Harris is president, and Mr. L. Guy Harris, secretary and treasurer, and which has been running since 1892, has gone into the hands of a receiver. This step was . determined upon at a recent meeting of the board of directors and a number of creditors at the law office of Nicholls & Jones. Mr. L. Guy Harris has been appointed receiver. The Fairmont mill is a well equipped plant with 6,144 spindles. The value of the plant is about $125,000 and the capital stock is $49,000. Mr. L. Guy Harris was seen by the reporter last night, and in reply to the query as to the assets and liabilities of the mill, replied that he could not furnish the figures or even an estimate %m at present.

BOSEMAN & MOORE. # May 18 s 3m Carry Off All the Honors At Monroe, N. C. Charlotte, N. C., June 5, 1901. Messrs. Riddle & Carroll, Yorkville, S. C.: Gentlemen: Yesterday, at Monroe, N. C., on the farm of Mr. Armfield, the McCormick and Deering Binders met in a friendly field trial, at the x*equest of Mr. Plyler and others, who announced ineir purpose to buy the machines that did the best work. There were present many prominent farmers of Union county, and as a great deal of interest had been worked up, a warm time was looked for. The two machines had been hauled to the field on their trucks, and the first contest was on the point of "untrucking." This was won by the McCormick, being untrucked three or four minutes quicker than the Deering. The next point was on the reel adjustment, and was won by the McCormick, it showing a forward and downward adjustment for taking up down and tangled grain of 1? feet better than the Deering. The machines were then put in the grain, short oats, the McCormick being drawn by a medium-sized pair of mules, and Deering by a pair some 300 pounds heavier. The McCormick machine went off without a hitch, and although some 3 acres in all were cut by it, it never missed a bundle. The Deering missed tieing several bundles at first, but got better later on. The McCormick team stepped along easily, while the Deering mules had to be lashed constantly by an assistant driver, who walked behind them in the stubble. This performance set the crowd in a roar of laughter. The Deering bundle carrier worked so hard that their expert had to take hold and help J the driver trip it occasionally. This made their third man working the machine. In all this time the McCormick was doing the prettiest work I ever saw, and their team had hardly raised the sweat. It was tieing tight, square butted small bundles, while the Deering bundles were loose and uneven, and often tied above the heads of the shorter grain, which scattered out and was lost. They also lost considerable of the shorter grain between the upper elevator roller and the top of the binder deck. The McCormick lost not a head in this way. To make a long story short, the work of the McCormick was so far superior to that of the Deering that there was never a doubt as to which would win, and as a result, a number of farmers bought McCormicks, while the Deering macnine was nauieu on. m uisgiatc, ?.u be offered at a "bargain sale." I say "disgrace." because no other word would suit, for the Deering people had persistenly circulated the absurd report that it would take four big mules to pull the McCormick Binder. They had preached this "heavy draft" argument so much against the McCormick, that we were compelled to show them up in their true colors. You can tell your York county farmers that they can get Deerings cheap in Monroe now. Before the contest they offered them at $15 under McCormick prices, and they will doubtless be cheaper now. The conditions of the trial were that the farmers who wanted Binders should be the judges, and they gave a unanimous verdict in favor of the McCormicks, by buying our Binders. Thus ended the famous contest. Now what of all their vain boastings that they would "wipe the earth up with the McCormick?" Who is there now to make good all of their broken promises? Promises they knew full well would be broken if the two machines ever met in the same field. They went to farmers who had given us orders for machines, and in some cases succeeded in getting them dissatisfied by the most shameful misrepresentations and fair promises to protect them in any suit they might get into by trying to get out of their obligations to us. The great majority of farmers resented this insult; yet a few were persuaded, for the sake of $15 or $20 difference in price, to sign Deering orders also, and now it turns out that the Deering Co., not only refuses to protect them, but actually deplores the fact that they had been approached at all while they were under contract to take another machine. The farmers are very much worked up over the matter, and the Deering people are laying very low at present. After the contest ycu could not find one on the streets of Monroe. I shall be in Yorkviiip tomorrow, the Gth. Yours very truly, A. J. HUFF. Sow Peas Oil Stubble Lands for Fall Cutting. We have the PEAS. We'll sell you at the right figures.
