AUGUSTA, Ga, —The cotton market today was rather easier although at the opening it looked strong with Liverpool 7 to 8 up on futures, good sales of act ual cotton (12.000) hales and futures in New York about S up on the active months. Later on heavy realizing on the part of the big hulls set in and con tinued all day with the result that prices closed 6 to S down on March, May and July. Our market here is quiet hut steady at 14 7-8 basis for middl'd?. 'I lie Bureau report tomorrow Is responsible for the selling today as hulls do not care to be carrying too heavy a line In View of the uncertainties of the situation but the general opinion is fixed that the estimate cannot he anything but a small one and that prices will go higher. It is of course possible to depress futures temporarily, but the spot situation seems to be impregnable.—Davison ft Fargo. ARGO & JESTER’S LETTER. Special to The Herald NEW YORK. —Realizing was very heavy today and our market made a poor response to the strength of Liv erpool, showing the presence of over night spiling orders. On the whole the market took the liquidation very well and It is believed that th„ price will receive support of the best kind on the publication of the estimate to morrow. Later positions are coming in for more attention at the nnjment and new crop options have gained on the old, which would imply more con sumers are taking measures to pro tect themselves against the possibil ity of a shortage next season and that the enormous difference be tween th e two crops is beginning to attract attention of straddlers. With small reactions w e continue to feel that the market is headed for higher prices. ARGO, JESTER & CO. GOOD TIMBER IN CAROLINA WOODS Large Shipment of Poplar For Use in Furniture Manufacture Beins? Ship ped. From Ebenezer. Special to The Herald. EBENEZER, S. C. —Tills town, sit uated about six miles from Florence, has ready for shipment three car loads about 15,000 feet of poplar tim ber which will be consigned to .Sa vannah, Ga., Cheraw, S. C., which will be used for veneering and in the manufacture of furniture. It seems strange tlAit these forests, riclt in oak, poplar, ash, dogwood and other woods should not be utilized by cities like Charleston, Columbia, Florence and Sumter, instead of being sent to Savannah and elsewhere, and re turning as manufactured articles the slogan in the old south was bring the mills to the cotton, this has been accomplished, now the cry should be in the new south, bring the factories to the timber. WAYCROSS PLANNING EDUCATIONAL RALLY WAYCROSS, Ga. —Arrangements are being made by County School Com missioner J. R.

In man and R. W. Bennett, and an rdu cational campaign will be held with a view to the improvement of Ihe school property in the county arid the lengthening of the terms.
