Former Governor R. I. Mnaning, president of' the American Products Export and1 Import Corporation, today gave out the following statement on the cotton1 situation by Mr. T. B. Stack house. "One of the very largest cotton i .dealers in the South both for export | aua uuuicbuc consumpuon inaoe tnei following statement a few days ago: Ji If as much as four millions of bales i of cotton from the 19 21 crop, plus the leakage from previous crops, is i sold by producers during the months ? of September, October and November 11 middling cotton will sell at ten ct .a ! or lower before December 1, andjl that, in his opinion, every possible 1 agency should be employed to insure ' a slow and orderly marketing of i cotton until conditions become more'i normal. i "Others engaged in the cotton busi-.i ness and familiar with existing con-]1 ditions of both the domestic and for-j1 eign demand for cotton, concur in ? the opinion of this large dealer. The': Federal Reserve Banks at Richmond, Va.,'Atlanta, Ga., Dallas, Texas, St.1] , Louis and Kansas City, have recently ' sent out letters to member banks ad- ' i vising that said banks will go us'i far as the law permits in aiding the I South to market the 19 21 crop and 1 the carry over from previous years ' in an orderly manner. These banks': have vracticallv put cotton on the i same basis a? they have heretofore't put United States bonds, in that they 1 will handle for non-member banks 1 through member hnnk? unto, i >tu WO OCC VI I CU I * by the 1921 cotton crop. Notes of j? member banks secured by 1920 and; 1921 cotton are eligible for redis-|< counts at said reserve banks. !i "In addition to this action on the t part of the reserve banks, the War 1 Finance Corporation is empowered j under a bill recently passed by the. United States, to lend as much as onej billion dollars on cotton to individuals ( fii nig or corporations and the feeling in Washington is that the Houce will11 also pass the bill and there seems to( be no question of its approval by thejt President. i * "The Government, through the re-1 serve banks and the War Finance1 Corporation, has made every provision that any reasonable man can expect ^ \ to aid the South in orderly marketing j Of t.hp Pnflnn nniiT V. ?? ?>-- " ( ? .? uun ucm in ine soum . and securing a fair price for same. | Domestic mills are buying and will1 probably continue to buy cotton spar- j ingly and only as needed. Foreign , mills are buying the same way, and'j under such conditions cotton merchants buying cotton can protect'^ themselves only by seeing futures which depress the price. If the 1921 erop is rushed on the market to-. gather with the leakage from previ-' oiis crops, seven to ten cents cotton ? seems certain, while, if all cotton is marketed slowly, or as the spinning A world is forced to have it, fifteen to ' twenty cents seems equally certain.

Crawford, jeweler, of i Cheraw, who has recently built u i modern California bungalow about i two miles from Cheraw, is launching i an industry in our midst which we trust will blaze the way for our far- < tilers in the poultry business. Mr. i Crawford has secured the services of L. W.

Mr. Wertheini will conie to ? Cheraw in September and will build i and inanuge a poultry r!H?eh at Mr. Crawford's home about two miles 1 from Cheraw. The ranch will be stock- < ed with 3,000 white Leghorn chick- i ens of the very best strain obtainable J f and the equipment for housing and,* breeding is to be the latest and bestj' models now used. For instance, the t laying houses have electric lights in- 1 stalled equipped with switches that. < will automatically turn on the lights * at 3 o'clock in the mornfng, thus giv- ' inig the hens a 15-hour work day. Mr. Crawford plans to sell non-fer-j tile eggs for table use, hatching eggs; by the setting", day old chicks and! broilers. He figures he will market I between 25.000 and 30,000 broilers a 1 year. | * Mr. Wertheim, who wa? in Cheraw; a few days ago closing final arrange-p lr.ents, said that the climate here was. ideal for the project and he was de-i* lighted with the prospect of making M Cheraw his future home. The ranch' will cover about 20 acres and will be'* muring completion by October 15. This will make two poultry busi-p nesses of note for Cheraw.

' t o S|?ends Week in Boll Weevil Section* i Hev. J. A. Langley, pastor of the t Little Rock Baptist church, has returned from Ulmer in Allendale coun- ? ty where he held a protracted meet-js ing. Allendale is in the centre of the t boll weevil section and what Mr. i Langley has to say about this section and the weevil is interesting: 1 "In no place," said Mr. Langley, i "did I find the farmers complaining. Although this is their third year with sthe weevil they will make about 50 J per cent of a crop. Some farnieis will make almost a normal crop. This is, f however where thev went Inln iH ? . fields when the crop was young and picked the first weevils off the bios- ( scms. The first crop of weevils is the 1 mqst dangerous crop. They lay the eggs that later on produce millions of T small weevils. The small weevil, or rather the weevil in the growing stage c: is the one that does the damage. He t has a good appetite and it does not r take him long to eat up the blossoms on a cotton stalk. 1 drove around the l country and saw many fields of cotton v that promised a good yield. In every instance, however. I was told that the r first crop of weevils had been destroy- j ed by picking them off the blossoms, c Rapid cultivation is another way of getting ahead of the weevil. One far- t iner who did not use any fertiliser 1 will lose his entire crop. The crop t grew slowly and the weevils destroyed F the blossoms as fast as they matured.; Although this is the third year of the weevil in that section the people: seemed to be getting on fairly well, if They do not owe much money and have plenty to eat. As the weevil does i the most damage the third year I t suppose I saw conditions at their worst and there should be a gradual c improvement front now on." y v o C Eighty Years Ago and Today. I It has been ascertained by the s United States Department of Agricul-j1; ture that in a region where eighty, years ago, the labor of a man for one'd day of ten hours produced forty-five * pounds of cotton in the seed as an ? average for a season's work, he now produces one hund> >d and twenty- a seven pounds of cotton in the seed, I or nearly three times as much, per 3 average day of work, the result of Improved agricultural practice. 1 u - Flow of the Gulf Stream.

