The dry weather in this section continues and the prospect for a cotton crop has dropped several degrees during the last week. Farmers who planted early have fairly good stands and the cotton is growing nicely, but the late onttan is verv scattering in places and many are doubting whether it will be profitable to work it out. No new cases of smallpox have developed in town since the last issue of The Times. The-negro, Man Perry, who is afflicted with the disease, is reported by the attending physician to be getting along nicely and doubtless will recover.

A special meeting of the board of trustees of the Fort Mill graded school was held Thursday for the purpose of electing teachers to two vacancies in the faculty.

Dryest May in Forty Years. For the State of South Carolina as a whole the month of May was the dryest suffered in over 40 years, according to a statement of the Columbia weather bureau. The station of the United States ^ -i Q- a I weather bureau in uoiumDia nas only been established 24 years but stations on the border of the' State that have been in service for over 40 years show the record for May dryness was broken during the past month. The total precipitation for May was only 0.70. The deficiency of the month as compared with the normal was 2.49. During the month of May 16 days were clear, 11 days were partly cloudy and four were cloudy. On only two days did .01 inch of precipitation occur. According to official reports every State in the cotton belt l needs good rains. The high temperatures would not be a drawback in most localities if! sufficient moisture were falling , to keep the plant growing. Warm ( nights right now are an advantage that the crop seldom has. Without rain, however, the high 1 temperatures are adding to the 11 injury being worked. ii At the end of last week the ( worst complaints were coming1 from the Carolinas, parts of 1 Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi anu Louisiana. All other States, however, needed rain but not as badly as the ones mentioned. It was claimed that in parts of Mississippi cotton was failing to germinate because of the excessive dryness of the soil. Rev. R. A. Yongue Injured. Fort Mill people will read with regret the following account, as published in the Chester Reporter Monday, of the accidental injury which befell Rev. R. A. Yongue on Sunday: "Rev. R. A. Yongue, pastorof Chester circuit, was thrown out of his buggy and painfully hurt yesterday while returning from preaching. His buggy was filled, and he was standing on the back of the vehicle, when the horse took, fright, and Mr. Yongue was pitched out. His head struck ; the ground, and he was knocked ' senseless by the impact. He was also badly shaken up and bruised otherwise, but fortunately no limbs were broken. Rev. Mr. Yongue will prooably have to be confined to his bed for several days, but his many friends all over the county will be glad to learn tnac nis injuries are nut y y serious. + + ^ Cotton Acreage in 1910. The bureau of statistics, United States department of agriculture, has made a revision of its preliminary estimate of the area planted to cotton last year, based on the resultsof a special investigation and the report by the bureau of the census of the quantity of cotton ginned last year. The revision indicates that the area planted to* cotton in 1910 was about 33,418,000 acres, instead of 133,196,000 acres as estimated last June. The yield of cotton per acre in 1910 is estimated at 170.7 pounds, and the area picked, 32,403,000 acres. It Sho' Was Dry. The present drought calls to mind an item published in the Charlotte Observer in March, 1905, concerning the dryness of that city, Observer said: It was so dry and hot in Charlotte yesterday that the wagons went about with their tongues hanging out, and ice had to be soaked in water before it was wet enough to make lemonade. The cat fish kicked up such a dust in 1 the bed of Town creek that the river will have to be sprinkled be fore the boys can go tishing this ( morning. A spark from the smoke , stack at the water-works' pump set the city pond on fire and burned up a wagon load of bull . frogs before the blaze could be ' extinguised. and the ground is so , hard and dry in the nearby bot' toms that the crawfish holes will j be pulled up, and used as gas ) pipes.
