r. G.. Gaines, of Central, WAS in
Plckens Tuesday, and in conversation
with him we learned that Gaines &
Gassawaway Bros had car Of good
horses to sell; they: also have car of
the Osborne Machine Co.'S. mowers,
harrows, rakes, etc. These are good
machines and the farmers all ought
to use something Of this sort as it
saves both timH and labor.
Mr.. Gaines told US that Central
would certainly get cotton mill; the
cotton mill calls for bauk, the bank
is a certainty The waste power from
the roller mil. is to- be utilized to
run an oil Mill and ginney-thus
one thing calls for another-a cotton
mill, an oil mill and a bank, and all
these enterprises are under way there
and all of them will be bull and
in operation in the near future.
Central is not near dead; the NOV.
ing Of the railroad terminal from that
point was ouly the making of her and
is really the best thing that ever hap.
pcned for that town and her citizens
ale now seeing it that way.
We rejoice with the town and her
citizens il their good fortune, and
hope before another year that they
may have to increase each of these en-,
terprlses.

Twelve years ago. this State did
not produce any tobacco of conse-
queDce An experiment was made in
Pick rs about IS years ago, but it
failed. None is raised for market
now. In 1899, 304 acres were plant
ed in the Eastern part of the State.
The yield was 1898 pounds, worth
S33,90S. In 1902, 1892 acres were
planted in tobacco aud the yield was
25,524,4OS pounds, worth about three
million dollars. These figures are
taken from the Florence correspond
ence Of Tie State II they are correct
they indicate that there are millions
in tobacco. The amount of money
received is $50 per acre. That more
than doubles cotton when a bals to
the acre is produced. In the Pied:

acres do not produce more than 12,- |
900 bales of cotton, which will bring
about SIG an acre including the seed.
