Answer ing inquiries from our Southern friends, regarding -mill curtailment, eight Fall River mills stopped work for two days this week, reopening Monday. * The remaining supply, of cotton is ho small that the mills of the world using American ..cotton will have to curtail their operations to ah aver age <? f" about four days per week for the next four months. Last year about this time, Fall River mills were closed </>n account of strikes and lock outs. Kvery effort was being made to rWiur expenses. Unemployment existed. Foreign affairs were .as un settled as now and yet consumption of American cotton, according to Hester, was 12,8.04,000 for the year. This season for nine months , end ing April 80th, consumption was on a basis of 13,500,000 bales. September 15th is about the earliest that new cotton can reach the mills. Assume that consumption is cut to a yearly basis of 12,000,000 bales for the next four month** and mills will require 4,500,000 pluft stocks en route to mills, 1,600,000 a tatal of 6,000,000 l^iles. To meet this need, on May tirut, American and foreign mills had about 2,450,000 plus the visible 1,816 000, plus uncounted towns and on farms 800,000, a total of 5,065,000* Thus by -curtailing from a 18,600,000 bale basis, mills will still need more cotton than exists. Nowhere do we hear the assertion that consumption will be orv a year ly basto below ? 10,000,000 bales, and yet that is what must happen during the- next four months make the supply last. , The world urgently needs a mini mum crop of 18,000,000 bales next season. The ne\v crop averages about two weeks late and is starting poor ly. The best reports are from Texas. We strongly advise our Southern friends to refrain from pressing their cotien for sale. Every bale will be badly needed before new cotton will be retftty for market. Our advices are that the Cooperative Associations have withdrawn their cotton from sale. Yours truly, J. \V. JAY & CO.

Such was the wording of an ad vertisement which got Ha nine Home, a flirty day term in the Greenwood county jail instead of a husband, be cause the district attorney for the western district of . South Carolina United States Court had charged that while Hannie might be pretty, and all that, he could not make a good wife because he was a man. As a result of the advertisement, wljich was published in certain news papers, Captain J. Van, of Muskegon; Mich., became interested and sent money and a diamond ring to Hannie Home. Although the matter is understood to have- -started as a joke, and part of the money was returned to Captain Vaii, Horne "pleaded guilty to techni cal charges of using the mail to de fraud and was sentenced by Judge Watkins to seA'e thirty days in the Greenwood jail. This is the lightest ssntence which could be imposed. M iss Ellerbe Dead. ? Miss Florence Ellerbe died at her home near Hagood Saturday evening about 11 o'clock, after an illness of one week.

I i ? ,i i ' - * Resourceful Wo, nan Also Foiled Would-Be Robbers. , Pott OWoi Official Took Mono/ and j Stamps Homo With Hor ? Wao Taking No Chanooa. 8he*dldn't wai\t her nice, now safe all mussed up by peaky robbers 1 Recently one of the contract poatal stations In the District was robbed, but owing to the habit of the woman owner of the store In which the sta tion waa lodged, the robbers got no postal funds. This woman was In the habit of taking all' the money and poatage stamps home with her each njght, aa well as the receipts of her store, be cause she had no safe or other place t? leave them In the establishment. It (Jerhapa should be explained that a "contract station" Is merely a small, post office branch located In a store, which tl^? owner agrees to run on a contract basis. Well, when .he officials at the city post office heard of the robbpry of the store, but feafuty of postal fuhds and Stumps, they Interviewed the woman. "You must have a safe, by all means," declared the officials. "You not only need one for your own busi ness, but you must have It to safe guard Uncle Sam's money and stamps,*' So the lady agreed to buy herself a safe. She got a nice, new one, really a fine irtTalr, all enamel and gilt, with a shiny dli?l and nil that sort of thing. "Now," declared postal officials, with a sigh of relief, when they glimpsed that brand-new safe, "No burglar can get In now, and you will be saved the danger of taking till your own funds as well as postal moneys and stamps home each night." Several nights later llght-flngered gentry got Into the store again. When postal Inspectors hot footed It to tlie establishment they found the new safe with Its doors wide opt'n and not a single note, coin or stamp in the safe. "Cleaned !" gasped the Inspector, looking Into the empty safe. "They didn't leave a cent ? took It all." Postal officials moaned. "How much did you leave In the safe?" they asked the woman proprie tor. The latter smiled sweetly. "I didn't leave anything," she said. "What I" yelled the postal inspec tors. "You see, I was afraid .the burglars would get In again," explained the woman, "And I had read how they blow open safes. And my safe was so nice and shiny, I didn't want them to hurt It when they blew It up." "So you-?" "Yes, sir, I Just took my money and stamps home with me each night, Just as I have always done, and left the door of the safe open a bit, so that If the burglars got In they would sop It and not have to blow It all up," ex plained the woman. "It's such a pret ty safe." Woi^ld Save Flamingoes. T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the Notional Association of Audubon So-* cietles, has started on a trlfl to the Bahamas In the hope of paving the last survivors of the flame-.colored flamingoes which were once numerous In the Bahamas and Florida. The colonies In the United States have been completely tvlped out, and It Is estimated that only 1,200 of these splendid and stately birds remain In the Bahamas. They are all on the Island of Andros, the'largest and most densely wooded Island of the group. The flamingo Is easy to see, easy to kill and easy to eat. The /lainlngo tongue was one of the most prized delicacies of the table In Roman times, but the whole bird Is esteemed In the Bahamas as formerly In Florida, and nothing but caVeful protection on a bird refuge can save the few which remain. Mr. Pearson has established sanctu aries for egrets and many other flne American birds nod Expects to have no difficulty in obtaining funds from bird lovers for the upkeep of such a | refuge on the Island of Andros, If thei local government will co-operate* In I protecting the bird.
