government tabulation OF the separate
returns from the ginners for the Sep

county, from the crop Of 1914, prior
to September 25th, 1914, as compared
with 577 bales ginned prior to Septem-
ber 25th, 1913. The 1914 tabulation for
the county was made by Col. L. b.
Butler, acting as special agent for the
government. Although the Buy
a-bale" Of cotton plan seems to have
been forgotten in Gaffney, memories
that such a movement had once been
proposed here were aroused in many
people on yesterday when four Lime
stone college girls canvassed the town
selling little pasteboard bales or cotton
tied with yellow ribbons to be worn
as badges. The Limestone girls pro-
pose to secure enough money in this
manner to buy real bale Of cotton,
which will be held until it can be sold
at twelve cents per pound or more.
The proceeds realized from the sale of
the cotton are to be used in starting an
endowment fund for the college. The
girls sold many Of the miniature
bales yesterday, and it was seldom
that a man appeared upon the street
unless he was wearing one on MS
coat lapel. ;. DR.. j. G.. Pittman Of this
