d Exhibition That Would Pay.
News and Courier: York county is
evidently well pleased with its expert
ence in wheat as money crop, even in
a 10,cent cotton year. 1.-The largest
acreage in the history oe the county
it is noted, "has already been seeded In
grain and the farmers are still sowing
it." The county should organize a full
DISPLAY Of its wheat flour in its exhibit
at the exposition next year. Such pro-

North and West.
Hardly Pro-Ratable.
Mr.. G. W. S. Hart will take up to
the supreme court, an interesting case
that has grown out Of the Commercial
and Farmers bank failure. Just previ-
GUS to the failure, Mr.. Hart,s client,
who was not depositor, had sent to
the bank draft for collection. The
failure came after the collection had
been made, and Mr.. Hart held before
Judge Klugh that his client was not
creditor of the bank in the ordinary
sense of the term, and that his client
could not be pro-rated, and the supreme
court will have to declce the matter.
The case is quite interesting.
