Mr.. W.. n. Williamson of Guthries-
Vile, ginned two bales of new crop cot
ton yesterday. One was raised by Mr.
Jack Bratton and the other by Co.
lumbus Blake, colored.
The out-o o. town attendance on the
c%hautauqua at Glover was much larger
than at this place and one OF the rea-
sons was hat the Glover entertain
ment was better advertised.
The Home Coming and Chautau-
qua" has been quite a success except
from the standpoint of outside attend
| ance, which has been much lighter
than was expected by those in charge
| or the management.
There was considerable amusement
in the chautauqua tent because OF the
slips of the speakers in repeatedly say
ing "Yorkville" instead of York
| Even Mayor Wilborn has made the
slip more than once.
Now, Dr.. w. Spencer Currell. presi-
| dent OF the South Carolina university
might have come up and delivered q
most excellent c~hautauqua address II
he had only been invited; but by some
| oversight, 1t is presumed, the doctor
was not invited.
One of the most interesting Of the
agricultural exhibits here this week
was a stalk Of fine cotton raised by
Mr.. D. E. Durant Of Guthriesville. Thu
stalk of cotton contained more than
10 bolls. Attached to the stalk was a
placard which read, mo fertilizer

that John S. Hardness, cashier OF the
First National bank of Sharon, sends

telephone this morning, Mr.. HARNESS
said: We have made connection

The cool weather Of the past few
DAYS has been having q very harmful
effect on cotton. 1t is well understood
that the cool weather Of August and
September always does injury. Farm
ers who have been in n Enquirer
office during the past few days, say
that cotton blooms, which came out
white one morning and turn red and
drop off during the fore part of the
next udy, arc hoiuih6 VII
instead Of only "a hours, and this
means that such blooms stand an I'M
possible chance to make cotton. 1t
has long been recognized that a tenn
perature below 70 degrees Is very try
ing on the growth Of cotton.
Southern railway employees, espe-
cially engineers, firemen, onducto
and trainmen, are much pleased over
a contract the Southern has recently
made to haul coal to Charleston. Ac-
cording to rumors among the men, the
coal is to come from Virginia and
Tennessee mines and is to be taken
to Charleston in immense quantities.
1t is understood that the coal contract
covers a period Of six years and the
movement has already begun. To
handle this business will require at
least eight crews-engineers, tremen,
conductors, brakemen-about six men
to the crew. This will give at least
eight denoted engineers, now running
as iremen, their old jobs again, and
this in turn will make additional jobs
for firemen, and in addition to the
larger number Of trainmen employed,
the coal movement will necessarily
call for the employment Of more men
in the freight yards at Sp%artanburg
and Columbia as well as at the coal
docks in Charleston, where the South
crn has recently completed an i'm
mense coal handling plant.
