A 4 AJ M reuruary i, ijui Men will part with dollars to v cheap shows when nickels could not be extracted from their misery fists for any good work. + ^ Chesterfield county can never hope to have good roads so long as two dollars will free a man of road duty for twelve months. m We hope no wives and child ren will suffer for food or clothiug because Noxon's show was in Pageland last week and in Jefferson the week before. ^ We fear some of the folks will not be as enthusiastic about the Sunday school meeting next Sunday as they were about the show. But some others will. and the organization will be effected. Long staple cotton is no longer a favorite among the farmers. It has been demonstrated time and again that short staple brings better returns for the money and labor expended, and very few farmers will plant long staple this year. One man goes so far as to say he will law the man who walks across his field with long staple seed. The few who plant long staple seed will probably get much better prices next year for the amount grown will be limited. North Carolina has the Torrens system of registering land ^Mes.

The preacher no doubt meets with disapprovals in the statements while preaching and of course ine parues so disproving then, through respect, does not express their disapproval. This no doubt is true, but sometimes while preaching there is given to the preacher some expression of approval. Such was the case at one of our services last Sunday. So pleasing was it that we expect to thank the good brother for it when we see him again. This one was not the only one but the most hearty one. Our young friend, Bro. Hamp Terry hauled us a load of good oak wood a few days aeo and said he was beginning now to pay his obligations to the church.
