COTTON REPORT g n The market during the past week d has been quiet with erratic fluctuai tions and no definite ti^nd developn ed. The Census Report issued on e the 14th, shewing a consumption by i- domestic mills "for the month of d May, was about as expected and I satisfactory from a bullish standpoint when compared with the corresponding month in 1919. ApZ proximately 500,000 more spindles, PERSHING VS MADDEN ! In his address before the gradu ating class of the Virginia Militar Institute at Lexington, Va., Frida said :"General Lee was a Christia gentleman whose character and lif in. war and. peace Americans shoul emulate." Further: "The worl looks on ^Stonewall Jackson and hi accomplishments with admiratio: and awe." This is the opinion an appraisement of native-born Amen' can. Quite a difference of opinio between "Black Jack" and th l _ native braying jackass from 'Chica go who a few week?" a&o, denounce both Lee and Jackson as traitors. ' .v GOMPERS ^REELECTED ' .

ELECTION OF SrHOni TRIISTFF r Notice is hereby given that meeting of the citizens of Abbe ville School District is > called fo 7 p. m., Tuesday, June 2&, in th County court1 house for the?purpos of electing three 'trustees for th city schools. The trustees whos NE ? A Mr FT LE 4 f : Merchandise \ . SATURDAY, i IAKOFF LE, SC. - , were active during May of this year than in May 1919. e Bullish influences, however, s were more than' over-come by good e weather and reports of rapidly n jsiackening trade in Europe, as well as in this country. Textile mills, e both domestic and foreign, are re'' ported curtailing their output, some even going on part time. Stocks in 8 consuming establishments are over 1 300,000 bales greater than at the corresponding time last year. This probably accounts for the* poor spot demand that has existed re*" cently. t It is a well known fact that pub? lie interest in any market is based to a large extent upon temporary ( influences knd it is a matter of record that a decline in values ire^ quently occurs during this month ^ and that bullish enthusiasm is re^ kindled as bad reports begip to be received through July and August. The wise man takes advantage of ejlow nriccs to make his purchases, e but the public does not buy until ( after a rapid advance has occurrel. ^ History may repeat itself this year anl should our fall anH winter posiU tions advance rapidly, an increasing public interest on the long side would undoubtedly develop. We, therefore, continue to suggest to g our friends that advantage should , be taken of material declines to a i makep urchases of March and May j cotton with the idea of increasing holdings on further set-backs. The usual danger time in the life j of a cotton plant during July and ^ August and past events have shown that the time to buy is oh declines ! that occur duirng the favorable developments of the early summer, g Springs & Co. _ 1785 1920 a I , I The College of Charleston r J Co-Educational e j Entrance examinations, and exe j aminations for the free tuition e | county scholarships at all county g.'seats Friday, July 9, at 9 a. m. ?
