Reporter, October 90: From all Sec
tions of the county comes word that
the farmers in this section will increase
their wheat acreage this season. We
are not given to dish out "advice to
farmers but will say that they have
decided on a wise course. All agree
that "all cotton" policy must he ahan-
doned. ..''"Captain w. P. Crawford, OF
Company F, Second Regiment South
Carolina volunteers, arrived here Mon
day morning, having been granted a
10 days furlough. The Second will
move to Savannah this week thence
to Cuba between the 18th and 30lh OF
November. Captain Crawford reports
his company in good health-more
men for duty every day than any
company in the regiment. REV. j..
Barr Harris returned here Monday
from Rock Hill and resumed the spe
cial services at the Methodist church
in the afternoon. Services are held at
the same hours as last week. and
7.3O p. m. ''.'.'Everybody votes Judge
Gage as admirably fitted for the high
position he holds. His administration
of his responsible duties gives univer-
sal satisfaction. All felt assured that
this would be the case. Finishing
up the criminal cases in one day at the
October term Of court, is certainly a
record breaker in Chester county, at
least in the generation since the war.
Let US hope that it may be the begin
ming of better times. '''''''"Rev. A. n.
