If you need some cotton for
next year, now is the time to
buy, Mr.. Farmer, for they say
you can buy it cheaper now
than you can raise it.
Next Sunday is the day OF
prayer for peace in Europe.
President Wilson issued pro-
clamation several days ago cal
ling upon the people all over the
land 70 assemble at their places
OF worship on next Sunday and
send up to God one mighty CRY
for peace in war-torr Europe.
If the people will come in dead
earnest, with unselfish purpose
and beg God to bring about a
reconciliation, the sword will at
once be sheathed, the cannon
will cease to roar, the worn out
soldiers will return to loved ones
at home and the mighty struggle
will be at an end.
The Price Of cotton has been
on the decline for a few days
and it is getting so low again
that the farmers can't afford to
sell. Warehouses are being
built in nearly every town and
The farmers are beginning to
take advantage of this opportun-
ity to store cotton and secure
their notes with the warehouse
receipts. This seems 10 be the
wisest course to pursue. If much
more is placed on the market
now the price will drop still
lower. When the price gets
below eight cents il is below cost
of production and no farmer can
afford to sell. We advise those
who can not hold their cotton to

Pageland High school opened
Monday morning with bright
prospects for Il successful year,
for there seems to be unity of
purpose between patrons, S,trustees
and teachers. The trustees
have made an unusual effort to
secure body of teachers suited
to the particular needs of the
school. and if recommendations
and first impressions count for
anything, they have bee sue
Cessful in their search An able
and experienced principal with
efficient and conscientious help.
erS backed by a strong board of
trustees can hardly fail to make
this the best school in the county.
There is little room to doubt
that the teachers will strive for
the best interest of the children
enll.Yted to their care, and il
only remains for the patrons to
cooperate with them and help
to make this the best session in
the history of the school. There
are a thousand ways to help>the

there are a thousand and one
ways to hinder.

 Without Any Warning.

London, Nov. 25, 40 D. m.-Light but interesting touches from the bat tie front from the pen of the British eyewitness, Colonel E. D. Swinton, under date of Nov. 23, were given out today by the London press bureau. Of chief interest was the statement that the Germans are using a silent gun, probably of pneumatic equipment. Concerning this weapon, the account says:
 Tn our center the enemy employed a silent gun which may be pneumatic or worked by some mechanical con- trivance There is no report of the discharge, the projectile travels through the air without any of the warning made by an ordinary shell, and the first notice to be received of it's arrival is the detonation. So far the weapon has done no damage"
 The account speaks of the trenches of the opponents as being at some points only 40 yards apart. The Eng fish and Germans talk back and forth, hold shooting competitions and ex- change tobacco, much after the manner of the Ciyal war.
 There the positions are not unwel- come to our men," the account says, for they at any rate are secure from shell fire, the hostile artillery being unable to shoot in the fear that it would hit its own infantry. Indeed, for either side a trench close to the enemy often is a. safer spot than any other in the fighting zone"
