Local sportsmen are begin- | ning to get out their old, briartorn, grass stained corduroys, still flecked with last year's feathers, and to potter lovingly over their trusty shot-guns in the long evenings; for the open season begins on the 15th and , the shambling brown stubble- ! fields are calling. 1 Sunrise of the 15th will open the bars?such as they are in careless Carolina -and thereafter the plump Bob White must; shift for himself among the j cracking 12-bores. It's a good year for birds, say the hunters, i meaning precisely the opposite thing; rather it's a mighty bad year for birds, if one is to judge , by the number of dogs now in ! training.

While cotton mills are mak- # j ing very little money at present prices of cloth and K yarns, still they are able to be running on full time and everything seems to be much brighter than it has been for twelve months past.
