25 CENT COTTON
BRINGS OPTIMISM
With Sumter Crop More Than
$4,000 Bales, But 5000 Bales
Remain On Hand

With cotton selling at its highest
figure since 1921, bringing % cents,
the general condition Of the market
is bearing out the prediction of those
observers who have declared that the

Sumter county, for with one of the
best corps in years, there is prac-
tically 5000 bales, old and new, left
here. The remainder of the 1922
crop and the bold-over cotton has
been nut con the market at prices
averaging from 10 to 25 cents.
The amount ginned to date is said
to be over 2t,000 bales and with
practically 1000 bales left to be ac.
counted for, it is predicted that the
crop will hit over the $4,000 mark.
This is 1000 bales more than the
conservative predictions in August
and is about 200O more than the op-
timistic predictions of that date.
There is less cotton on hand in

FINE RESPONSE
FROM LAYMEN
Big Congregation Attend Opening
Service Of Presbyterian
Revival

Two splendid congregations at
tended the opening meeting yester-
day Of the Bible conference which IS
being conducted this week at the
Presbyterian church.
The conference is in charge Of
Rev. George z. Guile Of the Moody
Bible Institute, Chicago.
Those who heard Dr.. Guile yester-
day were delighted with his simple
and easy manner and pleasing voice
and his rare knowledge and familiar
ity with the Bible which is so eVi-
dent in his preaching. There IS
nothing which approaches the sensa-
t;onal in his sermons. His every
statement is based upon and proven
by quotations from scripture. AS
the speaker himself said, we expect
to place the entire emphasis upon
Gods word during these meetings"
Beginning last night, DR.. Guile
continue to present, at the evening
hour, during the week the studies
on the general subject of "The EXal-
tation and Present Service Of
Christ" basing these studies on The
Epistle to the Hebrews, Those who
are interested in the systematic pre-
sentation of fundamental scriptural
truth by a man who knows his busi-
ness both by knowledge and wide
experience are urged to attend ev-,
cry one of these meetings.
At the morning hour the studies will
be. no less interesting and profitable
to all, though designed especially for
Christians.
Services will continued throughout
the week twice daily-at 10 in the
morning and in the evening.
The public is cordially invited.
Having heard Dr., Guile once, one
will surely hear hir}. again.
