PROFIT IN PECANs.

That no finer pecans are to be
obtained anywhere in the coun-
try than those from the grove of
b. M. Lee. two miles south of Fort
Mill. is the consensus of opinion
OF many people who have seen
the size and tasted the quality Of
the nuts Mr.. Lee has offered for
sale i'll limited quantities on the
local market within the last two
or three weeks. The yield from
Mr.. Lees trees was larger this
year than in any year since he
planted the first Of his grove sew
eral years ago, but there was such
a demand for the nuts that he
was able to offer only small
part of his crop for sale locally.
Except his nearest neighbors.
not very many people even in Fort
Mill township perhaps know Of
the extent Of Mr.. Lees pecan
grove. Several years ago he set
out $50 trees. which are now
bearing. Last year he added lo7
trees TO the original grove and is
just now putting in the ground
10 mere. His oldest trees were set
out about IL years ago and the
average yield from number of
these this year sold for $25. He
found ready sale in Rock Hill
and elsewhere for the pecans at
GO cents per pound.
Mr.. Lee is an enthusiast on the
subject of pecan growing and to

life Of a pecan tree is unknown.
In San Antonio. Texas, there is a
mammoth pecan tree which is eS-
innate to be 2lS years old. Last
year it produced 35 bushels.
Pecan trees do not produce
their fullest and most abundant
crop until they are about % years
old. They begin to bear when
they are about five years old, but
when they are young crop can
not be depended upon every year
But at that, it is interesting to

tree, with 20 trees to the acre,
making 1000 pounds of nuts per
acre, at 80 cents per pound, it will
be seen that the yield from the
acre will bring in $1,000. never

Ginning Season Nearing End.

Twenty 4one hundred bales of
cotton have thus far been ginned
from this years crop at the Fort
Mill ginnery, according to Il
statement yesterday made to The
Times by }. =. Crowder. super
mtendcnt, who estimates that
not more than 100 bales are left
to be ginned locally. Mr.. Crow
der also said that the ginnery was
several hundred. bales ahead of
the ginnings for the same time
last year, but attributed the fact
10 the early opening of the crop
and the favorable weather for
gathering it. In his opinion, the
present crop will be several hun.
dred bales short of that of last
year. Ordinarily more than 1900
bales of cotton are annually sold
in Fort Mill, but not all this cot

FOOTBALL SEASON ENDS.
Fort Mill Boys Did Well Consid
ering Inexperience.

fOrt Mill high school eleven,
while not a brilliant success. can
not be said to have been a fail
llre. OF the seven games the team
played, two were won, one tied
and four lost. Hard luck seemed
to follow the team through the
season. for only once or twice did
the breaks come Fort Mills way.
while III numerous instances the
tcdm s opponents scored OH flukes
or fumbles.
The team was developed from
Inexperienced players, younger
and lighter than any team in this
section of the State. Only one or
two of Nhe boys had ever before
played football and several had
never seen real game. The av.
erage age of the players was
