mand the actual cotton and we shall
see the shorts do some tall scramb-
ling to cover. AS the spinners have
been out of the market for some time
we know they must either be very
|iong Of New York contracts or they
will have to close their mills.
"At the tremendous profits mills
are making and a cotton famine in
sight, do not think they will close
down. Don't sell a bale for less than
SO cents per pound. Now they say
that thenext government report will
be a very bearish report. We know
the condition report will be some
better than the last one, but it can
only be few points up to the',aver-
age June rs report for the last ten
wears which was 10. I hope every
spot holder will not be bear on the
market, but will be great big bull
and you will soon see the shorts come
to cover for cotton to fill spinnable
contracts which they have sold and
will soon be compelled to fill. There
is too much money in spring cotton
today for the mills to stop until they
are compelled to for the want of cot
ton.
'sI want to say to the spot holders
that they have the situation entirely
in their own hands. The spinners are
compelled to have cotton; as l have
said before there is not enough spin
nable cotton in the world to run the
mills for six months so, if the pro-
ducers of cotton will sit steady in
the boat and be bulls on the market
instead of bears, they can get their
own price.
"From the very best information
we can gather there is really not go
ing to be very much increased pro-
duction of food crops this year.
want to say to the farmers OF South
Carolina, those who have not diversi-
fed their crops to make their farm
self-sustaining; that it is not yet too
late for them to plant any of the
early varities of corn, such as Hlck-
ory King or any of Dent varieties.
You can still plant these varieties up
to July a, thoroughly preparing the
land and fertilizing it, working it
quickly and it will make good hard
corn by frost, Also the bunch speck-
led pea and black peas can yet be
planted and they will make good pay
ing crops. Any farmer who has to
buy food for himself or his animals
will pay the highest price next year
that he has yet paid for these commo-
dities. The man who is loking out
for low cost of living next year is
only fooling himself"

against it by it's opponents, it is
really surprising to note how the
citizens of the State as whole are
lining up in back of the new school
laws. 1t is generally recognized
that the Code is intended solely
for the purpose of bettering edu-
cational conditions in Delaware,
and no citizen of the State with
the welfare of Delaware boys and
girls at heart could consistently
continue to oppose such a bene-
fetal law. We are glad of this,
for it means that after many years

College Girls Produce
"The Bolshevixen''

"The The Bolshevixen, a Study
in Reds" was, the title of clever
movie in Z reels produced by Wo-
mems College students on Satur-
day evening.
The captions as we'll as the Gus
tomary advertising which pre-
ceedes every we'll regulated NOV
ing picture show were done by
Alice Lincoln Roop who also op-
Grated the moving picture machine
in the English room at Science
Hall where the show was put on.
Miss Dorothy Ford in the title
role was the embodiment of the
overtrained intellectual who "as
college graduate of course
doesn't read the newspapers" and
is obsessed with the idea of being
really "democratic." Ehe fails an
easy prey to the rantings of the
soap box orators whose experience
with soap ends with the box. Ka-
therine Stevens and Louise Phil
lips starred in the role Of Bolshi-
viks with unpronounceable names,
and the gift of CAB and of vitu-
perative gesture. Anne Van SAINT
as the wild enthusiast produced a
realistic effect with unique hair
arrangement. Anne Cahall, as the
lawyer who in spite of it was a
loyal American with aspirations
to the mayoralty, made decided
hit and Lillian Butz who as the
sister of the most ardent of the
Reds becomes Americanized
through the Mayors efforts, dis
played unusual dramatic ability.

to sit only for the time necessary
to ratify the amendment. The
Governor replied that this was not
in accord with his idea of justice,
that the expense of a session
would not deter him calling it
should he be convinced that it was
for the best interest of the State.
Should he change has mind at
any time," said Mrs. Ridgely, "our
offer to finance the session holds
good. With twenty six active aux
iliaries in the State we would have
no difficulty in raising sufficient
funds for this purpose. The wo-

IMMENSE CROWD TO
DISCUSS POLITICS
FOLKS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE
COUNTY HERE TO TALK COVER
THE SITUATIONS"

They are here today. The sturdy
yoemanry, the splendid peasantry, the
pride of the nation" the country
folk, the villagers, they are all in Co.
lumbia today. Ii anything the estie
mate of today's crowd made by The
Herald last week undershotfthe mark.
The folks commenced TO arrive at T
O'Clock this morning, and by o'clock
there were enough cars parked i'll the
city for big mule day and still they
came.
The folks were arriving by the car
loads until noon today. Not hamlet,
village, voting place or community in
the county was unrepresented in the
crowds. II did not look, to see the
streets of the city that Maury county
had lost any population the past ten
years. 1t was politics talking crowd.
Not long after man or party of mon
arrived they joined some group and
began to discuss the governors race
and the respective chances of victo-
ry for Roberts and Crabtree. Many
who had very little interest in the out.
come, declared that the county would
be close, but from general review of
the crowd and talks with men from all
sections it appeared that Roberts had
the lead.
The legislative fight, the most mix
ed and uncertain race known in long
time, came in for good deal of talk
IL vas pract cally impossible. to get a
line on this situation The board of
education contests in the third and
fourth, and fifth and sixth districts at
tracted some attention from the vot-
ers Of those districts.

SHERIFF RETURNS
WITH PRISONER
LOUD IN PRAISE OF TREATMENT
RECEIVED AT HANDS OF SHER-
IFF AT DETROIT.

Sheriff G. x. Houser has returned
from Detroit where he went for Claud
Norris, wanted in this county for de-
sertion of his wife and child Nor
ris is held in the Maury county Jail
under $500 bond,
Sheriff Houser gives most glowing
description of his trip to Detroit. He
says had he been the governor Of Ten
nessee he could not have been more
royalty entertained than while in the
Michigan city Mr.. Houser says the
first thing that happened to him Gle
was arrested and placed in jail by the
sheriff-tguartiyely of course, but he
was actually locked within the gray
walls of the Detroit prison house,
where sometimes as many as 400 are
confined at the same time.
Sheriff Houser says he was made
perfectly at home by the Michigan
sheriff, who according to Mr. Houser
EdraWS an anual salary oil Slo,000, nav
ing deputy who receives salary of
$4,000. Mr.. Houser says the sheriff's
automobile was placed at his disposal
and he was fitted from place to place

ROBERTS OPPOSITION
FAST is OWINDL|NG
MANY WHO OPPOSE HIS RE.ELEC.
TON WILL WAIT UNTIL NO.
VENEER TO VOTE.

After questioning number Of rep
resentative citizens from several sec
tions of the county this morning, con
corning interest now being taken in
politics, 1t was evident that the .oppo-
sition to Governor Roberts is, and has
been diminishing for some time, es
pecially so since the gocernor's mas
terful speech here, From expressions
obtained today it is believed that
many of those who actually oppose
the election Of Governor Roberts will
not go to the polls at all, but will re
main away, hoping that by so doing
he may be defeated in the regular No
vember election. Republicans in many
sections OF the county are active in
the interest of Candidate Crabtree, re
alizing that he would be easy pick
ms" for the silver tongued Jesse Lit.
Teton, who is almost sure to be re-
turned winner in the republican gu
bernatorial primary.
Interest in the legislative ticket is
beginning to warm up, but it is impos-
sible to predict just how the election
will 90. There will be many who will
support legislative candidates upon
purely personal and local reasons, who
will vote directly opposite in the gov
ernor's election. Local matters will
largely determine the nominations in
the legislative fight. All the candi-
dates were out today as busy as
switch engines, dishing out literature
by the handful, and shaking hands
with the deer peepul."
