COTTON TO DOING I HUNDRED A BALE.: t REPRESENTATIVE HEFLIN PRE* il DICTS TWENTY CENTS PER b POUND FOR COTTON. 0 Washington, October 17:?Cotton 0 g at more than $100 a bale is predict- ^ ed by Representative Heflin of Ala- . bama in a statement issued from his office. Mr Heflin says that the cotton ? * - ^i - ?,;ii holding movement in ineouuui w... become general and that prices will soar, all on account of the fact that < the war is using cotton faster than it can be produced. He declares that the cotton crop for this year will not be over 10,000,000 bales ^ and that the domestic consumption ii will account for but 2,000,000 bales 8 and that 2,000,000 bales will fall 8 v short of the foreign needs. He de- y clares that already this year more c than 9,000,000 bales of cotton have been exported. * "Cotton will be higher than at ^ any time since the War Between the j Sections," said Mr Heflin. "Ger- 1; many is already in the Southern e market buying and storing cotton * for future use. It will require more * 1 1 _ art/) ^ than ouu,vuu nans ui wu?u ^ linters for the manufacture of pow- c der and hijjh explosives for our army and navy. The cotton holding- * movement in the S >uth will become ^ very general before very long and a then prices will soar. I shall not be c surprised to see seed selling at $60 a s ton before Christmas. Cotton seed ? $ meal is selling as high as $36 a ton ? and some are asking $40. Cotton- ( seed oil has advanced in price and is now in great demand. Cottonseed hulls are being used more extensive# 0 ly than ever, and the linters cut from the seed are being consumed more rapidly than ever before, when c bleached linters sell for 10 cents a ^ 2 pound. I am expecting to see the * $100 and more for a bale of cotton [\ and $60 to $65 for a ton of seed."? The State.

L -come a lending instead of a borrow- 1 ing region, the savings of the South- ? em people must be kept in the n South. A large part of them, " through life insurance companies, are now sent to the North. This is altogether an unnecessary S process. The life insurance busi- v ness is thoroughly organized and ? throughout the world its principles j and methods are fully understood. Indeed, the conduct of the life insurance company involves less risk R of losing money that is invested in it, whether it be a stock or mutual company, than does the conduct of ^ a bank or industrial corporation. T Yesterday The State printed a ? dispatch from Greenville to the pur- L port that the Southeastern Life In- ^ surance Company of that city had sold insurance to the amount of s $1,100,000 in the.last month. The p company has been in operation ten K years. It is an "old line concern," j and, in the opinion of experts, a J buyer of a policy in a company of ^ its character obtains the same de-' V gree of safety that he would have y were his contract with one of the A companies of larger assets. In other ^ words, in these smaller companies, m I? conservatively managed and under J State supervision, the proportion of u resources to liabilities is quite so js great as it is in the great companies. J The institution in Greenville is one J of a number established in the South B -within the last 10 or 15 years and ? they afford a medium whereby the J people of the South can fortify their Jj own country in a financial sense. B While they have been notably successful, one doubts if they have received so much patronage as they deserve from the Southern people. Our people do not yet understand how much they have to gain by as- 1 sisting in their rapid growth. The j ability of the South to contribute to Tv,ot-o rhpm nf orre.it financial strength | , is not less than was that of the North j and West 50 or 60 years ago when ' such companies as the "Equitable" and the "Mutual" were passing j through their period of infancy. j The State would be far from ad ising against buying insurance from ! ther than Southern companies. It rauld be blind folly for our people o draw any sectional line in a mater of this kind but they err in the ndulgence of the notion that merel\ ecause Northern companies are lder and larger they are safer than ur own. The Southern concerns uffer from a prevailing Southern abit of mind that has no just basis n principle or fact. The time has ome when it is not less safe to buy n insurance policy made in South Carolina, Georgia or North Carolina han it is to buy a leg of mutton ;rown in one of these States.?
