submitted readily to an
Interview. He said that he ia repre-
scntirg the Southern states Corpor-
ton corporation that embraces the
entire cotton states, having its head.

The change OF name. however. has
only n sentimental importance, and
if there were not practical advantages

gestion of Capt. Calhoun. there might
be more or less hesitation in advocat-

captain for distinguished bravery
on the field. His record for cour-
age and his steadfast devotion to
duty is one that any soldier might
we'll be proud Of.
In the early sos, he offered
himself and was accepted by the
Methodist conference and for thirty
years he gave the very best that
was in him to that work. 1t is suf-
fcient to say that the same courage
and devotion that marked him as a
soldier were shown daily in all his
long ministry. All who knew him,
whether as pastor, father or friend,
will long remember him with affec-
ton for the purity of his life, his
sincerity and his generous, kindly
manners. r b. W.
