TWO
Shootings of Saturday Night Regarded As
Examples of What May Happen At Any
Time With Alleys in City Not Lighted
Th<» aborting.** of Saturday night
have agitated the question of a more
atrlct enforcement of the "pistol-to
tinjc'* law and have started the people
to talking not only about it, but about
the matter o equipping certain alleye
and streets in the city with electric
lights, where, at present, almost to
tal darkness prevails Moreover, the
matter of furnishing policemen with
flash lights is being talked about, too.
Tho desperate and daring acts of
certain negroes here Saturday night,
oik* of whom the police have been suc
cessful in capturing, are regarded as
examples of what may happen at any
time under present conditions, with
cert.*»ln parts of the city inad«*quately
lighted.
According to the chief of police him
self, one can hardly see his hand be

It’s persistent, regular advertising
that wins. An ad now and then is
good but it’s the well planned and
carefully executed campaign, cov
ering a period of time that brings
the BIG business.
You can’t cut a giant oak down with
one stroke of the ax—you must keep
on chopping to accomplish anything.
If it takes sixty strokes to fell a tree
and you deliver fifty-eight and quit,
you have wasted your time and effort
without result It is the last strokes
on top of the other fifty-eight pre
paratory strokes that do the busi

It’s exactly similar with advertising
—each ad makes a few chips fly, but
it takes all the strokes together to

SOUTH - CAROLINA IS FIRST
This Btate Has Largest Percentage of
Wheat Increase in Union.
Clemson College—South Carolina
leads nil the states of the Union In the
percentage of Increase In acreage of
winter wheat over last year, accord
ing to statistics received at Clemson
College from the United States De
partment nf Agriculture. On Decem
ber Ist, when the government's esti
mates were made, the wheat acreage
In South Carolina was three times as
(treat as that of last year, which if. to
say that the Increase amounts to 200
per cent. This la the largest percent
age of Increase In winter wheat acre
age In the entire United States, the
average of Increase for the whole
country hlng only about 11 per cent.
The acreage In wheat last year In
this state was 82,000 acres and the
government's estimate of the acreage
planted this season, up to December
Ist. Is 248,000 acres. Reports receiv
ed nt Clemson since December Ist
wnrrant the belief that the final fig
ures will show nearly 300,000 acres In
South Carolina to have been sown
to wheat this season. The figures
are based on reports from the county
THE COTTON SITUATION
In a rattier dull and uninteresting
market the Important event of the
week In cotton circles was the pub
lit ut'nn of the Census Bureau's report
on domestic consumption for the
month of December. The figure* giv
en were 450.5H4 halcn, which Is within
five thousand hales of thoso for the
corrcepomlln* month a year ago. The
gain over November was substantial,
consumption during that month hav
ing been 421,000 hales. From tills and
other indications tho opinion seems to
be quite general that subsequent gov
ernment statistics on consumption will
show other Increases. Stocks report
ed In manufacturing establishments
Increased moderately over last month
but are still approximately 400.000
bales under those of the previous sea
son. Domestic manufacturers have not
been accumulating cotton even at the
low prices, and If the demand for goods
continues to Improve they will be com
pelled to enter the market before loim
for large volumes. One extremely In
teresting Item of the report was the
statement that 30,431 bales of llnten
were exported In December. This com
pares with no exports for the sums
month In the previous year. It Is as
sumed from this that llnters have been
bought by the belligerent nations to
he converted into guncotton, and thus
a net outlet has been found for the
large volume of llnters which this
year's record growth unquestionab'y
has produced.

the most gratifying features of the
wheat report of the government Is
that the condition of the crop in South

and the weather since then has been
excellent for the grain. In view of
this, with continued favorable con

TOY "PRINCETON TIGER

FOR WHITE HOUSE BABY
Washington,— A toy Princeton Tiger
for the Sayre baby was given to the
president today by a committee from
the Princeton Alumni Association.
"The baby’s father Is a Williams
College man,” said the president, "and
therefore I don’t know whether I
should accept a Princeton Tiger for
him.”
"Rut his mother came from Prince

cently have been In the direction of
further improvement. The advance in
raw cotton to the neighborhood of 8
cents, with higher figures for distant
months, gives ground for the expecta
tion of a more normal development In
the South. The change has had a
strengthening effect on the cotton
goods market. An important feature
of the week was the advance of one
quarter of n cent a yard on prominent
brands of bleached goods.”
Marshall Field and Company. In
their most recent report, are also of
an optimistic opinion. They say: ‘‘An
excellent volume of orders has been
r.-ceived for domestic cotton cloths
and prints since prices were lowered,
Indicating that stocks throughout the
country are low. That the bottom has
been touched In cotton goods prices is
evidenced by the fnet that advances
are already being asked by manufac
turers on some well known lines, such
as bleached muslins and standard sta
ple prints.”
Fundamentally the situation has not
changed, the controlling factors con
tinue to be the heavy export move
ment and the absence of any large
hedge selling. Demand from the con
tinent. particularly Germany, contin
ues, and this Is making a strong im
pression on the trade for the reason
that prices for spots, which are ma
terially higher than when foreign ae
cumulation first set In, do not seem
to act as a deterrent. Good absorp
tion of an Investment character con
tinues, and although the advance
which has taken plnce would appear
to Justify some hesitation, there la
nothing In the situation at the moment
that would seem to warrant more than
a moderate reaction In prices.
