THE COTTON MARKET

Good middling 26 1-3 cents.
NEW YORK FUTURES.
Close Open G

The first fruits of the farmers cot
ton holding and acreage reduction
movement seem to be at hand. The
market saw a substantial rise today
for the third consecutive day, spots
rising half cent and March option
advancing II points on the New York
exchange. That month did not drop
during the entire session below the
opening quotation of % cents, and
closed at 1870, the high point for the
day. Other months scored advances in
proportion.
It has been contended by advocates
of the farmers movement that as soon
as the SPECTATORS begin to believe the
farmers meant business that cotton
would advance, because the farmers
have the complete control of the mar
ket in their hands, if they bat use
their power. The developments of the

Sumter Farmer
Finds Best Way
To Beat Packers

~ P STACKHOUSE has discov-
IN cred a way to beat the pack
ers. 1t is to make your own meat,
instead of selling your hogs on the,
hoof and buying back at a high
price the bacon you will need on
your farm.
Last week l killed hog of 45O
pounds live weight" said Mr.. Stack
house "It weighed, when dressed,
382 pounds. When trimmed the
hams weighed 80 pounds and the
shoulders "a pounds. The sides
with the ribs and backbone left on,
weighed T60 pounds. The latter
on the day 1 butchered were selling
at 80 cents a pound Figured at
this price, the sides alone were
worth only $3.50 less than the en-
tire amount l could have sold the
whole hog for, live weight, and l
had the hams and shoulders
weighing 184 pounds, left"
Recently Mr.. Stackhouse killed
hogs weighing 1000 pounds ag-
gregate, and nine weighing 5000
pounds, all fattened on peanuts and
sweet potatoes, and without peck
of corn"

MAJOR COMING
FROM CAPITAL
TO LOOK OVER
SITUATION HERE
Trip Regarded as Having Special
Significance in Connection With
Future Plans.

Major Moulthrop, of the operations
division of the general staff at Wash
ington, will very soon visit SoutheE
Field, it is understood, in connection
with the future plans of the federal air
service This is said to be special
trip, and not one of general inspection
of flying fields.
This information, while not given
out officially at Souther Field is au-
thentic, and is regarded in circles that
have been quietly at work to have
Souther Field retained as a permanent
aviation post, as having considerable
Importance looking toward the contin-
uation of the post.
At the time the order came in De-
cember ordering reduction in the
personnel at Souther Field it was
stated in Washington that the order
had no bearing whatever on the future
of the post, as the air policy Of the
government had not yet been deter
mined. It was explained merely thass
because of the ending of the war it
was desirable to stop training Cadets
and work here was consequently sus-
pended Since then officials have BEEN
busy in Washington trying to arrive at
a definite program, looking to the fu-
ture of the service 1t is said that az
least several of the training posts win
be maintained as peace time institu-
tions, and those on the inside believe
that the chances of Souther Field be-
ing selected for one of them are more
than even.

BABY'S SCREAM
PARALYZED HIM.
ASSERTS WEEKS

The baby screamed as the car hit
it-and l was paralyzed. / couldn't

stop"
With these words j. NJ. Weeks,
Americus' veteran taxicab driver,
whose car last Monday hit Mrs W. M.
Harper and baby of Sgt. and Mrs.
Jim Davies, when it ran onto the
sidewalk at the artesian well corner,
injuring Mrs. Harper and smashing
the baby carriage, this morning in Re-
corder's court told his version of the
accident. His story was so straight
forward and that of his witnesses so
convincing that there had been no
recklessness on his part, that Recorder
Fort dismissed the charge of reck-
less driving against him.
Mr.. Weeks recital of the accident
story was pathetic. He is a man wide
ly known for his tender heart and love
for children-and humanity in gem

the details to the place where the baby
