Building Operations.
Il am inclined to think that the cost
of building, both as to materials and
labor, Is pretty close down to rock bot
tom now" said Erwin Moore, Of the
Logan Lumber Yard, yesterday. "The
price of brick is now pretty close to
pre-war figures, and lumber Is, / think,
about as low as it is going to be soon
There is a considerable amount OF
building going on in Rock Hill, Ches-
ter, Glover and elsewhere Immediately
around us, and our concern has about
all the work it can handle. In fact, al
most everybody in the building line is
busy, and when you come to think
about 1t, these activities are helping
things generally. If 1t were not for the
money being paid out for building. the
situation would be duller than 1t is"
Other Late Paintings.
Yes, we have been this late before
said Mr.. T. M. Allen of Harmony, the
other day, "a number Of times within
my recollection; but 1 could not give
you the dates off-hand. / remember
particularly, however, the season OF
1899. That was a wet spring, and there
had been no plowing up to the 7th OF
-
was the date of the death Of our old
friend, Matthew H. Williams. But
when we did get at it, we certainly
tried to make UP for lost time. That
Is the way 1t will be this year, pre-
sume. We have not got the stalks out
yet and we have lot to do. 1t is safe
to predict that there will not be much
fixing of the land. We will just break
1t up and plant without much prepara-
tion."
Outlook More Hopeful.
There is a more hopeful and buoy
ant spirit among the people now than
there was few weeks ago." said ]. H.
B. Jenkins, acting vice president OF
the Peoples Bank and Trust compan-
ny, yesterday. II can see it quite
plainly. A few weeks back the gloom
was so general and oppressive, that 1t
seemed difficult to keep from catching
it, something 1 never allow myself to
do. There is nothing more fatal to
business than that. But Immediately
after the farmers got to plowing you
could see the difference. 1 have seen
them in worse spirit many a time than
they are now. AS l see 1t nobody is
going to take any big risk on an all
cotton crop this year. I'm not; but
still am here to help, and am going
to do nv share as have always been
trying to do
Bumper Crops.

And all such stuff,
We know we'll have
More than enough.

To be our guests;
In countless droves
Arrive the pests.

Our number of pessimists
Is still very great,
And there's little hope
That 1t will abate.
