Cotton Embargo Will Not Hurt Us.
There is no reason in the world .
for cotton growers to be alarmed
about the United States Government's
embargo against the shipment
of cotton to certain European
countries which have been furnishing
supplies to Germany, is the
opinion of bankers and business men
who have carefully studied the situation
and A'ho have satisfied themselves
that the embargo will do the
cotton growers no harm whatever.
The facts are these:
/ In 1916 the five countries affected
by the embargo?i e, Holland, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden and Switzer- :
land?took only 300,000 bales of
American cotton.
In 1916 the total American cotton
I
crop consumed in this country and ,
sold abroad was 12,438,251 bales. ]
The 1917 crop, according to esti- 1
mates of the U S department of '
agriculture, will run to a total of j
12,499,000 bales, which is 939,251 (
less than the 1916 crop. ,
This shortage of the 1917 crop as
compared with the 1916 crop is
more than three times as great as
the total cotton bought last year by
Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden
and Switzerland.
Another important factor in the
situation is that American mills this
year will consume a tremendous
quantity of cotton in excess of last
year's consumption, by reason of the
fact that khaki uniforms must be
manufactured for nearly 2,000,000
soldiersand thousands of tents must
be made.
Guard Against Fire.
The following letter that has been
received by Mr M H Jacobs is selfexplanatory
and is published for the
information of property owers:
Chief of Fire Department,
Kingstree, S C.
Dear Sir:?Help to reduce the
shingle roof fires by advising the
people at this season of the year,
that they should put a pieco of old
sheet zinc or an old discarded dry
cell battery in their fire places
and stoves. The fumes from this
will rid the chimneys of soot and
save money and houses.
Help prevent fires by urging people
to rid their cellars, garrets and
premises of trash. Have no greasy
rags about the house to start spontaneous
cambustion fires. Do not
put ashes of any kind in wooden
hnves Renlaee weathered shincrles
with tin or some non-combustible
roof and see that their electrical
wiring has not the insulation worn
off and is in good order.
Help save the property of the
people. This may not reduce insurance
rates but it will save loss to
many citizens.
Very truly,
F H McMaster,
Insurance Com.

National Cotton Council Calls a Con- j
ference for October.
Boston, September 25:?The Na-j
tional Council of American Cotton
Manufacturers issued a call today
for a conference in Washington on
October 5 to consider ways and,
-
means for a speedier and more eco-;
nomic movement of the cotton crop,
from the South to mills in New
England. Rufus R Wilson, acting
secretary of the council, said the
meeting had been called with the
approval of the department of commerce
and the railroad war board
and that it was desired to have
planters, manufacturers and representatatives
of the railroads attend.
"The abnormal conditions resulting
from the u-boat campaign and
the shipment of war supplies," the
call stated, "have seriously reduced
the cargo space available for the ex- j
port and coastwise shipment of cot-1
ton. Indeed, there is every prospect
that at an early date the North-1
?rn manufacturer must rely on shipment
by rail for his supply during
the coming year. Moreover, the

With spires that glitter high;
Vith playing fountains everywhere
And flowers blooming nigh.

Nor the money that makes us smile,
Hs the hearts within, that are true

And beckons some highway, the

With many, merry lassies.
