COTTON LETTER
(Fvirnlahed by Mac Do well A Co.)
New Orleani. Dec. 2.?The advanc?
ing tendency of market waa checked
today by several depressing develop?
ments. It Is rumored that English
spinners have voted in favor of hulf
time. An esttoatc for a crop of 12,
790.090 bales exclusive of Unters was
issued by prominent New York
h us? It Is rumored that the nat?
ional ginners report on ginnlngs to
I>ecetnber 1st and their crop estimate
will ?be very bearish. Expectations
are for small mill takings for week
tomorrow compan d with last yoar'n
471.000.
If British spinners adopt half time
by ballot, which means that the Brit?
ish mills would run only three days
a week, that in those using American
cotton. It w"nl i be a very unfavorable
develop met **\< > far as the Interest of
the southern tarmer la concerned.
As regards the probable alse of the
crop, ?ettmaten recently were high as
19.000.000 boles exclualve of lintera
and estimates of that character have
been about discounted in the low lev?
el of prices.
Nevertheless if the consumption is
to be curtailed further by llntlsh
mills, and to the extent of 50 per cent,
auch a development would likely force
values to a lots er level depending upon
tha duration of the curtailment
Cntil today there was hope that the
proposition to reduce spindles in the
British lalea using American cotton to
ths extent of (0 per cent would bs
defeated but t able advices today in
diacte that the vote will carry in favor
of the contemplated curtailment.
The only hope fo rmnrket waa for
consumption to increase not only m
America where some few ndlls aro
preparing; to r.sume operations, but in
the United Kingdom as well.
Situation looka more unfavorable
than ever, especially regarding sit -
nation abroad because if British spin?
ners rind It n-ccsaary to reduce cot
sumption of American cotton In llrlt
Ish Isl??s by oi ?-half It would Indicate
that the DrMlntl trade outlook is VOf!
bod indeed. However there Is soms
consolation In the fact that centra!
Europe especially Germany, is taking
more largely of American cotton thl<
season, as escorts from the United
States of late have been for the con?

The opening price of the Mick? v

high, In comparison with other lines

seen the line say that the tlrm has
more than 3ft patterns In Its lowest
price range, thus giving retailers a
real selection at the opening price,
rather than the arbitrary choice of

so often happens.

To the Editor of The News and
Courier; The papers are filled with
accounts f homicides, and these are
mere consequences of our defective
Judlcal system. Let the South Caro?
lina legislature provide for the elec?
tion of defendants' attorneys for
every Judicial district in the state and
have them paid by the state, the same
salaries as the prosecuting attorneys,
and where additional counsel s need?
ed, havo it supplied b the attorney
general without one suggestion as to
the person to be sent ?;s an assistani
to the district defendants attorney
from the deiendae.l. his family, or
friends. Let Soi.in Carolina lead In
this movement, as I have bOSfl i?-'g
ging her to do, as you know 1 have, for
many years. Hy reference to your is?
sue of April 28th, 1914, you will see
one of my articles, and your editorial
on that article telling of the adoption
of this system hy the district Of Loi

this change Is assured, but I do wish

TNESDAY'S GAME.
One more minute and the result
might have been different. Fate
seemed 10 be against Sumter yester?
day and the locals never obtained any
of the "breaks" of the game. Char?
leston had a decided advantage In
weight and on a muddy field were
able to make better headway on line
plunges.
The n cord shows that Sumter made ;
more first downs than Charleston but
that the visitors gained slightly more
ground. The battery boys were able
to make more headway In the third |
period than at any stage of the game.
It was in this period that they ob- '
tained possession of the wet and slip?
pery ball by reason of a short kick j
within striking distance of the game?
cock's goal and later made their lone
score.

The officials were unanimous in
their praise of the Sumter team and
Its well-nigh perfect execution of their
intricate shift play. Coach Johnson,
of P. C. stated that it was the ftrgt '
time in his recollection that he had
ever seen such a play attempted by
a school team. i

The union plumbers went on strike
Wednesday as the result of the re?
fusal of the employtrg plumbers to
accede to their demand for an Increase
of two dollars a day in the wage scale.
Under an agreement that has been
(jfectlve for some months the plum?
bers have been paid $8 per day f6r
. i^ht hours work. A short time ago
the unfon served notice on the em?
ploying plumbers that oVi and after
I >< i eml er 1st the wage scale would be
$10 per day for eight hours' work.
The employing plumbers notified the
union that under existing conditions
the advance in wages was not only un?
reasonable, but impossible* and that
they would not pay the wages demand
* d by tlu? union plumbers. Therefore
the men did not go to work today and
all plumbing work is at a standstill
the lime being. The employing
plumbers Will hire non-union plumbers
to lid, the places of the strikers, and
It is expected, owing to the present
condition in the labor market, that a
full fOrce of workmen will be easily
obtainable In a short time. It is stated
that hen after Sumter plumbers will
rate on the open shop p* ineiple. It
: seem that the union plumbers
selected a most unfortunate time te
