Cotton receipts were quite heavy last
week and much was sold as soon as
ginned. The seed market climbed up
still higher and the buyers wore all
busy as a consequence. A good many
of the smaller planters have harvested
nearly their whole crops already. All

of corn than expected some weeks

TWENTY CENT COTTON.
Nineteen Bales of Long Staple Sold on
l ocal Market for 'High Price.
From The Delly Item, Oct. 15.
Mr. H. C. llaynsworth today sold to
Mr. C. P. Exum, the local representa?
tive of Gordon McCabe, of Charleston,
nineteen bales of long staple cotton
for the round price of twenty cents.
This cotton was grown by Mr. Hayns?
worth on his farm near the city and
was ginned at the Sumter Ginnery.
So far as known, this is the highest
price paid on the local market for any
considerable lot of staple cotton this
season. Mr. Haynsworth has been
growing staple cotton for several
years and has selected his seed care?
fully, with the result that he has de?
veloped a line grade of cotton that
commands the top of the market.

Rev. T. L. Ooie Resigns to Go to Up
per Fort of Btato Kershaw County
Association Meeting.
Pisgah, Oct. 17.?The cotton is
nearly all picked and the crop is just
as light as was expected. The price for
it and the seed will help those having
short crops to pay debts.
Pcavine hay has been about saved?
the crop is line, the best we over bad
generally through the country. A ride
through a portion of Kershaw county
shows a fine system of roads credit?
able to any country.
The Supervisor, Mr. West, is an up
to-date man and keeps the roads in all
sections in fine order. It makes me
ashamed to see a portion of our coun?
try roads, especially, the Columbia
road. Maybe we will have good roads
some day.
Rev. T. L. Cole has resigned his
church here and will accept work in
the upper portion of the State.
The Kershaw Association meet with
the Thorn Church seven miles from
Kershaw Wednesday of this week and
adjourned Thursday afternoon. Dr.
Charles A. Jones, State Educational
Secretary, and Rev. J. K. Hair, repre?
senting the Baptist Couirer, attended
and added much to the interest of the
meeting. The churches were fairly
represented, and the whole session was
marked by a high Christian tone and
was very harmonious.
J. E. DuPre was elected moderator,
J. L. Cato clerk, and Mr. C. West,
treasurer. The reports from the
churches show that much good work
was d> ne during the past association
year. The next meeting will be at
Beaver Dam church In October, 1916.
Measures were put on foot for aggres?
sive work next year. Thorn ahurch
was named after an eminent layman
who recently died. It is a pretty
church in the midst of a line people
who showed every attention to the
pleasure of the delegates. The ladies
had dinner both days and it was as
fine and abundant as writer ever saw.
Enough to feed four times as many as
attended. I am happy to say that all
the delegates survived the occasion.

Mr. Lawrence B. Lackey, formerly

I was sorry that my health was

Gov. Manning appointed me one of
the delegates from South Carolina.
But my health is very poor of late. I
have been quite sick since I last wrote
for the Watchman and Southron. I
begin to feel myself again, so hope
to claim my space a little oftener.
Well, Mr. Editor, I was very much
surprised at the large majority for]

informs me, have gone out of busi?

curse them for eating the feed, says