One of the most delightful and) romantic spots in the mountains of western North Carolina, "the Land < of the Sky," is the Chimney Itocky region at the foot of Old Raid of earth- I quake fame, that created such a sen- < sation some 25 years ago by its sliak- 1 ing and quivering, the convulsions tearing great rocks from its sides and < forming a cave in the solid granite, t For severarl years 1 have spent my i summer vacaton there. il Some years ago 1 was touring t ?hi.nu..k tL..?

Col Er-'t win told our driver to halt an<T gave 1 a "Halloa!" On an old man appear- > ing at the door Erwin said. "Come t out here. Hanks!" There leisurely came to the hack * a very tall, rugged featured typical i mountaineer, barefooted and in his 1 shirt sleeves, apparently 7 5 or 80 years old, but erect and in perfect < condition. His face and everj fea- I lure were familiar to ine, but 1 could < not call to mind where 1 had seen him. "Ever seen hint before?" asked Col. Edwin. 1 I replied that 1 sure had and his face was as familiar as pig tracks < "I never seed you be fore that 1 ran call to mind, stranger," replied : the old fellow, as he leaned against the hack and took a good look at nte. "and 'taint likely I'd forget ez homely a face as your'11," he added with a good natured grin"May have seen you in Spartanburg." I suggested. "Never wuz thar in my life ?always stay right aroun' here. 1 once went to Asheville, but that wuz *er long time ergo," he replied. "Ever seen Abraham Lincoln?" asked Col. Erwin. I replied that I had not but had seen his pictures, "and," 1 continued. 1 "that old rooster there is the express i image of Lincoln's picture." "I never seed Abe Lincoln, either." replied Hanks. "Me and him are 1 sorter kin. My grandmother and 1 Nancy, his ma, wur sisters. They tell J me Lincoln got ter be a big man " I turned to Col. Erwin and asked J him where did he get that stuff he ' was trying to feed mt* on. 3 The colonel assured me that there ' was no joke, and the old mountaineer f before us was undeniably a great > first cousin to Abraham Lincoln, and the resemblance, between tlie two men was so marked as to be noticed at a glance. He then went on to ex- ' l?lain that Nancy Hanks, the mother ti of Abraham Lincoln, was horn and ' raised to young womanhood in Ruth- -s L'tford county, North Carolina, when Iter family sent her to some relatives s in Kentucky, where she met and c married Lincoln 3 "I hear'n my grandmother say ivhen on her death bed." put in ' Hanks, "that the only thing she had 1 lo regret wuz making her pap drive iter sister Nancy off." Col. Edwin then gave some inter- 1 'Stillg information ahnm V'onov n Hanks, the mother of Abraham Lin- _ mill. She was born in Rutherford , cunty. North Carolina, so this state y an claim a half interest in President , Lincoln. The Hanks were ver> poor v ieople, but respected for their hon- tj sty and worth. The history cf this family is known v to all the residents of Rutherford j, ounty, being handed down from A 'ather to son. The spot where the J tionie of the' parents of Nancy stood , s pointed out. and her kinspeople ,. ire scattered all over that section. They are plain mountaineers, 100 per , ?rnt. American. Nancy was a fine sample of a (-i tealthy mountain lass, large in size f ind remarkably good looking. In t 'act, she was represented'as the t inndsomest young woman in the w Chimney Rock section. The Hanks a A'ere poor but ambitious, and they s rave Nancy'a good rural school edu-' atirn. She fitted herself to teach'|(> he three months' school then found a hroughout the mountain settlements.! r ind was offered and accepted a'?, ichool in Macon county. North Car- a ilina, not far from her home. jr. Mr. W. R. Dillingham of Spartan-,^ >urg tells me that his grandmother h ived in Macon county at the time tl s'ancy Hanks came there to teach I< ichool and knew her well. She said 1< lint Nancy was one of the finest lookng girls she ever saw, was the*pie- b tire of health, and well educated for a hose times. She was given a three c> nomns' school ami hoarded with a si amily named Enalow, who were well'ci o do and ranked hiph in the county It! Ftut the head of the family had a had <1 noral reputation and his wife was h ,*ery jealous of his attention to other S vomen. The attentions shown by. "r.slow to Nancy Hanks became the t' alk of the settlement, and she pave h ip the school and returned to her t< 'amily in Rutherford county. The s caudal followed her there, and her ft amily beinp a sensitive and hlph fi spirited people. Nancy was sent to tome of her relatives in Kentucky, l> vhere she met and married Lincoln, e !Ter heinp sent away was also due to tl he fact that she had several unmar- tl led sisters and who 'hoped by this a ttep to put an end to possip.

I spent some time tracing the loal history of the Lincoln family, ekul Iso read a number of books on Abahani 'Lincoln. Ilut except this old randal, and which was resurr?cted fter Lincoln became famous, I can ot find u thing to substantiate it. >n the other hand the life of Abranm Lincoln states that he waK born liree years after Nancy moved from Lutherford county to Kentucky, and er marriage to Lincoln.
