'f REPORT ON COTTON. |; I' To Secure Quickly Accurate Statistics , of the Cotton Crop. | Mr. Albert R. Moseley, of Salters . i Depot, has been appointed a local ' special agent of the Census office to collect cotton-ginning statistics for this county, and we join the Govern- 1 ment in urging the ginners to give : Mr. Moseley their hearty support i ind co-orperation, thus enabling < him to make prompt and accurate re- < turns. We would impress upon the l pinners the fact that this agent is a j sworn officer of the Government, and < that their reports are forwarded as < sriven to hini directly to the Census 1 Office, at Washington, without pass- I ing through the hands of any mid- < ilemen. The information given is i held as strictly confidential, and the i iperations^of individual ginners are not divulged. Upon the joint co ] operation of the cotton growers, gin- 5 tiers, and local agents must depend j the success of the Census Office in ( this inquiry, and its ability to render this great service to the Southern people and and to all interested in the cotton staple. * The Census Office has demousti at- 1 ?d in three annual reports, the fact c that the ginners are the only reliable 1 source of information as to the volame of the annual cotton crop. This ss very complimentary to the ginners t vlio, no doubt, will feel a pride in j sustaining the reputation earned. t A Knightly Deed 1 1 Last Sunday afternoon while out c Iriving on Main street with her lit- c :le daughter, Ada, Mrs. W.

In an in- ^ taut he ran across the street and ;atching hold of the ring of the bit t iucceeded ifi stopping the animal as 1 t turned the corner towards Dr. Broekington's.

Mrs M H C'aiitley died very suddenly last Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock at her home near Central church on Black river. She had been sick for a few days but no danger was. apprehended. As she was sitting up Sunday talking to her father, who was visiting the family in the afternoon, she complained of feeling bad and retired, and a very short while afterwards, sudderily and without warning she breathed her last. Mrs Caiitley was the oldest daughter of Mr John G Pipkin of Blooiningvale and was still in her twenties. She had been married about five years and leaves a devoted young husband and two small children. As a girl the writer knew her well. She was of an affectionate and amiable disposition and gave promise of traits of character that would crystallize into noble womanhood. Even at that age she was a zealous and consistent member of the church. This is not said in idle compliment but as a just tribute on one who fully deserved much more than can be expressed at this time. The funeral services took place at Bloomingvale Baptist church at 4 o'clock Sloudav afternoon, Rev S T Russell officiating. To the bereaved husband and parents we offer our sincere condo' iV J ?1- I lence in meir aars nour cu Lnuuitttion. NOTICE. The members of Co. 6th Regiment S. C.
