If it is cotton you want, come to Parkton, as we have been advised by one of the leading local buyers that more than 1,000 bales were sold on the local market last week and it is still rushing. This is an important season with the farmer, and to my opinion they are making a serious mistake rushing it on market. Mon day when train No. 80 rolled up to the station, when the colored folks all rolled off, it reminded us of some big circus day and within a fe minutes the farmers had carried them in every direction until there were none left. This means the cotton up our way will all be picked ere Christ, rias this season, and will cause the local darkey to get a move on or the other fellow will beat him to it The darkeys we mention' came from South Carolina where the boll weevil has destroyed roost of the cotton.
