Storing Cotton.
It is very important that all
cotton that is not marketed when
ginned should be stored or placed
in a position where it will be protected
from injury by moisture.
When cotton is exposed to rain
it is subject to serious injury;
and where it is sheltered but left
in contact with the damp ground
it is likely to become seriously
damaged. It is frequently the
case that people do not realize
the amount of damage that is
is done. In many instances cotton
appears from the outside of
the bale to be in fairly good condition,
when it really is badly in*

moisture has been allowed to
penetrate the bale, thus causing
mildew. It is not unusual, according
to data of the department
of agriculture, for cotlon
to suffer a loss of from $3 to $5
per bale as the result of unnecessary
exposure. At all times it
should be kept off the ground
and properly sheltered. Where
it is impossible to place it in a
warehouse it should be protected
by a dry shed, or it may be
placed on polls or timbers which
will keep it several inches from
the ground, and covered from
wet weather. Protected in this
way it can be held for six months
or even a year with very little
damage,
"Safe Farming" Always.
A program of "safe farming"
for the South is outlined in a
circular which the United States'
Department of Agriculture has
sent to hankers, business men,
and farmers in the cotton States.
The history of agriculture in the
South, it is said, has been one
of lean years and fat years.
Short crops and high prices
have, it is pointed out, alinoft
invariably been followed by bij
crops and low prices and in consequence,
the farmer has experienced
much distress. The
increased attention which has
recently been given to supporting
the people upon the land
has slready resulted in much
good, but there is sontedangei,
it is pointed out. that with the
price of cotton rising there will
be a tendency for farmers to
return to the old system of
gambling on cotton. If the people
of the South produced their
own living, the circular points
out, it would steady the whole
system and keep the boat from
rocking.
It is to be hoped the farmers
of the South will heed this advice
in their farming operations
df 1916.
Note and Comment.
Man has three creators, God,
himself and his fellows. Few
realize the extent to which we
are made by the great mass of
humanity of which v;e are a
part.
The people that we come in
contact with during our every
day lives influence our thoughts
to a greater extent than most
people are willing to admit.
The biggest fool is the one who
: thinks he can fool others with
impunity without them knowing
and resenting it.
When people love you they
; cheat you; when they fear you,
they let you cheat them.
============
The shortest road to happiness
is to be content where you are
I and with what you have.
A performance today is cash
in hand; a promise of tomorrow
is only a note of hand.
Virtue's violations scars a coni
science, persistence burns it,

i The man that is perfectly contented
with the world is too good
for it.

Death of Wm. Wright.
William Wright, whose critical
illness was mentioned in last
Thursday's issue of The Record,
died Friday morning about 1 o'clock.
Mr. Wright had been seriously
ill for several months. He
, vas well known in this city and
community as a contractor and
builder, numbers of homes in the
| city having been constructed un;
ler his direction. He was liked
I by his fellow-men and the public
! renerally. ? Rock Hill Record.
Mr. Wright is well rememberd
in Fort Mill and the country
surrounding, having at one time
[resided in this city. He was a
^brother of Mrs. Wm. Adkinsand
Mrs. Eliza Johnson, now residents
of Fort Mill.
The News of Gold Hill.
Times Corresjjondence.
Mr. Sam Boyd is confined at
his home with the second attack
>f sickness he has had the present
year. We also learn that
the Hon. S. H Epps is seriously
sick.
We think the farmers are well
uf> with their work. .
There was a Rood old-fashioned
corn shucking pulled off at Mr.
W. H. Windle's the past week.
It was accompanied with all the
| good things usual on such ocj
casions and we Ihink it is now
near thirty years since we had a
i like gathering 44 in this community.
There has been some of the
finest fields of corn grown in
this section the present year we
i have ever seen on hill land and
the farmers have peas, potatoes,
pinders and lots of good things
to he thankful for and Fort Mill
went and let that little suburb
of Pleasant Valley have a fair
before she had one. Well, there
is one consolation about it,
Pleasant Valley couldn't have
her show without first coming:
over to York county and borrow
a babe to have at their fair.
They certainly acted wisely in
coming over here because there
! is a good stand of babies in these
diggings, and I reckon they are
fair to look upon because there
was fifty-seven different persons
went to visit one near us
one day recently. We will close
having no other points to make
and not a single point to boost
us on.

Pickpockets Plead Guilty. I
John Miller. G. VV. Wilson and
William Monahan, the white
men arrested in Charlotte on October
20, Barnum & Bailey circus
day, and afterward convicted
in recorder's court, after an allday
trial, on the charge .of being
pickpockets and who appealed
from thedecisionof the fecobder, *
entered a plea of guilty in superior
court before Judge AVebb t
yesterday morning, through their
attorney.
Judge Webb sentenced each of
them to serve six months on the
county roads. The evidence was
gone into fully, it proving of
exactly the same nature as that
i . i . .? - - - I
presenteu to tne recorder. At
the conclusion of the evidencetaking
the defendants' attorneys
made a statement to the court
stating that while they yet protested
their innocence of the
crime charged against them they
would enter a plea of guilty and
throw themselves on the mercy
of the court rather than fight the
matter further and perhaps draw
a heavier sentence. They placed
in their attorneys' hands $500 to
be given to Mr. A. H. Huneycutt,
a well known merchant of
Stanley county, who on circus
day was robbed of this amount.
