The establishment of an air route
between the United States and Eu-
rope seems now a certainty. Plans
are well advanced for the initial
flight to take place probably in Au-

Maj. Gen. Brancker, of the British
army and controlling general of the
British air equipment, is now In
Washington arranging the details of
the fight 1t is planned to use the
new Liberty motors in the flight,
which will take about forty, hours,
according to experts.

MARKET QUIET
BUT NOT WEAK
Rumor Of Hindenburg S
Death Tends to Re

BY BRoApAN WALL.

New York, July 13.-The death of
Gen. Hindenburg was reported this
morning but was not believed and the.
report had not been confirmed when
the market closed. The report did.
however. have material influence on
tho market. II restrained selling.
Wall Street argued that II true the
report explained the lack Of snap In

4 est Immediately.
SHxtreme dullness prevailed. For
more than an hour there was a COM
plete absence, Of trading i'm some Of
the most important. stocks. 1t was
nearly noon before Union Pacific or
Anaconda made their appearance on
the tape. What few stocks were dealt
In were strong. advances being gem
eraL In the late trading the only
weakness that appeared was in Amer
lean Sumatra. That stock broke 81
points to 12s1S. which is a level 1t
has not touched for several weeks.
This Is one of the stocks that the
street believes is eornered. The other
cornered stock, General Motors, ad-
vanced IL points on a few transac-
tons. American Malt declined y
point further and there was talk Of
a compromise, letting all the stock
holders in on the liquidation plan.
This Will probably be necessary to
carry the plan through without in
terruption.
American Can.
Buying of American Can persists
despite the statement that no divi-
dends are in contemplation. One
leading commission house that Is
advising the purchase OF the stock
insists that in the near future one
director will start a movement for
early dividends under the belief
that he can oyerrule the conserva-
tive members of the board. Can is
making large profits, but the pay
E<ents of the dividends while bor-
rowing money for operating ex-
penses would not be looked upon as
good business by Wall Street. 1t is
true the borrowing of money by the
company Is due entirely to the ,tre-
mendous volume of business and not
to any distress.
Low-priced railroad stocks are be-
ing accumulated and one firm OF
bankers that was prominent in the
reorganization OF some of these
properties has been the chief buyer.
As the firm must be overloaded with
these securities as a result of the
reorganizations the only conclusion
possible is that it Is preparing the
market for a campaign in these is
sues.
Bank Statement
The actual bank statement today
showed an increase in reserves Of
S29, 230, an increase in loans of
s62.S55.00O and an increase in net
demand deposits of $76.641,000. The
average statement showed a de-
crease in reserves OF s12.6S2.610. an
increase in loans of $50, ,456. 900 and a
decrease in net demand deposits of
$11,76s.O0O. This statement indi-
Gates that the turn has come in the
banking situation and more rea-
sonsble money rates must therefore
be expected in the coming week.

DEATH OF MAJOR JOHN WILSON
BUTLER

Lexington friends and acQuain-
tances of Major John Wilson Butler,
for a number of years a resident Of
Lexington, will regret to learn of his
death which occurred at his home in
Spartanburg on Friday last. Some
weeks ago Major Butler contracted a
case of influenza, which developed in
to pneumonia. He was seventy-five
years of age, and was well known
throughout the State, having for
number of years been engaged in ira
yelling. He was buried in Atlanta on
Sunday
Major Butler was Georgian by
birth, and prior to his residence in
this State was a resident of Atlanta.
During the Civil War he saw stren-
uouS service in the Confederate
Army, and was man of unquestion-
ed courage and devotion to duty. In
after years, his pleasant address and
splendid character readily drew close
friends to him, and commanded the
respect of his large acquaintanceship.
Some seven or eight years ago, Ma
jor Butler married Miss Alice Meetze
of this town, who survives him. By
a former marriage he leaves four
daughters, Mrs. W. A Wright of At
lanta, Ga, Mrs. A F. Lever, of Wash
ington D. c.. Mrs. Sam Means of, Spar
tanburg, S. c., and Mrs. Quay Will
ford of Darlington.

