We don't give a rap how many men run for office. The more the merrier, so long as the three bucks come promptly. We would hate to have to ill tll-.it lint nir -llmnl "linonlifiil Chesterfield" we see in the Advertiser. The announcements are coming right rapidly now, but there were not enough for us to make the trip to Chick Springs this week to be with the other fellows. Mr. W. J. Tiller, the demonstration agent for this county, has been in rather poor health this spring and has had much sickness in his family. As a result be has heed unable todol as much work among the farm ! ers as he would have done under more favorable circumstance. lie draws his pay for the time he nctullv devotes to the work and not for the time he is sick or kept at home by sickness in his family. This is July Nth and the people are beginning, as usual, to mink about laying l>y the crops. The agricultural writers and those who have tried it tell us thol it is nr? lint . to rjujt 'lio crops- They say that August 1st is early enough to quit, but that it is best to cultivate very shallow. It is probably better to quit a little early than to plow up and destroy ail the feed roots on the corn and cotton. So then we suppose that the advice they would give would he to cultivate long, often and shallow. A KF.POKT OF Till-: CONDITION OF The Bank ot Pageland.

Set about creating a soul-winning atmosphere. It is just as necessary to have the right kind of spiritual atmosphere as it is to have the right kind of atmosphere to breath, which we all know is so vital to our physical well-being. We must pray to God and bring down His presence and power. No church can be a soul-winning church unless at least a portion of it has power with God. We must have love for souls. If we do not love men's souls, no matter how much our words may indicate such love, we can not reach them. We must have love, "haith, hope, love." Our appointment for next Sunday, Pageland at 4:30 p. m. Baptist J. M. Sullivan. Pastor. It was a great joy to be with our people again after being kept out of our work for over two weeks. Good congregation at White Plains last Sunday morning and we enjoved the effort of trying to preach. Some of those who heard had the courage to say that they enjoyed the discourse very much. We regret very much that it was impossible for us to be with these good folks Saturday afternoon; we have the confidence in these people to believe they under the circumstances excuse us. Regret also to miss the Center Grove appointment in the afternoon. Some have said that I)r. Langston preached a fine ser mon Sunday morning and we are glad to know that they appreciated his work. Truly hope it will not he many more days before we can get out and see our people in their homes. If you need our service we will try to do your bidding as best we can under the circumstance. 'It is with pleasure that we are to have with us on next Sunday morning at Pageland Bro. B. C. Asiicrult, ol Monroe, N. C., to lecture to us on some religious topic of the day. We are glad to have this good layman from our sister association come over and help us in the Lord's work. lirethern let us begin now praying for a great spiritual awakening in our town and community, that christians may be made stronger in the faith, backsliders healed, indifferences removed, fellowship restored, vpul the unsaved brought into /lie Kingdom. Next Sunday, Pageland 11 a. in., 8:30 p. m. Revival services conducted by Rev. J. L. McManaway, Home Hoard Lvangelist, will begin fifth Sunday in August. Nearly 37 Million Acres In Cotton Washington, July 1.?A total area of 3(>,%0,000 acres of cotton is in cultivation in the United States, according to the preliminary /?f ll"> i J */ 111 V \1V |'?ll IIIIUII I | of agriculture announced today. This compares with 37,458,000 acres, the revised estimate of acreage in cultivation a year ago, 37,080,0? ><> acres picked last year, 31,283,000 in 1012 and 36,045,000 acres in 1011. The condition of the growing crop on June 25 was 70.6 per cent of a normal, as compared with 74.3 per cent on May 25, this year, 81.8 per con;., on June 25 last year, and 80.7 per cent the ten-year average on June 25. 1 lie month began with one of the severest droughts ever known in the eastern portions of the cotton helt. It greatly retarded growth of early planted cotton and delayed the germination of late planted. In the western portions of the helt the firsti week of the month was excess ively wet. This prevented anfl improvement in the plants ana made cultivation and planting difficult. j Better conditions prevailfl during the second week, > flH plant making good progress vy the eastern and central tions of the belt, while the wfl tern portion had the most favo?| able weather for several weeks. During the third week local showers in the central and eastern portions of the belt greatl# improved the outlook and earl4 planted cotton generally wal reported in good condition biJ latt'T nlnnt(>(l wire hnrkwnnl nnd needed rain. Highly favorabl^ weather continued in the western part of ihe belt. The final week of the month was reported as the most favorable thus far this season, good rains having fallen over much of the central and eastern portions and the plant having made excellent growth. Over the western portions warmth, occasional showers, permitted rapid growth and the outlook greatly improved. Holl weevil were reported as numerous in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. ***** ******** x | Things Yoi We have full line? * which are seasonable Jfc have: Fruit Jars, Fruit & and Caps, Ice TeaGla Jfr Sherbet Bowls, Dessd iI of gf assware, also pre! * num and enamelwan!
