For The News. Our Georgia Letter. "Former Lancastrian" Endorses the Suggestion ol The News as to a County Fair?The Anti-L iquoi League also EndorsedOther Matters of Interest Mr. Editor: The big fair i? ?ver, the circus tins come and gone and tlit? immense crowds who attended the lair have re. turned to their homes, ieeling glad that they attended, excetil perhaps a lew who had their pocKels picked and were relieved ol some ol tlieir cash, etc., Circus day was the banner day tor the big crowds. Thousands and thousands crowded the s'roots in the morning, 'rubbering" to get, a peep at the t>ig parade. in the afternoon iliev made their "way to the fair grounds to take in the circus more fully. We think your suggestions, Mr. Editor, that Lancaster county have a lair is a good one. We believe it would he a fine thing tor Lancaster county to have a good county fair, and we just know they could have a good one A display of the farm products, garden products, poultry, stock, aiineral products, etc., of the county would be an advertise aieut and a rare treat to see and we Hope (hey will have oue next year. We notice that Mr. James Uamel has taken charge o 1 the Tabernacle school. Jim is a good fellow and fully competent and the Tabernacle people may expect to see their school flourish under his supervision. Of course, the people arcpleased with Tie News. It is an up to-date, splendid semiweekly paper and is bound to be popular in the county and outside the county, too. Cotton has reached 11 cts and ihe farmers who have held their notton are happy. The other follows are not so happy, that is the ones who have already sold. Still, the country generally, seems to be in a very prosperous rendition and the cry of hard jnnes is never heard. The tirade which Collier's Weekly is making against the patent medicine frauds is timely and well enough. They are at lacking the medicine concerns who spend thousand of dollars tor fraudulent advertising, causing people to believe they have all sorts of diseases, simply to sell their "great panaceas" and are annually robbing thousands of people. The antidiquor league will doubtless do lots of good in Lan caster county. We believe such an organization to be a step in flie right direction. Since the HPfiivla r\f t K a t ?

To t ho E.u in err-: Cotton is at last, playing around the 11 eenta price. I constatulate the farmers on the firin stand they have taken to de mand a better price for the ll^ecv if at a pie. 'i'iie bear faction have s used every effort. to depress ttie market lower, but they havej ; tailed. This crop will coat, prae dually 10 cents to grow it and we are entitled to a little profit, and 11 cents was little enough to fix the price. Many tanners telt they had to sell some ol their cotton; now that their debts are paid they are independent and I advise them to market the balance of this crop slowly, not ! selling any cotton lor less than I 1 1 cents. The farmers have won j the fight and proved to the world j that they can control ttie price ol cotton, and at the Bame time they are willing to be reasonable, ....a ; > A k.o.. i ci n aim juoi, ii ucnn pi for cotton means more prosperity tor the south, in which every southern man should be ready to take part. The doors of the Southern Cotton association were open to all to work tor their individual interest, which goes to the upbuilding of our country. The speculators have just roaliz ed that this cotton crop is short er than expected and that there will not te enough cotton to meet the demands ot actual consumption. Some say that it cotton goes up the nianulacturer will shut down. This they cannot do any more than you can stop farming or any other man can shut up business. Do not put your cotton at the mills to be u?ed unless you sell, for in doing this you are feeding the mills and lessening the demand. We have a good grade of cotton averaging over middling. Those of you who hold cotton for high er prices put it under shelter. You can insure it at your home 11 you desire. II there is not enough offered lor our cotton at home we can get it up in large lots and sell to exporters. The population o! the world is increasing and it lakes our cotton to clothe them. The brokers have sold all of our cotton to the manufacturers and npeculators, but the cotton is still in the hands of the farmer. So still stand to your guns. H. B. Tindal, Vice-President Southern Cotton Association, South Carolinina Division.
