Simpson & Co. iiiembeix A permanent organi.a- tion was effected with Mr. Houston as president, Mr. ClappofCuilford vice president, Mr. Covington of Bich:aond secretary and treasurer. The meetings are to be held annu ally. The constitution adopted sets forth the object of the organization as follows: "To bring alHiut a closer relation for the exchange of ideas with a view of increasing the efficiency of the public service of the clerk s ofhee, and for the estab lishment of a uniform system, and for the adoption of the latest mid most improved methods of keeping the olhcial records and papers to Ik- filed and kept in the otlice." Perhaps no offices in the State so closely nllccliiig the people have becu so negligent and alow in adopting new and convenient meth ods of business as these. It is the idea of Mr. Houston and the other promoters of the movement to make improvements that will not only create improved methods, but sim plify them as well, so that the rec ords of the oflice w ill lie more ac cessible to the ordinary citien, so that he ran find what he wants to know without the aid of an expert.

A big crowd of Goose Creek and New Salem people were on hand mid everybody seemed to thoroughly enjoy the day. Mr. J. A. Sell, the chief marshal, and his assistants took cure of things well and the day passed without a single unpleasant feature. In the alleruooii Mr. W. B. Iove, a young lawyer of MonriM, made a good speech, mid talks by others were listened to attentively. There1 seemed to lie an unusual numlsT of young people present and the iH'havior was splendid. Altogether the occasion was a very happy one and the promoters should feel! amply paid for their efforts iu; the enjoyment that the day afford. ed the people. The following were' the prize winners: In the foot race there were two sets of runners of live each. Iu the lit Mt Clarence Austin was the w in ner, and in the second Julius Wil liams came out ahead. Then these two made the race as the champions of their respective teams. Mr. Austin won in twelve and a half seconds over the track of lo.'i yards. The three-legged race was won by X.

Walter Baucom won both the barrel and the shoe race. The cart race was something aft er a reel race, a hand cart taking the place of a reel. Six teams en gaged iu this race.

Hill ing the past month when crop prusieets were brighter in the South western States of Texas, lmisianna, Mississippi and Arkansas, spinners were paying 1 1 to 1.1 cents for mid dling cotton in Georgia ami the Car olina. Fourteen cents is being paid for the delivery of new cotton at all large cotton centers in the Smth. Buyers at small interior cotton points all over the cotton belt are now busy trying to induce fanners to contract with them for the future delivery of the expected prod net ion at from I?', to 13 cents, basis middling. The government crop coiuliliuu report for July was the lowest on record and that for August within a few points of the lowest report ever is sued by the bureau of cotton statis tics. It is a well known fact by an examination of the records that alow condition report for August always forecasts a poor yield mid a short crop. Never but ome before in the history of these records has a full yield followed a low condition in the August report. It is well known that the entire crop from .North Car olina to Texas is from two to four weeks lute and that but little fruit has yet matured. Too much rain or too little in August and Septetnliei' will practically paralize the crop. An extended drought in Texas has already cut the crop in that State fully 23 per cent, uiiilcr last year's production. No man can forecast the disaster attending an early or even a normal frost period in October. Tho demand for cotton by the world at high prices is Unlay unpre cedented. Consumption of cotton goods at abnormally high prices is only limited U the world's present spinning capacity. If raw cotton, basis middling, is not truly ami in trinsically worth l"i rents per pound, let those who are better posted than we are present the facts and figures lo sustain their position. Specula tion can no longer regulate spot cot Uin. Tho price of spot cotton is now in the hands of the farmers of the South aided and abutted by South ern bankers.
