Delmar Lodge, IO O F, is getting members for its third club since it was organized last summer. Last Saturday was the date for tbe cotton growers to organize their local clubs. This matter fcas not been officially brought before the farmers of this section. If this matter was brought before the farmers and exnlained there could ba some good results accomplished. But one fault that we see is that the farmers are only thinking of getting a good price for the cotton that they are holding and are not looking to the future. We find that many of the small farmers are not willing to reduce their acreage, but say that the men that plants large crops are the farmers that should reduce the acreage The farmers may not expect much good results from reducing the cotton acreage until they learn to depend on some other crop than cotton for their money crop. Feb. 20, 1905. Lloyd. Dots Along the Sandy Boad. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Mr. J. E Dunbar made such large cotton that he had to purchase a stalk cutter. The child of Mr. J. D. Shumpert that was accidentally burned recently is some better. Mr. L. L Gantt has a smile on bis face from ear to ear because it is a girl. Everybody is preparing to plant. They will raise plenty of seven cents cotton but mighty little corn. If the weather don't change the mail carriers will miss the nice fruits this summer. A juicy peach goes very nice on these long dry roads. Merritt's bridge over North Edisto river between Aiken and Lexington counties needs the attention of the County Commissioners.
