HEARD, THOUGHT AND SEEN.

8GT There is no little difference OF op1n-
ion in this section as to the probable
cotton situation. Most people have the
idea that the crop is short; but a few
are holding that it is as large as 1t was
last year. There seems to be no doubt
of the fact that most Of the crop is
open.
8N There Is. no considerable demand
for longtime loans in this vicinity just
now. At least that Is the experience OF
local attorneys having money to dis
pose Of An attorney who has quite
large sum at his disposal and who has
lent much money on real estate securi-
ty during the past few years, said to
the reporter the other day that ne Is
having but few applications for loans
at this time. The money-lending busi-
ness is generally much better In the
spring than in the fall.
ar The yarn market has been advanc-
ing Of late to the very considerable sat-
isfaction Of the spinners. The advance
has not been very great so far; but
there Is enough to at least indicate the
direction, and that Of itself counts a
great deal with those spinners who
have so long been wrestling with what
looked liked starvation prices.
ar Politics in this section are now as
fiat as Is possible and most Of the peo-
pie feel glad. Still every voter should
remember to turn out on the occasion
of the November election. There is no
reasonable probability that there will
be any kind of a contest; but still 1t Is
necessary and desirable that there
should be a full vote. After all 1T Is
only the November election that counts
in law, and unless the people keep Wig
liant with regard to it, there is posi-
bility that trick might be played on
them sometime.
8zr "I have noted all that has been
printed in THE ENQUIRER about rural
free delivery SERVICE" said one OF the
carriers from this place to the reporter,
a day or two ago. land there Is another
suggestion I would like you to make
for the benefit Of all of us. There are
a good many people who are inclined
to try to call us back after we have
gotten several hundred yards up the
road, and others who think we nave
time to wait for them to write letter.
This is all wrong. We run on schedule
and have no time to wait for anything.
People having business with us should
be at the road when we are due, and
we will do our best to serve them IN
any way that might come within the
range of our duties. But they must
not be offended if we refuse to wait for
letters to be written or decline to come
back when we are called. The regula-
tions require us to make a fixed sched-
ule, and when we fail to come to time
the department has to know the rea-
son why"
86j' Through the courtesy of Editor
Marshall, of the Gastonia Gazette, we
publish simultaneously with that pa
per, an interesting Stoiy dOouS eiAN -
Brit Bolin, the famous giant deer hunt
er of the Bethany neighborhood, refer
red to in this column recently. The olo
gentleman who gives The Gazette It's
interesting information seems to pe
somewhat doubt III about the Identity
of the man that Mr.. Bolin carried on
his shoulders from deer hunt; but
we are now able to state positively
that our first statement was correct.
The gentleman in question was the late
VIM. McGill, father of Messrs. J. l..
and l.. R. McGill, of the Bethany neigh
borhood. Our authority this time is
Mr.. Lowry Bolin, a nephew of the late
Brit Bolin. He lives two miles east or
Yorkville and is 81 years Of age. The
reporter saw him in Yorkville on last
Thursday and asked him about the cir
cumstance. why, of course, remem-
ber Uncle Brit Bolin," the old man said.
"I have been deer hunting with him
many a time. 1 was not there; but
