Observers in Japan evidently feel

We hear considerable complaint
from some farmers and business
men that our cotton market is low-
err than that offered in adjoining
towns. While we haven't made a
comparison of the markets, we are
sure that some of the statements
being made as to what cotton is
bringing chew here are extrava
gant, and that most of this talk
of “ foreign *1 inflated prices is
hearsay. Clinton has always main
tained a good reputation aj^a cot
ton market and few towns have of
fered higher prices than those of
fered here. But if the~charge~is
true—jt’s a bad indictment against
our -town. Nothing will hurt a
town or community more than a
depressed cotton market, as com
pared with other places, and no
factor will drive business elsewhere
as quick as this very fact.
Big business is headed this way
this fall and our merchants and
various business enterprises have
prepared for their customers’
wants by putting in the largest
stocks they have ever offered. With
cotton on the incline as at pres
ent, big business is sure to come
and a strong cotton market is very
essential if we are to reap the bene
fits to which we are entitled. If
cotton is bringing better prices in
neighboring towns than right here
at home, of course no one can be
blamed for selling his Olihton cot
ton elsewhere and we might as
well Mok this business proposition
in the face, if the accusation is
y <
true.
ProspAnty is headed our way. It
is unbusinesslike to let any of it
get away from this section and find
its way to some surrounding town.

Wilhelmshaven, the great base fort
ress of the German navy, is to be
converted into private commercial uses,
with Its proud national distinction and
formidable power gone forever. Its
passing is another Illustration of the
result of the German attempt to
dominate the world.
Another way of. looking at the vt-
dous circle Is this: Defective distri
bution encourages diminished produc
tion, and diminished production height
ens the rewards of defective distri
bution. Therefore the law of supply
and demand Is not permitted to oper
ate naturally.
Chappells, Sept. 20.—The return of
Lieut. William Osce Coleman from ov-‘
erseas was today made the occasion of
a fitting celebration at the home of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Pope
Coleman. The young soldier came ov
er as a member of the party with Gen
eral Pershing, participated in the 'New
York and Washington parades and ar
rived at the old home here yesterday
evening at 8:50 o’clock. He was given
a warm welcome which culminated in
a banquet today.

a state of war. He lost an arm In
