the United States, and especially
South Carolina has enough mills Ia
use up all OF the cotton raised in
that state and more besides. and
keep all Of the money at home. Ard
more can do the same thing aud
thereby save money for the mcr

fact that is well known through.

where cotton mills are located the
price OF the staple is higher than
in those sections where no mill eX.

Not only does a cotton mill mean
the saving of money for the farmer
in the sale OF his crop, but 1t makes
a market for other produce as well
In Spartanburg, Co, South Caro-.
lima. there are 10 mills with a total
number of 63I292 spindles, and H.
S32 looms. These mills nave com
mon stock OF $6.46lOOO and prefer

The first mill erected at McColl

the heart of the cotton raising dis

Ardmore with little push and pul

the enterprise.

here; one farmer was in Saturday to

to climb corn stalk that morning
and the corn grew so fast that he was
afraid be would lose the boy; that the
corn grew faster than the boy could
climb down. He said he went to the
house to get something to cut the
stalk down with, but the corn grew SO
fast that he couldn't strike twice in
the same place. He said at noon the
boy threw down some cobs off which
he had eaten the corn and the size of
the cobs indicated good roasting ears.
He wanted lot of men to go out and
