Personal Paragraph* Concerning Pop ular People nnrf Short Item* of that Section. .WilKiiittville, Nov. 8—If our mer chants would do what they ought to they would pay the women who pat ronize their stores good prices for ad vertising their goods. They (the merchants) are in blissful ignorance of how their goods and prices are extolled by their lady patrons the next day and perhaps for a week af ter they nake their purchases. Every one who comes in must see and pass upon their excellent qualities and prices of the goods and tell how the dresses should be iu<lde. It’s rig)" amusing te listen to the “buncombe” and deceit so apparent to a close ob server. “Oh. that will make such a pretty dress,” says one. “I’d cut It with gores and put three flounces ou the skirt, cut bias.” says another. “Wlhere did you get it?” que-ies another. "I got it from that red-head ed girl in at Blank’s,” says the shop per. “What did it cost a yard?” asks another. “It was ten cents a yard; but i got\three ya-ds for a quarter by taking t! t whole piece, hut had to pay six c ‘nts for a spool of thread— I never r )id that for thread before. I have always got six spools for a quarter,”, k-plieg the shopper. Up bobs ano Jler who has been looking on and listening as the exhibition of the goods goes on and says; “I don’t like them stripes—they are too broad. Besides, it’s just like the dress got at last year, ar ’ she wore that dress everywhere she went unt’l I was tired of seeing It.” At this the shopper gets disgusted at her purchase, and turns loose a ti rade of abuse on the red headed girl, the merchant and the whole town for putting off such goods on her. And about that time in steps another and adds to the confusion by finding ob jections to the whole outfit. That “AH men are liars" is not hard for some women to believe, whose husbands attend the club meetinga regularly. Unless this cigarette business is stopped about where cotton is being picked, handled and hauled to the ffln, we may look for one of the big gest cotton fires that this section has ever had. A si«rk In the seed cot ton Is sufficient to do the work, even after the bale is packed and. on Its way to market, or even later. There is too ranch at stake to Justify the careless handling of matches and cig arettes or pipes, for cotton even at „ present prices ds worth too much to be destroyed for the sake of “a smoke.” Farmers should begin sowing wheat before long and we hope to see a good crop of it put In, and In godl order at that. Our King’s Creeh correspondent has rightly concluded that we have good neighbors or are a poor farmer. It’s both, brother; but our neighbors don’t like to Indulge In a luxury without having their friends to enjoy It too. if he doesn’t understand let him come down and live among them awhile. We are glad to hear from the young people through the columns of our paper, and don’t see why more of the boys and girls don’t write for the press. What Is It that the muru a (terson gives and the more he will atill have? —good sense. Mts. J. Jj. S. takes a rlddlng-ont spell once and awhile, burning up the trash, but we have escaped ao far. Wlhat the people of Salem will do for a preacher next year we don’t know yet. But we suppose we win get one by the time we want him. Messrs. Whisonant and Kendrick have quit buying cotton, for the pi«»a- ent. Very little of It la now being offered for sale. Only those who are compelled to do so will sell. Just a small per cent, of the crop Is now in the field. The fox hunters were out last Tues day night, but we haven’t heard from their luck y«t In getting up a race. There will be several fine porkers killed this season. Hog raising is getting to be more popular than here tofore and people are turning their attention to better stock. Several of the lower Uherokeeans will attend the annual conference at Gaffney the last of this month. The man who knows what heat and cold the women and children of this county suffer In raising and gather ing their cotton crop, and can see their labor and suffering go for as food as naught without saying, “Rise ■p, ly>rd, and let their enemies be seattered,” is no better than a brute even If half so good. Mr. W- R- Walker made a visit to his Sunnyside farm this weeb. From all accounts the State fair must have been a big thing this year. Wle hope It will not be long until Cherokee county will have a fair of iti own, where our farmers and nth- era will have an opportunity of show ing the progress they are making in their craft. Several of 'the counties have comity fairs, and they meet with mere or success. “’Posaum and Inters” Is becoming a leading dlah In the culinary depart ment of some Cherokee county homes, ft's a dish we never had any ■pedal fancy for. Meaara. James G- Garner and J. N. Strain went to Lockhart mills laat Monday. They found Mr. V. C. Co il mer’s family all sick. Two colored women, Sindy Hardy and Rose Rice, died last Tuesday near this place. I^ast Wednesday was too cold for the cotton pickers to put In a full day’s work. Several of our neighbors are suffer ing with colds. None are, we are glad to say, very bad off.

Notwithstanding the farmers have done so much to keep cotton off the market, there Is still a lot of dis tressed cotton on hand—that In the field. There has been too much delay now. Something should be done at once. If It is necessary to amend SHORT NEWS ITEMS OF LOCH INTEREST, REMINISCENCES. , ”W.

Whereas we, the members of Cher okee County branch of the Farmers’ Educational and Co-operative Union of America, believe that the mlnlmwn price set by tbe National Union at Little Rock is a fair and equitable price for cotton, therefore, be It Resolved, first, that we pledge our selves to hold all cotton in our pos session, or that may come into our possession, for that price. Resolved, second, that we store our cotton In warehouses as far as prac ticable, in order to co-operate with the business agent In hla efforts to sell at a better price, and that we urge our neighbors and friends to do likewise. Resolved, third, that we have no desire to work a hardship upon the persons or firms that we owe, but that It la our purpose to beep the cotton off the market except at the minimum price, and If It be sold for less than the minimum It must be sold by the aherlff after due process of law.
