The musk-rats are damaging the corn il

poisoned apples have been scattered along
the banks OF the stream, between Tins
MIL and Watkins Mill. Boys who fish
along. there SHOULD be careful and not eat
any Of the apples.
In this issue there appears notice from
1 Congressman Cothran in reference to the
competitive examination of applicants for

secure the appointment, for it is certainly
worth trying for.

Mr.. g. M. Bigby died at Williamson
last Monday morning in the 69th year OF
his age. Mr.. Bigby moved from Abbe-
vile County to Williamson about two
years ago, and soon drew around him a
large circle OF friends. He had been in
feeble health Tor several months. he
was good citizen in every sense Of the
word, and had been consistent member
Of the Methodist Church since he was
quite young. His remains were carried
to Honea Path for interment. he leaves
q wife and four children, who have many
sympathizers in their bereavement.
| We have seen some stalks OF cotton
taken fromthe plantation Of Mr.. Press.
Allen, near Starr Station, on the Sa7an.
nah Valley r. r., and must say 1t Is the
finest brought to this Office this year.
This was to bs expected, as Mr.. Allen is
one Of the progressive young far
mers. OF Anderson County. He has
about 45l or 500 acres In cotton, and 1t Is
said to BIZ free Of grass, and in advanced
state. Some of his neighbors think that
the entire crop will average 1,2oo pounds
seed cotton to the acre, II the seasons con-
tinue favorable. Unconsciously such
farmers as Mr.. Allen are great blessing
to any County, as he demonstrates In 8
way all can understand that farming will
pay If a man has energy and perseverance
It Is due to Mr. Allen to say that be was
not aware Of the stalks being sent us
There are other young farmers in thai
section who are doing some splendid
farming, but not on so large a scale as Mr.
j Allen.
