STATHAM AND ITS PEOPLE.
Business is a little slow just now,
anti wo aro fearful that conditions
will take on no special change until
■after the election, or until cotton
f
goes up.
Our ginneries are running on
full time, and have up to date
ginned 1,300 bales, with about half
of the season gone- Sane of the
cotton fields in this section are realy
short, and some of them are as good
as they have ever been and even
better. There has been very little
selling. A large per cent of tire
cotton is piled up in the yards of
the farmers or stored in warehouses,
