Much Cotton in the Field.
Investigation among farmers living
in various sections Of the county de-
velops that there are many cotton
fields which have not been thor
ough'y picked. The aso given is
that t has been impossible to work
in the fields owing to the weather,
Speaking of the matter yesterday, one

Charged With Burglary.
T. K. Cunningham, a negro, was ar
rested in Charlotte Wednesday, and
brought to the York county Jail ia
await trial on the charge Of house
breaking and larceny. It Is alleged
the negro stole several articles OF
clothing from another negro more
than a year ago. After the alleged
theft he went to Charlotte, and al
though a warrant was taken out fol-
him 1t was for some reason never
served. Last week the negro wa

"a visit to the picture show, etc
The matter Of securing special trains
from Fort Mill and Rock Hill n tn.
Southern railway and from Glover on
the c. & NV, have been taken up
with the railroad authorities and
while they have given no definite
answer to the requests for special
trains. the authorities in charge of
the Field Day exercises are not an
ticipating any trouble about securing
the desired schedules.
Time Up Tomorrow.
Tomorrow Is the last day that tax
returns can be made to the county au-
ditor without a penalty. The auditor
has been kept very busy this week
taking returns but many taxpayers of
the county have yet to make their
presentment. Speaking on the sub
ject yesterday, Auditor Love said that
many people liable to poll tax were
not making such return due to the
fact that they had the road tax and
poll tax mixed. Persons yer 55 years
of age are not liable for road tax and
persons over go years Of age are liable
neither for road nor poll tax. Many
persons over IS years Of age In max
ing their yearly return neglect to re-
turn their names for poll tax. AS a
result Of such misunderstanding, quite
a number who have made their re-
turn complete, as they thought, will
likely have to pay their poll tax with
the penalty attached.
