HAS BEST
PROSPECTS EVER
HAVE MADE TOUR or
INSPECTION OVER COUNTY AND
SAY PROSPECT is BRIGHT.

r. 4. Thurmond ana W. f. Warren
have returned from tour OF inspec-
ton over greater part of the east
ern portion OF this county, where
they have been looking over the cot
ton crop They went from here 10
BerWyn, thence TO Baum, thence
south over that section, and back
TO AIdmore. Nlr Thurmond who is
recognized as one of the most reli-
able Judges Of the cotton crop in this
section, reports that prospects for 4
bumper crop were never better and
that if all cotton that is on the stalks
now IS matmed that Ardmor1 will
receive twenty-five thousand bales OF
cotton. The cotton in the river hot
toms is especially fine Mr.. Thur
mond states that they made careful
Investigations and no boil worms or
WeeNils were found nor any trace Of
them. over the entire territory that
they covered only few fields were
found that were not in good condi-
ton. These were on the uplands and
were probably not properly c1ltiyat
ed. Mr.. Thurmond states that he
does MOI think the crop as good as
it has heen reported by some, but
that with the prospects as GOOD as
they are no one should have a right
to complain.
People who has been over the
western part of the county give
equally as flattering reports Of the
conditions of the crop as has Mr..
Thurmond. and if nothing occurs in
the next few weeks to hinder the
growth of the cotton the crop is
practically insured, as much of the
fruit that is on the stalk now is prac-
tically made.
Many conflicting reports are made
in regard 10 the corn crop You can
get almost as many opinions as you
ask different people. but every one
agrees that the cotton crop is the
best for many years. Practically all
the farmers whose corn crops were
destroyed by the drouth have planted
more corn or kaffir corn and milo
maize. and plenty of feed will be
made to supply the needs, and after
all is said the farmers in this sec
tion will he in better condition fnan-
Cially this fall than they have been
for sCme time.
The cotton acreage was increased
considerably this year, and if they
do not make as much on the Othcr
crops as is usually made, the cotton
crop will more than cover the defi-
cioncy. The farmers generally in this
section are elated over the prospects
and a splendid business in all lines
is expected here this season.

JOHN K|LLMAN
WILL Be SUCCESS
YOUNG MAN WHO BEGAN AS
MESSENGER BOY WORKS HIS
WAY TO THE TOP.

John Killman, VINO was for some
time employed here as a messenger
boy with the telegraph companies
has returned from Dallas, where he
has been for the past year in the en-
ployment OF the Postal Telegraph
Co. Killman, who is about seventeen
years of age, began in the telegraph
business as a messenger boy when he
was very Young He showed a keen
interest in the affairs and was given
a chance to learn the instruments
and was soon able to receive and
send messages, and was given a
position in Dallas that paid him
$3.50 per month, and remained there
for several months.
But before leaving here he had
promised Mr., Salisbury at the PostSl
office that when he had mastered
his trade he would come here and
work for him for one year.
His mother also lives here, and to
spend his time with her and fulfill
his promise 10 Mr. Salisbury, caused
the young man to return. This is only
another case that proves there is al
ways an opportunity for the boy who
is willing to begin at the bottom and
work for what he gets.

FIFTEEN CARS OF
ELBERTA PEACHES
HAVE BEEN SHIPPED TO DATE
AND SEVERAL MORE WILL FOL-
LoW-ATTRAcTS ATTENTION.

The fifteenth car of Elberta peaches
were shipped from here yesterday
and it is estimated that there will be
three or four cars yet to be shipped.
bushels of peaches and they have net
ted the grower one dollar per bushel
SO it can easily be seen that the
peach crop this year has been a great
help to the farmer, coming as it does,
between crops when money is hard
to get. it has been the means of put
ting several thousand dollars in cir
Culation in this county and has not
only been beneficial to the man who
sold the peaches, but to many others
as well. One man sold twenty-five
hundred dollars worth of Elbertas and
the cost of taking care of the orchard
for the year and the gathering of the
fruit has cost a great deal less and
required less attention than it would
require TO grow that amount of cot
ton.
The greater part of the fruit ship
ped from here was shipped TO Chi
cago but a few cars went to New
Orleans and other southern cities.
There will always be a ready market
here for fruit for the reason that it
can be shipped into any of the large
cities in very short length of time,
for that reason the fruit does not
have to be gathered green and allow
ed to ripen in transit, but can be
gathered ripe. which gives it a bet
ter flavor and makes it more desir-
able on the market.
Men who understand the orchard
business who have visited this section
this season say that this is an ideal
place for the growing of fruit, and
soil is especially adapted to the grow
ing of peaches.
After the result of this years peach
crop is noticed by the farmers it is
expected that many land owners will
put out orchards. The crop here this
year was not a full one by any means
for the reason that the late frosts
destroyed many of the peaches, and
if the amount of money per acre that
has been received here for a partial
crop of peaches, gives sucn astonish-
ing results. it can ne seen that
a full crop would be a money max
ing proposition indeed.
It requires less time to attend to
an orchard than for any other crop
that can be grown on farm and the

land where the orchard is plante |
may also be planted TO otherc rops
until the trees are large, and in this
way the use of the land is not lost
while waiting for the trees to becom
old enough to bear.
Many people are already beg!nni7 :
to take notice of the fruit industry,
and it is expected that more fruit
trees will be planted here in the next
year than have ever been planted in
this section in the same length OF
time.
