^OTTON MORE BULLISH THAN IN FIFTY YEARS ; I v Columbia, Nov. 19.?The condimm tions bearing on the price of cotton 1 are more bullish than they have been i before in the last sixty years, said J. ] [ Skottowe Wannamaker, president of ] k the American Cotton association in < a statement issued today. Mr. Wannamaker declares that ] * ? in fV>o n nrtV) and l OCttl" OpCVUIOCVIO XAl V44V -? _ ^ south are caught for tremendous : m large sums; that manipulators who ] f have been permitted to switch their j contracts from time to time are now 1 seeking to switch them from Decern- j ber and January, both of which j months are terribly overloaded, to < March and May and that one of the j largest speculators in the south who j was caught recently made an offer of i $2,000,000 to cancel out his contract, j which was sold at much lower prices, j ^ * <rWliP7i the war broke out in 1914, I| /the Liverpool spinners had the New ? -> 1 1 -1 KIT fllO ( YorK Speculators ausuiuicij w.v neck," says Mr. Wannamaker's statemerit. "The price of cotton was ?' forced down to unheard of prices. Y The exchange even closed and it was 1 impossible to sell cotton at any price except to Liverpool at the price they J saw fit to pay. New York bulls who 1 were caught by Liverpool were forced to pay fearful losses. Today the < condition is the reverse except that New York has^ Liverpool spinners! mm caught for ma!ny larger amounts r Monr VnrL* Paiicht m man .mverpuui nctu t. 0... . |\ for in 1914. f "In addition to this certain large 1 I bear speculators in the south and ! north are caught for tremendous losses on the New Yourk exchange. Both the Liverpool speculators and : the northern and southern specula-! tors have been permitted to switch ] their contracts from time to time at 1 remendous additional losses for mak- J ing the switches. These contracts - r i rare now switched into December ana January. Both of these months are . terribly overloaded. These manipulators are now making a desperate , effort to induce the New York bulls \ f to permit them to switch March and ; SJ May. It is very questionable as to whether this will be permitted or ! not. One of the largest speculators 1 ? WAAAnflv / ' in tne soucn who was uu^m> icv^uvij made an offer of two million dollars ] to cancel ou^t his contract which was ' sold at much lower prices. This offer ' was refused. Under existing con[ ditions the New York speculators J who absolutely control the situation j claim not only the pound of flesh, but * the hoof, hide, hair and bone. "Another matter of grave concern j to the bears the fact that a tremend-1 ^ ous amount of spot cotton Jwas sold to certain European interests last sum-. mer when prices were lower. In ad- ^ dition to this, there is a tremendous amount of cotton bought for May and lower months. The cotton now ' sold to New York and New Orleans ( exchanges, and the cotton contracted v for by certain European interests for ' * L ?? " avoaeo r\f ' ? lasc summer is iai xu v* lj^ -available cotton today, including the j W cotton ungathered in the fields. In! | their desperations to escape from j the trap, the bears have used every ( . known ^means to break the market so i as to force the spot holders to sell? /: spot cotton wtih which to enable them ; to fill contracts, which they made for something they did not own and for . something which canno now obtain." ^ ~ j In Memoriam.

I t * HARVESTING SWEET POTATOES AVOID FROST INJURY Clemson College, Nov. 15.?With the coming of the first heavy frost in a large part of the state, sweet potatoes which have not already been harvested should be harvested at 9 once, says the Extension Service 9 Horticulturist. Weather conditions I Unira Koan imparl and a Dart of the I ua? wv/v 11 ^ x it should be whenever the crop was mature, without waiting for frost. If potatoes are still in the ground when frost arrives, lose no time in getting ihem out, or be sure to cut the vines it the main stem and thus prevent' I frost injury to the potatoes until they I :an be taken out of the ground. | The following five pointers are sug jested for general guidance in har- I resting: j J 1. Harvest when mature and be- I fore frost injury. 2. . Remove vines, by means of an ordinary hay rake, only so much as can be dug each day. 3. In case of frost, cut the vines at the main stem before thawing or freezing again? and let stand until weather permits digging. 4. Harvest with the standard two horse potato plow or the ordinary I burn plow. ? 5. Plow deep to reduce the per- ' rentage of cut or bruised potatoes. g Duke of Sutherland Movie Fan. j| The Duke of Sutherland, during I his stay in Los Angeles, paid the f studio of Douglas Fairbanks a sur- j prise visit. He was accompanied by I several fnembers of his official party. I At the request of the duke, Mary 8 Pickford was sent for and the t^o ! royalties hit it off very well together. | According to a report emanating in the publicity department of the studio, the duke succeeded in having a scenario of which he said he was the author, producel. Mary played the part of a maid, and Doug enacted the role of a villain. The duke, and Ifis duchess, and two members of his party also took part. The actioi} resolved around the duchess pearls? real pearls?which were stolen by Doug during service of tea. Mary as the maid, discovers the plot and is kidnapped by another burly villain (Admiral R. P. N. Watson, royal navy). A Scotland Yard man (General J. W: Stewart, who had charge of British railways in France), miraculously appears and the villain ex plains that he annexed the pearls so I as to caftse an uproar in .the duke's I home and thus prevent his appear- | ance in'parliament, where he was all set to make a speech. The film will be taken to England* by the duke for the entertainment of his friends. The ducal party went to the Fairbanks home for dinner.

' 4 "When I had taken the first bottle of Tanlac I was in much better health 1 generally and all my ailments had been relieved," declared Mrs. M. J.' Casey, of 30 Kennedy street, Spar- a tanburg, S. C., in a statement de- ? scribing the painful ailments with a which she suffered, and telling of * the gr'eat improvement Tanlac quick- 1 ly made in her condition. Mrs. ^ Casey's statement follows: a "I suffered from stomach trouble " and I just felt badly all over," said c Mrs. Casey. "I was tired and 110 account all the time. My appetite had a about left me, "and it was seldom that [ ever could find anything to eat that ^ [ really wanted. Everything I ate ? hurt me, and after meals I felt puff- 1 sd up about my stomach. I had * heartburn also. In fact, I nearly 3 burnt upvwith it. That ailment was } awful. "Frequently I had dizzy spells and 1 headaches. My general health was bad. I knew I needed some kind of ^ 2tfedicine, but it seemed that I just ^ :ould not find what I needed. But ^ at last I decided to try Tanlac. The j medicine gave me quick results, and ^ t certainly can praise Tanlac for the j ivay it improved my health. 1 i "When the first bottle was taken j [ was in much better health generally and all my ailments had been re- lieved.
