C., which oc curred yesterday at the home of Mr. William Corber in Charleston, Rev. Cotton Merchant Calls Attention To Guaranteed Weight of Cotton Bales on Contracts Sold Ahead By Farmers The Herald is in receipt of inter esting letter from the local manager of one of Augusta's biggest cotton concerns in regard to the weight of bales guar anteed by farmers who have sold cotton ahead for future delivery. The Herald has recently been publish ing a good many crop estimates from farmers and merchants in th«* section of Georgia and South Carolina. One of the Herald correspondents in comment ing on farmers selling part of their crop ahead fm~ future delivery made the point that early ginning reports would be heavier and the weight of bales av erage lighter this season in order for farmers to meet these contracts, in case the price was higher, etc. In comemnting on this in a recent is sue the Herald said: “The average price for which these fu ture delivery sales were made seems to be twelve cents, and as showing how al ready this new departure will affect the cotton business is the prediction of one observant farmer that cotton bales this season will average lighter Weight than ordinarily. This conclusion is drawn from the belief that the price of cotton HIST! THIS IS FRIDAY, THE 13TH; DON’T START ANYTHING Friday the Thirteenth is upon us again. The day dawned as bright and as clear as they make them, but that hasn’t anything to do with it. It is the biggest hoodoo day in the cal endar and the only real Jonah day due to oijcur this year. There are some people who went on the job Friday morning in igno rance of the fact that today every body's luck is bad, but they very early in the day discovered that, something had gone wrong. Later they discov ered the cause and still a little later I hey were the proud possessors of r ascots. There were others who didn't believe in such things. One i an who failed to provide himself with a hair ball taken from the sev enth stomach cf a bay steer, suffered hard luck from the time he awoke Friday morning with a headache, up to the time that a friend remarked that he looked natural, and when ho went to work Jones touched him for ten. He allowed a friend to buy him two or three drinks". He went home to dinner and told his w’ that he Queen Quality Low Cut Shoes At Both Stores Great Bargains in Low Cut Shoes of all lines.

" In commenting on this, the manager of one of the cotton firms of the city, says: “If a buyer buys from a farmer now for forward delivery the contract always reads “the seller must deliver an av erage bale of 500 pounds w’.Vi an allow ance of 1 per cent variation. “This means, if he sells fifty of cotton the total weight of the fifty bales must be within I per cent of 25,000 lbs. If the bales are light and it takes more than fifty bales to make this weight fie w-.. have to deliver the number of bales necessary to make the above average weight good.’’ had not taken a drop.

One of the most interesting so cial events of the season will be the annual regatta of the Lakeside club, which will be held Friday, August 20th. This will be the first event of that kind since the reorganization of the club. There are about 100 boats owned by the club members and al most every member has signified his intention of entering the regatta. Great rivalry exists as to who shall win the prizes offered, which are three beautiful silver cups. Mr. Roy Goodwin offers a cup for the prettiest boat in line. Mr. E. S. Johnson one for the most unique decoration. The club one for the best decorated launch. After the regatta the members and their friends will participate in a dance, music to be furnished by a full brass band. The committees in charge are work ing hard to make this event a grand success. —Mr. Richard J.
