COTTON FARMERS
LOSE GREAT SUM
Shrinkage in Value Caused by the
European War is Estimated at
About $455,000,000
Four hundred and fifty-five mil
lion dollars is an enormous sum oi
money for the people of a few
states to lose in a foreign war in
which they have no interest what
ever.
Yet the above sum is the esti
mated cost of the European wrai
to the cotton farmers of the South
These figures are based upon the
shrinkage in prices as compared
w’ith those of last year. The price
of cotton this year is the lowest
since 1898.
Cotton prices on November 1
averaged 6£ cents a pound, or
about $31.65 a bale, while one
year ago the price averaged 13
cents a pound or $65 a bale. This
reduction in price represents a
total loss to the cotton farmers for
lint cotton of about $425,000,000.
Added to this is a shrinkage in the
value of cotton seed representing
an additional loss of $30,000,000,
making an aggregate loss of $455,
000,000 which must be borne by
the farmers of the South because
of the European war.

LIMIT REACHED
IN WAR PRICES
Rev. J. L. Brown, Prominent Bap
tist Preacher, Sells Potatoes
at 8 1-3 Cents Apiece
Rev. J. L. Brown, the well
known Baptist minister of this
place and former member of the
legislature from this county, is a
potato grower and financier, as
well as a successful minister of
the Gospel and law-maker.
The word financier is used ad
visedly, for last Saturday Rev,
Brown sold the editor of this
paper one dozen sweet potatoes
and charged us $1 for them. It is
safe to say that in the days ot
frenzied finance on Wall street no
man ever sold potatoes at $1 a
dozen. When it comes to a min

neighbor a dollar a dozen for po
totoes, it seems that the limit has
about been reached in war prices
and it makes one begin to wonder
what the price of persimmons and
huckleberries will be if the war
continues until next fall.
Rev. Brown could give only one
reason for charging a dollar for a
dozen potatoes—and that was the
size of the potatoes. The 12 po
tatoes more than filled a bushel
measure, and tipped the scales at
52 pounds, two pounds more than
a bushel. Instead of following
the old adage, and growing two
potatoes where only one grew be
fore, Rev. Brown has doubled and
