blows the whistle of his engine,

delighted with the odd sound

event of no little moment.
Automobilists report that the
country roads are getting in bad
snape on account ot the heavy
dust which the dry weather of
the past several days has per'
mitted to accumulate. Often
when a car passes another or a
buggy or wagon it is necessary
for the second vehicle to stop
^ and wait until the dust settles
before proceeding, on account
of both the unpleasantness and
the danger of continuing when
" the driver is unable to see.

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. Then, too, the nonresident

great many of the North Carolina
hunters from entering this
section as formerly was the case.

Loans on Cotton
at 6 per cent
Last year the First National
Rank loaned money to EVERY
farmer who offered warehouse
receipts for cotton as security,
and hy means of these loans
hundreds of bales of cotton were
stored and sold later at higher
prices which put thousands of
dollars in the pockets of our
farmer customers.
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.
We are prepared however to
make loans, secured by warehouse
receipts for cotton, to
those farmers who may wish to
hold their cotten at Six Per Cent
Interest.
