' In other words, after the dollar j1 leaves the donor's pocket does it I' reach its goal with practically all its.1 purchasing power intact, or is 95 peri" cent of it reeled off along the road for "upkeep'* and "overhead expens-|| es" for the channels through which! it must pass? 1 For the second time since it aban-i doned the expensive, cumbersome and/ ineffective method of raising funds/ by personal solicitation with the 1 time-honored tambourine, the Salva-/ tion Army is going direct to the pub-/ lie May 10-20 with an appeal fori funds with which to carry on the 1 work of feeding and clothing the/ poor mothering the orphan, lifting/ the fallen, rescuing the wayward and ' finding jobs for those who are un-jJ able to find work for themselves. |' The Salvation Array's first direct ( 1 appeal to the public with the budget i system, definitely and accurately stat- j ing Its needs, was made last year and to this appeal there was instant ' and liberal response. Brief Statement of Expenditures for Year 1919. That the public may know what became of the money contributed, a full accounting of the expenditures ] for last year has just been issued by ] the national headquarters in New ] York. i The financial statement, which is i of January 31, 1920t shows total ex- ] penditures throughout the United ] Slates of $13,257,552, with a balance < on hand for the four months ending < May 31, of $910,140. 1 ine statement snows $ 1,441,185 j! was expended up to January 31 for maintenance of 939 corps and out-!< ^ posts in the United States. This in- i i eludes rental and maintenance of I ] halls, salaries of 1,800 officers, work | for children and young people, cost of all local relief work, and inciden- j tal expenditures for postage printing, I stationery, etc. Indications of the remarkable ad-! vancement made by the Salvation J Army during the year as the result'! of the 1919 home service fund are the lifting of mortgages to the J amount of $1,881,913 and the outlay of $7,038,334 for new buildings and 1 additions. Only a part of the mortgage indebtedness was paid off last 1 year; however, the increased demands upon the Army everywhere being so great that increased facilities for hospitals, rescue homes and other Institutions called for the outlay of more than $7,000,000. In the perio<j covered by the re iiui was expenac 1 dv thirty-four provincial and divisional headquarters for fresh air farms and camps, comprehensive relief work of j a special nature among the poor, the sick and the distressed; $187,309 for ; the operation of 26 rescue homes and Letter on the Staple Cotton Situa-1 tion. Hartsville, S. C., May 10, 1920. Dear Mr. Editor: I have recently been giving much time and study to the present and future staple cotton situation and assume that some of your readers might like to know the results. The situation as I see it is as follows: Firstt the supply of good grade arland staple cotton is practically ex tiausted everywhere and the demand I is still active. This forecasts an ur-| gent demand for the early part of the, aew crop. Second, the staple acreage in South Carolina has been increase^ at least 100 per cent and in Mississippi about 30 per cent, but the crop is getting a very bad start in both states. In the latter there is considerable flooded land which cannot be planted for some time, if at all. In the Piedmont section from Alabama to North Carolina very little of the crop has been planted?in fact, much of the land has not been plowed for the first time. Third, a late crop is usually a poor one especially in boll weevil territory. ' Fourth, the acreage of the Egyptian crop which competes with American staple has been increased, but that crop also has an unfavorable jlari. Fifth, JOO.OOO bales of Egyptians wer0 imported into this country this season to fill the shortage in the American staple crop. This leaves the English mills bare of supplies and it is unlikely that England will allow the exportation of such large quantities of Egyptians another season unless the Egyptian crop is much larger than is expected. High grade Egyptians are now bringing about $1.50 per pound. Sixth, the automobile tire industry of the United States will consume about one half million bales of staple lotton this year and the demand for| automobile tires is increasing at the rate of 25 per cent per year. This will probably mean that 625,000 bales of staples will be needed for this purpose for the coming year. If Egyptian imports are curtailed American mills may need next season 250,000 more bales of American staples than they used this season, and it is unlikely that the new crop will show that much inorpasp Seventh, while the crop in this section is late, It is earlier thrcn the Mississippi or Piedmont crop and as transportation from here is from one to two weeks quicker to the staple lenters of New England and the Carolinas than it is from Mississippi, this section may expect a heavy demand during the early part of the season. It is, of course, Impossible to predict future prices as many factors lanont be foreseen. The writer does not feel, howeve^ that the present outlook would justify him in selling any of his own crop at 20 per cent to 25* Der cent discount from nreoenf I prices as some people are doing. Some of the best posted men in the lotton world feel that the great scarcity of agricultural labor and the late start and poor stands will make imposible the production of anything but a very small crop. The carry aver of spinnable cotton from this crop will be very small and when we lonslder this and the very high prices pf all manufactured textiles it would see that the present level of prices for all raw cotton might easily be exceeded this fall. The writer has always felt that the sale of cotton for future delivery svas an unfortunate practice and should be discouraged. First, because It has a depressing tendency on the fall markets as this :otton is rushed upon the market as fast as gathered and by swelling re:eipts gives the impression of a big :rop. Second, because forward sales must .always be made at heavy discounts under spot prices and the man ivho regularly sells his crop at a discount is in the long run going to get ess than the man who does not sell mtil his cotton is ready for the market. ? Occasionally forward sales will jay, but millions of dollars more have t>een lost by this practice than have Jeen made. Yours very truly, David It. Coker. Mrs. Rebecca Rogers. Diedt April 22 at 8 o'clock Mrs. Rebecca Rogers, wife of Mr. Gilbert Rogers. Her illness was long and painful but she was never heard to murmer. She leaves a husband and the following children to mourn herj loss: Mr. Clifford Rogers of GreensPoro and Lacy an^ Ida Mae Rogers' ot Fork. She was an affectionate j wife and mother, a good neighbor, a person of sincere, upright character. She will be sadly missed by those who knew her best. But the bereaved ones sororw not without hope for they are confident that the loved one has entered into the Saint's everlasting rest. One Who Lovt(j Her. o NOTICE.
