Cotton is now selling about three cents per pound more than it sold for two weeks ago. It is hard to advise on the cotton market, and it is never safe to do so. However, there seems to be almost a unanimous opinion that cotton will sell higher. The present crop is not going to the government's last estimate by a half million bales, we think. The farmers in many places V #****% c-A*v>n /?/vH-/vn -onr? naiH enmp lia V C OViU OV111V WWVVit |/M4M wvauv debts, and many are not pressed. Tie banks are in better condition than for the past two years, or they like the others of us have gotten used to hard times, while planters are showing a disposition to hold. In addition to this something like twenty, or maybe twenty-five per cent, of the crop will be marketed by the farmers co-operative asso^ ciations, and these are not now offering cotton, and show a disposition not to do so until a much higher price is reached. . These things induce us to believe that cotton is going to sell at a considerably higher price. The scramble which is bound to come, and which is even now on in part, will make an increasingly strong demand for the staple as the season advances. We are not advising anybody not to sell cotton. Everybody must be his own judge about when to sell, but we favor taking the chances for awhile anyway. Cotton at $1.89 is not yet in sight, but these short crops make things look promising. SERVING ON THE BENCH. Last week we were in Columbia to attend the memorial exercises in the supreme court in honor of-Judge Ernest Moore and Judge Edward McIver. And vrfien we thought of the fact of these two stalwart men, who ordinarily should have lived many years, being taken at the ages at yvhich they passed, we could not help but reflect that the life of the circuit judge is a hard one indeed. His task is trying. The number of men in the prime of life who have been taken in recent years warns us of the truth of this observation. A man at 50 who goes on the bench must figure that he takes from the v span of years which otherwise would be his some five or more years. He cannot do the work and live long. Of course some men must take these positions. They are positions of high honor, and when properly filled, of great usefulness. There havej always been men to serve the state | at whatever cost and there will con-| tinue to be until the end. But peo-j pie should not grow to think that] these men lead an easy life, full of pleasure ,and with good salaries. The salaries are all too small, and the drain on the reserve energy of fr the conscientious judge is great. He deserves to be well thought of by the; people. MORE HERESY. If the Greenwood Index-Journal is not the principal culprit, it is a coconspirator in undertaking to persuade the public that good liquor will not cure snake bite. One day last week, the Greenwood paper produced an editorial in which it quoted this and the other famous chemist to prove that, instead of curing the ill effects following snake bite, liquor was a help to get the victim out of the way. The contention, it seems has been consistently spread until it has been noticed by an old hunter in FloridaThe old hunter discusses the subject in the New York Herald and declares that the chemists are all wrong, and that liquor will in fact - ' ... * cure in cases of snake bite. He produces the same proof that Jim Richardson, of Long Cane township, proiduced to prove his assertion that "a chestnut rail fence will last a hundred years,"?he has "tried it twice.' j That should be the end of the argubnent unless the witness may be im)peached. f With these chemists, judges and I newspapers, it won't be long until j there will be no excuse for having j liquor except for drinking purposes. _ CARING FOR ROADS. I j The rains of the past two weeks ' jare telling on the new top-soil roads. They are beginning to need work. In' fact, as we have so often said before, j they need constant work. Abbeville] County has expended a very large| amount of money for the building of these roads and they are fast deteriorating. Something must be donej1 before very long to keep them good or they will n#t stay good. We have ' | said this before, but it will bear re- 1 [peating. ( BELTON MAN HURT 2 < Belton, Oct, 17.?Clark Shaw 1 shot and painfully .wounded John ^ Banister in the 1 eg Sunday afternoon in the Bethany section. ( It is alleged they were traveling s in the road together with a brother * of Clark Shaw when a dispute arose 1 over some money Shaw claimed * Banister owed him, which resulted ? in Clark Shaw drawing his gun. His 0 brother knocked the gun down, and as he did so the gun went off, shoot- c ing him in he leg, shattering the s bone. As far as known here no arrests have been made. I m I ABBEVILLE, S.
