Realizing the disadvantage the d. people of Batnberg county have had R in buying trunks and suit cases, es- R ^ pecially in the summer, C. R.

BAMBERG BOY'S SUCCESS. Ensign D. Graham Copeland Win.1 Merited Promotion in the Navy. Only a few weeks ago we noted th< fact that Lieut. J. Wilson Riley hac been promoted in the army service he having been assigned as instructo in mathematics at West Point, whicl was a high honor. Now comes th< news that Ensign D. Graham Cope land, of the navy, who has been aid' to the commanding officer of the U S. S. Dixie, has been promoted. H< has been detached from duty as aid< to the commanding officer of th< Dixie, which by the way, is the flag ship of the Atlantic torpedo fleet, an< ordered to special duty with th< bureau of yards and docks at Wash ington, D. C. This means that oi reporting to the secretary of th< navy in Washington he will receiv< his commission as civil engineer ii the navy with the rank of Lieuten ant of the line. This is a most desirable appoint ment, for it not only carries with it ai increase in salary to $3,000 a year but he will also have a three years course of instruction at the Ren saeller Polytechnic Institute at Troy N. Y., the leading engineering uni versity of the world, and everythinf absolutely at the expense of the gov ernment. The many friends of Mr Copeland in his old home will lean with delight of his deserved promo tion, and congratulate him on hii success in his chosen profession. While Mr. Copeland's record en titled him to this promotion, he owes this rise in rank and salary to th( efforts of Congressman J. O. Pat terson, who, although Mr. Copelanc was not an appointee of his in th< navy, learned that he had been rec ommended for the place. Mr. Patter son thereupon secured Mr. Cope land's record at the Citadel, at th( Navy Academy, and in the active service, and personally appeared befon the secretary of the navy and Admiral Holliday to urge his appoint ment. That he was successful shows what influence Mr. Patterson has with the departments as well as the high standing of Mr. Copeland, foi as the appointment is a most desirable one, there were a number of officers from Northern States who were applicants, and they were support'ec by some very influential Republicar Senators. It is high tribute to Mr Patterson's ability and influence thai he was able to win out against suet odds, and both he and Mr. Copelanc are to be warmly congratulated or the assignment. Bamberg boys always make a fine record wherever placed. Riley in the army and Copeland in the navy argiving their home folks reason to be very proud of them. Cotton Average on July 25th. Washington, August 2.?The aver age condition of the cotton crop or July 25 was 75.5 per cent, of a nor mal, according to a bulletin of the crop reporting board of the depart ment of agriculture, issued at noor to-day. The average condition was 80.7 on June 25; 71.9 on July 21 last year; 83.0 in 1908; 75.0 ii 1907;, and 79.4 the ten-year average. Comparison of conditions by States follows: State. 1910 10-yeear-av Virginia 80 81 North Carolina 71 80 South Carolina 70 80 Georgia 70 SI Florida 70 83 Alabama 71 78 Mississippi 71 78 Louisiana 69 78 Texas 82 79 Arkansas 73 80 Tennessee 76 82 Missouri 72 84 Oklahoma 87 81 California 98 ? While the average condition in th< cotton crop fell below the average foi June, when it was 80.7, the decrease did not surprise experts who have kep informed of the conditions that have prevailed in the cotton belt. Heavj rains which occurred east of the Mis issippi during the month of July were known to be detrimental to the croi so that the decrease in the average o the condition was not unexpected.
