| -Walhalla and Oconee cotton buy
ers "got on to u.s. last Wednesday
afternoon about publishing the state
ment that the market here paid only
81 ~ C. on Tuesday before. The fig
ures were given us by dealer in a
nearby town, and he did not mention
any change in the market during the
day. We learn however, that there
had been a change. Up until late
hour Tuesday afternoon the price
paid was SIC, then the market went
off and 31A was paid. We regret
the error, which was made in the
hope Of helping to keep our markets
on par with others, as we can see
no reason why cotton cannot bring
as good price in Oconee as in the
towns Of other Piedmont counties.
We hope the Oconee dealers will
keep the price up. if not ahead, Of
Anderson, as was the case last week.
