Tn ere is demand being made by /:
certain class OF large cotton grower:
for the repeal OF the cotton acreage

opposed.
Mr.. A. Abrams says that he is de.
lighted with his move into the Leee

up greatly and he is getting ready to
60 to market to buy in anticipation oil
the revival Of trade. Iu the meantime

make it to the advantage of buyers to
visit his store now.
Notwithstanding the efforts Of the
big warehousemen the tobacco grower:
of Clarendon do not desire legislation
which will force them to place thei,
tobacco on the market in graded form
They believe, and with good reason,
the agitation is solely in the interest
of the large wareh ouses. and if law is
enacted to force grading it will have a
tendency to drive out the competition
from the smaller markets.
The teachers meeting will be held
in the court house here next Saturday,
instead of the graded school building.
This change will be to the advantage
Of all the teachers. and should be noted

Attention Is called to the supervisor
to the manner OF road working in this
county. Complaint is being made Of the
roads being worked during the wet sea
son which causes the roads to become
impossible. One citizen told us that
after rainy season when work cannot
be done on the farm the hands are put
on the roads and they do more harm
than good. He invited us to go with
him across Ok Swamp to see what he
terms waste of time and money. We
mention this that the supervisor can
remedy the trouble. sss7e.;
