The town authorities might do worse than to direct the Southern Railway Company to till the well which the company sank in Fort Mill last year in the hope of securing water for tiie tank iiv, this place. Only last week a little boy fell into the well, which is about 15 feet deep, and came near being drowned before lie could be gotten out. Mr. .1. K.

Kditor Times: I notice (hut (piste n yood deal of Kin,t* cotton is Ileitis planted throughout the county. I would strongly ur<i;e the planters of this county to discontinue same, from the fact that it is such a poor staple that mills can not use it. If they continue the plantiny of such cotton, they will force this mill and other mills tributary to Fort .Mill that have been usiny Fort Mill cotton to yet | their cotton from Alabama and M; . ^HiaMhM ['III* l*Vt"U II (II II CUSI Ol I . t*111 per p?uiml more. In this way they will lone the benelit of a ",'(mi(1 home market. 1 would say for your information that if the farmers will take the trouble to inquire, they will learn that quite a number of mills in the Piedmont section have been forced already to get their supply of cotton from Alabama and Mississippi. on account of the very p tor staple in a great many sections. from the fact of planting King cotton, whose staple is very 'short and weal: and can not be used iu our mills here. This request is made purely and simply in the interest of the farmer-and mills in this section, who have a common interest in raising such cotton as will suit home consumption, which means a great deal to both parties. It will be an easy matter to exchange the King seed with youi j neighbors who have other varieties. If you can not obtain enough to plant, your entire crop ims year, by keeping them separate, you will have a suilicicnt quantity for next year's crop. I;1:K0V SlMllNCiS, (Jen'l IMirr. Ft. Mill Mf?.

Wo have a number of "crack" farmers in thisseetioiiof the township. Some of them say they are t^oino to make four bales of eotton to the aero, while one claims that ' he will boat that, by making even more. I also heard another sjood farmer say that he did not claim to have a premium cotton patch. hut llntl lie expected to raise 100 bushels of sweet potatoes to every hale of eotton that 1 he others maUe to the acre. I will not j^ive the names of these farmers, because they are considered tlirutliful, ami their hopes and and anticipations inii^ht miscarry. -Mr. S. (\ Faris has about all of his "nscdtohe" I I-cent cotton of last year. 1 do not know what lie intends to do about it: his time for selling cotton this year has expired. I reckon he will await the arrival of his regular tiine for selllino next February, and then dispose of two crops atVnee. There are also others in this neighbor hood who haw not Hold their last year's cotton, hut unlike .Mr. Fat is, they do not have a regularly ^appointed time to sell. Mr. S. II. Kpps finished ^inuini; his last crop only a few days aj;o. Our school (lold Mill Academy is ^ettine alon^j nicely these days, and there is considerable preparation beino made for the closing exercises, on the 2'itli instaid.
