COUNTY FAIR, OCT.
IL, 13, ID.

The Pickens county fair will be
held Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, October IL, 13 and ID. Plans
rae being made for street attrac-
tions, parades, stunts and elaborate
exhibits of farm crops, cattle, hogs,
poultry, household products, horses,
mules, relics and curios, etc., in
keeping with the best of fairs.
1t is the purpose of those interest
ed in the fair to have all exhibits to
tend towards some educational fea-
ture and to inspire to better farm
ing. President George Hendricks is
planning several attractive features
that have never been put on at a
fair in this state. He is asking for
meeting of the directors to be held
next Monday evening at z o'clock in
the Chamber Of Commerce room.
The meeting held last Saturday
afternoon at which Professors Black
well, Herman and LaMaster smoke
on how to select and prepare ex-
hibits was decided success. About
40 leading exhibitors were present
and were inspired to new enthusiasm
in getting up exhibits.
AS Professor LaMaster. who is in
charge of the organization of bull
associations in South Carolina, was
present that subject was brought up.
About twenty farmers expressed an
interest in association for the Easley
territory. Professor LaMaster stat
ed that there were thirty successful
associations in South Carolina and
that this was producing about 1900
good grade heifers year. This is
done by using purebrcd sires with
any kind of danes. 1t gradually
builds up the quality of dairy cattle
and surely leads to the eradication
OF the scrub and establishes the
purebred.

GOOD BOXING BOUTS IN GREEN.
WILLIE.

Greenville, S. c., Aug. 30.-The
most expensive boxing exhibition
ever arranged in South Carolina will
be held at the Textile Hall, Green
vile, the evening Of Labor Day, ac-
cording to an announcement made
today by Promoter j. j. McCrea, of
the Textile Athletic Club, in making
public some details of the all.star
card.
The feature bout will be ten
round battle to decision between
Luke Tanner, the best boxer in the
South for his weight, and Phil Lo
gan, stable-mate of Rocky Kansas
who was on the Kansas-Leonard
card in New York recently.
The semi-windup will also be q
corker and will press the main bout
for first honors. Larry Avera, the
blonde boxer from Walk Millar's
stable has been matched against At
Mccoy, of New Jersey, one of the
gamest and fastest leather pushers
that has ever appeared in the East.
1t will really be toss-up to de-
eide which bout will be the head
liner as all four principals are Jam
up first-wate boxers and have been
evenly matched.
a number of ladies have announc-
ed their intention of attending the
bouts. Since the Leonard-Kansas
benefit bout in New York recently,
which was sponsored by Mrs. Nor
gan, members of the gentler sex have
locked to the squared circle exhibi-
tlons and Greenvjlle will not fall be-
hind the Eastern cities in this re-
spect.
indications are that the all-star
card will draw the largest attendance
in the history Of Greenville boxing.
A percentage Of the proceeds will
go to the American Red Cross while
the Boy Scouts will receive the en-
tire proceeds of the program and
concessions.
Leno Sweet of Easley, is also
scheduled to meet Billy Pike, of At
lanta, in bout at the Grand Opera
House on Labor Day. This promises
to be one of the fascist bouts ever
seen in Grecnville as many people
will remember the Sweet-Vaughn
slugging match staged several weeks
ago.

GOOD REVIVAL. MEETING.

Last week it was my good fortune
to have with ne in my protracted
meeting at Keowee church, in Able
vile county, Rev. Ren G. Field, of
Greenville, who will be remembered
by our readers as Pickens county
boy. Bro. Field has been preaching
only few years, and to hear him
preach seems little short of modern
miracle. He is unionizer, logician
and orator, all in one. In fact, he is
great preacher, and if the Lord
shall spare his life for many years
he will doubtless stand in the ranks
of our leading preachers. The truth
is he is entitled to be there now.
For eight days the great crowds
came to hear this gifted young
preacher, and you could henr the
people on every side remark that
he was one of the best preachers
they had ever heard. We were for
tunate in having Profs. r. NJ. Bold
ings and j. II. higgins, both Of
Pickens to do the singing and they
charmed the people with their gospel
songs, The spirit of the Lord was
present and the church was greatly
revived. This Pickens outfit captur-
ed the Abbevlle people.
D. w. Hiott, Pastor.

