TIHTEEN CENTS IS
THE MINIMUM PRICE.
FIIEI IT TIE SMTIEIR COTTON
ASSOCIATION FOR TIIS TUB'
COTTON GUP.
E South Carolina will instruct ,
President G D Smith, of the ,
Southern Cotton association, to
Bvote for a price of at least 13
cents per pound for cotton sold
Hbis year. This was decided
^Rpon recently at a meeting of
Hhe presidents of the county associations
of cotton growers,
Where being about 49 delegates
I present in Columbia, from 21
I counties, as we learu from our
I exchanges.
I All of the delegates agreed
I that this should be the rainiI
mum price for cotton, so far as
WSouth Carolina is concerned.
and from reports received on
conditions of the crop the farmers
are now passing through
the critical period. The cotton
crop is late and there is little
chance for an increase in the ese,
which is one million
bales for South Carolina, but a
chance for a decrease, with unfi
favorable weather conditions.
The State, however, is in better
condition than any cotton
growing State and therefore is
in position to dictate the price,
jft Mr Smith thought that the en tire
crop would amount to about
13,000,000 bales or a million less
than last year, and the South
^Carolina officials of the Associa
I ion arc wiuiug ivr 10 tcuia as
, line below wbich no bale will
ie sold, and should conditions
le still further unfavorable the
irice should be even higher.
*he matter ot price for cotton
broughout the South will be
ranged at the meeting of exeutive
committee of the Southrn
Cotton association to be
eld at Jackson, Miss., on the
Th<? Association also adonted
Ijan important resolution agreeiing
to push the use of low grade
cotton for the manufacture of i
heavy duck for bagging in
place of the jute and burlaps
now used. The heavy duck
could not only be used for cotton
but for grain and fertilizers.
At present the use of burlap
and jute causes the American
cotton to arrive in European
ports badly damaged and bursting
through the bales, while the
cotton from Egypt and India
\s well packed and brings highm
prices.
Bpresident Smith will bring
lis up at the cotton meeting at
mckson, and will endeavor to
lass the South Carolina idea, as
I is of, vast emportance to the
kporters.

NEGROE S AIM SHOT OFF.
Result ot a Sunday Morning Row Near
Reiser's I Roads.
In a row wbich ^jcurred Sunday
morning at a negro cabin, near Belser's
X Roads, Doc Brownfield, one
of the inmates, had one of his arms
Bhot so badly that it had to be amputated
It is a peculiar fact that although
the shooting occurred at 10
o'clock iu the morning a1! the
parties concerned deny knowledge of
who wielded the weapon?a shot-gun
?that inflicted the wound.
Dr TV V Brockiugtou attended
fka in in rod man and with the aSSlSt
ance of Drs Jacobs and Kelley amputated
the arm near the shoulder.
The wonud is a desperate one and,
albeit, at this writing, the negro is
still alive, his chauces for recovery
are slight.
Hews metes From Scrutoe.
Scranton, September Si-Farmers
of this section have begun gatb-j
ering their cotton. There have been
several bales ginned and sold herej
in the past few days. Mr H B Le?
was the first to bring a bale to this
market, also Mr Cannon had the
pleasnre of trying his new ginnery
for the first time. It did excellent
work and at a rapid speed.
Miss French Coward is spending
this week with friends at Lacile.
Quite a large crowd attended the
James Shelby show in Scranton last
Friday.
Dr W S Lynch was in Charleston
on business a few days last week.
Messrs Fred Hines and Fletcher
Brown went to Columbia Tuesday.
Mr Arthur Gore of Clarendon, N

Scranton a pleasant visit last week.
About 150 people from Scranton
spent Labor day in Florence.
Mr Sam Cockfield has recently
been elected chief of police of Scranton.

Hemingway Hotel Closed.
On Tuesday morning last the
Hemingway Hotel closed its doors to
the publiG. Under the efficient manage
meot of the proprietress, Mrs M
R Hemingway, this has been for the
past fire years one of the most popular
hotels between Charleston and
Wilmington, and the menu provided
was proverbial with the travelling
public for its excellence.
Mrs. Hemingway's reasons for retiring
from the hotel business are
purely personal and in no way the
result of a decline in patronage of
her house. *

Dalian a Tei.
Cades, September 4:?As forecasted
last week, the cotton seed
market opened np lively. There are
eight buyers in the field and today
the price paid for seed is $20.25 a
too. We confidently believe Cades
to be the beet market for cotton seen
in Williamsburg county.
Cottn aid Cottii Seed layers
While the market has not as yet
formally opened, the following buyers
of cotton and cotton seed will
compete for their respective piodnets
during the ensuing season: Cotton
buyers: Hugh McCutchen, representing
Alexander Sprunt & Sons of
Wilmington, N C.; J 0 Kinder,
Spinners & Consumers Co, Charleston.
Inman & Co, of New York,
will also have a buyer here, probably
Mr A P Byars, who represented
them last season.
Seed buyers: D J Epps, representing
the Buckeye Cotton Oil Co, of /
Ohio; L P Kinder, the Southern Oil
CoJo^Richmond, Va; Robert, Fulton
the S C Oil Co, of Columbia; W R
Scott, the South Atlantic Oil Co.
There is always sharp competition
for seed on this market and this
season will doubtless be no exception L ?,
to the role.

Announcement
The Cotton Gins at Kingstree
are now being overhauled and
will soon be ready to gin all the
cotton that can be brought to
fh*?m from a radius of ten
miles.
The large Ginnery at the Oil
Mill is being remodeled and a
house added, and this ginnery
will turn out a bale every ten
minutes.
The down-town Ginnery,
which has established a reputation
for itself in the past, will
turn out a bale every twenty
minutes. So no one need have
any fear of being delayed.
The Kingstree Cottton Market
is known to be the best in
the country, and the Oil Mill will
pay the highest cash price for
your seed and give you the best
trade on Meal and Hulls.
