Editor Pre«8 and Standard: I am certainly dtwnfounded at the cotton market the last thirty days. In the face of the feet that the acreage is only a little above what it was last yerr thus producing a 15,00fy$00 bale crop. We see the price way down below the cost of producing a crop such as the present year has been. There is something rotten about this aomewhere. As we are not going W have a 15,0(Mf,000 bale crop or anything of the kind. I take several papers, all which pay much attention to cotton and I have eeen five or six had reports where I have seen one good one. These reports cover the entire cotton belt. So where are all these bumper crop re ports coming from to send the 'price to the gutter before the cotton is gathered., Lam persuaded to believe the big weed cotton coiners this year has misled the reporting world. This of course, is caused by over supply of rain which has fallen incessantly since July 3 for this season. There has been little plowing done since Juna. Every cotton larmer knows it is impossible to hold the August and September fruit on cotton without July plowing. To my certain knowledge this has been the condi tion over a large territory and from South Carolina, North Carolina Geor and Mississippi, come the report of rain just as it has been here. Grass and weeds have as r naural consequence took posses sion of a vast area in cotton. It was in 1903 this big weed fooled the people and had them thinking a mighty crop was being made, and the following winter cotton went to 17cts. Only a day or so ago I read a report from a New York paper stating that as an economic certainty, cotton was seeing the 9c level, which would at that price net, a handsome profit to the growers, etc. These bucket shop experts who write such letters have never raised cotton and don’t have much idea what it costs at 10 cents. We of oonrse do get a reasonable profit, but we don’t get what we should have at any price. It now comes time for the farmer to step right np and defend his own interest and pot a stop to cotton going on the market at less than 10 cents. For jndging by the way it is selling now we cannot make it at a profit Barely the farmers and teukers of the Soath can carry one-half of the cotton crop, and if they will only do so we will get a living price for it, and if they don’t we will get 8 or even lees. I have observed closely and 1 can’t to aave am see any justification in ootson being as low it is. Where is oar Boathern Cotton Awooiatkn? God knows if they ever expect to be of any benefit to the over-abused cot ton planter, now is the time to lend a helping hand. We shonld have every state, county, township organ ised and simply keep enough cotton Off the market to save the people from another destruction period of low cotton. & Whore is our warehouse? What has the chairman done? We should have had it wmpleted by the first of Sept to help to protect our cotton from a declining market. I notice, Mr Editor, since I wrote my article that the association has fixed the minimum price at 10c. Si lets stand pat for it and give all our support to the association. Getsiuger, S C. t*. M.

A Friend Result of the Second Primary Election There have been some interesting developidem* sin e th“ recent primary election. The second race for ouuty f commissioner was between Ulmer, Dopron, Blocker and Crosby—two to be elected. The vote as it stood was very close, Dopson receiving 1*70, Urosbv y-t'J, Blocker 1»48, and Ulmer i»45 Neces sary to electieu 953. Therefore Dopson was elected. A third race being neces sary between Crosby and Blocker. * This result was obtained by the re fusal of the executive committee to count the Young’s Island vote which gave Ulmer and Dop>ou each 6b vote?, and nothing for the other cindidaier. This vote was thrown out because the poll list did uot accompany the boxes when sent in after the primary. This the executive committee held Was suffi cient violation of the rule to cause them to refuse to couut the vote. Ulmer thou appealed from the de- ciaiou of the county execativ© commit tee ou the grounds that the faiinre to send the poll list was only a technical violation of the statute, and for th£ further reason that Crosby and Blocker had filed bat cue expense account for the second primary. Subsequent to this appeal six members of the county ex ecutive committee tilsd a written re quest with the county chairmin, M. P. Howell, Jr, askifeg him to call another meeting of the executive committee to take the matter up agniu. This he has done. The meeting will be held Thurs day. It is not knowu what the outcome of this meeting will be. Latera—A telegram has just been re ceived by County Chairman Howell from the State executive committee, declaring Ulmer elected, ordering him to connt the Yoang's Island vote, and to throw out the vote for Crosby and Blocker because they had not filed two expense accounts.