SOME STRATEGY.

You don't have to go to West
Point for strategy. A negro preach
er in his pulpit one Sunday said he
had few remarks to make before
the collection basket made it's perig-
rination.
"Now, brethren and sisters" he
began, "there is just one brethren
here that is untrue to his church, un-
true to his Lord-and worst Of all,
untrue to his wife. Unless he puts
a five dollar bill into the contribu-
ton box | will be compelled to call
his name out"
When the BASKET had returned and
a recount had bcen made, the books
showed fofty-two five dollar bills and
a two dollar bill with note pinned
to it saying, 81 viii hand you the
other three in the morning. Please
don't give me away Ex.

the percentage declined from 38.7 to
29.3, and in the case of the native
white of native parentage from 1915

Tone Is w eak
In Irregular
Stock Market
Advance in Call Money Rate
to 8 p. c. Factor in Re-
straining Activity; For
eign Exchange Is Lower

Irregularity. with weak tone in the
industrial group. prevailed in the stock
market yesterday. After fiuctuating
without definite trend during most
of the day, quotations moved down
ward late in the afternoon, when the
rental charge for call money rose from
z to per cent, the highest rate since
February s.
The tightness of call money in the
last few days has been one of the re-
straining influences on the stock mar
ket, which remains largely under the
sway of professional speculators, with
the public interest still at relatively
low cbb. The scarcity of call funds
bears no significant relation to the gen.
eral credit situation, in which funds
are becoming easier as liquidation goes
on and frozen loans are thawed out.
But as the credit position of mem
Der banks improves they keep reducing
their Indebtedness at the Federal Re-
serve banks, and the total volume of
credit in existence is contracted. Thus
the fundamntal easing Of credit is not
reflected at the money desk at the
Stock Exchange, where only the odds
and ends of the money supply flow. The
high rates yesterday, for example, were
not in response to any heightened de-
mand, but to a curtailed supply. After
the demand was met, it was reported
that fresh funds became available and
could find no borrowers.
The temporary tightness in the call
loan market is attributed to first of
the month disbursements, the govern
ment Withdrawals and less directly to
transfers of funds in connection with
the German reparations payments. AS
matter of fact, the New York banks
themselves are lending relatively little
at the Stock Exchange. The reservoir
is filled to large extent with the
offerings from brokers, from private in
dividuals and from out of town banks.
Weakness in the stock market first
manifested itself in few stocks only
anu tHeu spTedu W HAoSe VI thS AlouS
trials. The steels, the sugars, the ship
ping shares and several specialties,
such as Corn Products and United
States Industrial Alcohol, were special
objectives of selling maneuvers.
Despite reaction early in the day
the forward movement in the wheat
market persisted, with net gains of ga
cents bushel. On the early decline,
export buyers came into the market
and general buying followed. Corn
quotations were firm, too, bnt cotton
closed slightly easier again.
The European exchanges IN an IN
active market slumped. Dealers re-
ported light bidding for foreign units.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-03
Liberty Bonds Weak

