Cotton picking is*now general throughout this section of the' State and since the season opened a few days ago 175-bales of new cotton have beqp sold on the Fort Mill market.

Apes Detect Counterfeit. Keeping monkeys of various kinds as pets is one of the hobbies of the people of Siaiu. Due 10 their 4ilosc association with human beings, these creatures hecome highly intelligent. Oik; of the most remarkable things thai these monkeys can do is to test money. In Siam counterfeit is more plentiful than in amy other country in the world. As a consequence, the lot of the merchant is a difficult one. They have, however, surmount d the trouble to a latere extent by making us*' of apes to test the coins. Sitting by tile side of each merchant is to be seen a solemn faced ape. Every piece of money handed to its master isv. at once given to the ape. The animal tests lite coin with his teeth. If it is. good, he throws it into the money box; if it be .bad, he flings it to the ground. ' The strange part about the business is that 110 white person has yet been able to discover how the apes tell the good money from the l>Hd. The merchants politely refuse to explain how the creatures are trained to carry v>ut this useful office. The only sure thing about the affair is that the apes never make a mistake.
