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

ed by his wife. 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

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. <
