Cleveland Star (shelby), May 22:
When cotton reached 20 cents for few
days last. week many bales were Offer
ed by Cleveland county farmers, be-
cause they had grown tired of waiting
for q better price than prevailed since
last September They had set their.
pegs at 20 cents and the first time it
hit this spot, fully one thousand bales
were put ION the market. In the face
of poor crop prospects for this year,
cotton should be 90 cents or better and
it would not surprise US to see it go
higher, but there is profit in 20 cents
cotton and man never loses anything
by taking q profit. DIR. Robert Ell
lis Ware, leading citizen and promi-
nent dentist Of Cleveland county, died
at his home in Shelby about midnight
