I The low price of cotton, the re: daction of the acreage and the use of fertilisers for this year's cotton crop is the almost absorbing topic of conversation these days. Commercial fertilizers are not being marketed this year in the 1 city as it was last year. The low price of cotton is no doubt the cause. Dr. H. F. Alexander contemplates taking a post graduate course in medicine durine the coming spring. Lie will probably attend the University <>f Penn. at Philadelphia. The Doctor has built up a substantial practice since his return to our misdst, says the Elizabethan (Tenn.) Mountaineer. The executive committee of the Cotton Growers' Protective Association of the South has fixed the llilt.istinn /no fnr momKai-- l.i? ~ ' 25 cents. At first it was decided to assess a tax of 50 cents on every member that joined, but after due consideration it was thought best to charge only half of this amount. The free delivery on the rural routes lending out of Fort Mill was not affected to any great extent. by the eleet and cold. During the severe weather, when the temperature was several degrees below the freezing point and sleet and snow was falling, accompanied by a bitter northeast wind, the carriers on the rural routes made their trips daily. Contractors and carpenters have done little work during the last few weeks, the weather being too cold and disagreeable, for building work, but just as soon as the weather moderates they will get bpsy, for it is expected that there will be a great deal of building in and around town this spring aod summer. We have noticed most of the stock from the country that is driven or rode in town is in good condition and we seldom see a poor hcrse or mule. This speaks well for our farmers, for the rare and condition of stock and cattle is a good index to the character and pipsperity ot the owner. The wanton neglect of cotton after it ia ginned is simply astonishing. There has never been n reason why every bale of cotton should not be housed and protected from rain, enow and wind. Especially daring February should cotton be protected, for it is sure to "blue" if it is not well covered, and then tho buyer will take advantage of that condition ?and no one can blame him. PegxLeg Grahem Peg-Leg Graham was in town yesterday, cheerful as usual. "My wife is mighty proud ot this here prohibition," he laughed "When the booze was here she didn't know when I would get home. Hut now the booze is at home, and she knows I'll lose no time away from there."?Charlotte Observer. McCue's Children Get All. The will of ?T.

Items From the "Fork,"' A number of friends were delightfu'ly entertained Thursday at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nims. Mr. Nims is a scientific and prosperous farmer who has for several years reduced his cotton acreage. Every farmer should look to his laurels by doing likewise.
