Indications of a stronger cotton1
godds imarket? continue to| multiply:
from week to week. For several
months the Economist has been reiterating
its opinion that the cotton
goods situation was fundamentally
strong and that a firm and probably
hiirhor market -u.-nnId hp appn as fall i
approached. This opinion {is being
borne out by recent developments.. ;
It must be remembered tha: production
of cotton goods hu been sevtreiy
curtailed both here and abroad for
about a year. Even during the periods
of comparative activity following the
radical price cuts last January, pro.
duction, except on a few lines, has
not benn fully maintained, and even
on these lines*?for instance ginghams,
percales, sheets and pillow casesproduction
has not been able to overtake
a demand which has been surprisingly
large.
Our eta^ishcdludwordkhcfcirdluuldwrd
On these lines, as well as on most
other lines, there has been during the
past year a thorough liquidation of!
stocks in the hands of retailers, jobbers
and mills. And the vacuum thus
created has not been filled by a surplus
of production over consumption.I
The market has been eating into its (
reserves, so to speak, until the re-'
serves are almost completely gone.'
1. ?i? - ??.1?
AS a result, oniy ii tunurr suusuiuum:
reduction of production costs could
further weaken prices, while a more
active consumption would inevitably
stiffen them. /
The only possibility of lower pro.
duction costs in the near future seems
to lie in a lower raw cotton market or
further wage reductions. It is generally
agreed that wages cannot be further
reduced for the present, and, in
fact, it seems to be the prevailing
opinion in the industry that anything
like a pre-war level of wages will not
be seen again for a long time, it ever.
An announcement has recently been
made by certain Southern manut'actur.
era that it will be necessary to advance
wages at least 10 per cent from
the low point reached when the mills
shut down some time ago. This in
gradually upward until at the end of
last week it had reached 13.50 cents.
And there is every reason to look tor
a still further rise.
The millstone around the neck of
the cotton market has been the' huge
carry-over from last season. As
closely as this can be estimated it
amounts to about 9,000,000 bales. But
this is being more and more discounted
by the increasing deterioaation of
the new crop. According to the last
Government estimate the crop will
not make much more than 8,000,000
bales, and private advices on the con. ,
dition of the crop since the date of the
Government report tend to reduce this
estimate materially. The market, in
fact, is beginning to talk about a crop
of 7,000,000 bales or less. On the basis
of the Government figures, however,
we should have a total supply for
next season of about 17,000,000 bales.
This would be about normal, and
would leave.a substantial surplus
even if world consumption reached the
pre-war level.
itself is sufficient indication that the
lowest level of wages has been reach,
ed for the present.
The hope of a reduction in costs from|
a lower raw cotton market has been
? getting fainter with the advance of
the new crop season. It never really
had much substance. When world
trade in cotton goods was at its worst
and there still existed the possibility
of a normal cotton crop this year cotton
went down to about 11 cents, and
It was evident that thi sprice discounted
some of the worst possibilities.
Since then cotton has been creeping
But there are several considerations
which lead us to believe that the
actual supply of good, spinnable cotton
will be much smaller than the
figures indicate. In the first place, a
large portion of the carry-over is an
accumulation of low grades from the
war years when the chief markets for
these grades were closed. In the sec
ond place, indications ponu to au uu-(
usually large proportion of low-grade
cotton in the new crop. And In the
third place the cotton crops of India
and Egypt have been materially curtailed,
which is apt to mean a relaI
tively greater dependence of the world
on the American cotton supply.
There are too many complicated fac-1
tors involved in the future of interna-1
tional trade for one to hazard a guess
as to whether the world's consumption
of cotton will reach normal proportions
during the coming year. If
it does, cotton will undoubtedly go
soaring. But the chances are that it

Much preparation was made bv thi
committee in charge of putting on th<

like veterans and showed the mem.
bers they could expect expert service
in another ceremonial or two.
The Cheraw Forest is one of foui
in the state consequently the juris,
diction of this forest is quite large
and Cheraw can naturally expect a
large membership as soon as Masons
in these parts know the nature of the
organization.
It has been called the poor man's

Choral Society Formed.
At a recent meeting, a Choral So.
cietv was formed in Cheraw with about
25 members. This was consider
ed a fine start and it is hoped that many
others will join this society and
make it a real success. Cheraw has
the talent and a society of this sort
can best develope and use this talent
for the good of the public.
The School Board of Trustees has
tendered the use of the School Audi,
torium for the weekly rehearsals.
Mrs. Joe Lindsay will direct the society.
The first practice scheduled
for Monday night August 29th is post
poned on account of a delay in get.

