a Farmers in this section are about
a through planting corn. Some of
r them are planting cotton ana some
- are setting tobacco plants. All seem
i* full of energy and are in good spir
its. If nothing happens to the corn
e crop this season there will be a
- bumper crop in this section, as twice
y the area has been planted as come
pared with last year. I think this a
y good policy. Why should farmers 1
and land-owners buy grain and bae
con when they have just as good opf
portunity to raise such products as
k the Western farmers? There is no
o way to figure any money out of cotd
ton,even at 12i cents when on^has '
n to buy everything else. Farmers,
y let's get our minds settled down on
0 this and see first where we stand
, with our hands out-spread looking
for a dollar and every week with our
r wagons backed up to the back door
- of some man's store loading witn
corn, bacon, grits and meal, to be
charged to us until we get our cot- i
I. ton. Friend, just take an hour off
to yourself with a pencil and paper ,
e and figure out what you can make
out of cotton under these conditions.
If a farmer would plant enough
8 grain to supply his farm plentifully
f and have about 6 to 10 bales of coti
ton,with nothing but a fertilizer bill
i? to pay, he would be a winner.

has made everything begin to put
on its spring appearance, although
it has only been about a week since
we had snow and ice.

pushed as rapidly as possible. Corn
has been planted and cotton planting
is now in progress in many
places. There is a decided cut in
the cotton acreage around here, the
land being planted in other crops.
Mr A R Moseley, one of our progressive
farmers, says he has 24
acres which he intends to plant in
beans, watermelons, sugar corn, tobacco.
tomatoes, hog corn, sorghum
cane, chufas, pindars and cotton.
He also says he has 15 head of nice
hogs, fine poultry and pigeons, a
market garden and fine orchard.
Now. Mr Editor, how is this for di
versified farming?
There has been an epidemic of la
grippe around here during the past
two or three weeks, not a single
family having escaped. Mr C Fowlers'
little baby, who has been very
ill with bronchial pneumonia, is fast
improving.
Mrs Cooper, who has been quite
sick,i8 also improving.
Mrs T A McDaniel was called to
Marlboro county last week by the

stree this week.
Misses Mamie McLees and Amanda
Edwards visited the school here last
week and gave demonstrations with
thefireless cooker.
Mr E W Tutle's new residence is
going up rapidly and will be quite
an addition to the town.
Look Out.
Here's a pointer: The merchant

goods. There's money in the old
land yet, and more a-coming.
