We hope that our farmer friends
will not rush their cotton on the
market. There Is opportunity to get
money on cotton by storing 1t in a
warehouse, and the price will surely
go back to rs cents in short time,
and we would like to see the pro-
ducer share in the advanced price.
The supply of cotton is short and
nothing is keeping the price down but
the speculator. OF course the specu-
iator and the manufacturer want to
buy the raw material as cheap as they
can, but look at the price of the man
ufactured article, and then compare
it with the price when cotton was l5
cents the pound even. and you will
see that cotton is cheap even at 30
cents the pound, and the price OF
cloth is not coming down as cotton
goes down. And bacon and flour and
corn and other things are away up
and only cotton is going down. The
remedy is to put your cotton in a
warehouse and If you have to have
money go to bank and get it. Banks
generally will be glad to lend on cot
ton and will give reasonable rate OF
interest. Cotton is sure to go back
to 25 cents and probably 80 cents

A MILLIONAIRE SOLDIER.
Col. Cornelius Vanderbilt is Stationed
At Spartanburg.

Sunday afternoon some newspaper
men came across an officer seated In
a fly tent in the edge Of a cotton field
on the west side of Camp Wadsworth.
There was no floor in the tent, and
the furnishings consisted of two camp
chairs. Just those two camp chairs.
Nothing more.
The officer looked up pleasantly
and greeted his visitors with smile.
He was a rather tall, slender man,
with a neatly trimmed vandyke
beard and a mop of black hair In
clined to be curly. He had clear blue
eyes and a rudy skin which proclaim
ed plain and sane living.
The officer was Colonel Cornelius
Vanderbilt, commanding the Twenty
second regiment Of engineers, a mil
lionaire a good many times over -
one of the wealthiest men in the
country and by odds the wealthiest
man in the United States army today.
There was nothing to indicate wealth
or luxury in his surroundings, but he
seemed to be contented; and, in fact,
happy.
Colonel Vanderbilt has been in the
habit Of riding around over the coun-
try in a private car, and II he has
been in any particular hurry he has
simply ordered out a special train,
for he is a railroad magnate. He
owns railroad stocks and bonds by
the bale, and he owns more than one
entire system outright. But he came
to Spartanburg from New York on a
troop train, which made considerably
less than 20 miles an hour. and he
did not have any special or extra ac-
comm odations. And he said he en-
joyed the trip.
Colonel Vanderbilt has always been
fond of outdoor life, and the Nation.
al Guard appealed to him on that &C,
count. He liked the spirit of it, an
after he got started into 1t he sol
won promotion. 1t was la1<nn
pastime with him, at first,
gave a good deal Of time and
to the work and he became 2sleiy
efficient military man, just as he il
efficient at everything else to which
he gives attention. That he Is quail,

SCHOOL.

The basket ball court for the boys
is finally fixed and the ball has come
so the boys played their first game
last Friday.
The usual game of basket ball was
played last Friday on the girls side
/ The seventh grades had hard time
but when the bell rang the score was
to 2, in seventies favor. The girls
on seventh grade side were: Marie
Bell, Elizabeth Sheffield, Hulet Hum
Der, Frances Sparks and Lolita Phys
ioc. Lolita Physicoc put in a ball on
foul counting one, and then she put in
fair ball counting two. We had Miss
Keith for our referee.
We had all of our monthly tests last
week. Monday we had tests in egog-
raphy and arithemetic Tuesday we
had history, and our history teacher
said they were the best set from the
II that she had ever had. Wednes-
Jay we ndu granular.
All the rooms of our school are try
ing to get a picture. Each child is
supposed to bring five cents and the
money tina teach grade brings will be
doubled from the general fund, pro-
vided it amounts to $500 or over.
We (the seventh grades) have fin
ished our big geography Ito our de-
light and taken up Agriculture. We
will plant tomatoes in hot beds this
week.
Last week the girls cooked light
bread and it was good, we know, al
though we didn't get a chance to taste
it. 1 suppose all the girls in the
seventh grades know how to cook It
and will ask their mothers to let them
try it, but she will have to be careful
because it takes six cups of -four.
We have just heard the announce
ment made that the boys should not
play baseball with hard or soft ball.
The boys are not so very sorry, be-
cause they have basket ball now.
You can tell by looking at the chill
dren of the grammar school ;, that
spring is nearly here. About half of
the boys are barefooted and lots of
the girls have put on socks The
girls in the seventh grades realize this
is their last chance at wearing socks,
SO they have put them on early.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW
TO PREPARE A LUNCH

ATLANTA, Ca, March 3.-Knowing
how to prepare a healthful and whole
some lunch is equally as important as
knowing how to work a problem in
algebra or parse Latin sentence, de-
clares Atlanta mothers who have de-
cided to lay off the literary stuff at the
regular meetings Of their Parent
Teacher Associations, and go in for
practical cookery for a while.
At number of schools where these
domestic science programs have been
established, not only the parents and
teachers find them vastly more inter
esting than the subjects formerly dis
cussed, but also the children have
asked to be allowed to "sit in" the
game and take hand in the prepare
ton of sandwiches, salads and candies

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out, just
try inside-bathing every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in It
as a harmless means of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
MIGRATING. It cleans out ell the
sour lamentations, gases and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phOs-
plate will cost very little at the
drug store but is sufficient to demon
strate that just as soap and hot wa
ter cleanses, sweetens and freshens
the skin. so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the blood and intern
al organs. Those who are subject to
constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, rheumatic twinges, also those
whose skin is sallow and complexion
pallid, are assured that one week of
i1side-bahing will have them both
looking and feeling better in every
way. adVt.

There is an old saying that every
cloud has a silver lining. The silver
lining to the rather gloomy school
week appeared Friday night in the
form of a basketball game between
the girls team of Americas and OF
Albany. 1t was the grand climax, OF
the week.
At the beginning of the game the
lineup was:
Albany: Lucille Barber, lg.; Willie
D. Clark, re-; Mary Pace, c.; Ruby
Neill, If; Rebecca Jackson, RI.
Americus: Pauline Broadhurst, lg.;
Margery Kalmon, re-; Mary Sue
Chambliss, c.; Orlean Ansley, IT,;
Frances AcMath. IF.
The playing in the first half was
very good and ended with a score OF
16 to in favor of Albany. At the
beginning of the second half, substi-
tutions were made in both teams.
Jewel Johnson was substituted for Re-
becca Jackson, Eunice Royal for Paul
inc Broadhurst and Naomi Wright for
Frances .McMath. There was hard
playing on both sides, especially on the
part of the guards. The score at the
end of the game was 20 to in favor
of Albany.
Without question Ruby Neill was the
star for Albany and Orlean Ansley for
Americas. Although our team was de-
feated, it played exceptionally well and
the difference in the score was occas-
toned partly by the longer practice and
superior experience of the Albany
team.
