The Rev. Carlisle Courtenay of the Rescue Orphanage of Columbia is in town this week in the interest of his institution. Knowing the nature of the work in which Rev. Courtenay is employed, no .one will miss the oppor tunity to assist him. Both of the cotton ginning institu tions in Summerton have been crowd. ed to and beyond capacity for the past two weeks an dmuch cotton is being harvested and gathered in this sectior owing to the good Weather prevailing Most of this is being put on account: and considerable going towards tlh local store establisments which I fee' sure are in need of same along about this time of year. We are about on< Week ahead this year with the cotton picking and it is hoped that the go" weather will continue until the yieh is (omnleted gathered. The Northwestern Railroad ha: gained considerable headway towardh the erection of the cotton platform The old platform has been extender and we understand that they contem plate providing they can get the ma terial and labor to make a - new addi Lion on the old platform towards he business section of the town which i. badly needed a's they will not at pre sent receipt for cotton that is place( on their premises on the grdtnd. The cotton market has been on the decline for the past week and as i result of the same several parties hove carried their cotton back to the farm or stored same in the local warehouse. In either case it was the right thing to do as the present price which is around twenty-live cents is not sufficient to warrant selling. The general inquiry now is whether the price will again react and go to high - e Comp'y C. '4 aney! t ves :3 Iedr-tes I >readers,ohr * >oaos I I I ring t ens I AR C. XND, Correspo er levels. There is only one answer to this and that is certainly, for we have never yet seen it go down and not go up again but the serious prop osition is WHEN. Some want to know the reason of the decline, others want to know why they didn't hear of the contract business at 30 cents, while most of the colored folks wish they had "obligated" a few bales. The present price is pretty near cost of production and scarcely can any money be made if it is sold at the present price which has an up ward tendency at close today (Mon day) We note that a percentage of I the new crop is sold ever year as it becomes available but it is holders of the firmer class who must ultimately be reckoned with and they will nev er consent to take less than thirty cents for their cotton. The market has been flooded with the. new crop for the past few week, and as a re suit there is a teniency on the part of the speculators to buy it cheap and hold same until the crop shortage be comes acute and when the market rallies under this cause they will turn it loose with more than legitimate profits. It would be a good idea for the government whil' they are after the profiteer to kee) in close touch with the cotton exchanges. There is a great vacuum in Europe which must be supplied and daily we hear cries of scareity of raw material in Ger many, who prior to the war was the greatest consumer of lowgrade cotton in the world. And with the revival of Luropean industry this vacuum will be enlarged which alone is sufficient to inform us of the fact that cotton will be in great demand and that the Southern farmer will then realize his day. Facts canllot be put down. This revival of industry cannot be had un til the Peace Treaty is ratified by every country concerned which will probably consume some time. The flew crop over the cotton belt in geii eral is late and it is possible that there could be some changes made in the crop since the latest gavernment reOrt and this was 6I.. Owiet to the lateuess of the crop and 't' ' change in conditions especially in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississipp'i was possible is the reason given by the Exchanges for the sa(Ien break on the announcement of the crop esti mEate. The first ginners report of the sea son is due at. 10 o'clock on Sept. 8th which is to:lay and many are lo)kiny for a slight advance in the market but there is some probability that it may :lo like it did on the announcement of the latest estimate. Some expect the report to be light others heavy while the general opinion is that it will be heavy for the time of the year anol that the acute shortage of the cron) will not be realized to any great ex tent until the third or fourth ginning report comes out wvhich will be a cer' tain Cause for better prices.
