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 Wilmington Star. the Summary Statistics by Census Bureau.

On Monday after 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 when he had shaken off his chill ho went back to the woods. The 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 day three and a half cords of wood cut from the stump, one chill shaken off, and and a half cords of wood laid up Mr. Garrison says that to cut and put up five cords of of wood is a light day's work. He loves to feel his keen reaching deep into the timber at every stroke.
