A few days ago negro by the name
of VIII Clardy, who farms over in
Grcenyillc County, became tired of cX
pcnding Il whole years labor on Il crop
that sells for only &c. and concluded
that it would be better profits if he
could sell rocks-common old every
day rOcks-at 4!c. per pound. SO he
proceeded to pack up some $50 pounds
of such material in Il bale of cotton and
tried to sell it to our efficient buyer,
Mr.. Blake. The bale weighed some
eight or nine hundred pounds, and this
led to Il suspicion that something was
wrong, so Mr.. Blake did not issue a bill
for this cotton until he had sent it into
the mill and had it opened up. The
negro was arrested and now he is safe
behind the bars of the Anderson jail.

Clardy to have gone OIL raising dc. cot
