Fine Crops in the Low Country

Mr.. j. w. A. Hunphries spent a
few days last week in Darlington and
Sumter counties, and brought us a
fine ear of corn and a hank of to-
bacco, both very fine samples. He
says tobacco is bringing a handsome
price, many farmers having already
sold more than $3.50 per acre and
more to be sold. The ear of corn he
brought was made on fresh land
and was without any work from the
day it was planted. Corn and cotton
in the low country are fine, from the
report brought back by Mr. Eum2h-
ries.

Slit Trousers Latest.

ATLANTA, Sept 1.-Slit trousers
for men are the latest freak fashion
In Atlanta. They have made their
appearance on models in the win
dows and on one or two daring
youths in the street. Each leg of the
trouser IS slit four or five inches
along the outside seam, from the
bottom, and when worn with loud
colored socks the effect is rather
clownish and startling.
The trousers are an Importation.
No Atlanta tailor is responsible for
them. "Too silly even to talk about"
is the way the local, sartorial artists
regard the fad.
