R. E. Rodgers, who died Wednesday
morning of last week, took
place from the home in Sprattville
Thursday morning at 11
o'clock. Dr. J. H. Thornwell
conducted the service, after
which the interment was made
in the town cemetery.
Mrs. Rodgers, before marriage
was Miss Nannie Culp. daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Culp.
of Sprattville. She was about
35 years of age. Mrs. Rodgers
had been in bad health for several
months, and for several
days preceding her death was
desperately ill and therefore her
death was not unexpected. She
is survived by her husband,
mother and father and several
brothers and sisters.
Mrs. Rodgers was a consistent
member of the Methodist church,
a true Christian woman, a devoted
wife and a good neighbor.
Her death has caused deep sorrow
among her many friends.
"It is now a straight fight between
the producer and the speculator.
Here are the elements:
an unquestioned short crop, an
unquestioned demand and an unquestioned
high price of cotton
goods. Two months ago the raw
material was near 14 cents. The
depression at present is therefore
due solely to the efforts of the
speculative element, and the fight
can be won if the cotton producers
will stand together. I believe
they are goingto win."?E.
D. Smith, pres. S. C. cotton association.
