Those of our farmers who have counted
on 10 cents for their cotton this fall had
better change the basis of their calculations
to cents, as it is more than probable that
the market will be glutted. The editors of
the Abbeville Medium have gone into the
cotton raising business, and as their crop
was transplanted of course the yield will
be tremendous.

Mr.. Johnson Moseley, of Lowndesville,
met with serious accident one day last
week while cleaning out his well. He had
finished his work in the we'll and was COM
ing out, and when near the top the rope
gave way and he was hurled to the bottom
of the well, about thirty feet. Fortunately
there was no water in it, or he might have
been drowned, as he was severely stunned
by the fall, and was unconscious when
taken out. The disaster was caused by the
carelessness of q negro who was assisting
Mr.. Moseley in his work.
