To the boys and girls of Horry County: Dear school mates and friends: I am today writing a few lines to this paper in great liopos it will be of interest to each of you. Just a few days ago I was a student in District No. 10 of Horry County. I was very careless indeed, did not care anything about my books at all, I only drug through an-1 tried to keep up with my classmates, .sometimes not even that.

After a period of time I heard the call of a man of whom it took some education, so my, officer said to me: Can you hold .a I position as apprentice petty officer? ! That indeed is some position for a1 sailor to begin with. I said I haven't the education, sir, and you don't intend to have it, he replied. I will give you a chance, he said, to learn to be a stenographer, if you care to id Mules I Jk > selection of Horses and J eek a car load of Virginia ir choice before they are V i 5 Bros. N. C.

I am now taking a course in law which of j course is in correspondence. I am do i ing my bit for my country too. I I guess you will wonder what my i present position is in the navy. I am la first-class petty officer in the engineer force of course. I have had a good time on my six tiips to France. I have seen several submarines and heard many cannons roar which, of course, was quite a ; noise to a country boy. I was awarded a medal for the res- j cuing of a French girl from the hands of death. I am permitted to I wear the greatest flag ever presented ! to man in the uniform. I have written this in groat hope j that it will be of some interest to some home boy or girl. I am today in New York County, the greatest county in the world, but this kid will stay in old Horry if he ever gets the chance again. j Yours Sincerely, Nathan E.

Mr C'lrawnv u-tid while he would not charge manipulation as the cause of the decline he ' had information an agreement had. been made in this country to sell cotton to foreign countries at a contract price less than that which cotton had brought in the open market here. "No market regulated by the law of supply and demand could sag for $SP>7,000,000 as has the cotton market in the last two months, especially with the supply constantly growing less." Representative Eagle declared that '"English cotton spinners manipu'ate the market through their agents, the New York and New Orleans cotton gamblers." He added that New England manufacturers had contract ed to sell cotton goods on a basis of paying .'17 1-4 cents a pound for the raw product and said that any price under that amount was "so much in the hands of the speculators." Mr. Heflin also accused manipulators with causing the decline in the market and added that unless congress takes action financial hardships will ensue through the South.

But we know that our loss is his eternal gain. < Thou art gone, our precious dar- < ling; Never more cans't thou return.
