The season for hunting quail and other game in South Carolina opens next Monday, the 15th. I uame in me section surrounding Fort Mill is said to be growing scarcer with each succeeding year and hunters are not near so numerous as they were some years ago.

We do not advise the farmers to store their cotton this year nor do we advise them to sell at the present prices. This is a matter which should be decided by each individual farmer according to i his needs and circumstances.
