New York. Sept. S.-Manipulation
of war shares was the feature of to-
days early trading. General Motors
made an initial gain of 3 points to 25S
and Crucible Steel rose Ia to Sc, with
gains of point in others of that
group. Tennessee Copper was the
only metal issue to record a gain,
advancing "a to 571a. Railways were
irregular. Readings advance of point
to 151 q soon being lost. Rock Island
was heavy. losing l q to 1SA, prob
ably as result of the withdrawal of
an important interest from further
connection with the property. The
local market derived no encourage
ment from London, where Americans
manifested further weakness.

THE OUTLOOK.
BY the Observer.

We have some mighty wise people
in this world. Some of them are
really wise; others are very wise in
their own estimation. There are
quite good many of the latter class
right here at home. All you have to
do to learn how to run this govern
ment of ours is to go out on the street
and hang about while You'll get
it. Especially from those who think
President Wilson is not running this
war business right. If les majeste
was crime in this country, some
Bamberg people would have been in
Jail long ago. Not so very long ago
one man was heard to proclaim the
Illuminating information that the
Washington government was a set
of idiots. and emphasized his bright
remark with few choice cuss words.
So far as my opinion goes, I think
that Wilson is the greatest man
America has produced in many de-
cades. I really think that of about
ninety-nine presidents in hundred,
he is the hundredth man who would
have kept this country out of war
this long.

His Only Guide.

The distinguished and well-beloved
bishop of a certain Southern State
is so absent-minded that his family
is always apprehensive for his well
fare when he is away from them.
Not long ago, while making jour-
ney by rail, the bishop was unable to
find his ticket when the conductor
asked for it.;
Never mind, bishop" said the
conductor, who knew him we'll, I'll
get it on my second round"
However, when the conductor pass
ed through the car, the ticket was
still missing.
"Oh, we'll, bishop, it will be all
right if you never find it," the con-
ductor assured him.
mo, it won't, my friend" contra
dicted the bishop. i've got to find
that ticket. / want to know where
I'm going."-Youth's Companion.

Here is Some Corn Freak.

Some weeks ago we called atten-
ton to an ear of corn grown in this
county with grains on it popped
open, like unto popcorn. Mayor E.
C. Hays goes this decidedly one bet
ter. He has brought in a small ear
of corn which is indeed a freak, GU
riosity and monstrosity all in one
breath. The ear is about five inches
in length, and is we'll filled out, but
each grain on the ear is neatly cover
ed with an individual shuck. There
is not an exposed grain on the whole
ear. The whole ear grew in regu-
lation shuck, besides. This takes the
prize, so far. If anybody can beat it,
we'd like to know about it.

Farmers Selling Cotton.

Considerable cotton is being sold
in Bamberg. Eight bales were
bought in by local buyers Tuesday,
and every day several bales are be-
ing sold. The farmers are selling
their new cotton as fast as it is be-
ing ginned. The prevailing price on
the local market is around eight
cents per pound for middling. While
it is generally thought that the pres
ent price is low and that a better
price may be hoped for, the farmers
consider that the present price is
fair, all conditions taken into con-
sideration, for the new staple. The
price for old cotton in Augusta is
about eight and one-half, based on
middling.
