Several from the city attended,.
Cotton Is opening fast in this section
and already a number of bales have
been marketed here. Mr.. F. H. Bar
ber remarked yesterday that in his
farming experience he has never before
known the fields to be as white
this month. Our memories are deficient
however, for in 1882, one hundred and
twenty-five bales of new cotton were
sold here during the month of August.
There are many farmers who think the
crop will be nearly all gathered on SAN
DIV and blackjack lands especially, by
the middle of October. On red lands
there is better promise Of large yield,
and with a late fall this will be true.
In Camden last Saturday over hum
dred bales were sold and in Sumter the
receipts of this years cotton reached
572 bales up to Saturday night, while up
to the same date last year not bale
had been sold. In that city the Au-
gust receipts are the largest ever re-
ceived up to the same date. A dispatch
from Congaree, below Columbia, says
that the cotton crop for miles around
has shown the effects Of the long
drought more in the last few days than
ever. The fields are very spotted with
large places that actually died out and
the few bolls are completely burnt up
Several farmers predict nearly half
crop this year. The heart of this
community was touched very much
last Friday afternoon when it became
known that Mrs. Edna Pryor, wife OF
Mr.. ]. E. Pryor, has succumbed to the
disease Of which she was sufferer,
and that, too, after a brave fight IN
which but a few days before it seemed
that she would be victor. She was so
young, being only 26 years of age, so
lovely in person and character, so ami
able and kind, and of such sunshiny
disposition, that it is true when death
come all who knew her grieved with
sense of personal loss. She was sick
only twenty-five days. Saturday at
noon, after services in st. Johns M. +.
church by her pastor, Rev. ]. S. Beas-
lev, assisted by her friend and former
pastor, Rev. w. G. Neville, Of York.
Vile her body was borne to beautiful
Laurelwood cemetery in this city,
where the interment took place In the
presence of a great number OF frlenos.
The pail bearers were Messrs. j. b.
Sykes, r. ]. Lindsay, James Beckham,
Dolph Freidheim, Wade Roddey, Paul
Workman, M. H. Cobb and Lloyd Phil
lips. The deceased was daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. R. B. Mills, of Blackstock,
where she was born February 9th,
1876. She was married May Sd, 1899.
Strong and healthy. happily married
and with a friend in every acquaint-
ance, she had a great deal to live for.
She will be missed not alone by her
mother and sisters and her fond hus-
band, but in the church where she was
a Jealous worker, and the community
in which she lived, where she was loved
for her virtues and held in the highest
esteem by every neighbor. Green be
her early grave; sweet be her rst.
