COTTON BROKERS ON STOCK OF COTTON LEFT Mi. H. H. Woodward, Editor, Conway, ?& .C. : The ?;tUxvKv.d letter from my cot- 1 I ton pe'opk Middleton & Com- 1 puny, oi Ciia: liston, S. C., giving us near as they can the.cxtict situation 1 of the cotton prices the coming season will explain itself. , 1 1. trust yviu. c. u give the same a place in \v\u- papev. and too, I think too general public, should turn more * of their attention to fuodstull'b foi both man and beast, as all such is soaring in price and there is nothing y' in sight to indicate any change in prices. Yours very truly, W. Percy Haidwkke. Mr, Ws Percy Hardwickc, Conway, S. C. .With the view of giving our friends in the country some ideas of the stock of cotton left in thi" country, we have carefully compiled the following figures of cotton actually on hand, in round figures: Mill Stocks 2.^00,000 Interior To was 1,100,00 Stocks at Ports. . . . .1,300,000 Balance of Cicp 2,900,000 Total , .. 7,000,000 Estimated American mills will use...^ ...3,500,000 Estimated Exports,. ..1,500,000 Total 5,000,000 Leaving stock on hand Aug. 1st . .2,000,000 This leaves a balance of unsold cotton, amounting to 2,000,000 on th' first of August next. Whether right or wrong, the impression prevails tllnf <1 VOI'M lflV/Vi", />! /?? ..-ill l.n .,..1 I ..... V U y v. I?I 5^; v i v\ i 11 IJVJ {Mil IF' the ground, a/nd it is estimated that , the Government Report of the acre age, to he issued next July, will show the largest acreage on record. We hardly think these figures point to 20c cotton this summer, and while we are hot Bearish on the situI atlon, we suggest that our friends think over those figures, as they are about as correct and as moderate as any tiling we have seen. The cessation of the war, or "damaged reports" for C'c next crop, are the only things to our mind, that will cause any advance in prices. t MIDDLETON &. CO. .

SERIOUS REVOLUTION REPORTED IN RUSSIA Stockholm.?Reports of serious disturbances in Russia are published , in Swedish newspapers. The Tidhiangen of Sundsvaal publishes a state ment that a railroad bridge over the j Neva river, in Petrograd, has been dynamited by revolutionists. The Nyheter of Haparanda prints an interview with a Swedish business j :v.an who arrived in Petrograd Sutu-* ( day from Moscow. This man is filleted as saying there hud been open revolution in many cities of Russia since last Thursday. Especially vio- , lent riots are reported to have occur , ltd in Petrograd on Saturday, shops being stormed by mobs. According to this information, publication of ^ newspapers was suspended and the , authorities posted placards warning the people to remain indoors to avoi i (lunger. , The Nyheter says that other trav | ilers from Petrograd report that | similar disturbances occuried there on Friday, that the soldiers were compelled to use their sabres aiul ( that many persons were wounded. o PROGRAM OF THE BUCK CREHIC UNION Which Will Co':vc:ie at Springfield ?

Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up a corn or callus so it lifts off with fingers. Yotn corn-pestered men and wom^n reed suffer 110 longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of 'freezone applied directly on a tender, .itching .corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted out, root| and all, without pain. A small bottle of freezone cost! very !liil.tle at any drug store, but will j positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as'it is inexpensive and ins said not to irritate the surrounding :skin. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tbe'll him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale dlrug house. It is fine stuff and acts like a charm. overv time.?ndv. o?
