Mobley, of Rock Hill, as follows: II had

Cotton Sales.
Though a few bales of cotton are still
being marketed every day, since the
decline in the price sometime back, there
has been marked disposition on the part
of producers to hold. Most of them think
that there will be another upward squirt
between now and planting time, and they
want to wait for it. They may be right
and they may be wrong; but the cotton is
theirs.
They Are Sowing Wheat.
Inquiries Of quite a number of farmers
of different sections developed the fact
that there is going to be lots of wheat sown
this year. Some say that they do not
calculate on any increase. Others say that
the increase over last years crop will be
considerable. The impetus to wheat
sowing in many localities seems to have
been given by the drop in the price Of
cotton.

Found in Ditch.
Mr.. C.. L. Spencer lost fine COW not
long ago. Its disappearance was a great
mystery. He thought possibly that the
animal might have either strayed or been
stolen; but was not certain. Later the
buzzards were seen vering over deep
ditch in the pasture, and investigation
developed that they were after the cow,
which had fallen into the ditch and broken
its neck. The animal had been dead for
several days.
