Of his winnings. Still student, still
mathematician, he sought at Amster-

In this latter such was his success

obliged to leave Paris for time. He
had dwelt long enough in Paris, this

win the friendship of Philippe of Or

CIRCUIT COURT
IS PRfTFRM|TTFD
Action Was Taken at the Earnest SohcIta.
lIon Of the Farmers.

The regular term of Circuit Court,
which was to have been convened in
Greenwood next Monday, has been pre-
termitted.
This action has been taken by Judge
kimbrough at the earnest solicitation
Of the planters of the county, number
of whom called in person to ask that
the term be either pretermitted or post
poned. Others used the telephone to
the same purpose. The recent rains
have rendered the crops in very bad
condition. Grass, the common enemy,
has made marked eneroachments and
every avaliabla farm hand is needed to
put the crops in anything like good
condition.
The docket was published in these
columns last week and is much lighter
than usual, hence the pretermitment of
the term will cause very little incon-
venience.
The Judge of the Court and the at
torneys at the local bar, who so unani-
mously agreed to let the docket 60 over
until the next regular term, are receiv-
ing the thanks of the planters through
out the county.

FIRST BOIL IS HERE
Delta Planters Have the mn Esrmers
Beaten This Year,

Mr.. H. q. Stevens, who manages his
fathers plantation SIX miles southeast
OF the city, made this office an appreci-
ated call Thursday evening. Mr.. Stew
ems had In his possession three cotton
belis which were almost grown and
which he says were found several days
ago in field Of cotton which averages
up about the same size all over. II will
be remembered that Mr.. Stevens
brought to this Office several weeks ago
the first cotton bloom OF the season.
Mr.. Arch Pcteet brought cotton
boil to town last Saturday, about the
size of those exhibited by Mr.. Stevens.
Last year the first boil was not received
in Greenwood until July Ii, nearly two
weeks later than this season.
A noteworthy fact Ia chat 30 far no
bolls have been reported from the hill
sections Of the state. 1t Is something
unusnai for the Delta planter to ret
ahead Of the hill farmer on tho early
crop proposition, but he secMa to have
succeeded in doing so this year.
