The orange crop of Florida is unusually large this year. It is probable that the shipments will surpass those of last year by half million boxes. What are you going to do about winter wood? The price of pine is $3.00 per cord, with the supply limited. About the only satisfactory solution of the fuel problem is to put in grates and coal stoves. The case of J. W. Elms vs. the Southern Power Co., which was called in .the Lancaster court Monday, was continued, owing to the absence of an important witness. The State fair at Columbia opens next Monday and will close Saturday, the 28th. M?r?v from this county will doubtless take advantage of the low rates and help swell the crowd at the fair. Notwithstanding the fact that the cotton, corn forage crops in this county have been seriously damaged by the rainy spells and the fanners are blue over the situation, business conditions are good and there is still plenty of money in the city and county and the people seem prosperous. The season of nersimmon and and locust beer has begun and the sweetest labor the country boy for the next few weeks will be that involved in collecting bags of locusts and buckets and tubs of persimmons with which to make the beverage. On account of illness Miss Minnie Garrison has been absent from her duties as teacher in the fraded school for the past ten ays and Miss Mary O'Connell has filled the position. Miss Garrison is now being treated at the Pryor Sanitarium in Chester. Her friends hope that she will soon recover and resume her school work here. Managers of cotton seed oil mills say that very little oil is found in new cotton xppd this season. The oil mills that j have been using: this year's seed in the manufacture of oil, declare that the seed is of poor quality. Rev. W. L. Lingle, of Rock Hill, delivered a very interesting talk to the members of the Home and Foreign Missionary Societies at the regular monthly meeting of the latter Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. J. M. Spratt, in Sprattville. The farmers of the county have been taking advantage of the recent clear weather by working early and late to get their cotton picked and other crops harvested and indoors. Labor is at a premium in the county and in every district the older children have been taken out of school temporarily to assist in cotton-picking. H. W. Stewart, white, who up to some weeks ago was a resident of Fort Mill, was on Monday bound over to court by Magistrate Beckham, of Rock Hill, upon the charge of having stolen a horse from the barn of C. C. C. Belk, of this township some time ago. Stewart's bond was placed at $500 and being unable to give same he was committed to jail to await trial at the November term of court. I 1^1 W The Cost of a "Still." I A citizen of the King's Creek I neighborhood, who was in York ville recently took occasion to I make some remarks to an EnII quirer reporter on the subject of I the recent interview that was I published in that paper about I moonshining in York and Chero| kee counties. "I would rather j you would not use my name, un! less you specially want to"' he 1 said, "but I want to tell you that j if anybody thinks it takes any j big money to make such a still as is being used by the moonshiners of our section, he is badly mistaken. I doubt exceedingly whether there is a still in York or Cherokee that stands its owners more than $10. "The material consists of about $6.00 worth of copper and a few pieces of wood. The fermenting stands cost about $1 each, and the whole outfit may be made by a ten-year-old boy in a few hours. "I can't see where it would be necessary for one man to "stake" another in the business, and I don't believe anything of the kind is being done. At least I never heard of it before. But, I'll tell you, whoever told you about the stills doing business all right and the moonshiners being able to take care of themselves is not far wrong. And they don't work after night, either. Cotton Used at Home. The census bureau has issued a bulletin showing that during the year ending August 31, 4,784,274 bales of cotton were taken in the United States for consumption, that 4,871,168 bales were consumed and that 675,987 bales were still held by manufacturers at that date. Of the consumption 2,370,038 bales were used in the cotton growing states and 2,501,130 in the other states. The statistics of cotton taken and consumed are for all establishments using raw cotton, including cotton mills, woolen mills, hosiery, knit goods establishments, those engaged in the manufacture of mattresses and the like. The totals include foreign cotton amounting to 9,887 bales taken and 10,100 consumed by manufacturers in the cotton growing states, and 94,722 bales taken and 94,120 consumed by manufacturers in other states.
