PROSPECTS FOR 1922-1923 By E. EL Pringle. President Bank of Charleston, X. B. A, Coming events cast their shadows before, and the.creeping bull mar ket in southern cotton mill stocks, which has been developing for the last six weeks, seems to forecast a period of prosperity foT southern manufacturers who had so long a period of. hard times far almost seven years prior to July, 1915. One advantage which New Eng land, to some extent, and old Eng land/to a much greater extent, has ; seemed to possess over our south ern mills, has been their greater [ success in catching the right time to buy cotton, so that the difference in freight has been more than overcome, because this is only a small fraction of the difference be tween the low prices of the season and the high. Commission mer chants and bankers have generally discouraged the purchase of raw material except when hedged eith er by future sales on the cotton ex change, or when the goods were sold- for future delivery, and they have been especially insistent up on this policy being followed by southern mills, so:-that ourmahur fatturers may well feel entitled to take the position, that it is not for them to try to choose the right time or the wrong time to buy cot.-: ion, except in connection with the sale of their manufactured pro duct. ? The cheapest cotton year in and year out, is-'almost all spun-in England, because the English seem to be particularly skillful iti discerning- the opportune moment to enter the raw material marttets at or near" the bottom. They have .a-great advantage in their banks, each one directly or indirectly, in intimate touch with economic con-j dittons all over the world, and; moreover, each is so large that it j has a considerable number of men of the highest ability on its staff. There is- an especial' reason why American ?banks have discouraged the- purchase of raw material by Southern spinners before the goods were sold, and that is because so many of- our companies have been operating with a working capital entirely too limited for the suc cessful financing of the business, so that there has been no reserve of liquid assets to withstand a loss, if j one should be made, and one bad mistake placed the manager in the position of having Wagered the ex istence of his company on a single market situation. Both abroad and in New -England the importance of adequate working capital is appre ciated more than has been the case with us; as well, for the stability | which it gives to-i business as for the greater latitude in using h's own judgment, which makes it wise and -prudent for a skillful manufacturer to take upon him self. I The Southern Textile district lies along the eastern slope of the Ap- j palachian - Mountains, and all but) the northeastern extremity is read- [ ily accessible to the transmission I lines of the great power com pa-; nies, which constantly are extend ing their- facilities for turning into electric energy the streams-flowing towards the southeast, and to the) Atlantic. The northeastern ex-i tremity is near- the Virginia coalj fields, and toward the southwes tern end, from just over the moun- J tains, with but a short haul, roll the i trains from the mines of Tennessee. Throughout this whole region na ture has provided cheap and abundant stored up energy to be put to service by man's contriv ance. ^ New England maintains that it is the lower wage scale in the south which enables our mills to: make cheaper goods than they. Close investigation would seem to disclose that it is not low wages, but a low labor cost which gives to our manufacturers their admit ted advantage. If recreation and . welfare work, carried on by our southern manufacturers, are count ed as part of the pay received by j the operatives, our mills spend as j much for wages as New England,j and our operatives are far more | comfortable. In the south, our cotton factor ies are filled with native born Americans, industrious, efficient and many generations in clviliza-. tion above the foreign hordes from j southern and central Europe, which j make up the mill villages in New i England, where formerly the in-1 habitants were of British or Celtic j stock. Not only are our employees j more efficient and more intelligent,< but they are capable of developing, and generally do develop, a high, degree of loyalty to the ccmpany,j and of enthusiasm for their work, ! whereas the ignorant alien is an j easy prey to the labor agitator and; to the anarchist, and is readily led to adopt an attitude of constantly seeking after less work and more pay. At last, the final exodus of the cotton mills to the cotton fields seems to have commenced, and, strangely, it appears- to be due, not to the saving through proximity to the raw material, but to the su perior industrial efficiency of the pure-blooded American stock which have inhabited the Appalachian Mountains from before the days of the American Revolution.

DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH OF STATE Total Enrollment in Demo cratic Clubs Announced by Secretary Columbia, Aug. 12.?The total enrollment for South Carolina, as received from the different counties by H. N. Edmunds, secretary of the state Democratic executive committee, is 226,5S1. Secretary Edmunds has not yet totaled the figures himself and there may be a slight change, but the total is very neoT?v correct. This gives an increase ovr- the 1920 enrollment of 74,546 as the total then was 152;035. ' Women are believed to number at least this increase and possibly more and the indications are that over 75,000 women will participate in the primary this year for the first time. Oconee county is the only county in the state showing a decreased enrollment from 1-920,.according to the figures received by Mr. Ed | munds. In 1920 this county enroll jed 4,191 voters and this year only ' 3,790 have been enrolled. Greenville- leads the state with 16,131 with Sparta^hburg second with 14,787. . Charleston is third with 12,841. The enrollment by counties this year and in 1920 is as follows: - 1922. 1920.

C, Aug. 11.?Bish op John C. Kilgo of the Southern Methodist Episcopal church died at his home here at 1:45 this morning after having been extremely ill since last Sunday when he suffered a severe heart attack. , Bishpo Kilgo had been gradually sinking since last Thursday after noon and his death had been ex pected hourl3* by his physicians and family. Since Sunday little or no hope had been entertained for his recovery. Dr. Kilgo had been well known in the South for a score of years, having served as president of Trinity college at Durham, N. C.. for six years prior to his election as bishop 12 years ago. At the last general conference of the Southern Methodist church at Hot Springs, Ark., he was placed on the bishops' retired list. The aged minister had never entirely recovered from the severe attack suffered last spring on his way home from the general conference, which forced him to remain under treatment in a Memphis hospital for several weeks, finally being brought home on a cot in the private car of Fairfax Harrison, president, of the Southern railway, of which Bishop Kilgo was a director. He regained sufficient strength, however, to leave his bed and several times took rides about the city with mem bers of his family. He made one trip to Baltimore where he was under treatment of a specialist for several days. Bishop John Carlisle Kilgo was born in Laurens, S. C, July 22, 1861. son of James T. and Cather ine Mason Kilgo. He was? edu cated in the schools of his native state and received the honorary degree of DJ D. from Wofford and Randolph Macon colleges and Tu lane university. He was united in marriage with Miss Fannie Turner of Gaffncy. S. C. In 1882 he was ordained a minister in the Method ist Church. South, and served var ious pastorates in the South Caro lina conference until 1S89 when he ! was called to Wofford college as professor of philosophy and finan cial agent. In 1894 he was elected j president of Trinity collgee. Dur ham. X. C. where he served until 1910 wlu-n he was elected bishop of the Methodist church at the con ference in Ashevine. X. C. He was a delegate to the gen- j eral Methodist conference in 1JS94, I 1898. 11><>^. 1906 and 1910, delegate j to the Ecumenical Methodist con- 1 ference in London in 1901. He ' j was a fraternal delegate to the gen- j eral eonfereirce of the Methodist church in Los Angeles in ho made a speech advocating iho ' union of th^ Northern and South- ? em branches of the Methodist church.

