HERE AND THERE.
S. L. Courtney, automobile, dealer Of
Yorkyille. left yesterday for Detroit,
Mich, to spend "a few days. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Courtney. Popu-
larity of Fords, according to Mr..
Courtney is on the increase and there
I is no probability that the supply will
equal the demand at any time in the,
near future. An order for a Ford was
placed the other day and delivery was
promised in December, 1921.
"York is the worst moonshining
county in; my district" said District

With violators of the law in York

vides two officers for nine counties"

Mr. T. Howard Riddle, Of Clover, R.
f. d. No. 2, who lost his crops by a
hailstorm early in the summer and
had to replsnt during the latter part
of June, says that he win do fairly
well yet. He replanted both cotton
and corn, and of course both crops are
late; but the prospect for a fairly
good crop of cotton is not so bad after
all. II would say that my Cotton is
rather better fruited than the older
crops" said Mr. Riddle, who was in
town n few days ago. but that is not
saying am expecting to make as
much as If the hail had not struck me.
The outcome will depend upon the
lateness of the season. and some of
the bolls, many OF them, I'M fact, are
certain to get caught no matter how
late the season"
