Considerable Cotton Sold.
The recent advance in the price of
cotton has released to the market
considerable quantity Of cotton in this
community which has been held in
storage for several months past, and
the buyers and weighers have been
kept quite busy.
The community generally is display
ing great interest in the possible can
didacy Of Col. Thomas b. Spratt for
lieutenant governor Of South Carolina
and while there has been but little
publicity generally in the matter, tele-
grams and letters from interested
friends Of Col. Spratt from many sec
tions of the state have been received
in the past few days, urging that he
make the race.
Col. Spratt, who is president OF the
First National bank of Fort Mill, an
institution which he established i
years ago and which has been most
successful, is we'll known throughout
the state, especially through his con-
nection in the World war with the
Thirtieth Division, serving as lieuten-
ant colonel of the One Hundred mad
Eighteenth infantry and commissioned
as colonel. He has always been deep
; " interested in the welfare of his COM
munity and state, and his friends be-
lieye that he would make n splendid
president of the senate, and that the
, state generally would profit through
his active interest in her political af-
: fairs.
Col. Spratt is at present in Charles
+ ton. w. Va, where he is in attendance
as a commissioner from Bethel presby-
terry to the general assembly or the
Southern Presbyterian church, and 1t
is not possible to get from him at this
| time an expression of his intentions.

y attracted a great number of music