ASSOCIATION WILL CARRY OLD COTTON Columbia, Aug. 13. ? Many members of the South Carolina Cotton Growers* Association have Signified their intention of selling their old cotton through the asso ciation, . and are ready to turn it over to the association the day the association is ready to receive j it, officials of the -association an-; nounced. Delivery of cotton grown prior to 1922 is optional! with the members, but scores of j them have written that they wish \ the association to handle it for i them j - Full instructions to the mem bership of the association regard ing the delivery of their cotton will go forward very shortly, it is announced. Every member will ' be told where to deliver his cotton,' ! receive his allowance, etc. These^ I instructions will be sent out by the field service department. The headquarters of the associa tion present a busy scene these days, a large force being at work day and night completing the prep ! arations for handling the cotton of ; the association's members. The ! association is now established in its i new quarters, 1425 Main street, which has been designated as "Cot : ton Co-operative Building." The ! office force is rapidly being organ ized. Officials of the association said today that every mail not only j brought assurances of the strong : est support and loyalty from ! members, but brought in many new contracts. Complete satisfaction ? with the progress of the new mem bership campaign is expressed and officials believe that the associa tion will begin its year with the largest sign-up of any co-operative in the belt. The association is al ready assured of. more money than it will need for financing the crop, it was said by officials. Money in abundance and at good terms has been offered it by the South Caro lina banks, the War Finance Cor poration and by banking institu tions in other sections of the coun try. The financial problem was one of the easiest to solve, it'was said. None of the state-wide cotton co-operative associations have ex perienced any difficulty in arrang ing for money this fall. The War Tina nee Corporation has approved advances aggregating $60.000,000 to them, and all of them have been J flooded with offers for money from j other sources. Officials of the as- j sociation point to this as proof of I the fact that in financial circles the co-bpenative marketing idea is looked upon with the greatest fa vor as being fundamentally sound. The annual picnic at Tirzah, in York county, which will be held Tuesday, will he a cotton coopera tive marketing picnic this year, and the co-operative marketing of cot- j ton will he the princ ipal topic of ? ih*1 speakers. j An additional speaking date an nounced today was F. R. Shanks, of Texns, for Darlington, August 23th. Tobacco Prices Have Been Doubledj Optional With Members as to! Disposition, However?Of ficials I Hope - for Largest Sign-up in Cotton Belt for South Carolina _ Raleigh, Aug. 13.?The Tobac-I co Growers' Cooperative Associa- j tion passed .its goal of 80,000: J members last Saturday, when the count of 1,200 contracts received in a single week revealed the fact that another regiment.of tobacco growers had joined and pushed their line past another objective. With close to 400,000,000 pounds of tobacco on the basis of the 1920 crop pledged to the asso ciation and deposited in the form of signed contracts in the vaults of I the Commercial National Bank of 1 Raleigh, there is no doubt of the j success of the organized, tobacco i growers, officials declare. I Last week's operation of the co operative system in South Caro lina has proven that the association has gained orderly marketing, fair and standard grading and the un qualified loyalty of its members. , The final campaign of the past week in Beaufort, Martin, Berie, Franklin, Pitt and other eastern Carolina counties has not only brought in great numbers of new^ members but has revealed a spirit of staunch loyalty to their,associa tion on-the part of the organized growers. ? In a single day last week Claude McGee, of Franklington; sent in 208 contracts from Franks lin county. L. E. Rogers, field service representaitve* of the asso ciation, directing the recent drivfc reports that more thanr^oOG new contracts are on the way to Ral eigh headquarters and predicts that another regimeat of signers from i Eastern Carolina will join the ranks of the association thi3 week and start the advance well toward the 8-5,000 membership which has become the new objective now set for the Tri-State Association. A committee of 75 tobacco growers, members of the associa tion from Pitt county, have set out to visit every important merchant of Pitt County with the question "where do you stand?" Committees of bankers and bus iness men from Washington, Robersonville, Wilmington, Wind sor and Franklin have pledged to take the field this week in the drive for new members, and en thusiasm both among the growers and the business men has reached i the boiling point throughout the [east, according to R- J. Works, of Kentucky and L. E. Rogers, of Virginia, veteran campaigners who rested in Raleigh over Sunday, fol lowing ther week of meetngs. That the association, it is de clared, has doubled the price of tobaoco in South Carolina on the auction floors and paid its mem bers higher averages for their first advance on this year's crop than they received last year, for their entire crop is a subject of congrat ulation among thousands of grow ers whether in or out of the Organ ization. R. J. Works, member of the Burley Pool who visited headquar ters of the Tobacco Growers* Co operative Association today said: "History is repeating itself in the Carolinas and Virginia. Our asso ciation doubled the price in South Carolina and from what I have seen in North Carolina I can prophesy its certain suceess." Large deliveries and enthusiastic support of the association have so exceeded expectations in South Carolina* that the association ware houses will be open another 'day each week to receive and grade j deliveries,. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. This dry agent disguised as a plumber probably did it by going to sleep under the sink. DOINGS OF THE DUFFS FOR C JOHN J. MCMAHAN ?V: COTTON-MARKET , h.n ..
