the people seem prosperous.

cotton-picking.

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.
The Greater State Fair.
i ne state fair at Columbia this year
?October 22 to 27?"will be more edu'
caUcual Ulan ever before. This, like
