The Way to Do Il.
Mr.. ]. L. McGill says:h"The people
Of this county are perfectly willing to
join the movement that has been in
augurated in behalf Of cotton and
help to the extent of their ability by
whatever means may be necessary
But II It Is desired to see how many
bales Of cotton the people are really
willing to put into the hands OF trus-
tees, the township executive commit
teemen must get on their horses and
ride the country. In this way, ! am
satisfied that We can raise TWO ytaou-
sand bales. II there Is no otner way
for 1t, and the rest Will 90 IL, ! am
perfectly willing to double my own
subscription"

Out Of total book OF $sISl2.s4
Treasurer Nicely succeeded In collect
ing, up to January l, when the ! per
cent penalty began TO attach, SS2,Oso.Ss
When the books opened on October le'
he had 10000 receipts to issue and up
to last Saturday he issued $3.50, laay-
ing 3,s40 receipts still to issue, and
$15,7S2.55 still to collect. Most Of the
large taxpayers got their receipts he
fore the per cent penalty began to
attach, and the amount still outsti.nd-
ing will come principally from the
smaller taxpayers. Treasurer Nicely
says that two weeks ago 1t looked as
II he would do we'll to collect total OF
$4,000 before January, and he Is
much gratifed at the way money roll

month. The total collections up to
this time aggregate about as usual;
but the number Of receipts behind is
probably larger than II has ever been
on this date. 4.

| Rurn.d 70 Death.
An aged negro named,s John Moore,
was found dead in his cabin on the
l15one Mace about a mile west Of Shar-
on last Tuesday, and upon being noti-
fled Coroner Louthian went to the spot
| to investigate the circumstances by
which the negro probably came to his
death. The body lay on the bed
wrapped in a couple Of old quilts, the
legs were exposed. DR.. ]. b. saye as
sisted the coroner in an examination
and found some severe burns. Tne oio
mans shoes were near the fire plf'ce'
and some partly burned rags on the
hearth, taken In connection with otner
circumstances led to the conclusion
that 1t was probably a case of acciden-
tai burning. 1t is thought that the oid
mans clothes may have become igrit-
ed while he was lying by the are
and that he got on the bed and rolled
h,nseIf IN the quilts In his efforts to
qat relief from his agony The old
man was last seen alive, about Sharon
on tho Saturday previous. He lived
alone IN the cabin in which his body
was found. and Coroner Louthian says
,hara was no sign OF anything to eat
about the place. Al
