GOES BACK TO TRIBUNE

Capt. T. F. Pruett, who came to
Abbeville sometime ago to take po-
sition with The Press and Banner,
has decided to return to Anderson
where he will again assume the edi-
tors chair in the office of the Tri-
bune. Mr.. Cheshire found after Mr..
Pruett had left him that his place
could not be easily filled, and made
him an offer which Mr.. Pruett felt he
could not turn down.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pruett have made
many friends in Abbeville since their
coming here, and these friends will
regret that their stay in Abbeville
will be so short, but they are glad to
know that better things are coming
to them.

THE COTTON MARKET

The bottom dropped out of the
cotton market today, futures going
the limit, and closing two hundred
points down. The causes of today's
depression as given at the local
cotton office are "better weather in
the interior, unfavorable trade re-
ports, fear of coal strike in Britain,
and unfavorable political news from
Europe"
Today's cotton letter issued by g..
and B. Beer has the following to say
of the situation:
"Liquidation was in evidence all
morning, becoming more pro-
nounced during the closing hour of
the session, the numerous stop loss
orders being uncovered on the scale
down.
i London advices are to the effect
that although the miners are voting
in favor of strike in many districts
are solidly opposed and leaders of
other unions now have taken a
hand in demanding the miners con-
suit them before plunging the coun-
try into the conditions that a strike
would cause.
Because of the absence of an ur-
CERT demand for spots, especially in
Texas where receipts are heavy,
Southern markets were depressed
again today, Houston reporting the
situation there as weak. Compared
with last year receipts at Houston
Texas, the past ten days were &c.
600 bales VS.. 10000 last year."
The American Cotton Association
has issued an urgent appeal to the
farmers to hold part of their crop
and sign an agreement to cut the
acreage next year.

rumored that number of mills in
that section may close next week
and that curtailment will continue
we'll into the latter part of Septem-
ber. The possibility of coal strike
in Great Britain would be so serious
that it's very suggestion affected
prices in the nervous state now ex-
isting. The improved outlook for the
crop has caused many to fear, not
only the effect of early receipts but
raised a doubt whether the con-
sumption of thirteen million bales
or more is possible, and any fact
that would curail consumption for
even few weeks might have the
effect of weakening the market for
a long period.
From many sources we are hear.
ing of the difficulty of borrowing
money. If this situation exists now
what will it be when the movement
is heavy? If merchants of standing
cannot get accommodation what will
the small borrower-the man with
out strong banking facilities-be
able to do? One of two things sell
at such prices as he can obtain, or
refuse to sell in. which case he
could not liquidate his debts to mer-
chants. In the latter event, the mer-
chant will have to carry weight
that may prove unfortunate.
Growth conditions range from
slight deterioration to good pro-
gress, according to the weekly Gov
ernment weather report, and it is
confidently believed that the per-
centage decline during this Au-
gust will be smaller than is usually
the case and that the condition as
of August 25th will indicate a crop
in excess of thirteen million bales
exclusive of linters. Private re-
ports received so far, indicate a con-
dition slightly above the ten-year
average which is 6S.2 per cent.
Until demand broadens or money
becomes easier, it is hard to see
what will sustain the price of cot
ton. Of course, we must not view
the crop as made by any means.
Equinoctial storms may reduce the
yield over large areas and an early
frost reduce the present expected
out-turn by thousands of bales. At
the moment, however, these future
possibilities are looked upon as
bridges to be crossed when reached
and the feeling today is that a crop
fully as large as the world can con-
sumo will be raised, and that for the
present, the demand is almost nil.
Yours very truly,
Springs & Co.

Another editorial of the Press and
Banner in one Of last weeks issues
pleases another good man. His re-
marks show that we have our weather
vane pointed in the right direction.
Here is what he says:
Columbia, S. c., Aug. %, 1920
Mr.. W P Greene,
Abbeville, S. C.
Dear Mr.. Greene:
Nothing has given me more pleas
ure in a political way than the peru
sal of your editorial on the senatorial
race. 1t went to the core of the mat
ter and discussed it in a sane and
sensible way. Instead of a paid ad-
vertisement, the press of the State
could readily have given it the widest
publicity and done so with entire
safety to the cause of good politics
and getting a fair expression at the
polls with the truth thus set forth as
was so admirably done in your edi-
torial.
Yours truly,
W. B. HOUSEAL.

