Cupid has been absent from social affairs in this community of late. There has been a general Indoor cotton picking this winter, and is yet the program after the third meal, or from 6 to 9. The bolls are gathered in the day, and hauled to the house. That night so many basket fulls must be picked before any sleep Is allow ed. Of course we have a big log Are burning all the time. It has been too cold to pick In the fields this winter, and some method had to be adopted to save the cotton when It is worth so much. Bob Morrow says that all the cotton should be picked If the bolls had to be cracked with a ham mer. I agree with him. though I'd rather the other fellow would do the cracking an dthe picking. The folks have started talking pol itics, and I'll probably have some thing to say about the situation next week. Also want to speak a few words for the War Savings Stamps. Bill Arp.

PLTLtrt, MC Prospect, Th. trader In liOW Pricey His Sister, Mr. M. S. Ahley, Who Didn't Know Whether He was Liv ing or Dead, Received Word to This Effect. (From the Waxhaw Enterprise.) Mrs. M. S. Asheley has heard through the Red Cross national head quarters at Washington that her brother. Mr. T. B. Arants a prison er of war at Brandenberg. Germany. He was captured off a British mer chant vessel about a year ago. Mrs. Ashley had not heard from her broth er for nearly a year and she did not know whether he was alive or not, and the news that he was is a great relief to her. Mr. Arant spent several months her with Mrs. Ashley about three pears ago, an dis a citizen of Waxhaw as this Is the last place he registered in the United States. The Monroe Jurnal says that the political pot Is bubbling. The Jour nal surmises that R. W. Lemmond and M. C. Long will enter the race again for their offices of clerk cf court and register of deeds. In this end of the county it i3 generally un derstood that they can have their places as long as they want them. The candidates for other offices are not so easily picked out. J. N. Price will probably make the race tor State senate. J. . Grifnth and T. u, Lee may contest for sheriff's office. In the race for representative the water is muddy and no one can tell yet what It will show when it clears ud. John Vann win probably run; Jerre Laney is considering it and the usual two or three dozen later de- veloDtnents will probably make a lengthy ballot. Miss Essie Neely, daughter or Mr. W. P. Neelv of this place, was mar ried to Mr. C. L. Whisnant in Char lotte last Saturday. The marriage was at the manse of Tenth Avenue Presbyterian church and was per formed by Dr. Sibley, the pastor. Mrs. Whisnant is a very charming young lady. For several years she has been head bookkeeper at the Western Union Telegraph Company In Charlotte. The groom also held a responsible position with the West ern Union. Farmers who were unable to get their cotton picked out until after all the bad December and January weather and those who are buying seed cotton to have ginned, are find ing market conditions very unsatis factory. The price of good white cot- tou is holding up all right and there is a steady demand for it, but there is no demand for these deep stains, commonly known as "dog tail." Few mills In this section can use it and the embargoes on railroads make it impossible to ship It to a good mar ket. While good cotton Is worth around 32 cents a pound, this low grade is bringing anywhere from 21 to 27 cents a pound, and is some times hard to sell at any price. Many of the fellows who have been buying up lots ol seed cotton are losing money on it. ! Mr. J. E. Bigham has been buying seed cotton in little lots, and having It ginned up when he gets a bale. He raid Saturday that he was going to quit buying cotton pretty soon and buy War Savings Stamps. Mr. Bigham said his little folks had some money they made picking cotton and heover heard them talking about how they would spend it. the ather day, when he told them that they could spend half of it that way but must buy war stamps with the rest. If parents gen erally would encourage the children to invest In the thrift stamps or war savings stamps the total aggregate savings would help to win the war.
