Cotton
. About 2,800 bales have been
ginned at the two ginneries here.
The price being paid for the sta
ple as we go to prt-se, on the local
market, is 22cU.
New York is qu< ted n» giving
23.55, while the New Orleans mar
ket stands at 22 85cts.
The buyers of cotton, during the
season, certainly do make or b<e
If a buyer purchases 50 five cwt.
weight bale* in a day, and, if he
sell* them at e profit of let per
pound, hie profits, for that one da) ,
amounts to 5250 00.
Ten days buping would aggre
gate two thousand aud five hurt
dred dollars at the same rate.
But, if ttie buyer should lose
>5.00 a bale on 50 bales, averaging
500 lb*.; then bis would be terrible.
TheOo-Operative Associations in
the different states, are doing much
to stabilize cotton.
The Government Report lias de
clared that only about 56 per cent
of a crop has been produced this
year.
In that case cotton and cotton
goods will surely advance in
price

During the 1924-25 session of
Mercer University Mr. Charles
Stapleton, born and reared here,
was voted the most handsomest
man in his class.
This compliment was not gener
ally known in his old home town
until Sunday, when the Atlanta
Constitution carried h picture of
the Mercer student, ex; laining the
fact.
Those knowing “CharDs” aren’t
surprised that be should’ve been
chosen over h large number of men,
for coupled with his physical feat
ures, he possesses a pleasing per
sonality, also a friendly interest
in humanity.
But the nicest part is to come
yet. He is not a bit conceited; not
puffed up, and wears the honors
with the modesty of a pure, sweet
girl.
The Liberal is pleased that this
young gentleman was selected by
hi* classmates as the most hand
somest man in his class.
