Big Credit Indications.
! The demand for chattel mortgage
and lien blanks has been larger this
year than for years. This statement is
based on the actual observation OF
THE ENoU1RER's business office, and Is
published not by way Of advertising
such blanks but as q hint to those who
may be able to weigh its significance.
The probability is that other dealers In
such blanks are also selling more than
usual, and taken altogether 1t means
that the credit Of the country is to be
pledged to a much greater extent than
usual in connection with the next crop.

The Labor Situation.
AS indicated by conditions In this
section the cotton acreage this year Is
to be limited only by the amount OF
available labor. Some farmers have
about all the labor they will require;
but others have little or none. In the
first place labor seems to be scarcer
than usual and in the second place IL
is generally disposed to hold out for
better terms than have been granted
heretofore. In some instances the
matter has been adjusted satisfactorily,
while in other cases there has been no
agreement. The common tendency
seems to be to make up for the labor
shortage by the increased use OF COM
mercial fertilizers.
Operated on For Appendicitis.
A telephone message received mere
yesterday morning brought Information
that DR.. c. F. Williams has suffered
an attack of appendicitis, and has SUD-
mitted to an operation. DR.. Williams
felt the first symptom Of the trouble
Sunday morning and promptly dag
nosed 1t. Later he consulted with a
brother physician who agreed on the
diagnosis and it was decided that
there should be an operation at once.
The operation was performed at the
Columbia hospital Sunday night, and
information received since then Is TO
the effect that the doctor Is getting
along very nicely: but 1t Is too early
vet to feel entire assurance as to the
outcome.

Joseph Smith last Friday morning mas

in town yesterday, and said he had not
been able to obtain any information

Vile. AS stated, the bag contained
