Ehrhardt, Sept 7.?Well there
nothing that we have heard > cuss<
and discussed but cotton. How
Bell, where to sell and how much
sell for. It seems as if the who
topic to solve the situation is a war
house.
They seem to think this will sol
the situation and by putting the cc
ton in same will cause the farme
to get as much as 12 1-2 cents p
pound for their cotton. This mig
be true but I can't see where the
is any guarantee of getting any mo
than we are getting now. The
might be more chance of getting
better price for cotton if we cj
afford to hold it indefinitely. T!
war situation might hold on for :
months or two years yet. No tellii
what, or how long before we can si
cotton will bring 10 or 12 cents
\ our market, so it's no use to wor
our minds about any price for cc
ton. The best we can do is to pk
for living at home in the futu
and hereafter plant cotton as a su
plus crop. Had this been done th
year we could have talked abo
warehousing our cotton indefinite
and lived on, but as it is bank p
pers, fertilizer notes, mule notes, r
tion bills and automobiles and tl
like say sell and pay me, can't 1
you have any more until you pay u
In fact the county at large is in

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
First Instalment of Emergency Cur3S
rency Forwarded.
Columbia, Sept. 5.?That the outlook
for the banks of South Carolina
h6
to get government money with which
to move the cotton crop is brighter,
is the opinion of E. J. Watson, commissioner
of agriculture, who said
is this morning that he had received
ed information that the first instalment
to rvf th? pmerreripv currencv for this
to State issued under the amendment
>le to the Vreeland-Aldrieb currency bill
e- had been 6ent to the People's National
Bank in Charleston amounting to
ve $125,000. Mr. R. G. Rhett, the pres>t
ident of this bank, is still in the
ts North looking after getting money
er for South Carolina,
ht Col. Watson said that J. Pope Matre
thews, cashier of the Palmetto Nare
tional Bank, and G. M. Berry, cashier
re of the National Loan and Exchange
a Bank, of Columbia, representing the
in South Carolina Currency association,
tie were in Washington with the proper
12 <?r>11atpr&] to e-et the emereencv cur
ag rency for this State. Mr. Watson
ay thinks the reason this money has not
in been gotten earlier is because the
ry Currency association in this State
>t- was slow in organizing.

The Philanthropist and the Elephant
The Philanthropist: "Is this the
elephant?"
The keeper, a practical person:
"That's what it'6 called."
"I mean is this the elephant that is
chained and deprived of its liberty?'
"I never saw one that wasn't"
"Wasn't what?"
"Deprived of its liberty."
You know very well that this unhappy
creature has been brutally
treated and chained to the floor, and
prevented from taking the exercises
that an all-wise creator intended for
it. I know what you will say. You
will say the elephant it untrustworthy
and and treacherous and dangerous.
That's the usual old story. But
have you ever tried kindness?"
"Tried everything, sir."
"Ah, but not in the right spirit. Let
me show you. Here, old fellow, nice
old fellow?nobody will hurt you.
Nice old chappie. Want a peanut?"
The chained elephant 6norts violently,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
and thrusting out his trunk blows
off the philanthropist's spectacles and
hat and with a wild shriek tries to get
his trunk around the good man's
neck.
i ne pniianmropisi iaiiing oac-K in
cvild affright:
"Get away from here, you fiapeared
old brute! You try that again
and I'll jab my umbrella into your
mangy old ribs, you old ruffian!"
And the keeper draws him away
scolding and fuming.
