Mr. Harper had not been in Greensboro for 25 years prior to his visit of last week and he says the only part of the city he recognized was the old Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley railroad depot. "I do not expect the sales of cotton on the Fort Mill market this year to exceed 3,000 bales," yesterday said J. B. Mills, who for years has been a cotton buyer here.

Mr. Mills does not expect the activity of the boll weevil in this section to materially reduce the cotton production this year. Pastoral Relations Dissolved.

His shockingly sudden death carried grief to the hearts of those who knew him and loved him, and it likewise j sent a shock throughout this cu tire community. "A better man than Ira B. Ihinlap never lived in this community?a splendid, upright, loyal citizen, lie was always loyal to the best interests of Hock llill and the State of South Carolina. "Faithful and true to every trust, lovingly considerate of those who relied upon his judgment, immensely popular with all classes and conditions?we shall miss him more than words can tell, and it is the saddest duty in our life to record his death. "Thus ends a most delightful daily association with this splendid gentleman, lasting through 20 years. And in all that time lie never failed to measure up to the standard of a true man."