Weakness of Liberty Loan issues in
yesterdays market was associated with
the announcement Of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York. that begin
ming July / advances to member banks
against such paper will be limited to
the market value of the securities,
whereas UP until recently par has been
the lending basis. This development
no doubt tended to emphasize the ex-
tent of the depreciation that has oc-
Cured in the government war issues,
although it was made clear by the
bankers that action to change the lend
ing policy of the Reserve institutions
on Liberty bonds was first taken sew
eral months ago, when loans which
matured were renewed on the new
basis. The Liberty 31ss, the tax ex-
empt issue, sold at the exchange at sc,
a decline of 81 points from the closing
price of the previous day. At this fig
ure, which is the lowest the bonds have
ever sold at, the 31as show deprecia-
tion from par of $140 per $1,000 bond.
Before the close yesterday they rallied
to 1870, where they showed only a
small fractional net loss. The second
AIS dropped from 1892 to 86.72, the
third ANS from 90.54 to 90.40, the
fourth 4As from s6.s2 to 1888, and
the Victory Ans from 98.16 to 9S.06.
In every case recoveries occurred be-
fore the close which made up sub
stantial portion of the ground lost
New-York tribune., 1921-06-03
Copper Sales Abroad Less

The export demand for copper, which
has been the sole support of the mar
ket for the last few weeks, has shown
material curtailment because of the re-
cent fall in sterling exchange and the
higher prices quoted by the Copper
Export Association. Large producers,
however, continue optimistic because
of the greatly diminished production.
According to the Engineering and Min
ing Journal, copper production dropped
from 90,000,000 pounds in April to 49,
100000 in May, practically SO per cent,
and further reduction is expected in
June, when curtailments will be more
complete. The larger producers are
asking 1850 cents a pound delivered
for June copper, and threaten to raise
the quotation as soon as business of
any magnitude develops.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-03
Syndicates to Bid on Issue

Three large banking syndicates have
been formed to submit bids on the
Sal 100000 issue of New York State S
per cent serial gold bonds to be sold
by the State Comptroller on June 9.
Of the issue S20,0O0,00o are highway
bonds, s5000,000 for the acquisition of
lands for the state forest preserve,
$780, 900 for the construction of barge
canal terminals and S10,00o,000 for the
payment of the bonus to soldiers in the
World War. Much difference Of opin-
ion exists in investment quarters re-
garding the impending flotation. Some
of the banks do not think the bonds
will be sold by the late at more than
a narrow fraction over par. Others
are inclined to believe they will bring
better than 101. The old outstanding
New York State 4Ass are selling at
present on a basis of about 4.60, while
the 3s have changed hands recently on
about per cent basis. The tendency
is toward per cent, general market
level for bonds of thss characte-. bond
men say, and yesterday some City of
Schenectady bonds, maturing 1884 to
1941, which were recently offered on a
4.S5 basis, were marked down to a fat
5 per cent basis

American Locomotive

The American Locomotive Company
IS one of the few industrial concerns
that has kept it's war earnings in liquid
form. It's balance sheet as of Decem-
Der 81, last, showed cash and foreign
securities of $16,777,000, compared with
total current liabilities Of S11 10000.
Receivables of $17,132 900 were consid-
cred high but are understood to have
since been reduced by the receipt of
sums due from the railroads. Working
capital was s37,318,000, equivalent TO
about $50 share on the common stock
after allowing par for the preferred.
Earnings for the first quarter of 1921
were estimated to have covered all diyi-
dend requirements, although operations
We're at substantially reduced rate.
1t Is believed that results for the sec
ond quarter will be poor, but interest
receipts alone should cover preferred
dividends.

American Sugar

Widespread rumors of impending
new financing by the American Sugar
Company were held responsible in part
yesterday for the sharp break N the
stock of the company, which sold down
to 801s, the lowest price since 1894.
The stock closed at 5oA, for net de-
cline of points. The story of new
financing was not new, as it has been
in circulation on other occasions in re-
cent months. The bankers who are
identified with the company disclaimed
knowledge of plans for borrowing and
denied there had been any negotiations

Expect Gold From Argentina

Argentina is expected shortly to join
the countries Of the world that are
pouring gold into the United States in
steady stream. Legislation to remove
the embargo on gold exports from Ar
the metal at Buenos Ayres is reported
in cable advices to have been intro
duced into the Congress of that coun-

With the enactment Of such legislation

Of gold would be lifted, and as the ex-
