A talk With q man who knows cotton
fields when he sees them, and who is
not a curb stone philosopher, prophet,
and a general bureau Of knowledge of
what is to be, told Us that he has made
q personal inspection of number OF
cotton fields. and it is his opinion the
Weld will not be IS much as last year,
in some places the deterioration has
been greater than others, but the aver
age all over the county he would say is
more than IS per cent.
Mr.. F. c. Thomas o! this town brought
from the Bloomville section last Friday
a number of cotton limbs TO show how
people are being misled in judging the
cotton crop this season. These limbs
were long and healthy looking, but they
had but few bolls, some of them not over
one to the limb. MIR. Thomas says TO look
at the field without going into it to ex-
smine is very deceiving. and the cotton
crop wilt not be any way near what was
thought 1t would be three weeks ago.

rolls for labor, and customers for uer-
chandise.

II what is said in the city of Sumter
by a number Of prominent citizens about
the action of the county board OF can
vassers, it would not surprise US in the
least il the election recently held is de-
clared null and void. It was unfortunate
that the vote was so close, far better fol
both sides would it have been had there
been good margin. then perhap:
neither side would have made a contest
after the result was declared, but with
such narrow margin. and the law 20,
being strictly complied with, neither
lside is satisfied. and it is likely tt
become q long drawn out fight in the
courts.
