Odell is considering the sale of his house and farm here to a real estate man from North Carolina, taking as part payment 600 acres of land at Myrtle Beach. Mr. Odell will continue to reside here conducting a garage and other business. It's said on the street that the prospective purchaser is a capitalist and will build another cotton mill here. The cotton pic-king: m this community is about over, and only 350 bales have been ginned. The average amount prepared for market here is 2,000 bales. I believe there's only one other gin this year in this township, that of W. C. Scoit. So far he has turned out only 50 bales. These figures show an appalling shortage of the "Southern snow."
