BUY A BALE OF COTTON. |
WllllamaKnvn Chnnlli Join III
This Worthy Movement.
The buy-a-bale-of-cotton movement
has spread rapidly through the
South since President Wilson became
the purchaser of a bale last 1
week. The movement has met with
special favor in South Carolina, and
nearly every city and town in the (
State has inaugurated and successfully
set on foot the buy-a-bale plan.''
Such a p^an, if put into working or- j'
of Vinncfma orirl nthpr Pnttflll '

markets in the county by our liber- j
al-hearted, public-spirited citizens 1
who are equipped financially to buy j'
a bale of cotton without inconven-.1
iencing themselves or families or
staying off personal debts, would be;'
a great help to the people of the
county, especially the srijall farmer'
who has only a few bales to dispose !!
of and is in need of cash.
Local lien merchants, we under-1
stand, are taking cotton on debts at1
10 cents the pound. They will store
this cotton in the warehouses here
as soon as the tobacco season closes j
and hold it for future developments I
in the price of the great Southern
staple.
We have been asked to advocate
the buy-a-bale plan. We do so because
we think it a good one. Already
we have located one citizen
who proposes toT put $350 in cotton
at 10c the pound, buying only one
bale from any farmer, and then on
condition that the farmer is worthy
and in need of cash. To save our
friend from being overwhelmed by
this particular class we withhold his
name, for we are confident that he
will invest his $350 in such a manner
as will insure the greatest benefit.
Another friend informed us a few
days ago that he intended to invest
$1,000 in cotton and he will very
probably follow the plan of the gentleman
who is going to spend $350. j
We would be glad to see the buya-bale
movement take root in Williamsburg
county.

Lake City, September 16:?The

3V~li L?U1 UUIIUIIJ^ lUi UCiiuui .w
No 50 wa;-' let last week to contractor
A R Lane of Florence. Work
will be commenced at an early date
and the building will be completed
Dn or before December 1. Much
credit should be given the trustees,
Messrs J B DuRant, E B Gaskins
and W H Gaskins, for the conservative
and efficient manner in which
they carried through the proceedingsjncident
to.the election to bond
the district, the disposal of the
bonds and the award of the contract
to build the school-house.
There will be a meeting of the
warehousemen of this section of
the State in Florence Saturday, at
which time it is believed they will
decide to close the markets about
the latter part of the week. Ab
though the season is nearing its
close there is much tobacco still unmarketed,
owing to the fact that
many have been holding back their
crops anticipating an advance in
price. Yesterday there were over
290,000 pounds marketed here.
What seemed to be a mighty profitable
beginning of the tobacco season
has turned out very poorly, indeed,
jwing to the depreciation in the
mnrlrp* nripp rtf thp nrnrlnpt r?psnitp
all of which, Lake City has held its
jwn. Realizing conditions farmers
ire not unreasonable in their demands.
The "buy-a-bale" movement has
not hit Lake City yet, why doesn't
someone start it? The South Carolina
Equal Suffrage League, by
means of each member contributing
ten cents, will buy a bale of cotton
from some deserving farmer and
will hold it until some future time
when it will be considered proper to
sell. So j much for the Suffrage
movement in South Carolina!
The cool wave has struck Lake
and evidently is pleased with the
surroundings, for it seems to be
willing to remain for some time. Of
course, it is most welcome, for the
time being.

At a meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Williamsburg
County Fair Association held at the
office of Secretary R N Speigner
Monday night it was decided to call
off the holding of a fair this fall, as
was originally proposed. This step
was deemed advisable by the committee,friends
and supporters of the
association owing to the present
cotton crisis and financial stringency
arising therefrom. The officers and
executive committee will continue
at work in the interest of the association,
with a view to holding a
rousing fair here next fall.
