about suffering in his neck and

painful, though annoying to some

Livery Stable Burned in Rock
Hill.

Special to Charlotte Observer.
Rock Hill, 5. c., March g.
Kerr = livery stable, on Hampton
street, was DESTROYED by fire this
morning The negro hands were
busy feeding the stock when the
fire was discovered, and the alarm
Wa quickly responded to. The
binding, one horse, 3 considerable
amount of feed, and buggy fxtur-
es were burned. The building was
the property of Mrs David Cor
don, and was insured. 1t was due
to the splcndcd work of the fire
department, and the efficiency of
Rock HIPS new water-worksthat
the fire did not spread. The dwell
ing house, occupied by Mr.. Will
Hope, stands within thirty feet of
the stable site and, though one
side and the roof were charred the
house did not burn. All losses are
covered by insurance.
Rock Hill has had quite a run
of fires this year. In fact, there
have been four good sized ones
during the past two weeks.

Advice to Hold Cotton.

Following arc the views of one
of our leading farmers, who has
given much attention to the cotton
situation. Tho Herald knows but
little, and can offer no advice.
though its editor believes largely
ia a lower mai ket However. we
take pleasure in publishing what
one of our thinking men who is
interested IN the subject, hoping
that his Judgment is good.
"Advics to the Farmers: The
stock Of cotton OF all United states
ports on the first of Septem ber
was only 50, 900 bales. The stock
of cotton at all United States ports
to-day is 100, 900 bales less than at
this time last year. The American
mills have taken between four and
five hundred Thousand bales less
than last year. lfthere is not very
much more cotton in the farmers
hands than last year, how can
there be enough to go around {!
Two crops in succession of over
eleven million bales were followed
by 10 cent cotton. What price
should cotton bring following a
nine million four hundred thousand
bale crop! Don't fool your cotton
away"
