V Miss Maggie Jones MILXJNERY babies. Also a line of MAIL ORDERS RBt'KIVE CAREFUL AND PROMPT ATTENTION. FIRE! FIRE! Important to Our Farmers. The tfjnufaclurera’ Record] wishes to invite attention to the following facts: The total production of corn . in the united states in 1891 was aesires to announce to the ladies that she 1.212,000,000 bushels, a decrease of over 400,000,000 bushels as jg OT3enil)fC 11D a llllG of compared with 189.1, and ade- 1 ~ 4 crease of 850,000, fu>hels as compared with 18°1. Fortun ately the South had a large crop this year, or otherwise it would j have had to purchase its cornl f ' OT STYLE and PRICES « stat3or C . r omB 0 Jear-'’ho»""ell not (.) be excelled, and JjJfjy to fit all the about 1,750,000,000 bushels, the production of the last two years is over 500,000,000 bushels short of the average. The country will therefore enter upon the next crop year with a very small stock of corn on hand—so small, indeed, that even should we have another 2,000,000,000 bushel crop, as in 1891, it would require all of this enormous yield to make up for the defi ciency of the last two years. Even should such a crop as this be produced, prices would prob ably still be high, because of the decrease in ISTt. Another small crop following the one of last year would necessarily mean exorbitant prices for corn. Because of these fac's it be comes more imperative than ever before that the South should increase its corn acreage this year. The South’s large crop last year was due more to a heavy yield per acre than to a large increase in acreage. If this section is to maintain its ind6j)endence of the West so far as corn is concerned, every effort should be made to urge upon farmers the importance of planting a larger acreage this year than ever before. With a big corn crop (he South is hot ter prepared to stand low priced cotton than it could in any oth er way. It behooves every trade or ganization in the South, and every business man individual ly, as well as the press, to per sistently exert all possible in fluent - " to encourage an increase of acreage in corn and other food supplies. If the vigorous work of the press is supplemented in this direction by the active personal cooper"(ion of bankers, busi ness men and all others who deal with farmers, it will be possible to secure an increase of 25 or more per cent, in the acreage devoted to corn and foodstuffs compared with last year. The vital interest which the entire South has in the increase of its grain production, which also means an increase in the supply of provisions, prompts the Manufacturers' Record to press this matter upon the at tention of every man in the South.

[Specie to the Nows end Coai'er] Camden, April 27.—Sam At kinson, a white lad, of Darling ton County, came to Camden a few days ago, and on Thursday stole a mule from Mr. Wiley Brazele, who lives in West Wa- teree, near the Richlaud County line. Mr. Brazele rode his mule, a very valuable animal, to Cam den, and hitched it to go on the street to attend to some business and when he returned found that the mule was gone. Search was immediately made for the thief and the stolen animal. Deputy Sheriff Bateman and Mr. Willie Parker recovered the mule in Darlington yesterday, but Atkinson made his escape. Mr. Brazele came to Camden this morning and got his mule. Sheriff Williams says that it is claimed that Atkinson is not of sound mind, but he does not know whether or not this is true.
