boles, and jndglag from the 'oouditkui of the crop this number, qt bales

With that amount of money turned loose la the asual avenues of business >
In Colleton, there would he great tin social prosperity. Lose even a ->pai t
of thfempd there will be 8asocial stringency. V*
Mr. Farmer,‘to market your cotton crop you need a wr rehouse system.
To obtain ample warehouse facilities will require pome cspltsl, but it will
be money well spent. Suppose the farmer* «f (he County shoald subscrib.*

of a warehouse to store his cotton. Figure it out, Mr. Farmer, it is easy.
The cotton crop ran then be marketed gradually, and the price maintained.

PATROXI/.K HOME INMSTRY.
It may not often occur to the Av
erage man that the motto “Patron
ize Home Industry” is the keynote
to success in many instances and
almost invariably is the foundation
cf civic progress snd prosperity.
Thdre are many reasons why a
man should patronize as fsr as ro K *!t 0 rt wore here last week.
Mrs. Baynard Benton and little
sons. Ksmond and Andls, have re

you ari* a tberchant and selling dry
goods and patronize your local gr*>-
ceryman he will doubtless be bet
ter able to buy more clothing from
you; he mill perhaps buy an extra
suit or two from you within a year.
If you order your groceries you
have a right to expect him to order
