dared her end so near that her <
family had watched by her bed- ]
side forty-eight hours; when, at <

improvement began, and con- i
tinued until she finally complete 1

Our people are considerably
worried at not getting the "Hkh
ald" before Monday. They look
tor it Saturday and are disap
pointed if it fails to come.
In the hurry of our write up
last week, we omitted to men
tion the sociable at Mr. J. W.
Smith's Friday night of Christ
mas week given in honor of Miss
Vessie Coats. An enjoyable time
was had, say those who were
present.
We all sympathize with Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Yelvington in the
loss of their little six months old
girl, which died Wednesday of
last week of pneumonia. The
little one was buried Thursday
evening in the family burying
ground.
No farmer should put in oyer
ten acres of cotton to the horse
this year. Manure that thor
oughly and cultivate it properly
and you will get a bale to the
acre. Remember that a large
acreage is calculated to depress
the price of cotton, which means
drudgery for the farmer. Don't
let us play into the hands of our
enemies by planting a large acre
age.
Mr. H. M. Barbour recently
visited his old school mate, Mr.
J. P. Hutchinson, of Rock Hill,
S. C., whom he had not seen for
twenty-three years. Of course,
after so long a separation, the
coming together of two old
friends, such as they are, was a
happy one. Rock Hill is located
in York county, has seven thou
sand inhabitants, is a growing
town, and is noted for its water
power. On Mr. Hutchinson's
farm is an electric power plant,
furnishing nine thousand horse
power, which runs eleven cotton
mills, furnishing lights and
street car power for Rock Hill,
Yorkville, Charlotte and Man
chester. Mr. Barbour says its a
magnificent plant, and says it is
i beautiful sight to see the water
iowiug over a twenty-six foot
iam. Twenty-five miles below
Kock Hill another plant is being
put in, which will turn out seven
ty-five thousand horse power,
which will yield the owners $21.
30 per horse power, peryear. Mr.
Barbour says the people are
thrifty, energetic and kind, says
two thousand bales of cotton
are being held by the farmers of
i'ork countv, wHch has been
stored in a warehouse in Rock
Hill. He says he was delighted
with his trip, likes the country
and people, but says he there is
ao place like old Johnston coun
ty, which is good enough for
him.
