which good cotton, which had been
carefully harvested, properly ginned
and cared for, and the carelessly har-
vested, rushed to the ginnery wet and

great as to startle those who follow
such slip-shod methods. believe it
will be almost impossible to sell cotton
this year of the extra short lengths
of staple; the trashy, low grades and
the maps and gin cuts. But the good
grades of good even staple will, in my
opinion, bring very good price be-
fore the season is very far advanced.

the most wasteful and, / might say,
the most destructive methods that can
obtain in handling the crop. Maps and
gin cuts are the result OF such han
ding and today that class of cotton
can hardly be handled at all. The
country is full of low grade cotton,
having accumulated on account of for
eign market conditions and from
which We can not expect any relief

Then, after peace is declared, whether
by adopting the league of nations

take a good while for the foreign

absorb the four years accumulation,
the majority of the off grades; maps
and gin cuts, being what is known as
export cotton On the other hand,
however, the better grades and es-
pecially the good, even one i and

for domestic consumption. Reports
all show that the markets are bare

RIVERS PREDICTS
VERY SHORT CROP
Low Grade COtton-Says Farmers
Should Use Care in Gathering Staple
Need Better Fabric.

J. Clifton Rivers, state warehouse
commissioner, believes South Caro-
lima will have the smallest cotton crop
that the State has produced in years.
''The crop is greatly over-estimated,"
Mr.. Rivers said in a statement yester-
day. The following is his statement:
"In the first place | wish to say
that in my opinion, from facts which
have lately come to my attention, the
crop is greatly over estimated. The
Western crop on account of the ad-
verse seasons during the first part of
the year is extremely late for that
part of the belt. The soil, during the
planting and terminating season, was
unusually dry and cold, resulting in
bad stands or none at all, until June
when the rains set in and the plant
from that time on has made an un-
usually luxuriant growth with low
percentage of bollS That kind of cot
ton is always misleading when judged
as to the output of production. In my
opinion, the crop in South Carolina
will be the shortest we have had i'll
years.
"The southern part of the state is
heavily infested with weevils, which
are playing havoc with the crop, hav-
ing practically destroyed all of the
August and September fruitage and
are now turning their attention to the
grown bolls. In the northern part of
the State the crop is from two to
three weeks late. The rains came eX-
cessively during the month of August,
which caused the plant to shed on the
sandy soils, and caused growth with
out fruit on the clay and heavier soils.
The immature bolls are opening on
the candy soils and the stalk is large
with the foliage great on the plants
of the heavier lands. This makes ap-
pearances, as far as actual production
is concerned, deceptive. This all
means that later in the season when
the true facts concerning the crop are
realized that those who have proper
ly handled the cotton from the field
to the gin will be in a position to COM
mand good and remunerative price
for their crops.
81 wish to sound this warning to
our farmers. Gather the cotton just
as fast as it opens if possible. Be
careful to get it picked with just as
little trash and foreign matter in it
as you can; house it or put under a
shelter when picked, and don't be in
hurry to get it ginned, for ginning
cotton right from the field is one of

Little Edwin, age seven, lives on a

for some time his fathers custom to
sell calves to a neighboring farmer

The other day little Edwin was in

neighbor, and tell him that a calf
would be ready for him the following
day, and that 1t was a "bun calf"
With an air of great Importance the
young farmer delivered the following

BUY AT HOME

Local merchants are constantly
complaining of the trade lost here
when people go to Trenton and
Philadelphia. They call attention to
the benefits indirectly gained by
local residents when they patronize
home industries, which is of course
true Money spent in Lambertville
and New Hope goes toward boosting
business. Big business is always a
benefit to every resident.
But the fact remains, and always
win remain, that people buy where
buying is most attractive-both in
price and quality.
Trenton merchants advertise as
much in local papers as do our own
merchants. Only one per cent. of
local merchants advertise. Then those
who lose business to Trenton and
Philadelphia complain Of it.
If man wants to sell his goods
he must tell the good points of his
merchandise to his trade. The time
is past when the scarcity of stores
made it possible for every merchant
to be known by every resident. A
man must tell WHY people should buy
his goods before people will buy
them.
In the meantime Trenton merchants
are telling the local public WHY they
Should buy Of them, and the convent
ence Of railroad, trolley and bus is
giving them lot Of business which
would otherwise stay at home.
1t is up to local merchants to make
their goods and prices ATTRACTIVE to
buyers. They cannot do that better
than by advertising. The increase in
business would quickly pay for the
insignificant amounts they pay for
advertising.
This paper has for a long time car
ried thru an advertising agency a lot
of outside advertising. These con-
tracts have just expired. Some of
them renewed without solicitation. 1t
has been decided not to solicit outside
advertising in the hope of stimulating
local advertising. We are going to
see how it works. If local merchants
hre still Indifferent we will go after
the outside merchants.

An interesting story from Munich
sets forth the imminence of new rev.
olution in Bavaria which is to make an
Independent state Of that second larg-
est state of the German confederation
and the creation of regency, proba-
bly, to be followed by the selection of
one of the Wittelsbach family as king.
1t is planned, also. that Bavaria shall
enter into an agreement with France
to guarantee her independence and OBJ
tain relief from her part of the Ger
man war burden. The story, which is
plausible, says the real ruler of Ba-
varia Is Doctor Escherich, founder of
the Bavarian home militia, whose
armed strength is about 100000; that
he Is backed by the former German
staff officers and monarchists, chief of
whom Is General Ludendorff, and that
Ludendorff probably would be chosen
regent. Escherich has refused to dis
arm his militia, an& 1t Is expected the
entente will soon threaten to occupy
the Ruhr basin In consequence. When
this Is done, according to the plot, the
workers, socialists and communists
will declare a general strike and In the
ensuing conflict the coup d'etat will
be accomplished.

Having crushed Baron Wrangel and
expelled him and his troops from the
Crimea, the Russian soviet govern
ment finds itself in good shape to re-
sumo negotiations for the resumption
of trade with other nations. And its
chances for recognition also are vastly
improved. Most governments realized
some time ago that Russian Bolshev-
ism was not to be destroyed by armed
opposition, especially from the out
side; and nearly all except France be-
lieved that 1t would be useless to give
aid to the factions within Russia that
were In rebellion against Lenine and
Trotzky. Even the leaders Of the
Menshivists and other wise opponents
of Bolshevism In Russia have long
maintained that position and asserted
that the best thing to do was to recog-
nize the Moscow government, or at
least let 1t alone, and that ultimately,
having nothing to fight, Bolshevism
must fall. 1t seems likely that this
view of the problem will now become
general.
