Spartanburg Journal.
Exactly wrong. The best usage, *
standard authority, analogy, ?le- *v
rivation, common sense and eu 8

the principal accent, on the third c

Our Chester contemporary is
right. As the Columbia Record
said the other dav, the accent
is on the penult. Bro. Bigham
may not know what <la peach of

good English when he sees it,
and, moreover, he knows how to
use it. In our humble judgment,
he ranks along with E lit or Wal

graphic account given in his
paper of his visit to the regions

around and shown the "sights"
by "Old Nick" himself, Col.
Watterson says :
Then he led Irs wondering '

. LANCASTER AS A COTTON /WAR- i
KET
Lancaster makes a good start
as a cotton market this vear anri i
I we confidently hope that the pace
will be kept up throughout the
season?indefinitely, in fact.
! Our buyers are keen for the sta1
pie and tfipy are keeping well up
< j with the highest prices paid else
where. This is as it should be. i
f A good cotton maraet means
, good trade lor the merchants,
j and a good trade means a tub
stantial uplilt f>r all classes.?
More money is put in circulation!
, and everybody stands a chance to j
' get hold of some of it. Even the;
1 poor printer may occasionally be!
I heard proudly jingling a few j
dimes in his pocket.
Lancaster lias not been getting i
' her share ol the cotton raised in ,
the county, owing, most likely,
more to the proximity ol some
- sellers to other markets and to
, the condition of the public roads
* ! than to ?nv ritli.-r cinun nr nniiuuu
5 These conditions can be largely [
I overcome bv making this the best
cotton market in this part of the:
: country. The man with cotton;
to sell will naturally haul it to
i ; the point where he can gel the
> i most for it, it the roads are at all
i I passable and even though lie may j
, have a market nearer his home.
And whero he sells his cotton he
. will do his trading.
During the past season?11)06-'

esent half the cotton raised in
he county during those two '
ears?hence our reason for
tating that Lancaster has not '
>een getting her share ot the
sotton trade However, from
low on, by pacing tbe best prices
or the 8taj)le permissible,by our
nerchants continuing to give the
exceptional bargains in their
wares for which they have a
well-merited reputation, and by
jontinuing the work already be1*1111
of improving our country
highways, there is no reason why
Lancaster shouldn't soon double
her volume of business and expand
as never before alon * all

Mr. K. J. Mangum, one of
Flat Creek's successful farmers,
is experimenting this year with
the heavy fertilization p an. lie
has an acre of King cotton v\ hi?.-li
lie manured with 1000 lbs of
the Kershaw Oil Mill's 8-8-3
goods and 100 lbs ot nitrate of
soda. He has already picked
058 poundsofcottonoff the patch
and he will get at least a bale
altoget her.
Mr. Mangum aho lias of an
acre planted in Ion* staple cotton
which promises to yield a
hale, although he applied no
commercial fertilizer, to it at all,
u-ing only stable an 1 hen-house
manure.
Mr. Mangmn lias used more
fertilizer this year than ever hefore,
averaging about 600 pounds
to the acre on his cotton lands,
and he is well pleased with re.
suits. His corn crop is also
fine He has corn that will
make 60 bushel to the acre.
