A Correction."
In our last issue we returned
thanks to our good friend Mr. J.
H. Carver, for a box of fine cig
ars, which Ave surely did enjoy.
However, we learn that while Mr.
I Carver was the bearer of the gift
that it came from the fair mana
gers, Mess. J. W. Chambers, C.
C. Cuninghain and JoeH. Carver.
We greatly appreciate this gift,
not simply because the cigars
were good and we enjoy a good
smoke, but for the friendship
which prompted the gift.

Mr. E. H. Satterfield, recog
nized as one of the very best far
mers in the Prospect Hill section,
was in town Monday with a load
of tobacco, and as he received
about twent3r-five per cent more
for his load than he expected is
evidence that he was satisfied. He
favored us with a call and stated
that his crop this season was more
than an average crop. He states
that in his section more wheat
than usual will be sown and he
thinks few farmers but what will
give more attention to
home supplies.

tew or them thought he was se-
riously sick, though his physi
cians were uneasy about him
ifrom the first. His death was
caused by heart failure, having
been subject to this illness since
childhood.
Rupert, as he was known, to
everybody here, was a quiet, un
assuming, loveable young man,
devoted to his parents and loyal
to a marked degree to his church
and church work,
i His death was peculiarly sad
havingbeen married a little less
than a year, leaving a wife and
twin boys to mourn his unexpect
ed death, besides father, mother,
four sisters and one brother. He
was 29 years old.
"The funeral exercises were con
ducted from the Baptist church,
conducted by his pastor Rev. D.
F. Putnam, assisted by Rev. Mr.
Upchurch, a schoolmate of the
deceased, and his body laid to
rest in the cemetery on Saturday
morning, followed by a large con
course of friends and loved ones.
The floral offerings were numer
ous and decidedly beautiful. The
sympathy of loving friends goes
out to the entire family, and es
pecially to his young wife and in
fant boys. His married life, .. so
vation and love shown one for the
other. May He who has promis
ed to be a father to the orphan
and a friend to the widow comfort
in this sad and lonely hour.
Tobacco Is Selling Well
Honestly and truly tobacco is
bringing a satisfactory price
and we believe our farmers will
make no mistake in getting it on
the market. There is a world of
common tobacco in this crop, and
as usual, common grades are not
bringing fancy prices they never
do, but tobacco with color and
body is selling well.
We do not take much stock in
advising farmers, for they are
sufficiently able to judge for
themselves, but you will remem
ber for several years tobacco has
sold better before the holidays
than after, and there are many
reasons to expect the same this
year. With the war likely to
last for some time there is no
reason to hope for better times to
come from across the big waters,
ahd our home manufacturers may
get their quoto and then down
will go prices.

War, NOT DEMOCRATIC
PARTY, CAUSING l6V
PRICED COTTON.
It is utterly amazing to hear
Republican politicians, who really
know better, attempting to attrib
ute the present price of cotton to
the Democratic administration of
Woodrow Wilson.- Every intelli
gent person knows that at least
two-thirds of all the cotton grown
in the South is exported to Ger
many, Belgium, France, Japan,
and England. There is now no
market for our cotton in any of
these countries except Japan. They
are now engaged in an unparallel
ed and unprecedented war a war
that staggers civilization, and is
leaving in its wake misery, pover
ty, suffering, and death so sad
and dark and awful that good and
pious men wonder why God in His
infinite love and mercy permits it
to continue.
Wars of Alexander the Great,
Caesar, Hannibal, Napoleon, and
our great Civil War were but
skirmishes as compared to the co
lossal drama of death being enact
ed in Europe to-day. Think of it!
Every continent on earth is involv
ed in this campaign of cruel de
struction, save and except Ameri
ca! Is it any wonder, then, in view
of the situation abroad and this
almost complete paralysis of our
cotton trade, that the South is a
keen sufferer by reason of this
war? Last year the South received
"
from England, G
Belgium andJaai
Lam jiojyI ji
six hundred million dollars in gold
for its cotton crop. These countries
were then at peace, and the ocean
was free from the terrible armed
fleets of battleships that now prey
upon commerce. This stream of
ij n.,.4. i i ;

into the pockets of the Southern
farmer has dwindled almost to a
vanishing point, and every intelli
gent man who stops to think knows
why this stream of gold has been
interrupted.

straight, watch your ticket and
see that it is a straight Democra
tic ticket.
