PAGE SIX THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S. C. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1924 County Ginnings Now Surpass Last Year Indications Are That Laurens County Farmers Have Produced 25,000 Bales. That the cotton crop in Laurens county will prove to be greater this year than last, is indicated by the latest report on ginnings which shows that there were 22,534 bales ginned to Novmeber 14th, as compared with 21,486 bales to the same date last year. All reports made prior to the latest one this season showed the county running behind last year, ow ing to the rainy weather in Septem ber, but §ince this report runs more than 1,000 bales ahead it is thought this crop will be greater. The government report made on March 1, this year, showed that Lau rens county farmers planted an esti mate of 75,000 acres in cotton in 1923, made an average of 159 pounds of lint to the acre, a total crop of 23,- 800 bales, worth $3,808,000 at a calcu lation based on the price as of De cember 1, 1923. It has been generally understood that there was more planted in this county this year, but that the yield is not quite so much per acre as last year. However, if the present lead is maintained there will be about 25,000 bales ginned in the county, maybe ■ir’''TBwr9r i 7«fe ‘Sy-n; Another thing to be considered in comnarine’ this crop with that of last year is that a few ginneries near some of the county lines were dis continued this season and a part of the crop carried across these lines to other counties. All these compari sons indicate a greater crop ih'this county than last year. J THE JEDGE’S JOSH * Pay-Day Doctor: “Your bill is $650.

This medicine soon relieved me.” (State ment given May 8, 1918). On January 22, 1922, Mrs. McCrary said: “Doan’s Pills cured me of a spell I had one time.
