SAYS POUND COTTON
WORTH 65 TO 75 CTS.
Columbia, July 18.?In a statement
issued here J. Skottowe V/annamaker,
president of the American
Cotton Association, declared that he
had recently laid before the largest
manufacturers of America and larg
L J V/vnoaa onif hoctf- PVnftrtS

of America the question, "What is
a pound of middling cotton worth,
based on the price of the manufactured
product today, after deducting
the price for manufacturing and a
fair profit to the manufacturer?"
Mr. Wannamaker says in his' statement,
"their answer to this inquiry
is that it is worth frc?n 65 to 75
cents per pound basis middling."
Mr. Wannamaker further declared
in his statement that, "based on supply
and demand the world i3 facing
the greatest shortage in raw cotton it
has ever laced since cotu>u wu mot
introduced into America. I am firmly
of the opinion that the New England
and English spinners are terribly
uneasy on account of the tremendous
advantages which the American Cotton
Association is bringing to the
entire cotton interests," said Mr.
Wannamaker. "They are terribly un
easy on account of the fact that they
realize the world is facing a great
shortage; that the producer will never
again operate his faun except upor
a business basis and will not overproduce.
"Before this time next year the
spinners will be glad to buy cotton
at any price. If their spirit and liberality
is such as many of their
friends claim, they have a golden opportunity
to prove this now by paying
a fair, just price for cotton based
on the manufactured product, which
would be 65 to 75 cents per pound

Letter From Senator Smith.
Mr. Wannamaker yesterday received
the following letter from United
States Senator E. D Smith, commending
his recent article on supply
and demand.
"I want to congratulate you on following
up by actual States the tremenHnm
shortage in the supply of
cotton as compared with demand, a
careful study of war conditions, prewar
conditions and now post-war
conditions will be wonderfully instructivee
to our farmers and to the
world at large. The world corsumed
practically fifteen million bales of
American cotton while the embargo
was on the Central Powers and while
we were still at war. America.: or.sumption
rose from about five millions
to seven millions, now with all
embargoes lifted and wifli the supply
of cotton goods neceaasrily depleted,
the world over, just what
price cotton is going to is hard to
say. The supply of cotton goods
throughout the world is depleted
from two tremendous and far-reaching
causes. The drafting of operatives
and labor from mills, the demoralization
of business and then
| the total inadequate suppljf of the J
raw material. Now tbal employment
is being sought by those released
from military duty and the world is
clamoring for cotton goods, and no
embagoes, prohibitions or restrictions
exist and -the supply so manifestly
short it is only a question of what the
world is willing to pay or rather can
pay. The outlook, from all I can
gather, is for perhaps a shorter crop
than even last year.
I hope in the near future to give
out an interview on this cotton question
that will be of aid in the fight."

TWO NEGROES DEAD
FOLLOWING THREAT
I
Denmark, July 17.?Two negroes
were killed and three white men
wounded, two of them dangerously,
in a shooting scrape here late this
afternoon between a white mail and
one or (two necToea.
The dead are Agent Brown and
Grorge Stevens, negroes. Carrol
"Mobley, white, about 20 years old,
has two bullets in his breast and a
third one in his arm and is not expected
to live through the night.
/ Henry Murray Ray, 22 years old,
son of Sheriff S. G. Ray, was shot
through the neck and was paralyzed
from the wa/ist down. His condition
is also critical.
J. Ralph Thompson, white, 25 years
of age and unmarried, had an arm
shattered by a bullet. His condition
is not serious. All three of the young
men will be taken to a hospital in
Columbia on the early morning tram
Thompson is an employee! of the
telephone cdmpany.
The trouble arose out of a case in
court between the two negroes. In
the trial Stevens was charged with
stealing some watermelons from
Brown and Carroll Mobley was a
witness for Stevens When court
adjourned this afternoon, with the
trial unfinished, .Brown andf his
brother-in-law, Ozell Anderson, left
the court room first and one of the
negroes was heard to remark, ''Well
get him yet." In the court room
were 35 or 40 white people. These
came out after the negroes and
Mobley crossed the street toward
the negroes, when Brown opened
fire. Mobley dashed back across the
istreetf, with Brown continuing firing.
Mobley took refuge behind a
tree and drew his pistol and shot
Brown dead. In the xrieantime
Brown had shot Ray, Thompson and
Stevens. Anderson is missing tonight,
but is being searched for, as
eye witnesses claim tnat Anderson
had part in the shooting.
Both of the negroes were middle
aged, each being about 35 or 40
year^ old. Stevens was employed
by the American Telephone Co.
BEEKEEPERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA
TO HEAR DR. PHILLIPS
Clemson College, July 19.?The
development of .beekeeping in South
P.oiwmo woo csforfo^ nr\i> xroor
ago and the progress made in this
short time is almost astounding.
Clemson has always been awake to
the needs of this work, but "Rome
was not built in a day," and to develop
our manifold agricultural activities
requires time; but beekeeping is
now beginning to take its proper
place in our agriculture.
Dr. E. F. Phillips, chief of the
Section of Beekeeping in the Bureau
of Entomology of the United States
Department of Agriculture, is one
of the leading beekeepers of the day.
For many years ihe has been one
of the leading authorities and under
his leadership beekeeping has made
great advances in this country.
When an attempt was made to undertake
the development of beekeeping
in this State Dr. Phillips
promptly supported it in order to
make the movement a success. Although
his attention is required in
many states from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, he has consented to
make an address during Farmers'
Week on the evening of July 24,
and will stay for a day or two to
consult with any who are interested.
His attendance at the meeting will
be a great treat and any one interested
in bees and all those who wish
to hear and see one of the master
beekeepers in action must not fail
to be present. Clemson has started
a little apiary or bee-yard, and Dr.
Phillips will give demonstraitions in
the handling of the bee-yard, the
beehives, and the bees themselves.
Come and see it.
