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. While the
year's crop undoubtedly will be
short, a number of farmers are
of the .opinion that the forecast of
half a crop for this section is too
low. Today the best price offered
for the staple 011 the Fort Mill
market was 21 1-2 cents.
The Fort Mill township road
commission is practically out of
business for the bulance of the
year, according to a statement
which is said to have reached
here from the county treasurer's
office savintr that funds for work
on the roads of the township for
the current year are exhausted.
The law under which the commission
opera'tes does-jiot authorize
h to borrow money in anticipation
of funds to be derived later
from taxation and if the report
from the couty treasurer's ortiee
is correct there will be no more
work on the roads of the township
for several months.
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.

Heavy Hauling in China.
Laborers in America who think
they have a hard life should see
Chinese coolies at work, says a
fwriter in Asia Magazine. Imagine
j wheeling a barrow with a 400 or |
i 500 pound load for hundreds of \
miles over roads difficult to travel
even on horseback. Usually
there are two men af a barrow.
The^on^ at the handles, by means
of a strap over his shdulders,
takes much of the weight from
his arms, leaving his hands more
o?* less free to guide and balance
the load : the one in front drags
it forward with a 10 foot rope.
Panting and straining, with*the
sweat streaming from their half
naked bodies: pulling through
foot deep yellow dust; lifting over
rocks and dragging up hills; at
night gulping a bowl of soup or
macaroni, and half dead -with
fatigue, falling asleep on the
ground in the inn courtyard with
the pigs, chickens and mules?so
they live, day after day, year in
and year out. with nothing else
to look forward to. Alt this fos
about 18 cents a day in American
money. - * [.
