And this offer will hold good for one month, provided our wants are not satisfied earlier. Last Fall many of our patrons were materially aided by our offer of ten cents for middling cotton and above when its market value was 7 1-2 and 8 cents. This year we will make an additional reach and offer 12 cents for Middling Cotton and above in exchange for merchandise or in settlement of accounts. The speculators may think this an unbusiness proposition on our part, but the interest of our patrons is one of our well known business policies, hence this liberal offer. We will also allow $1.00 per busel for sound Corn, and $1.25 per bushel for clean Peas. The SUMTER DRY iii;i>i:ij,.iiAYNSAVOHTH WFDD1NG ?

Warning by a Cotton Merchant. C. s. Webb, cotton merchant and, j incidentally, mayor of Greenville, in a I newspaper Interview rrges Southern ! farmers to persevere In the policy of last year in reducing the cotton acre? age. He points out that if the war should end the domand for cotton used in the manufacture of tents, uniforms, explosives, bandages and sundry other appliances of warfare will ceaae and tt.at the Europeans, who consume G5 per cent, of the Southern cotton crop, will be too poor to buy cloth and yarn CXCCpt to Sat- | isfy their necessities. There is scarce? ly a man or vornan who under the stress of poverty, can not cut down in-, consumption of cloth by half without suffering actual discomfort. Mr. Webb'i opinion is manifestly .sound. The reasons to reduce cot? ton production are even stronger now thai they were a year ago. Had the war ended at the beginning of 1915 the reduction in consuming power of 400,000,000 people would have been comparatively slight. The danger that Southern, planters will throw away the advantage that they have gained in 1916 by overdoing the cotton business next year is very real.?The State. Blirlnen Report Big Time.

Tcjbe Struck at and narrowly miss? ed by a rattle snake with 120 rattles and a button, was the thrilling and l nen^ied experience of a Charleston hunter, who several days ago, went on a deer drive about 30 miles up the CooMr river. Some versed in the ways < f sniikes assert that a rattler doesn't . trike w ithout hitting at this season of the year when their poison sacks ? re Riled nearly to the bursting point, rendering them practically blind and r?c?edtng1y venomous, with an sc- ' eurab sense of smell by which they I direct an attack, 'ine cube of the Charleston hunter might be cited as an exception to the rule that a rattler strikes to hit, and hits. "I was crossing the woods with a companion," said the hunter, "when I heard the snake's warning, and look? ing down I saw the reptile coiled and his diamond shaped head pointed di? rectly at me. Immediately I jumped to one side, almost losing my balance and falling on the snake, which struck as T jumped. He fell about a foot short and while he was recoiling, I jump? ed again and kept going. *Ty com? panion shot him. I went on to an open road and held the middle of this road until I came to the boat eight niles away. I am satisfied that if I had jumped but a second later, I would have been a dead man." After killing the snake, he was lound to possess 20 rattles and a but? ton, indicating that he was a veteran, whose fangs were an inch long, and whose bite would have resulted in a horrible death. The rattles and but? ton are preserved by one of the party, who hadn't the enthusiasm to con? tinue the hunt. Mrs. s. J. McFaddin Dead. Marvin, Nov. 26.?Mrs. S. J. Mc?
