Save for the scratches from wire and

LETTER FROM HARVEY RANSOM
Tells of His DugOut and the Many
BOche Planes in France.

Sergeant J. Harvey Ransom, of
Company A. SO Pioneer Regiment, in
France, ? former Smyrna boy, has the
following to say in his letter received
last week under date of October 31st,
1918:-We wish to convey to you as
we'll as the Smyrna Red Cross our
heartfelt thanks and hearty apprecia-
tion for the deeds of patriotism by
which we have beeen greatly benefited
in the past, and we are proud of the
wonderful work done by the people of
Smyrna in this great cause. We wish
to assure them through your valuable
paper that the boys are giving the
Kaiser H. We are now living
where there is plenty of excitement
every day. All bands are living in
dugOuts, as it is not the custom in this
country to live above the ground. as
the Huns here are very active They
send them over pretty fast, we are
sending them back 20 to 1.
DOCllC pldIlcS mere are very dCClNe
and it is only common everyday oc-
currence to witness air battles.
The roar of artillery is continuous
but the boys have learned to love the
music of the big guns. At present a
BOche plane is flying around and drop
ping bombs not far away. The hum
of his motor can be heard plainly
while the heavy artillery across the
field jars my dugOut.
All the boys are in the pink of con-
ditiOn and always ready to mix, and
believe me, are looking forward to the
day when we will return to the States
with Victory, honor and glory, to rally
around the standard as we did in the
days of yOre.
Have told you all for this time, due
to the strict censorship.
With best regards to the Smyrna
folks. (Smyna Bunch)

Bank Statement Show Healthy FL
nancial Condition Of County

In this issue are published the state.
ments of the eight banks doing business
in Fayette county, and the like Of these
statements has never, been seen here be
fore. The total assets of the banks
has passed one and quarter million dol
lars and the deposits are considerably
in excess of million dollars.
Not a bank in the list but has shown
gains over the statements issued about
this time last year and some Of them
show wonderful increases.
And this condition follows after the
greatest calls from outside sources that
have ever been made on the county for
money. Not far from a half million
dollars has gone from this county in a
year and half for Liberty Bonds, W.
S. Stamps, Red Cross Subscriptions. Y.
M. C. A. and War Work Subscriptions,
in ell of which the county has met and
gone over its allotment, and then the
bank statements published show the
largest assets ever known in the county.
Fayette county is not far from a mil
hon dollars better off, if we are to judge
from these facts, than she was year
ago, and that in the face of her send
ing more tbsn..a thousand of her most
active young men to the camps and
trenches. Truly has this been great
year for Fayette county and she has
met her obligations end grown richer
with the passing months. These facts
should be a matter Of pride to every
loyal Fayette countian.

l9lS:-A pea;e celebration was given
here by the RED Gross Auxiliary"
Friday evening, at the Red Cross rooms.
The rooms we're artistically decorated

an atmosphere of peace and cheer.
The program was opened by chairman,
Rev. W. 0, Wardlaw. who in turn intro
duced the entertainers for the evening"
Miss Pearl Webb of Whiteville, in her
usual charming manner, rendered some
fitting war poems, which delightfully."-
pleased the audience. This was follow
ed by stirring peace address by Rev.
G. A. Harper Of Somervile. Aplayer-
phone furnished patriotic music for the
evening. Delightful refreshments, con-
sisting of sandwiches and hot chocolate
were served. On account of rain only
a small crowd was present, however the
free will offering" to the Red Cross
amounted to twenty-five dollars. &C.

Last Saturdays Club Show

Last Saturdays show of corn, pig,
poultry and canning clubs was a revela-
ton in numerous WAYS in this county.
IL was most splendid success in spite
OF the rain and other handicaps that
could not be prevented.
The number and quality of hogs en-
tered by the pig club were equal to any
show in this section and the entries by
breeders of the county made an excel
lent showing in fine quality. Some ex.
ira good individual porkers were shown
and number of good sales were made
by breeders to other citizens who be
come now breeders of registered hogs.
The good to The county through this
source will be worth thousands of dol.
lars in the coming year with the inhu.
ence extending over many years to
come. Right here again the value Of a
County Agent is demonstrated, for the
club work is part of his duty and
business and he has done it well and
successfully, as was exemplified by tn.
good hogs of these boys and girls
shown here Saturday.
The Duroc Jerseys were largely in
the majority, with Hampshires, o. l..
C.'s and Poland Chinas in good num-
bers.
The ten-ear corn exhibit of corn club
boys, and the canning club exhibit were
worthy of much larger county than
this and reflect much credit on the
Home Demonstration Agent who has
had charge of canning club work in the
county for several years, and on the
County Farm Agent. who supervises
the corn clubs.
There were many visitors here thru
out the day in spite of the rain of the
night before and the threatening day
and the exhibits sections were crowded
all day with people interested in seeing
these products of the work of the boys
and girls in county clubs, and all We're
surprised at the numbers and good
quality they saw.
Among the attractions were seven
fat hogs that weighed over 400 pounds
each, and as near like the pictures we
see in stock papers as one in this cUun-
try ever saw. They were the property
of w. S. Latta of this city, and the
heaviest weighed 466 pounds. and they
would be hard to beat in any country.
Following are the winners in the club
shows:

The Cotton Situation

A good Fayette county cotton buyer
and business man from another point
in the county in town Monday told US
be had on hand at that time 1900 bales
of cotton and that he was holding it
for better prices. We have known this
man twenty years and have seen his
business grow to one of the largest in
the county and we have every conf
dence in bis business judgement. He
believes cotton will advance in price
and that it will pay him to hold his
1900 bales until the price does advance.
Everybody admits the crop is short,
everybody admits that the demand will
he heavy all over the world, and every
body admits that the world supply is
not equal to its needs for the next year
while another crop is making. The
country has the money TO buy unlimit-
ed quantities of it, and there is not a
reason in the world why the price should
have gone down from its high level of
a month ago except that spectators
were able to intimidate the whole mar
ket situation and fix price that would
enable them to buy at low level and
after getting the cotton out of the far
mer's hands they expect to raise the
price and clean up millions of dollars
thereby. Today they are placing large
orders throut the south and would be
glad to buy all possible. on the present
market. Fortunately, many farmers
and local buyers are holding their cot
ton as is the good business man men,
toned above and the manipulators can
not get their clutches on it. In Som
erville little cotton is being offered and
We heac from over the county that the
same is the case. Farmers are not
willing to pu; their cotton on a de-
pressed market and take what is offer
ed for it. They have In most cases PAID
their debts and the cotton they now
have left is their very-own and they can
sell when they please or hold as long
as they please. And it is fortunate it
is. so. The distress cotton in this county
seems to be all about sold and the grow
ers are holding on to the remainder of
the crop till they get its worth for it.
The Government has announced that
cotton will begin moving overseas as
soon as ships are available which seems
will not be very long. and this will open
the markets of the old world which are
bare Of the staple. The cot
ton farmer has but to hold till the man
ipuIators see they cant get the crop and
they will receive the worth of every
bale. This may be good many weeks,
even several months but it is worth
holding.
