Farmer" will send his name, the vision
Will be published, otherwise 1t will not.
Mr.. 3. N. Moore is Of opinion tina
barring last years crop, which was ex-
traordinary, this years crop is up to
a fair average.
Mr.. w. r. Carroll has information
of a one-horse farmer who has already
ginned seven bales, all In September.
This circumstance is unusual.
Quite. a large number Of negroes
have left this section to work on the
Great Catawba Falls railroad. The
exodus continues in that direction.
The spinning mills now have a sat-
isfactory margin between the raw ma
terial and the manufactured product
and are making a very good profit.
There is quite a satisfactory demand
at the stores for seed wheat, and the
indications are that whether the acre
age be up to the usual average or not
there will certainly be some wheat
sown this fall.
-
the presence Of the reporter few days
ago that the southern mills were Just
about ready to go into the market as
the recent break occurred. and since
then they have been inclined to be
timid.
The banks are paying out numbers
of bright new silver dollars that look
as IL they are just from the mint. The
date however Is 1882 The dollars have
evidently been lying in the treasury
all the while and are just getting into
circulation for the first time.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the York County Southern Cot
ton association has been called to be
he'd In Yorkville next Friday, Octo-
ber 6, to consider several matters,
among other things the best way to
raise the 8 cents per bale assessment.
The price of mules has reached unu-
sually high figures, the highest In fact
that have ever been known, and some
of the farmers are beginning to argue
that the situation seems to demand
the abandonment Of the mule and the
substitution of the horse in farm work.
Mr.. S. J. Ferguson Of Chester No H.
brought to this office yesterday an old
copy of THE ENQUIRER of August 20
1867 The paper was addressed to the
late ]. H. Crawford. long since dead.
The first page of this particular issue
Is devoted to the proceedings In con-
nection with the Impeachment of Pres
ident Andrew Johnson.
Il has been demonstrated within the
past few years that this is good apple
country II nurserymen will only be
iudicious in the selection Of the right
kind Of trees. Trees should be put out
now within the next month or two, and
people who had not already made ar
rangements to do some planting should
attend to the matter without more de-
lay.
In the opinion of local cotton dealers
there Is not a very strong disposition
on the part of producers to hold for II
cents. AS a general thing, especially
in the case of cotton producers who
have obligations at the stores, cotton
Is being marketed as rapidly as 1t can
be picked. Many of the larger plant
ers are holding for II cents and over;
but taken all in all the feeling that 10
cents is a good price is quite pro-
nounced. The yield this year is small
er than last year and not up to the ex-
pectations of a month or six weeks
ago.
Mr.. T. M. Whisonant was in York
Vile yesterday on business. Speaking
of Mr.. Poag's auction sale at Shelby
last Thursday, he said that the result
was fully up to expectations and that
everybody was pleased, practically
every purchaser Of a piece Of property
either selling out at profit or refusing
an offer in advance Of the price paid.
Mr.. Whisonant went on to say that he
has had a number of offers for lots in
the Whisonant suburb, some of which
he could have probably accepted with
advantage; but he Is not particular
about making any sales until the day
of the auction which will be commenc-
ed about October II.
