There is a general weakness in the actual cotton market, although futures for the fall months have recently de veloped new trength. The people throughout the county are urged to get in closer touch with the Peanut Exchange, as this meant of marketing should under proper handling prove a great thing for the I peanut grower. Most any organiza tion's success depends to a huge e\ tent upon the directors of such an organization .and the peanut exchange has a number of the best known and leading men of the state on its hoard of directors. Cheap grades of tobacco are likely to he still cheaper as the opening of the fall markets, but the better grades will possibly show a clean cut demand for same. Farmers are repeatedl\ urged to devote thei rbest efforts to a quality crop this year. There is always a market for beef cattle, poultry, milk, eggs, and pigs, and a certain amount of time devoted To this* line of industry will always enable the farmer to bring along some cadi with him to town when he has such produce for sale. The irish p'otato fanners are feel ing some better over their prospec than a couple of weeks back. \\ e have already on display at this office an irish potatoe big enough for eating purposes and picked at random from" a thirty-acre field. A certain amount of early truck will always sell in Williamston, and if the farmer should bring along some of this produce with him, he can always figure on disposing of same at a good profit. Fertilizer now has reached -about hot ton, at $25.00 cash and $.'10.00 on time for standard grades.,!.S.P. IL S. WARD'S NF.W HH.L i Congressman 11. S. Ward has intro duced a bill in Congress requiring all railroads to settle freight claims with in sixty days fronf the time of filing under a penalty of SIOO.OO in each case. The people generally approve tin.-, measure hut at this particular juncture the people are small and the railroads are large and it is doubt ful about its passage. Then if it does pass there is much doubt about its enforcement as the railroads have a . lot to do with interpreting the law and dispensing the Constitution.

The only tiling that will possibly stimulate business in this country to day is a lowering of the general dis count rate for burrowed money. Eight and ten per cent money will strangle the life out of any individual and any firm or business in their ef forts to exist, and that is what the local bankers have to charge in order to break even. There seems to be a ray of hope that the Federal Reserve rates will take a decided slump in the near fu ture, and as this article is being writ ten information is at hand that the lioston bank has dropped one per cent. It seems that when we send Rep resentatives to Washington it is more their duty t otheir constituents to try to bel ter local conditions than to shout over the premises about matters of no direet concern to us. • Why not write your Congressman or Senator a persona Netted and ask him a few direct questions?
