Walter Hanks Meacham, cashier
of the Savings Hank of Fort
Mill, furnishes The Times with
the folowing information relative
to the cotton crop of the South
for the last 91 years:
If all the cotton had been sold
at the highest price reached in
each year, the average for the 91
years wold have been 20 2-3 cents.
If all the cotton had been sold
at the lowest price quoted each
year, the average for the 91 years
would have been 11 2-3 cents.
The average price per pound
for the 91 years was 16 1-30.
Leaving out 1lie abnormal prices
paid during the Civil war and
the World war, excluding 186166
and 1914-20. the average high- >
est price for the 91 years was
145-79; the average lowest price

Weather for Last Week.
During the week ending last
Sunday the mean temperature at
Charlotte, N. C., whose weather
~v...i?iuiip me prauiicuuy lilt"
same as those of Fort Mill, was
exceeded only once during the
last 42 years, according to the
weather bureau records of that
city.
The mean temperature for the
week was 05.6 degrees, which was
exceeded by only half a ?degree
when the thermometer reached
G6.1 in the third week of March,
1894. Normal temperature for
March's third week of this year
was f>0.9. There *is an excess of
temperature for the month of 231
degrees and 326 for the year, the
weather bureau announces.
to Whom It May Concern.
On the assumption that the
same is being violated because of
ignorance of its existence, 1 beg
to call attention to the Act of
March 9. 1918, "To Regulate All
Mercantile and Industrial Establishments,
Other than Corporations,
Having a Place of Business
in This State, to Disclose the
Names and Addresses of the Propi
ietors Thereof, and to Provide
? I) ti- f ~
a imany ior failure to Do So,"
etc.
Compliance with the Act requires
the filing with me of a
statement giving the name under
which the business is being done,
and the name or names of the
owner or owners of such business.
I have the necessary blanks
which I will be pleased to forward
upon application, and which
when properly filled out I will
record for the fee prescribed by
law?One dollar.
In addition to this registration
with the Clerk of Court, the law
requires the names of the owners
of a place of business be conspicuously
posted about such place
of business in plain Roman letters,