SHEALY-WENGARD.

One of the happiest social events
Of the season took place last Wednes-
day at the residence Of Mr. and Mrs.
". K. Shealy when their eldest daueh
ter, Allie Marie, was married to Law
renee Wingard of near Chaplin. The
wedding took place in the parlor of
the family residence in the presence
of the immediate families of the bride
and groom and a few invited guests.
The pretty bride entered the room
with her sister Ethel, while the we'd
ding march was payed by Miss Addie
Mae Short Of Columbia, and took her
place at the marriage alter, where she
was met by the groom, and, Mr.. H.
Caughman Dreher as best-man.
The bride was handsomely dressed
in blue messaline with accessories to
match. The ceremony was perform
ed by their pastor, the Rev. r. M.
Carpenter of Chaplin. Agter the cere-
mony the company retired to the din
ing room where a sumptuous wedding
luncheon was served to the gcests by
Misses Alice Fulmer and Ella Rose
Shealy, and where the young couple
received hearty congratulations. The
house was most artistically decorated
in southern Smilax.
Mrs. Wingard is a popular young
woman, belonging to one of the best
families of this county and is greatly
admired by a large circle of friends
for her many admirable qualities OF
mind and heart
Mr.. Wingard is a successful farmer
we'll known and esteemed over a large
part of the State.
The young people will make their
home at the country residence OF the
father Of the groom, with the best
wishes of a host of friends.

Lexington friends of Miss Reble
Council, Millner for the Caughman-
Kaminer Company, regret the clos
ing of the three months fall season,
and her consequent return to her
home in, Franklin, Virginia. Profess
s:onally, Miss Councill;s distinctive
work in Lexington fully merited the
constant and efficient attention she
gave the Millinery Department OF the
above firm and the Caughman-kam-
iner Company were fortunate in their
selection of a milliner whose creative
abilities and tastes place her IN the
fore-ranks of that profession. In ad-
dition to a large clientele who Will
miss her in a professional way, MISS
Councill's charm of personality and
manner readily made for her a host
of personal friends in this communl-
ty.
The ..,illinery Department OF the

LEXINGTON FARMERS TO HOLD
COTTON FOR TE1IRTY-FIYE CENTS

up to the people of America to save
to save now governing their appetit
es just as much so as they did before
te war ended. America has done
much, as now she has the respect OF
the entire world. ....
At the conclusion of Mr.. BennetSs
splendid speech the following reselu-
ton was offered by T. c. Callison
and unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS it appears that there
is now a world shortage of cotton
and taht the apparent lack of demand
for cotton, and that the apparent
lack OF demand for cotton is not due
to a. surplus of cotton in the hands OF
the manufacturers, but due largely to
Iank of transportation facilities;
AND WHEREAS now appear that
ocean tonnage will soon be provided
for the export of cotton which Will
greatly increase the demand for the
staple, and until sufficient tonnage
can he provided to export*our sur
plus crop, lit will be disastrous to the
cotton growers to continue placing
cotton on the market, as by doing 50
before the surplus can be absorbed
rby exportation, will necessarily de-
press the market, and thus cause the
whole country to suffer great finan-
cial loss and depression;
NOW THEREFORE? Be it resolvd
ed by the farmers of Lexington Coun-
ty, here assembled, that we do hold
all cotton now in our possession until
the price filtered for same shall be
equal to its intrensic value, it is the
sense of this meeting that fair value
of cotton under present conditions is
thirty-five cents per pound.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
that it is the sense of this convention,
that all farmers who cannot hold
their cotton should place the same in
warehouses and apply to their bank
to loan them such money as they
may need to aid them in holding the
same,
And be it further resolved that all
banking institutions be requested to
render all aid possible to farmers de-
string to hold their cotton.
