M. Hughes, one of Lancaster's leading merchants, spent Thursday in Fort Mill. In speaking of the crops in his section, Mr. Hughes said the prospect was indeed gloomy; that the farmers were badly "in the grass" and would make nothing like a fair crop. The farmers of this section, Mr. Hughes added, are in much better shape than the farmers of Lancaster. For the first time this season, the market was flooded Saturday with home-raised watermelons, and on svery side could be seen men and women bartering with the farmers who had come from their country homes, bringing with them wagons loaded with with peaches, apples, watermelons and cantaloupes. The cantaloupes sold rapidly, and practically all the watermelons were disposed of, though they became a drug on the market as a usual thing much quicker that cantaloupes, which are a more deli cate truit.
