We hope that every farmer read carefully the article that appeared in last week's Sentinel on classifying cotton, The De partment of Agriculture at Washington has begun the work of assisting our farmers in co-operative handling and marketing of cotton. Cotton raised in different sections of the south vary greatly in value. Different mills also demand dif ferent classes of cotton. The commission is beginning its work by making a study of cotton in these different sections. We think that cotton raised here is very desirable. Now is the time to prove it. The officials in charge of this work have asked me to secure for them all data possible. It is up to our farmers to make this a success. I wish to get samples of fine bales to send to Washing ton. T will forward same every week until February. They ask that the sample shall be of sufficient size to enable it to be graded properly, from four to five ounces. Place it in a good paper bag. Write on a slip and enclose in the bag. Who raised it and where? The day sold? The price recei ed? Who bought it, and the place sold? Please te very accurate with these statements. Cannot we expect some wide awake man in each community to assist in showing what his neighborhood can do? When you get a few samples together drop me a postal and I will send you a tag that will bring them to me without cost to you. I will be in Pickens the first Monday in December, but would like samples before then. C. H. Carpenter. Liberty Route 4. Mr. Editor: As this is my first attempt to write to The Sentinel I hope it will escape that dreadful waste basket. Health is very good in this community at present. W~ell, I think we all ought to be glad that we are going to get our cotton picked before the weather gets cold.

Leo Cantrel and Wesley James visited friends and re latives near Holly Springs church Saturday and Sunday. This tour is reported as being a very pleasant one. The young men saw much beautiful moun tain scenery. They took a drive from M. D. Cantrell's down Nine Times, up Little Eastatoe, by J. R. Meece's down Oolenoy. The most important scenery was Ball Knob and Table Rock mountains. On their drive they passed Holly Springs church. W. R. Price's store, thence turning southward through the Moseley Gap, down the waters of Twelve Mile river and back to M. D. Cantrel's. It is a fact not to be doubted that the boys and girls of the Piedmont section are among the very brightest of all the world. The bovs and girls that are living around the foothills of these mountains. under the shadows of these hills, drinking the water of the sparkiing brooks and breathing the fine mountain air have a right to be healthy. We are taught by all medical authorities that pure air and water are very neces sary to life. With all these natural advantages these boys and girls will certainly develop into strong men and women. If they have they have strong bodies they will have strong minds, for these two go together. All they need to do is to improve their mental faculties. Let us wake up to the fact that there is no better time than tiW~Dres ent, We should,.take ad' antage of school and make the very best possible. Semej. Norris News. Rev.

C., where he is engaged in the saw-milling business. We wish for him areat success. Mr. Editor, we want to com pliment Supervisor Craig for sending Mr. James Herd in our midst to work our badly needed roads. I think he has made a few more friends in this section, as this side isall Looper men. I think our Legislature ought to do away with the supervisor's office and elect three county commissioners. Green vilie county has done this and I think Pickens county ought to follow and save all the money we can. I hope Mr. McCravey and Mr. Williams will think of an act that they think best. Mr. Jake Hudson has return to Branchville to t6ke up his work in the millinz business. Mr. J. N. Grant has painted his house, which h4g greatly improved the appearance of it.
