We hazard the guess that four
times as much tobacco will be
grown in this section next year
as was grown this year. The
experiment at Guess is meeting
all expectations. Mr.. Gulledge
is curing his third barn now, and
has not proceeded far enough to
give no estimate of the yield on
his 8 or 9 acres. He says the
dry weather did not hurt the
tobacco half so much as it did
he corn and cotton. Mr.. Gul
ledge will soon be marketing his
tobacco and jingling his cash,
while the cottontots will still
be looking forward to the time
when the fleecy staple will be
ready for the uncertain market.
We hope to give our readers
some figures ere long that will
convince some of them that
Chesterfield county sandhilIs
will produce tobacco.

To The World.

: "A true statement concerning
the two notes which Will Blunt,
colored, of Monroe, N. c., re-
ceived on the morning that he
arrived in Pageland to figure
with Mr.. Frank Walters on the
three buildings which are under
way of construction at this time.
Now hear us, if we lie one time
in this statement we feel and
know that we will certainly be
transgressing Gods sacred laws.
Now we take this method of
explaining our true reasons for
doing this. Now, in the spirit
in which we write this and in
she spirit in which we wrote the
two notes to Blunt, we staud
open to the christian world for
conviction, feeling after spiritual
consideration they will not con-
demn us. Of course, we care
nothing of what the worldly
people have to say for they con-
demned and crucificd our dear
Lord while here on earth.
First re.,sou-The thought
that came 10 us first was that by
warning Blunt to stay away
would keep him from probably
getting seriously hurt, as we had
heard some parties express them
selves very favorably, on the
tgrounds in which we will ex-
lplain in reason second, we two
thinking within ourselves it
would be favor on Blunt's part

young Town.
