Most Of the cotton planting has been
completed In this county; but there is
still some planting to be done In varf-
Gus sections. From the best informa-
ton obtainable, the acreage Is certain
ly no less than last year; but Is prob
ably little larger. The corn acreage
is fully 10 per cent greater than last
year, and as a general thing the crop
been known in this county. Corn
planting has been delayed In the SAN
tuck country by the wet weather. Peo-
Die of that section have their cotton all
in; but number Of them are still
waiting to plant corn. They are also
increasing their corn acreage. There Is
a large crop Of oats growing; but the
condition appears to have deteriorated
during the past month.
The County Commissioners.
The county board Of commissioners
met In regular monthly session last
Wednesday; but because Of the vacan-

for the board to find out from the treas
urer what money Is on hand for vari-
GUS purposes, before issuing warrants.
No warrants having previously been
issued against the township road funds,
there was nothing to prevent the pay
ment of such accounts as had been
rendered. Pursuant to notice compet-
tive bids were received from the ply
sicians of the vicinity to do the chain
gang practice while the stockade was
located In the neighborhood Of Rock
Hill. The contract was awarded to DR..
w. G. Stevens.
