So far very few loans have been
made on cotton: While a represen-
tative Of The Enquirer a in Rock
Hill the other day, he learned that
many thousands Of dollars Of loans
that were made last spring at 8 per
cent had been renewed on q s per
cent basis; but SO far there have been
virtually no applications for new loans.
The new cotton Is not yet available
and 1t Is rather early. Inquiry Of the
bank Of Sharon developed the fact
that although there has been much
interest in the published offer to
lend on warehouse certificates at 8 per
cent discount, up to this time there
have been no applications for the &C.
tual money.

Living in Hopes.
I'VE are living in hopes that some
Of these days the county changing
will again work the original Sharon
road, that Is the road via Sutton
spring." remarked MI. R. e. Mcclure
course the road Is not the best in h
county by any means, but I have
travelled much worse highways. The
people out my way contend that h
road from Yorkville to Sharon by SUIT
ton spring Is shorter than any other.
One great trouble Is that Dur road Is
too narrow. It was built that way. II
has been some seven or eight years
since the changing has done IN
work on 1t whatever. We are doing
what work We can voluntarily from

Of these days in the near future the

that they will adopt the road by SUIT
ton spring as the best route between
Sharon and the county seat"