INVITATION TO YOUNG PEOPLE.
A reception in honor of ALL
YOUNG PEOPLE of Cheraw and vicinity
who are going away to college
or to teach school this fall, will be
given Tuesday evening. August 30th,
beginning at 8:30 o'clock.
This is an invitation to all such
young people to be present. Fearing
that we might fail to get the name of
some one whom we would wish to
invite, we give the invitation in this
manner instead of attempting a personal
invitation to each and we hope
that each and all of yon will accept
and be present; for all are cordially
invited.

junction with the deterioration of the
supply, the improvement in world demand
during the coming year is likely
to raise cotton above its present
levels or at least keep it from falling
appreciably below them.
Revival of Remand
Signs of a reviving world demand
are numerous, although they are offset
by some discouraging features
such as the boycott of British good?

Bishop Gregg was the son of Mr
9 David Gregg a well known and highly
respected citizen of Society Hill
1 in Darlington county, and was born
S there in 1819. He graduated with
* the first distinction in the South Carolina
College when that noble in3
stitution was in the vr.rv zenith of its
?
fame and its glory. He was married
to Miss Charlotte W. Kollock, a
! daughter of Mr. Oliver H. Kollock
of Marlboro county and a sister of
jour distinguished fellow citizen Dr.
Cornelius Kollock. He was admitted
r
to the bar and practiced, in copart*i
nor oh in with Opn. .T. W. Blakeney. in
| ..V.w...,.
JCheraw, until he decided to enter the
J'ministry of the Episcopal church. He
t was, for thirteen years, the popular
and faithful pastor of St. David's
church. During his pastorate here,
he received several urgent invitations
to more lucrative and important
t charges, but could not be induced to
syjver bis connection with the people
of his first love, until the call of his
church to the arduous and responsible
office of the Bishopric presented
to him its superloT claims to hisserf
vices. In 1859 just before the storm
cloud of war had burst upon his native
State he entered with all the
] energy of his soul upon his great life
work in Texas, tar away from the
scenes and associations of his ycuth
and the friends of his early days.
As Bishop of Texas he went, as it
were, a pioneer through an unexplored
desert and gallantly planted the
standard of his church all over that
great State.
As rector of St. David's church he
brought the neglected poor to feel
that there were places for them in
the sanctuary of Ood, and won the
hearts of every class. As a citizen
of Cheraw he was persistent advocate
of the best interest of the whole
people and a leader in the promotion
of the moral, social and literary institutions,
nor is there any one to
whom we are more indebted for the
Impetus which was given to efforts
in this direction. Hid contribution to
ourf Historic literature in "Gregg's
History of the Old Cheraws" is recognized
as an invaluable record of
? * a ?t.M1 n?nn/l no
an nonorauie pusi uuu win maim as
1 a monument to his indefatigable in.
dustry and his devotion to the home
.of his youth.
Throughout his honored life he was
always actuated by the highest and
purest motives and governed b^ the
noblest principles?ever ready to sacrifice
everything but principle that
he might aid his fellowmen in their
struggles and trials. The fea\iess
champion of truth and right he was
also a firm and trusty friend and.
faithful counsellor.
; Bishop Gregg was indeed one of
'"the great the good and the gifted"
'.of earth whose life was truly a beni-(
son and hiB death, a loss. His true
greatness consisted of those grand |
1 characteristics which make his goodness
of heart more conspicuous and|
added force- and efficiency to his
sifts both natural and acquired. Indeed,
with him, these attributes werej
inseparable. Kind, generous, charitable,
strictly conscientious with an,
indomitable will untiring energy and
unflagging zeal in every good word,
and work, he was eminently fitted
to lead in a worthy cause. With a
highly cultivated (intellect; a meek.
and quiet spirit and a kind and gentle
disnosition he w.as capable jof
winning the hearts of the people and,
commending to them the highest and
best purposes of life; with an unflinching
courage and wonderful
firmness of character he could well
stand in the breach and defend thei
right against every assault. It was
not alone by precept but by a bright
and pure example and by the force
of his own christian character as well
lhat he
"Allured to brighter worlds and led
' the way."
Nor does the influence of his beautiful
and consistent christian life die
with him but through it "though
dead, he yet speaketh" to the living.

It has been our pleasure
:o have just made a verv interesting

on the road so it will be fine we
hope the next time we go. It was
leautiful to. see such corn crops and :'
iweet potatoes and peanuts growing.
We went across Cape Fear river in
i boat. The next day myself and
Croom and hi^ father spent the davit
Wrightsville Beach. The next day
we went down and got on Carolina
3oat and went up the Southport stay.
?d there one hour and took dinner
n the Hotel on the bank of Cape
Fear river, which was much enjoyed.
The fish was fine. My dinner only
ost me a dollar and 75 cents, so
rou see 1 did'nt eat much. The next
lay went to Carolina Beach and
jnjoyed the cool breezes. Croom and
lis father enjoyed the baths in the
salt water. Crocm enjoyed the pretty
;irls, and there was a plenty. Next
Jay we went to Wilmington Beach
ind Burrves Beach and also down
o Fort Fisher where the big bloody
battle was fought in the Civil war.
Croom and his father went on top cf (
:he breast works. The sand was too
jeep for me. I picked up shells and
looked at crabs and entertained myself.
I am hoping to go again.
