LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, Oct. 19.?We have had a few cool nights and mornings but we have not seen or heard of any frost yet. The pea crop will be very good if frost stays off a while longer. Everyone is talking of sowing a great deal of grain this fall. The American mills are certainly having things their own way?getting cotton so cheap. Well, I thought there would not be much cotton sold before November, but there was enough sold to keep the mills running and you see, we farmers are the ones blamed for a great <leal of low price cotton. We will sell if it opens at 10 cents as we will sell if it is 5 cents, so that is the way it goes. If this crop of cotton is sold at the present price the South will lose equal to the European war?not in lives but financially. It does seem to me there is some speculation in this thing. A few years ago there was said to be a money panic, "no money" was the cry. It was said that the banks had failed, the Northern national banks failed; the price of cotton went down a little. It was said no money to buy cotton. I said to a mill man at that time and he was president of a mill. "What caused the failure? Did the cashier of the bank run oil? What had gone with it?" It will never be known. In time ev erything was moving along nicely and the hanks had plenty of money and were not hroke and there was money t?> pay for cotton. There is just as much money this year as there w > hist year. War or no war. Rut things will change sifter while and it will he sill light. 1 saw what 1 thought was a mystery last Saturday evening ahout three-quarters of an hour before sundown. 1 will tell it sis near as I can sis f saw it. I was coming from Jonesville with Mr. S. A. Scott and we met Miss Sal lie Gault sind her brother in a buggy. They were looking up towards the sky and said to us. "I.ook up." And we both looked and saw a small cloud in the west, south of the sun; it looked to be about two feet in size in an oblong shsipe. This was bright and smoke coming from it?it was just like si flying wind cloud, but there was no other cloud, only a small dark cloud that the sun went down behind; this cloud did not move as we could tell, only went away from our sight. 1 cannot tell how, but the smoke went from it sis long as we' looked at it. Now, it maybe someone nnc ? it dim wnif awuui IIUW it loked to them and what they thought about it. I never saw a cloud sending forth smoke before. The sky was clear everywhere and this little cloud was alone. Mr. Scott said in a joking way it was an European explosion. It is a sign and something will surely follow it. Mr. 11. C. Duncan of Laurens county was a visitor in this community last week. Mr. Albert Garner of near Jonesville in company with Misses Annie Johnson and Aileen Holcombe were visitors at Sunday school last Sunday. I was traveling in the interest of the monument business near Adamsburg last week and was invited to the home of Mr. R. L. Nance wherel was .

Mr. Nance is a pro- () gressive farmer, raising his own cl meat and bread stuff at home. I was t< treated with much hospitality in this si home. \\ If nothing prevents I will attend A the fair this week. Everybody take * G day who can and go to the fair. All p that don't go to the fair will pro to the b circus on the 29th. The Sparks world famous shows. Reports speak very I favorable of this show from this sec- L tion and I expect everybody will pro on p the 29th. I know I will be there if t nothing prevents. Mr. J. E. Hughes of near Sardis, a S few miles from Union, prave me a Is question to ask. He wants to know d who was the first prophet. He told me, but I will not tell you, unless it J cannot be answered. Moxv. r * d OAKLAND. j Oakland, Oct. 20.?This bein" the ? week for the general assembly at Columbia ii. its extra session to try and t formulate plans and regulations that will relieve the farmers of the present e crisis which the low price of cotton j; has brought about, will in my opinion avail the farmers nothing unless the I other nine cotton States cooperate t ; with them. If South Carolina passes j ' a law to force a curtailment in the t acreage to be planted in cotton next ( year, and the other States plant as j much cotton as usual then, to what advantage will such a law be to the South Carolina farmer. It would only encourage the other States to plant ' just 0 little more cotton that they 1 might take advantage of our decrease 1 of acreage. Three or four years ago t I a pcuuon was earned to tne tarmers I asking them to sign and give oath s | that they would cut their acreage 1 from twenty-five to fifty per cent, and , I some of them that signed it to that v effect were the ones that increased P 1 their acreage twenty-five per cent, t I just so they could make that much off f ' his neighbors decrease of acreage. f Ordination services were held at > i Duck Pond church last Sunday even- * ing at 3:30 o'clock for the purpose of ordaining as deacon a very faithful ( God-fearing Christian worker to help '< fill this sacred office. A council com- ' posed of brethren 1). W. Williams, M. 1 I). Kison, N. P. Hendrix and J. A. I'et- I ty of .Mon-Aetna met with our church ' in holding its ordination service. Rev. 1 I >. W. Garvin delivered the ordination ' sermon which was very instructive. 1 Rev. I). C. Wylie delivered the charge } in which he gave some very helpful > advice as to the laws governing this office. After the ordination prayer which was offered by Brother N. P. Hendrix, and the laying of hands by the council, pastor and deacons, Bro. W. G. Bobo was recognized as an ordained deacon of Duck Pond church by a friendly handshake from the members present. We are glad to , have among us just such Christian men as Brother Bobo. < Kre this issue of The Times is read j by its many readers the Union county f?t1r will almost be a thing of the , past.
