"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. "Ordinarily the sales in

the crop will be light this year,

amount of commercial fertilizer
put under the crop last spring."
Mr. Mills does not expect the activity
of the boll weevil in this
section to materially reduce the
cotton production this year.

The editor ot the Rock Hill

following tribute lo the memory
of Ira 15. Dunlap, well known
and universally esteemed citizen

"The dominant trait of Ira B.
Dunlap"s eharacter was loyalty
and service to his friends and his
community, lie was a mighty
fine man. and we are among that
large number who will say that
lie was the very best friend any
man could have. 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."