ASKS ASSISTANCE
OF AUTO DEALERS
Commission Wants Sales OF Cars
Reported

Columbia, Aug. 29.-State high
way officials have begun a new eff
fort to check up license violators in
South Carolina. The scheme was de-
vised by Secretary Thomas and is
merely the reporting of sales by
every dealer in the state to the
highway commission.
Mr.. Thomas has addressed a let
ter to every automobile dealer in
the state asking the firm to cooper
ate with him in the endeavor to
stop the violating of the automobile
license law by reporting the sales of
the cars by the. various companies
each day: The plan is. se ;hsye these
reports mailed in to~the commission
on postal cards furnished the deal
ers and then if the purchaser does
not apply for q state license in the
proper time the highway officials
will be in q position to see where
the trouble lies.
Mr.. Thomas said yeserday that he
was very much in hopes that he
would receive the cooperation Of
the firms in South Carolina and
addeds,that he thought he wouf. 1t
will be q long step forward in stop
ping the violators Of the law, he
believes.

Selling during the early part Of

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Last week we had an editorial on
the entrance requirements in the col
leges of the State, including the de-
nominational colleges. The editorial
has the commentator of one of the
greatest educators the state has ever
had, as will be seen fro ma perusal
of the following letter:
Due West, S. c., Aug. %, 1920
Dear Mr.. Greene
+ wish to commend you for the
fine editorial on requirements for
admission to college. I have just
read it in the last issue of The Press
and Banner. You may not know how
much pressure is brought to bear on
colleges in the effort to get students
admitted. Some people say, "Just
let them in even if they are not pre-
pared. What difference does it make?
They are good boys and for that rea-
son they ought to be admitted.
President Wilson said when he was
at Princeton, eff the Arch-angel Mi
chael should apply for admission and
not be able to stand the examination,
/ would not admit him" Of course
as long as students are admitted
without being prepared, there will be
no stimulus to the schools at home
to prepare them, and good home
schools will not be established. Then,
besides this disadvantage, if our col
leges do not adopt and maintain real
college standards as compared with
the standards of 9th other states, our
diplomas will be discredited, and
our graduates discredited as compar-
ed with the graduates of other
states. It is so easy for people to
sympathize with the idea of low STAN
dards that they need to know what
are the consequences of such stand

dards that they need to know what
are the consequences of such stand
ards. You will be doing a fine work
if you throw more light on the sub
ject.

written over your signature. The
dope amounted to $40 900, Just = little
difference Of $4,000: Some differ
ence. You have padded the figures
practically DOUBLE All right. -
Now for.lt the next statement: You
personally used about $50 worth of
this poison. All right, Mr.. Shea.
Tho county treasurer of sEmmons
county told me that, on your quarter
you paid $5.1s of this 'grasshopper
fund. Therefore if you used $50
worth Of thesbran, ete;;; you used just
about; six times as much as you paid
for. So, some of the rest Of the
taxpayers dug up $24. against your
S. so you could spend $50 worth.
That kind of distribution of expense is
no doubt highly pleasing to you, r,
Now, about your hail tax. You say
yor had insurance on 100 acres OF
crop that would have cost you SIS.
You are again Mistaken for the ea-
son that the hail companies insured
you much more than the state did, and
the hail company couldn't hold your
money until the next year If you had id
loss. Those things count in dol
lars and cents in the business world.
e So; your letter meant to influence
Minnesotasfarmers, did not state facts,
and swas misleading. We do not say
that you purposely tried to mislead
them. y We believe yer, didn't know
theHfacts, and had believed some one
else who had lied to you, to explain
your high tax.
Now, for the last paragraph of the
Latter. Doesn't the advise to the ST.
Cloud business man sound like 4 Boil
shevik speech? First Of all, how does
Mr.. Shea know the business man men,
toned can get a buyer without giving
the land away? Does Mr.. Shea want
to fix things so as to force other peos
pie to lose their investment because
|lof excess taxes? Doesn't, Mr.. Shea
show unwarranted hatred towards
lsome unnamed business man just be-
cause that man is in different line
of business than himself. If the
Bolsheyiks get control of North Da5;
kota and confscate Mr.. Shea's pros
perty, as they are doing with property
in Russia, will Mr.. Shea enjoy bavine
some good Bolshevik tell him that il
he doesn't like 1t he can get out? 80
And, about the soldier boy. Mr..
Shea, if you are patriotic, why not
sell your land to a soldier boy your
self. If you are willing to sacrifice
enough on it, as you evidently want
the St. Cloud business man to do, you
will No doubt find plenty Of soldier
boys to buy it. Maybe North Dako,
