This dock will cost M,000,000 in round numbers, and will accommodate capital shfps. The present dock is not much over 500 feet long.

Price Expected to Rise. The following statement concerning the cotton holding movement has been issued by D. W. Watkins, acting director of extension,’ Clemson Col- lep. . “In spite of daily fluctuations «i the cotton market the prospects favor a very material rise in prices early in the spring and bring the removal of all embargoes on cotton shipment’s. Europe is now devoid of civilian cot ton goods as well as of stocks of raw J cotton. Demands from western Euro pean countries as well as from Japan are on the Increase. Restrictions on cotton shipments are being removed, as an example of which might be men tioned the granting of through bills ot overseas a few days ago, having been stationed in Engtand, near the English Chnnel for the past six months. These men's homes are within 350 miles of Camp Jackson, hence they were brought here for demobilization. Some of them are from South Carolina while others are from North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. A number of these men are aviators and were com pleting their instruction in flying In England when the armistice was sign ed and they were soon afterwards or dered home. The ship which brought them from England brought 5,000 men in all. One of the men said that while England wus all right and the Eng- glish girls are all right, still he pre ferred -the United Stated and the American girls. These men will be demobilized within the next few days. He told them that many men were soldiers at the Liberty Theatre Major Milligan, camp adjutant, took occa sion to speak to the men about the government agent now at Camp Jack- son representing the labor department of the government.

St. Matthews.—News from a hospit al In Columbia aesures the friends of John McLaucklin, Sr., that he will not lose his hand as the result of an acci dent of which Mr. McLauchlln was a few days ago the victim. . While , watching the packing of a bale of-cot ton at the local oil mill, Mr. McLauch- . lin noticed that one corner of the bag ging was hanging loose. He put out bis hand to straighten it, and Juet as It came in contact with the cotton, the heavy packing block descended upon it with full force. Mi. McLauchlln was rushed to • the hospital where, after an X-ray examination, the sur- j geon determined that an amputation could be avoided. However, he will carry a stiff hand the remainder of his life. This comee as u second vis itation of misfortune on Mr. McLauch lln within recent years. Only a few years ago, his mules ran away with him. throwing him from the wagon and breaking a leg, from which ht has never recovered.

Farmers throughout the South who bales of cotton would be exported this season in excess of the amount ex ported last season, will be realized. “With- the shortness of the present crop and with the growing demand which it now appears will reach its most acute stage in March, 1919, the cotton holding movement being de ducted by the producers stands every chance to meet with success. It is to be hoped that this experience may be the beginning of a system of mar keting cotton which will supply the staple gradually to meet existing de mands, and thereby insure a fair price at all times to the producer. Sick Folks Buy Physic. The demand for liquor for medicinal purposes is steadily on the increase, according to figures at the office of the judge of probate for Richland county.
