SPOT COTTON SELLS
HIGHEST SINCE 1866

Raw cotton continues to advance
and all cotton goods are showing
an upward tendency. Speaking
of the market conditions, ID. f. G.
Reeves of j. s. Reeves & Co. said
Friday: "You have doubtless no.
ticed that March cotton sold last
Tuesday at 1918 cents the highest
futures ever sold for in America,
and spot cotton sold at 1926 cents,
the highest since 1865.
"This, of course, adds strength
in the market today. Buyers are
surprised at the scarity of desirable
merchandise. A buying move
ment, which is looked for, will still
further strengthen the market.
"Good spring weather will un-
doubtly swell the retailers sales,
and In turn the jobbers. The job
ber, of necessity, is compelled to
buy staple goods several months
in advance, in order to have mer-
chandise. They have been ad-
vanced since last week of J to l
cent in many leading staples in
dry goods"

GONE TO HER
LAST REWARD

Mrs. Patford, wife of Gillespie
Pafford, passed away at an early
hour Sunday at their home on the
Camden and Liberty Road, after
being i'll several weeks. Mrs.
Pafford had not been in good health
for several years. Following an
attack of measles a short time ago,
she contracted influenza aud was
never able to ralley from the rava-
ges of this dread disease.
Mrs. Pafford was member of
the nj. e. Church, South, and was
a good Christian woman. She was
devoted to her children and her
life was one of sacrifice in their
behalf. She loved the church, and
until her health gave way she was
always ready and willing to aid it
by being present at the services
and by admonishing those about
her to make peace with God. She
heard the voice, "come unto me-
ard rest" and being very weary of
Affections of life, was glad to go.
Funeral services were held Mon
day afternoon, conducted by Rev.
G. j. Cermon, aud the internment
was at Liberty

been one-half as inefficient in max

has been in making peace, the
boys of America would still be dy-
ing the fields of France, said Mr..
Garrett. He arraigned Congress
for it's waste of time and money in
investigating subjects that have
already been worn threadbare and
for failing to give serious atten-
tion to pressing public problems.
The House was about to begin,
the dictation of the Republican
Steering Committee, another full
day of debate upon the report of
one of the subcommittee of the
select war investigating committee.
Over the protest of Democratic
members, the majority had order

SA WINGS STAMPS ARE
GODSEND TO PEOPLE

Atlanta, Ga, &, March "Sav-
ings Stamps have been a Godsepd
to the people," said Boiling II.
Jones, Postmaster, at Atlanta.
'"ln completing the payment for
homes bought. in meeting the ex-
penses-of sickness and in paying
the school expenses Of boys and
girls at high schools aDd'oolleges,
Savings Stamps have done Won
ders," continued Mr.. Jones.
This was found to be true all
over the United States daring the
first Influenza epidemic during the
fall of 1918 and has been equally
so this year during the trying
weeks-of' January and February,
when our second influenza epidem-
ic came on, causing so much sick
ness and expense to the people.
In Atlanta, where ten thousand
young men and women are at COL
lege orin technical schools, hun
dreds of them have been able to
pay their way largely with Saw,

months. Dhus the saving habit is
helping to educate worthy boys

attendance is four times as large
as it was fifteen years ago, although.
there is no such increase in popu--

In the meantime the same Thrift
in the purchase of Savings Stamps
has helped hundreds, of people to
acquire homes and complete the
