COTTON MOVING SLOWLY.
National Cotton Council Calls Con-
ference for October.

Boston, September 25:-The Ma
tional Council of American Cotton
Manufacturers issued call today
for a conference in Washington on
October 5 to consider ways and
means for speedier and more eco
nomic movement of the cotton crop
from the South to mills in New
England. Rufus R Wilson, acting
secretary of the council, said the
meeting had been called with the
approval of the department of com.
merce and the railroad war board
and that it was desired to have
planters, manufacturers and repre-.
sentatatives of the railroads attend.
The abnormal conditions result
ing from the u.boat campaign and
the shipment of war supplies" the
call stated, have seriously reduced
the cargo space available for the ex-
port and coastwise shipment of cot
ton. Indeed, there is every pros
pect that at an early date the North
ern manufacturer must rely on ship
ment by rail for his supply during
the coming year. Moreover, the

Cotton Embargo Will Not Hurt Us.

There is no reason in the world
for cotton growers to be alarmed
about the United States Govern
ment's embargo against the ship
ment of cotton to certain European
countries which have been furnish
ing supplies to Germany, is the
opinion of bankers and business men
who have carefully studied the situ-
alton and who have satisfied them
selves that the embargo will do the
cotton growers no harm whatever.
The facts are these
In 1916 the five countries affected
by the embargo e, Holland, Den
mark, Norway, Sweden and Switzer-
handbook only 100000 bales Of
American cotton.
In 1916 the total American cotton
crop consumed in this country and
sold abroad was 12.43S,25l bales.
The 1917 crop, according to esti-
mates of the U S department Of
agriculture, will run to a total of
12,499,OOO bales. which is 939, PSI
less than the 1916 crop.
This shortage of the 1917 crop as
compared with the 1916 crop is
more than three times as great as
the total cotton bought last year by
Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden
and Switzerland.
Another important factor in the
situation is that American mills this
year will consume a tremendous
quantity of cotton in excess of last
years consumption, by reason of the
fact that khaki uniforms must be
manufactured for nearly 100000
soldiers and thousands of tents must
be made.

shipments by rail of other COM
modities because of the war are
steadily increasing without cores
ponding addition to the rolling equip
ment of railroads. Present ship
ping facilities must be conserved to
the utmost and efforts must be
made all along the line to increase
the efficiency of our methods.

Guard Against Fire.

The following letter that has been
received by Mr. M H Jacobs is self
explanatory and is published for the
information of property overs:
Chief of Fire Department,
Kingstree, S c.
Dear Sir:-Help to reduce the
shingle roof fires by advising the
people at this season of the year,
that they should put piece of old
sheet zinc or an old discarded dry
cell battery in their fire places
and stoves. The fumes from this
will rid the chimneys of SCOT and
save money and houses.
Help prevent fires by urging peo-
pie to rid their cellars, garrets and
premises of trash. Have no greasy
rags about the house to start spon-
taneous cambustion fires. Do not
put ashes of any kind in wooden
boxes. Replace weathered shingles
with tin or some non-combustible
roof and see that their electrical
wiring has not the insulation worn
off and is in good order.
Help save the property of the
people. This may not reduce in
surance rates but it will save loss to
many citizens.
Very truly,
FIJI MCMASTER,
Insurance Com.

A Toast to Kingstree.

A simple toast, / now must give
To the little Kingstree town,
The fairest of a dozen fair
In all my casual round.
Hamlets more fair l might have seen,
With spires that glitter high;
With playing fountains everywhere
And flowers blooming nigh.
But it isn't the town that makes the
living,
Nor the money that makes US smile,
'Tis the hearts within, that are true
to the end
And beckons some highway. the
while.
Thou art made of real folks
And not of human classes,
Then here's to you, little town,
With many, merry lassies.
The fairest of dozen fair,
In all my casual round;
The kindest of a dozen kind,
Thou, little southern town.
