Disband the Farmers' Union,
and publish the news to the
world, and in 30 days you will
see cotton tumbling toward the
six cents notch. Those farmers'
organizations are all that have
kept up the price.
We intend to make the Senti
nel-Journal one of the newsiest
weeklies in our Southland, 'and
to aid us in this undertaking we
ask our friends to send us each
week all the happenings in their
respective localities.
We do not suppose there is a
county in our state where pro
hibition is better enforced and
observed than right hero in
Pickens. It is a rare thing to
see a persou the slightest uder
the influence of an intoxicant.
Those Christian ladies Who are
organizing an Epworth League
inl Pickens should and will meet
with every en1coura gemnent from
our citzens. It IF 4 grard and

. Some farmers in our county
are badly behind with cotton

gathered. At 'every little ad
vance in. the market, a good
many bales are sold. Merchants
report collections as picking up
some, but many farmers are
holding their-cotton in hope of
an advance in price.
We do not loo~k t'or better~ times
or any perceptible advance in
the price of c'eton until after
the Presidential election. It
matters not who~ 'ins, you will
see money gradu&' y ease up and
trade improve, and the price of
our staple also advlice. There
is always more or 'less uneaisi

Mountain produce is'hhusiil

wagons roll into .Pickenis :from
the upper portion of our county
and from acros's the North Car
lina line, laden with caigbage,
Irish potatoes, beans, chickens,
chestnuts and like articles. Th(
chestnut crop is said to be th(
largest in years. Pickens is one
of the best and cheapest places
in the country to live in.

can sell you an Overcoat at a price you would almoest' be asha,

STOVE]S.

stove we have at actual cost. This is also stove season ind a
good opportunity to get a good Stove for a little mone~
