Under conditions az they existed a

can be ginned.
As to how those Chester people are
coming out with their creamery propo-
sition, the Yorkville Enquirer Is not
prepared to make any predictions; but
the thing is we'll worth a trial. With
the right management the creamery
can be made to pay.
A picnic at Ogden is very suggestive
Of big family reunion. 1t Is not to be
understood that blood relationship ex-
lists to that extent; but the folks are as
much at home with each other as are
members Of family. And as for out
side visitors who do not belong in the
neighborhood, why they feel just like
the rest of them.
Although September is notoriously
dullest month Of the year, this Septem-
ber promises TO be an exception. Cot
ton Is opening with unusual rapidity,
and the cotton pickers are busy. While
most people who have cotton in the
warehouses are content TO let 1t stay
there for the present, 1t Is reasonably
certain that much of the present crop
will go to the market as rapidly as 1t
Contract cotton opened in New York
this morning abput 120 points above
Fridays close There was no market
Saturday or yesterday on account or
Labor day holidays. A local dealer
said this morning that II there was
anything offering, new cotton ought to
bring slightly over 19 cents and old
cotton should bring slightly over ~
cents. He also expressed the opinion
that as a general thing new cotton
will go on the market as. fast as
ginned, while those who have old cot
ton will continue to hold on to 1t.
So sudden and marked has been the
deterioration in the condition OF cotton
throughout this section during the past
week that there is pretty general be-
lief that another condition report this
month would show decline OF 10 or II
per cent additional, as compared with
Augilst The deterioration Of the past
week Is commonly attributed TO the
unusually hot, dry weather under
which fresh, green cotton leaves have
wilted and shriveled up as if scalded.
The vigorous growth has been sudden
ly checked and in addition TO that there
Is fear that with the migration or the
recently Matched boil weevils late
squares and small bolls will be de-
stroyed to a disastrous extent.
The public remembers that from
time to time last spring it would hear
of some fellow who had borrowed
money at the bank on warehouse re-
ceipts, give expression to the unworthy
suggestion that "since the value OF MS
cotton has gone below the amount OF
his debt, he is no longer interested;
that the bank can take it," OF course
nobody paid any attention to this kind
of people except to remember them, for
where they denied moral obligation ar
eument was useless. Now these same
people have become interested again
and without exception they are beg
ging the banks to hold their cotton on
and on so rs to give them as much
margin as possible. But where such
people are still expecting consideration
they are showing themselves to be
even more foolish than they were last
spring.
