He had fifty bales of March ? chiton in iiia store house, which h? ha* been holding with the expecta tion of getting 16 centp. per pound. ' The recent upward tendency of the ? market has l>een very gratifying to him, and eomo of his friends ad vised hlin to hold on further, pre dicting that cotton would su rely go to 18 cents. Friday afternoon, Mr. Finley could stand the pressure no longer, after he learned that it had gone to 1(J cents. Ho rushed to the telegraph oflloe and wjred his agent to sell out at 10 cents. His good luck was not confined to his cotton. The same day he was noti fied hy the fourth assistant p?mt ^waaster general tU^t fifteen rural delivery routes idrois district, which wero turned down some time ago, cue to be surveyed and established km. nt an early day. These routes are in the counties of Cherokee, York, Chester, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lan caster aud Chesterfield. When Mr. Machen was at the head (if tin rural delivery service ho denied the request for the establishment of thceo routeij, because they did not ?how seventy-five white families lo ench route. No account whh taken of the nogro families Mi. Kin ley lias been working upon tho ofliclalH of tho 'poBtoffloo department with great dihuenco and ho has 11 Daily obtained a ruling that these routes - will be established if it can be ?hown that one hundred families, ? .... black and white, will receive the benefit of the delivery service. It 1* provided however, that at least ^one member of each family nhall ? be able to read and write, 'l'liis educational qualification, in the opinion of Mr. Fin ley, is in no way * objectionable to , the people along tbe proposed route. LI ... For Wood Koads. At last it seems aa if the Na ? - A - ' - tional Government is going lo do g-v' something for the farmer.

The Florence Times advises the farmers to diversify their crops. It eays : ??Farmers look out.

With a nice church and a school Blimey would soon build up to be a nice towu and may soon bo a great health resort, for it is eituatod in the saod hdls. There aro some as protty white sand hills around Blaney as can be found anywhere, and there is u beautiful green shrub grows on on some of these hills called wild rosemary.
