The cotton crop will soon be ar all picked out and there is none being U1 held in this section for higher prices. Pa It seems the people are willing to take the present prices. It is all right for the fellow who is making a good crop, but there are only a few and they are far between, as I see it, that are making a good crop. All ^3 produce has advanced in price. Isn't w: .there some speculation? I think so, h for the loss of shortage in bread and fnnd StllflF sVimilri nnt Kn oa naf bt not before another year if I see it er aright. Sugar and meat should not be so high. Hasn't flour gone too *e high. Well, I don't know how it is or what's the remedy. Some say the war is the cause. That's not the cause. Why, there is no more people ^ to feed in the war than there was (,c when they were at home. Have you J ever thought about it? I guess there 1 will be speculation as long as time. I ^ think the government ought to look m after these things and see how things r? are going on. th I attended the convention held at P' Jonesville last*week.

Spot cotton is selling above 18 cents a pound in the local market, which means that manufacturers have to work on the basis of 20 cents a pound in order to make sure of clearing themselves, while there is a lively *\W/\0*VA/t^ ^ L ~ -? ?? - 1 1 uiai. me enu is nut reacneo. At the same time wheat is selling around $1.70 for cash and there is renewed talk of asking1 congress to place an embargo on further shipments. Of course, this could not possibly be done for weeks hence, but it is a factor in the situation not to be ignored. It appears that the allied governments long ago foresaw that wheat would be a poor crop the world over and managed to make enormous contracts in this country which have taken much of the visible supply and have driven some economists to the verge of panic. That we shall be able to stop this export by an embargo seems very likely. because the wheat is already going out rapidly, much of it via Canada, and if nothing is done until after the first of the year it will be too late. To make the situation more complicated, wool prices are the highest known for many years. For a time Australian clips were shut off from this market, but although the barrier has been removed it is going to be hard to get the amount which is desired except at extraordinary prices. Here are three of the great necessities of life coming very high to the ultimate consumer. Those who have been getting greatly increased wages will not he injured so much as those who have salaries based on conditions of long ago and which have not been increased.

Had the pleasure of attending a Hallowe'en party at Carem school house near Union. Everything in the Hallowe'en games were taken out. A large crowd attended and everybody had a fine time. The decorations in autumn leaves and Hallowe'en colors added much beauty to the occasion. Also at the Bishop school house a Hallowe'en party was given and a good time by all was reported. An amusing feature of this party was reported to be a cake walk. The Sunday school convention was ' held at the Methodist church at Jonesville Nov. 2 to 3. Our church was well represented by three delegates. The first session of the convention was opened by F. M. Ellerbe. The l ? ? i ? " - 1 I .uiiTciiuuii Keyword, " increase," by Rev. J. F. Matheson.

Will Never Be W This Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Re-1 1 lieved Her Baby When Nothing Else Would. I Little Max Pendergrast is now four i years old, and a fine healthy hoy. When hut a tiny haby, in fact almost from birth, he suffered a great deal from constiuation. His mother, Mrs. Carl W. Pendergrast, Rey Key, Ind., ' heard of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, 1 obtained a bottle of it from the drug store, and with it was able to quickly I correct this condition. Mrs. Pendergrast says l)r. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has saved them ; from calling the doctor many times, and that she will never be without a bottle of it in the house to use when needed. She found it equally effective as a laxative for herself and other 1 members of the family. ' Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a 1 combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, pleasant to the taste, mild ' in action and positive in effect. It does not gripe or strain, and contains , no opiate or narcotic drug. It is the ideal family laxative, mild and pleas, ant for baby, yet acting quickly on , the strongest constitution.

Made A bountiful dinner was served in the basement of the church by the good ladies of Jonesville and their great hospitality was appreciated by all who attended. Mr. Justus preached his last sermon Sunday before he goes to conference. In the afternoon he also preached a sermon to the Red Men which was attended by a large crowd. They came from different places, some from Jonesville, Buffalo, Monarch and one auto from North Carolina A real inspiring sermon on "I.ove" was delivered by Mr. Justus to the Red Men. He explained how much thij. order means to mankind and what can be derived from this order. Guess everybody is ready for the fair. I think the pupils from different schools that wrote the essays on "Why the People Should Attend the County Fair" were all pood and deserved much honor and credit. Hope we will have a line fair and much success and that people from all communities will attend. Mr. Clarke Whitlock of Sumter, the son of Mr. C. W. Whitlock, formerly of this community, will leave in a short while for Elmira, X. Y., where he has accepted a position. Mr. W. F. Bishop took an auto trip to Greenville Sunday. Vero.
