ported.
AS the new crop pours in cotton
men generally adhere to their pre-
vious estimates made just before the
picking began In earnest. The most
general estimate was that the
crop in Sumter county would total
about half of last years yield, or
between $4,000 and $4,000 bales.
1t is confidently expected that a price
of 80 cents can be obtained for prac-
tically all of it-or price based on
80 cents for good middling. The Of
fer at this time, however, is consid-
erably below that figure for new cot
ton.
Opinion is general that the excel
sive rains through almost the entire
planting and growing season damag-
ed cotton more than the weevils, and
that considerably more cotton would
have been made had there been a
normal growing season. 1t is gen
orally believed, also, that practical
ly every bale grown this year will
have been ginned and in the ware
house by October Is this year. 1t
is said practically the entire crop is
is opening now and will all be picked
within a shot time.
Il look for crop of somewhere
around $4,000 or $4,000 bales" said
T. G. Hudson, former commissioner
of agriculture, who is weighing at
L. G. Councils warehouse. Il think
the acreage, which was to have been
reduced a third has been increased
about 10 per cent in this county.
This will give us a little more cot
ton than otherwise. 1t is the man
who has fertilized his crop we'll who
is hardest hit this year, for the small
stalks are the ones which have made
the bulk of our cotton"
While the last statement of Mr.
Hudson concurs with the opinion of
mani planters, there are some eX-
ceptions. The cotton on the farm of
Charles L. Ansley, south of Ameri-
Gus, is probably as rank in growth
as any in Sumter county, and Mr.
Ansley says he will have fairly
good crop of cotton. 81 believe my
cotton will make as well as the best
in the county," said he.
The general crop, despite the wet
weather, is said by cotton men to be
of good quality, and to have dried
out so that no trouble is now being
experienced in ginning as was re-
ported ten days ago,

from almost every flag station on

looked as though Kearns really meant
to put the champion back in the ring,
in the very near future. But Mackay
could not pin him down to anything.
The only indication of fight from
Dempsey quarters came when mention
was made of Fred Fulton. Kearns said
the champion would fight the Mime

him-eyen il 1t was on the street.

BY RUBBING WITH LINZ
MENTS AND ONT
MENTS

/. II you are one of the many
thousand victims of torturing
Rheumatism. make up your
mind today that you will aban-
don your efforts to rub the dis
ease away with liniments, To-
tons, ointments, and local ap-
plications. Such treatment by
itself is not only futile and de-
void of results, but is waste
of time, during which the dis
ease is getting a firmer hold on
your system.
rheumatism is a stubborn
disease. 1t is not Oh the sur
face, therefore you must not
expect to be able to cure it
with remedies applied to the
surface. No one ever yet eff
.fected a permanent cure in this
way, so why should you con-
tinue to suffer while relying
upon treatment that has failed
III thousands of cases?
The experience of others af-
flicted with Rheumatism is
your best guide, and by follow
ing their advice you can not
only save yourself untold suf-
fering, but rid yourself of a
disease that will eventually
wreck your body and leave YOU
helpless. Almost every victim
of Rheumatism has practically
the same experience. They are
so impressed with the pains
and suffering of the disease
and are so anxious to get rid
of them that they have treated
the pains alone and overlooked
their cause. They have rubbed
with liniments, lotions, and
ointments in an effort to get
temporary relief, with no
chance of doing themselves
any permanent good.

MAKING ATHLETES
OF ALL STUDENTS

Those who object to college athletics
base their adverse opinions on the the
DRY that such games as baseball and
football reproduce the gladiatorial
combats of Rome. a few over-trained
performers doing the work and giving
their health and strength in the arena
while the populace occupies the grand
stand and holds thumbs down.
Such critics have pointed to the
Splendid example of ReeG college in
Portland, which since its establish
ment in 1910, though heavily endowed
and well able to support winning ath-
letfc teams, has never permitted inter-
collegiate athletics, preferring inter-
class games and encouraging partici-
patton by as many undergraduates as
possible.
The announcement has recently been
made of radical change in policy at
Reed, which will enter intercollegiate
sports this year. Its ''intramural"
method heretofore has given a large
number of students opportunity to be
on the different teams and practic-
ally every student has taken part in
the various sports. The new policy
will permit games with other COL
leges, but still only those students who
have become prominent in the inter-
class games will be used on the COL
lege teams.
Harvard in the East has adopted an
athletic policy similar in effect though
not administered in the same way as
Reeds. Harvard is to have compul-
