Carolina Farmers
Are Holding Cotton
For Higher Price

CHESTER, S. c., Sept. 25.-Farm-
ers in this section of the state are
storing the greater part of their
cotton in warehouses and are await
ing the next government condition
report before placing it on the mar
ket, according to statements of bank
erS who have advanced loans on the
crop. More than usual interest is
attached to the forthcoming condi-
ton report, for much of the cotton
will have to be marketed by the
1st of October ~ order to repay
made in the spring for planting and
growing the cotton.
Many farmers of independent
means still have part of their 1918
cotton crop in warehouses, and de-
clare they will not sell until it goes
to 40 cents a pound. There appears
to be a general impression\ that the
next government condition report
will be bullish, and that the 35-cent
level will again be reached before
it will be necessary to put much of
the crop on the market.
General complaint of a scarcity
of labor is heard in spite of the
fact that higher wages than ever be-
fore are being paid. Emigration Of
negroes, who constitute the largest
part of the labor, to northern CEN
ters and the general increased de-
mand stimulated by the recent war
period are assigned as the causes
for this condition.
The continued dry, hot weather has
caused cotton to open much faster
than usual, and in many sections of
this state and North Carolina, the
greater part of the crop will be gath
cred by the early part of next
month

the event of the latter's resignation
ship. Announcement to this effect
has been made by Governor Dorsey,

according to a statement made by
him when appraised of the governors
intention.
Attorney General Walker has al
ready announced his candidacy for
the governorship. Others in the race

the legislature. These bills were not
disposed of and will come up again

gravity of the situation and the Sc
rious difficulty, not to say the impos-
sibility, of finding satisfactory So
luton, to the Fiume problem. They
do not want to use force against
Captain d'Annunzio, wishing to avoid
fratricida1 conflict, and it is said this
hesitation may be partly due to the
fact that troops ordered against the

Persuasion, It is said here, is use
less without agreeing to Captain
d'Ahntnzio's conditions-the annexa-

hinterland to italy proper. 1t is as
