With spot cotton selling at 15
cents on the local market yesterdav,
conservative men familiar with the
cotton market after years of experi
ence, are predicting that cotton will
bring 20 cents thiJ fall ir conditions
continue similar. .Mr. J. E. Stat1;,
who has bought cotton here fur
years, said that "cotton would bring
a good pike this fall." although he
wouia not quote any definite ligure
Auother gentleman, who would not
ptrmit his name to he used, holds
out for 211 cent cotton provided the
threatened railroad strike does nl
materialize and demoralize the entire
economic condition of the rountrv
Although cries of 'half-crop" have
betn coming troin it 1 1 sections ol the
country, men who take a saner view
of things claim that the crop will
make irom 70 to 75 per cent of the
biggest crop ever made in this coun
ty. This means that Union county
L crop will amount to around 2D0U0
bales this year.
Dr. John Blair, who has traveled
around the county considerably of
late, claims that this year's cron will
average 72r'f , which is a little higher
than most predictions. But the crop
is not yet out of the danger tone,
as intimations of army worm ravages
have been reaching town. Mr. George
Hart went out to his farm Sunday,
and came back telling of worms rav
aging some of his corn. Mr. George
Edward Flow, the official Union
county crop reporter. Is also afraid
that army worms might appear in the
near future and wreck considerable
damage to the cotton. The United
States Department of Agriculture
sent out warnings lately of "army
worms in Maryland and Virginia, and
It Is feared by some that they will
appear as far south ns this county.
Not all of last year's crop has been
disposed of. One gentleman who
lives not far from .Monroe still has
.ion hales that lie is holding for high
prices. A Monroe cotton buyer tried
to buy the whole lot some weeks iu'o,
but the owner held out for thirteen
cents. When the maikei reached
the thirteen cent mark, he held out
for fourteen cents. Now since the
majktt ln.s reached 13'. cent mark,
he is Homing out indefinitely. This
same Monroe buyer tried to get the
whole lot last week, but failed. There
were twenty-live buyers at the man's
house :tt the same time to get the
crop. This gentleman has already
sold $1(hmio worth of cotton since
Christ mas.
Fainhild & Co.. New York cotton
brokers, state in their last letter that
"the South is fully Justii'yled In hold
ing seed for 75 u hundred and crude
oil tor record prices." Their letter
of yesterday is given in full:
"The cotton market displayed a
rather unsettled tone in the first hour
of trading today. The fact that $5
a bale margin was being generally
demanded caused some liquidation.'
However, in the closing hour, big
general buying developed, which car
ried some options into new high
levels for the season. We would not
be surprised to see January reach
reach 1 i . 5 next week, and even at
that figure it may look (heap. Mill
Interests, as usual, have missed th"
market. They were skeptical at 13
cents, hysterical at H cents; de
lirious at 15 cents. Next week's
market Is liktly to complete the de
bacle. "Oil eased some today. Yesterday's
advance of 78 points on December
eliminated the weak shorts. Decem
ber closed today at 9.56. Refiners
are apparently fighting a hopeless
battle In an endeavor to keep the oil
market down. It looks like a real
oldfashioned bull year for cotton,
cottonseed and cotton oil. We be
lieve the South is fully Justified in
holding seed for u a ton and crude
oil for record prices."
(Mils tut ion Letter.
An encouraging letter Is sent out by
Orvls Brothers this week. It claims
that current cotton prices are Justi
fied, and hints at high prices this
fall. Their letter follows;
. "The cotton market recently has
Oeen active and strong. The advance
registered by the closing prices of
yesterday, as compared with those of
a week ago amounted to $6.60 per
bale.
"In our recent advices we pointed
to the danger of assuming short com
mitments on account of the unsatis
factory condition of the crop and the
dangers to which it might be sub
jected from insects and elements.
Weather conditions have not been
generally favorable, and crop advices
of an authoritative kind now coming
to hand report a serious loss in con
dition.
It Is expected that the Agricultural
Bureau report to be issued on August
31st will be low, and much of the re
rent advance is In anticipation of the
diminished yield it would point to,
Speculation has broadened consider
ably, but Is not believed to have as
sumed proportions seriously endan
gering the technical, position,
"la 1914 mill stocks aggregated
2,662,000. The traceable amount
available on August 1st does not,
therefore, point to a famine unless
the new crop 'falls below 13,260.000
bales including linters. Consumption
for next year must be estimated at
15,000,000. Present mill stocks In
America are little, if any, larger than
necessities of record actively demand.
European mill shocks are below half
of normal. Liverpool's warehouse

The following was publish) d in
the I'M ,-li teiian Advance: "Evange
list William A. Sunday has given the
following excellent rubs on how to
break up a church. He says: "Don't
ever come to church on time; you
may shock the pastor. Don't sit in
the front pews; they look better
empty. Don't give anything to tin
pastor's salary; he can live on air.
Don't ever attend prayer meeting, or.
if you should never take part. Don't
smile; wear a long face; you will
win so many more souls to God.
Don't bring any one with you to
church; that's not the style, you
know. Don't help or encourage the
pastor; you pay him to do all the
work.
Don't do anything for the church
except what you want to do. Don't
ever break a theat.e or card game
engagement for a prayermeeting.
T . . -
k"u i even hfk any one ir ne is a
Christian; that's ro very impolite,
you know. Don't put anything in
the contribution plate; it encour-
aggea the others. If you see that
everybody is working harmoniously.

minister wants a quartet, you Insist
on a choir.
If the minister wants a choir, you
Insist that a quartet is the thing."
