And the announcement brings gladness not only to the hearts o f the children but to the grownups as well, for the fascination of the big tents, the rings covered with sawdust, the tumbling clowns and the hair raising "stunts" of the up-to-date thrillers, not to mention the proverbial pink lemonade and peanuts, never entirely loses its effect on us even though "taking the children" is used for an excuse. The greatest problem that confronts our people at the present date is that of dogs. In the language of our forefathers, there are dogs, more dogs and lots of dogs; in fact a stranger visiting our village and un-acquainted with the color of our population, would declare without hesitation, that he had got ofF at an Indian village, where there are alwavs ten dogs to mm?*. i._ i? t v ti ,y liiuuui. vv nai id IU Ut; done to rid our village of dogs, is something that council should busy itself with.

The Wymojo, have not decided on a site for the location of the mill as yet. Several of the gentlemen interested have visited several sites in the city but nothing definite will be given out for publication. It is hoped by all of Rock Hill that i the new mill will be located here. I There are several beautiful sites in and near the city that would make ideal places for the locai tion of the mill.

Barber, oi Rock Hill, the veteran cottor planter, who has made severa , hundred hales of cotton per yeai for many years past, had the following interview in the Roc! Hill Herald last week: "I suppose it is no use to tel! some of you farmers not to give 1 your cotton away just because speculators are putting it dowr to make you do it. Youcansel for 111-2, 10, 9 or 5 cents, but they will not get mine. Thai same crowd putting it down now tried to get mine from 9 to 1( cents last year, hut they didn't do it. I "When I said on the start lasl , year when cotton was under 1( I cents they wouldn't get a bah | of mine under 12 1-2 cents some ! laughed, hut they didn't get il i but paid clcse to 14 cents. Give it away if you want to?wort ; for nothing, if you want to, bui J .4- -4- - wiiau uu want to give your cotton away for? "If cotton was 7 cents now when the farmers are bringing it in the speculators would try U | put it to 5 and lots of farmer: 'would sell cloth 40 cents pei pound and cotton 111-2 cents pei pound and still the farmers wil give their cotton away. What i: the use of having a Farmer': ' union and Southern Cotton as i sociation if you are not going t< ; pay any attention to what th< leaders tell you? They say li cents. It is worth 15 cents am 1 if you give vours away it is youi J own fault." ? Mr. J. J.
