COTTON LETTER.
New York, Nov. 8. Surprisingly
strong Liverpool cables, accompanied
with bullish advices regarding the
spot demand in that market caused a
sharp advance in the early trading
here. The census report, showing
only one- million, three hundred and
thirteen thousand bales, ginned dur
ing the period was in line with expec
tations, but recbrded record small fig
ures for the two weeks and showed
a sharp, falling off in ginnings interest
was principallly centered 'in, .election
returns which at this writing point
to the re-election of Mr. Wilson. This
caused uneasiness in the stock mark
et, which was reflected partially in
cotton. We continue to advise buy
ing on set-backs as a much further ad
vance is most probable.

AN ATTRACTIVE BOOTH
Business Boys' Camp Attracts
Much Attention.
One of the unique and attractive
booths in the. Corn Show is that rep
resenting Camp Kilamaso, the Busi
ness Boys' Camp, which is held each
summer on Masonboro Sound. The
booth contains tent and cot in a set
ting of pine trees and represents the
beautiful group of pines in which the
camp is located on the Sound. Pic
tures of the camp arevmounted on a
cardboard and tell the story of the
camp.
The idea of the camp was suggest
ed by Mr. C. Walton Johnson, and
was worked out and promoted by a
group of ten representative young
business men who are enthusiastic
over the bright prospects ror a much
better camp on a bigger scale next
summer. This promises to be one of
the most enjoyable and helpful fea
tures of work with the business boys
of the city. The first camp was a
signal success and Camp Kilamaso
will doubtless be the favorite Mecca
of scores of Business Boys during the
'hot week-ends of next summer.
