C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. Angus! 4, 1915 The farmer who sells more than hf* hlivs is tho nnn whn ic making: money. Most of them keep no books at all and con sequently can not tell whether they are making: or loosing until the crop is all sold and the debts all paid, in case they are all paid. The heaviest general rain in this section in nearly two months fell Tuesday. Local rains had fallen in many sections, while others were parched. Pa gel and was in one of the dry areas, and faces were lengthening perceptibly. It was a real pleasure to listen to the gentle patter of the southeast rain in the early hours of Tuesday. The rain continued in snowers until after noon, and . all vegetation smiled its appreW ciation, as did most of the inhabitants. m Coronei Atkinson, who has been in office more than a score of years, says he has observed that every time the liquor interests are given a blow in Chesterfield county the number of murders decreases. His term of office dates back to the time when liquor was more plentiful and he has been in position to observe the change for the better, i He says that at most of the I killings to which he has been called a bottle of liquor was in evidence. He thinks liquor has been the cause of most of the ^^^nquests which have been held citizen in SouthCan^l^^should vote for state-wide prohibition in the election to be held on the second Tuesday in September. We hazard the guess that four times as much tobacco will be grown in this section next year as was grown this year. The experiment at Guess is meeting all expectations. Mr. Gulledge is curing his third barn now, and has not proceeded far enough to give no estimate of the yield on his 8 or 9 acres.. He says th* dry weather did not hurt the tobacco half so much as it did he corn and cotton. Mr. Gul ledge will soon be marketing his tobacco and jingling his cash, while the cottontots will still be looking forward to the time when the fleecy staple will be ready for the uncertain market. We hope to give our readers some figures ere long that will convince some of them that Chesterfield county sandhills will produce tobacco. m Cotton Crop la Now Short Four Million. I Washington, Aug. 2.-jJhis year's cotton crop will he approximately 11,970,037 equivalent 500 pound bales compared with 16,134,930 bales last year. That estimate, unofficially calculated, is based on the government's [condition report, issued today, and official figures of acreage and normal yield. Whether the crop will be greater or less depends upon growing conditions from now until Dickintr fimo Rural Mail by Automobile.

A true statement concerning the two notes which Will Blunt, colored, of* Monroe, N. C., received on the morning that he arrived in Pageland to figure with Mr. Frank Walters on the three buildings which are under way of construction at this time. Now hear us, if we lie one time in this statement we feel and know that we will certainly be transgressing Cod's saerod laws Now we take this method of explaining our true reasons for doing this. Now, in the spirit in which we write this and in *he spirit in which we wrote the two notes to Blunt, we stand open to the christian world for conviction, feeling after spiritual consideration they will not condemn us. Of course, we care nothing of what the worldly people have to sav for they condemned and crucified our dear Lord while here on earth. First reason?The thought that came to us first was that by warning Blunt to stay away I would keep him from probably [ getting seriously hurt, as we had > heard some parties express themselves very favorably, on the r grounds in which we will explain in reason second, we twd | thinking within ourselves it would be a favor on Blunt's part land also on the character of our young Town. m Second reason?On the part of nthewliters was this: to patronyize a character who is being H tried in the courts of the United of almost taking the life ^^Hone of our own Race? ^Hsether he be guilty or not that is still left to the Bfedom of the courts?if he is ^Hbocent wc truly hope he will Kever suffer but only hope the Vguilty one will reap what he has sown, which they always will. ^ Third reason?On the part of uie writers was tins: we very well remember sacred history Matches us that it is v?wj)n^ H^es." Now, 'you can tbink what you please but we thought this and we stand ready at. any time to undergo any kind of feeling the witness that we never did any awful crime. We (are willing for the world to iknow why we did this. We bought of the 24 Chap., 14 and Il5, verses of Dutry. and 22, flChup., 22 and 23 verses of Prov. Chap. 31, verse, of Prov. and a lot more we could mention. i Now, to we thought, and almost knew in our minds, that these men that were having the work done were not all oppressors. Now, reasons for considering is simnlv this* tho tlirpo r?ar?;?o who are having the building done after they considered the matter had their foreman to try to get laborers from elsewhere and j even tried to get some that were jheretodo the work, and that | showed up well on theis part, and on account of affliction and brothers in church we do truly hope these few lines will be the means of greatly relieving the men that are having the building idone, also we truly hope it will J be the means of relieving great ' ly the minds of some few who 1 have tried in theis weak and I humble wav to find out the , writers. | Now we feel assured after a careful consideration by all and i tspecially if it is considered in he same spiritual way these two notes were written and this ex L>iai>aiiuii vvaa wiuit'ii mere will be no more talk. Now we feel honest in every thing we have done. Let us tell you all there were a good many voices but only two writers. H. B. S K. F. S.
