Ia Good Corn Prospect.
According I a number Of people
who have seen the same, Mr.. w. L.
Williams Of Yorkville, has a field Of
corn containing II acres which bids
fair to yield between 1000 and 1900
bushels. The corr has attracted cor
siderable attention and just now farm
ers in all sections surrounding York
vile are interested in the fine field.
The corn suffered severely from the
heavy storm which struck q portion
Of the northeastern section Of the
county about two months ago and ii
Is thought the yield will not be so
great as 1t might otherwise have been
on that account. The place on which
the corn is growing is under the SUI
pervision Of Mr.. John Stuart who has
just begun to pull the fodder. Mr.
Williams thinks he will get a yield
of nearly $500 bushels.
Waiting For Fifteen Cents.
mo, I have not sold my cotton and I
don't expect to until the price reaches
Is cents and then I am not sure I
will sell 1t at that figure" Such was
the reply Of Mr.. Louis Roth Of York.
vile to the query Of tho reporter as to
whether or not he had sold the cotton
which he bought last fall when the
staple was not bringing mor than
bought 249 bales, paying 10 cents for
three-fourths Of 1t while the rest was
bought at 8 and 9 cents. The cotton
has been in local warehouses q year.
Discussing the outlook for high
price cotton Mr.. Roth said he expected
the market to reach Is cents before
spring and very probably by January
!. He said that in his opinion there
was nothing to prevent cotton from
reaching that figure. Mr.. Roth does
not think this years crop will total
more than 1O,5 0 900 bales.

Indigo Plant for Rock Hill.
Charlotte Observer: Mill men and
others throughout this territory will
be interested to learn that Mr.. Hamil-
ton Carhartt, a we'll known manufac-
turer Of overalls with big plants at
various points throughout the country.
is preparing to install, in connection
with his mill at Rock Hill, s.. c., an
indigo plant. It will be perhaps the
only plant Of it's kind In this oun
try, and will go far toward solving the
vexed dye situation which the Europ-
can war has brought about. The Rock
Hill plant will operate to grind the
vegetable indigo as grown In India, ar
rangements for which have been made
, Tor shipping to this country. The
cost Of the vegetable product will be
about SO a pound, as against a cheap
er rate formerly paid for Germany's
dyes, but it Is going to demonstrate
that indigo dyes can be made in this
country just as good-if not quite as
cheap, perhaps, at first-as in any
country. In a card to Manager Part
ridge, Of the Atlanta factory, Mr..
Carhartt recently stated that "the
English government has allowed a
certain quantity Of the vegetable in
digo to be shipped into the United
States under a signed agreement with
importers that this indigo shall not be
exported to any nations at war with
her." Manager Partridge declares, &C.
cording to the Atlanta Constitution,
that the new brown overall-the Van
dyke brown-put out by them several
weeks ago., Is proving very popular,
but the move or the part of Mr.. Car
hartt to operate his own indigo plant
at Rock Hill is done in order to &C.
commodate the future buyers who may
insist Upon the old and original color
Of overall material. The plant will be
in operation within the next few
months.
