Another big batch of the States cot
ton was sold here Thursday. There

ders were Farnsworth & Company, of

the cotton was the Stewart Bros. Cotton
Company, their bid being fraction

The price received for the States
cotton is considered very satisfactory
one, and will give the State forty-oddc
thousand dollars to add to it's fund in
State Treasury.

REAL ESTATE DEAL
OF MAGNITUDE.
Mr.. +. R. Austin Buys Two Tracts Of
Business Property.

oreenWoOa is stliI growing.
This Is automatic, but it is we'll enough
to point out the processes which tend
to the expansion Of our progressive lit
tie city.
Mr.. i. R. Austin last week made two
real estate deals which mean the fu-
ture development of the business sec
tlon Of Greenwood, involving sum OF
about $4,000, the largest real estate
transaction by one man which has taken
place in Greenwood for many years.
One deal was the purchase by Mr..
Austin of the Coleman property, lying
between the new Henderson & Baird
building on Market street, and extend
ing from Market to the river front on
Fulton street. Mr.. Austin has divided
this tract into business lots, four 'front.'
ing on Market, and six on Fulton, facing
Court Square.
About the same time Mr.. Austin also
purchased from Mr.. c. Il. Wright the
block of property fronting on Howard
street, between Mr.. Austin's residence
and the Southern depot. He has subdi-
vided this property, including that
upon which his residence stands, max
ing eleven lots in the tract.
On Monday, November 7, at > p. m..
Mr.. Austin will offer the lots in both
tracts to the highest bidder. The
terms will be one-third cash, and the
balance on reasonable time.
The scarcity of business houses in
every part of Greenwood, and the gen.
eral demand for same will create a
brisk bidding on the lots, and they will
no doubt bring good prices.
1t is altogether probable that the pur-
chasers of these lots in the Coleman
tract will build on them as soon as
they are sold, and with the new build
ings under construction on Market
street, will make solid block Of bvsi-
ness houses on this block.

the RURAL DELIVERY BUDGET.

| There is an evident disposition on the
part of few city congressman to OPP
pose extensions and Improvement OF
the free rural delivery service and
ldeprecate appropriations and expen-
diture for the good of the service. This
| opposition is not organized or wide
spread, but ii shows in criticism of
the growth of rural delivery appropria- :
tons as extravaganza and reckless AMI
| in side attacks upon the service as
a political graft. The aninlus of
these covert attacks and of the SLY
! opposition to rural delivery is not far
to seek. The $21,o00.ooo necessary for
the rural service could be used by the
city congressman to the advantage of
themselves and their constituency.
1t is we'll TO understand that the rural
delivery system is not to be cheapened
or crippled. 1t is one of the most pop
ular and practical branches of the pos
tai service in existence. 1t has passed
'out of the patronage stage and is
freest from congressional influence *
any branch of the public service. 1t
is supplying millions of remote coun"
trysides with n necessary service and
meeting a universal demand. 1t is
making country residence profitable
and desirable and enhancing the value
of country property. 1t is making for
broader citizenship, and better condi-
tons and while 1t costs more than it
returns directly In dollars and cents the
deficit in the rural delivery service IS
as well spent as money put to publ,
use may be.
Let US have no penny saving at the
expense of rural delivery. If we are
inclined to economy. there are esti-
mates for public buildings to be cut
down and appropriations for river and
harbor Improvement which would De
the better for pairing. But let us have
no cheesep pairing policy on rural de-
livery. Keep hands off while the re-
suits justify the outlay.
