The Cotton County of Carolina.

Scotland county was formed OF the
richest portions of Robson and Rich
mond counties. On the map IL looks
like a mere township between these
two counties. It is one Of the smallest
counties in the state, yet last year it
produced 1887 bales of cotton. This
year it will go 10000 bales or over.
It is a matter of record hat Scotland
produces more cotton per acre than

is similar TO Marlborough county
