nalely 400 acres of farm land, IN
Cherokee county is to be auctioned
and sold to the highest bidders WITHIN
the next ten days, according to an
nouncements made by real estate
dealers. The tracts are located all
the way from close in to Gaffney' to
several miles distant, and in every
section of the county. An expert IN
real estate values could hardly esti-
mate the total value of the land to be
offered without making extensive cal
culations, but 1t seems probable that
II is safe to say that more than "a
0O0,O00 worth of Cherokee county
land Is listed to be Sold. NJ. i. Hayes
proprietor of the Hayes and 10 Cent
store on Limestone street, has filed n

days have been very highly appreciated
by Cherokee county farmers because
of their beneficial effort upon the crops
which have been suffering from lack
Of moisture. Some farmers say that
the rains have come too late to do
very much good, but they admit that
the crops were burning up a few days
ago. Experienced farmers who have
been about over Cherokee county pre-
dict that there is going to be q short
age in corn in this section next spring
and summer. The yield this year Is
expected to be below the average. and
some say that the acreage given to
corn this year is less than has been
customary in the past. The prospects
for cotton are also discouraging inso-
far as bumper crop Is concerned.
