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.

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

CHURCH NOTES
BAPTIST, J. M.Sullivan. Pastor.
"The Lord have done greal
things for us, whereof we are
glad."
Last Sunday was a great and
good day at White Plains.
Targe crowd 10 witness the
baptismal service at the pond at
10 a. m. We desire to say that
this was the best and most atten
tive gathering we have ever
seen at a service of this kind.
We thrnk you for being to
thoughful. We received 18 for
baptism and 2 by letter. We
praise God for it all. Pro. Jones
did his best work and the church
was ready to cooperate with
pastor and helper, and where
this is the case it is useless to
say that you will always have a
good meeting.
We are in a good meeting at
Liberty Hill this week. Bro.
Jones is doing the preaching "in
this meeting. Pray for us that
God may graciously bless us at
Liberty Hill this week.
Next Sunday we will be at
Pageland, 11 a. m. 8:30 p. m.
Come with us vou are welcome.
We will try to see some of
our sick friends just as soon as
we get through with the rush in
meetings.

To The World.
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.
