People who are old enough to
be reminiscent remember the
day when the cotton growers
thought they were ruined be-
cause cotton went down to
cents a pound. In those days it
cost a pile of money to run a
plantation, for everything was
high and we doubt whether there
was as much clear in
cotton as there is today. Old
folks remember when bag-
and ties on cotton cost a
little fortune and nearly every
other expense in producing cot
ton in those days was proper
high.
It is true that the cotton grow-
of those days keep on
making it as the price went
and the time was when
the farmers planted all cotton
and depended on buying their
provisions and even the corn and
hay which they fed to their stock.
They had all their eggs in one
old cotton basket
and disaster overtook the
cultural industry in the South-
There is no telling how greatly
the agricultural industry in the
South was retarded by the
thinking policy, in
those days, when the people
were engaged in a fierce struggle
to overcome the effects of war.
Our cotton growers should
never go back into the old rut.
Diversified crops and reduced
acreage in cotton will keep our
farmers from on the
again. There have been
tough days with the cotton grow
and it will be their fault if
they again go around with a
mortgage begging somebody to
them from year to year

I have that splendid property, just east of the town limits in South Greenville, into convenient lots for home-seekers
and will sell them on easy terms. There is no better location for homes anywhere around Greenville. High elevation, level,
and convenient, being only a few minutes walk from the business part of town. This property is just outside the corporate
limits, yet those who reside there will have the benefit of the graded school, and be as near to the churches, and depot and
as are the people in many parts of the town, being only three hundred yards from Five Points, nice neighborhood
adjacent to the property. Talk it over me and let me show you these desirable lots. No better time than NOW buy.
Greenville will grow rapidly in the next few years and property will be higher. Catch the opportunity before it is too late.

how much work he does even on

the sleet he went to the woods
and cut cord wood the noon
hour, when he was stopped by a
chill. During the morning he
cut cords of wood. At noon
he lay down before the fire and

afternoon was spent in cording
up the wood he had previously
cut, and when night be had
laid up cords as an afternoon's
work. So the record for the

stump, one chill shaken off, and
