"There are numbers of good colorec
farmers as we'll as white farmers II
York county who are going to have
money this fall in spite of the Dol
weevil," said Joe NJ. Taylor OF Eoe-
nezer the other day. Take Sam
Jenkins of Ebenezer for instance. Sam
is going to make eight bales Of cotton
this year on eight and one-hhf acres
On the same land last year he maze
fifteen bales. Still he made the crop
this wear for much less than that OF
last wear and he'll have money IN the
bank"
Cattle Hard to Sell.
There is practically no sale FOR peer
cattle in our city and section now'
commented a Rock Hill citizen VIM
was in Yorkville yesterday. Had a
man come to me the other day wanting
to know if I could tell him where ne
could place fifteen head Of cattle. He
said that he had been offered IL
cents gross for them but he couldnt
afford to take that and he didn't want
to feed them all the winter. But then
I guess the lack of demand is because
there are scores of people who nave
cattle that they don't want to feed over
the winter"

Gambling at Gastonia.
Dropped up TO the CASTOR county
fair Wednesday night" remarked a
Yorkville man yesterday. Noticed
that the old time pan gambling game
was going on among the concession
aires right along and no questions
asked Each man placed his money
and if he hit the lucky number he got
the money; if he didn't the house got
the money. The blind was cigar
cites instead of money. Those games
are oil right at fairs, it seems; but II
g. cop should come along and catch me
with acres and kings and the man
sitting across the table from me had
queens and Jacks and there was q
pile of money on the table why it
would be the coop for us, reckon"
The Prize 'Possum Story.
THAT story about Auditor Love
catching the 'possum the other day
reminds me of an experience l had
several years ago." said Mr.. ]. E.
Lowry of Yorkville this morning.
caught three 'possums in my bed room
1t has been five years, / guess. My
wife awoke me one night and called
my attention to a scratching noise.
Peeping under the bed l saw big
'possum shining his eyes. 1 got the
coal tongs and dragged him out and
after cracking his neck, threw him out
the window. I went back to bed but
the noise continued and taking another
look l found two Kitten 'possums
there. These l caught and killed. The
next morning found that they had
climbed into the room by means Of
grape vine"

was my first experience in politics an'
l learned just what kind of man was
and what l had done and things that
l hadn't done Among other things my
political enemies told that l was con-
stantly drunk on the streets. They
told that l was married and that my
wife had left me because Of non-sup-
port and you know that l have never
been successful in getting married. But
1 decided that it would be best not to
try to deny all those stories but to
trust to the good sense of the folks to
discredit them and l managed to come
through"
