sound of perpetual breaking of glass. All
the forest looked drenched and foriorn.
The skyline was a ragged inclosure of gray
cliffs and hemlocks and pines. If one had

WHITMIRE NOT IN WOODS.
; Live and Progressive City-Good
Graded School-Churches, Bank
and Cotton Mill.

Mr.. Editor: I noticed an article
ilyour paper some time ago over the
Samle Of H. P. Ducket, which does
Whitmire a great injustice. Whit
is not in the woods as Mr..
mDucket would have you to believe.
Whitmire has fine up-to-date cot
ton mill, bank, graded school and
best of all, good churches. Whit
mire is up-to-date IN every respect
and no town Of its age can excel
.8Whitmire for growth and business.
sNm l am new conner to the city,
7 not much acquainted with the to-
biography Of the country would say
that Whitmire would make an ideal
county site that any county would be
proud of. To compare Whitmire
with still born town, say like May
binton, which can mot be found on
the may is an outrage. Who, is Mr..
H. p. Ducket9 I have made diligent
Inquiry. Mr.. John Ducket and his
son who run a drug store at this
sxplace> are the only persons by the
Name that can be found. Why does
Ducket give his full names as
Vmany people have assured me that
do such man lives in the town or
Soyntry. Whitmire is a full COM
ln&rical town and no doubt cXcels
lnahy other places with twice its
Npopulation. But if many more such

Rs6Htted to pass unnoticcd Enorce

The Only Way to Succeed.

When you leave out from home to
attend Farmers Union meeting
pull off that old selfish cloak Of
yours and hang it on the gate post
until you return from the meeting.
The distinctive difference in a un-
ion OF cooperative meeting and your
self is this, when you join in with
your neighbor to do anything for the
good Of all, your whole body and
soul is all built into the big man {!
That is, YOU are mere part of what
it took to make this giant man, who
is so powerful that little selfish fel-
lows and other gaints of smaller
breeds and Of less import must get
out of your way. These great giants
that grow on the farms are popping
up all over the south very fast and
growing big and fast like corn on
rich soil after good shower in June.

Government Cotton Reports.

[ have about the same contempt
for the crop reporter as I would have
for the suspicious character who
would saunter around my premises
inquiring about where we keep that
old sock leg that is sometimes more
or less (oftcner lcss) full of money.
If a man comes our way wanting
a pig or cow, it is no part Of our bust
ness to inquire about how big crop
of money the fellow has the first
thing-like cotton buyers do-so as
to strain our scruples in the matter in
an effort to pull him according to
the crop of money he has regardless
of the worth of the pig!
Reliable crop reports gotten up by
farmers organizations may be used
to advantage of farmers in making
prices. But have never known any
one save spectators to work govern
ment crop reports to their interest.
And worst Of it is that producers
largely pay for the information in
this matter that is used solely for the
knowledge it gives as to how best to
manipulate plans to rob the produc-
er, who has furnished The voluntary
information as to where his unguard-
ed money bag is hidden.

The party representing himself as
the agent of the company is stran-
ger. He assured the old negro the

than April II, or in 10 days. The old
negro s money is gone and he has no
policy yet.
Inquiry reveals the fact that this
socalled agent has gotten money
from a! number of other negroes and
in one instance, at least, from white
people bit so far none of them have
received the promised policies.

table companies protect their COM
missioned agents in their respective
territories, it is almost certain the
alleged agent is fraud. And furth-
er his promise to write three-years
policy Of $4,000 for a premium of
$50, when the premium would be $4S,
tends to confirm the theory that it
is a swindle.
1t appears that he operates prin-
cipally among negroes, and, it is said,
spends the nights Mt their homes. If
he has not left the county or can be
located, it is probable several indict-
ments will confront him at the next
term of court.

WHALE HUNT OFF LONG ISLAND
Old Whalemen Capture Two That
VIII Cut Up Into Quite a
Bunch of Money.

Amagansett, L. /, Feb. 23.-Three
whales following a school of fish work
ing along the Atlantic coast were
sighted off the south shore Of Long
Island, and two of them were killed
by old time whalers who live here or
at Wainscott. A bull landed here is II
feet long and perfect The one gotten
at Wains :ott Is a calf between 40 and
90 feet long. The bull promises to
yield seventy-five barrels of oil while
the whalebone is eight and a half feet
long
The third whale did not escape until
harpoons had been made fast. Whalers
think he will float up off shore within
day or two, for he appeared mortal
~ wounded. The bull was killed by
Captain Josiah Edwards, who has
spent most Of his rs years whaling.
The calf was the prize of Captain Oil
yer Osborne and his crew of nine men.
