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.

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.

DIG SNAKE LUNGES AT HUNTER.
_ I
I.oral Sportsman Narrowly Escapes
Fatal Stroke From Rattler.
('hacleston Post.
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.
