Comparison of Values.
Pleasant Lano farmer sold
bales of cotton last week for I
|, while last year about this time
bale and the seed from the bale
lght him $98. That gives a
Lr cut idea of the "shrinkage"
kotlon values. A year hence two
fes may not command mere than
Better-lay next years' plans j
that basis.

Use Every Precaution.
Fires are generally more numer
ls at this season than any other
[me of the year. Fast, because a
reater number of chimneys or fire
laces are used than at any other
?ason, and, second, because dry
?aves, which are easily ignited, col
let in the valleys, on piazzas and
|ther places over the roof. By ex
ercising a little precaution a heavy
)ss by fire may be averted.
Will Leave Edgefield.
Capt. 0. P. Bright has been pro
loted and will leave Edgefield to
lake his home in Columbia. He
ias been assigned to the regular
?assenger train that now runs be
tween Columbia and Savannah. It
ias not yet been announced who
rill be 8<mt to Edgefield. The de
nture of Capt. and Mrs. Bright
From among us will be deeply and
rery generally regretted. The South
jrn has never had a conductor on
luty here who was more popular
Ithan Capt. Bright.
School Warrants Unpaid.
Considerable dissatisfaction ex
lists among the holders of school
?checks that were issued during the
session of 1910-11, for the reason
?that there are no funds available
(for the payment of these claims.
! The county treasurer can not pay
them as heretofore because the
school funds now being collected
for 1911, or as much as be necessa
ry, are pledged to the State Sinking
Fund Commission to pay the #18,
000 borrowed last spring to put the
schools on a cash basis. The out
standing claims for the session of
1910-11 aggregate something like'
$12,000, and, it appears now, will
not be paid until prevision ia, made
by the legislature.

How They Do in South Georgia.
The following is an extract from
a personal letter received by the
editor from Mr. R. W. Timmons,
who for the past three years has re
sided in Ashburn, Ga.
"We like south Georgia. This is
a fine farmipg section. Hardly any
farmer makes less than a bale of
cotton to the acre and many make
two bales. This is also a hog and
corn country, many farmers owning
as manyas50or 75 hogs. TheypLint
large fields in peanuts and turn the
hogs on them to fatten."
How many Edgefield county far
mers own 50 or 75 hogs? We dare
say they can be counted on ore's
fingers.
Our furniture stock is full in
e\ ery department. Suits in oak and
mahogany, from the cheapest to the
best.
