"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

out whiskey, it behooves them to
see to it that as little liquor as
possible is sold within the bounds
of the county.

Attention, Farmers!
The Vice-President of the
State Cotton Association
Appeals to You to Market
Your Cotton Slowly.
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..

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.

Vice-President Southern Cotton
Association, South Carolinina
Division.
