(the wrangle over tne uamn postoi Has No Liking For County Home Union county has a citizen in the person cf Mr. John Edwards who has fie What to Do with Fifty Dollars If you had $50 and wanted to have no I ke for the county home. For the ; bur time, what would you do? Eddie past three weeks he has been hanging "! J the tw tern Ln.on nr.v.n,l the court house asking alms dWivery boys, were confronted with of the passerby. During the day he that question recently. They doetded ha been sitting on the benches and at n:zht ha used one for a bed. When a member of the board of county com w'ssioners suggested to Edwards thBt he could have a good home at tha county' expense he oon disappeared nnd it I stpted thnt he went to Wax haw. Mr. Edwan' is 15 year of age nnd ha ni homo, but it seems thnt he has p hn-ror of going ti th? nlace provided for people in his condition. Jars Will Be Needed for Fruit With the heavy fruit cron in the roi'ntv, coming on at a rnivd pace it is believed that very few iar will be used th;s year for serine and hauling h'in ' ti-cr booze. It will be remem bered tha a few ears aeo there was a great demand for fruit jars, even though the fnrt crop wn almost a failure. Some fellow advanced the Idea that they were being used for jinijor End that the ring on the noses of some men whom nobody had ever known to wear spectacles was caused from drinking out of fruit jars. Al though the blackberry crop is report ed short, there are enough peaches and pnplos in thf county to call for a large number of fruit jars and it is thought hat no such accusations as were charged in another year will be preferred this summer. m. r Mr. Bovte'a Book Are Perfect Mr. J. H. Boyte, city secretary and tasurer, hs figured out a method sf book-keeping that i second to rone In the country. Ho has a in rilifled "tetbod, he form for which Y.f mne himself, nnd the work of ever department is shown In a man ner thit may be readily seen by any VHy who wants such information. When a representative for bond pur chasers vis'ted Mr. Boyte's office a that they could buy an automobile. They secured a small Saxon roadster for $50. They, deliver telegrams in it and although it takes nearly all of their salary to keep it up they enjoy the vprk and are satisfied. They are also filiders. Before they acquired the UI14 "palace on . wheels" they owned two motorcycles which they sold, being unable to keep thorn up. On eery street coiner they have to stop and make repairs wl ich is doubtless due to the fact that they only buy anywhere from a quart to 10 gallons of gasoline at a time and the times are rather far apart and the quantity is scarce with them. They enjoy this and have more fun out of this dilapidated tin can than many of us could have in a limousine. How many could do that with only :?50 and a monthly salary of $20 apiece? Outlook for Cotton Prices Good Mr. J. E. Stack, cotton dealer, be lieves that the outlook for prices is extremely good. He states that the stocks of cotton at the ports and in terior cities are the smallest in ten years. Last year, this date, accord ing to Mr. Stack, there was more cot ton at Memphis than . now t Mem phis, Houston, Augusta and Savan nah. He tsays New York has the biggest stock of any port, about two hundred thousand bales. Last year at this date, New Orleans had four hun dred and seventy-five thousand against One hundred and sixty thous and now, and Galveston had three hundred and seventy thousand against one hundred and forty thousand to day. This, Mr. Stack states, is due to better demand now than a year ago, due to the fact that the short crop of last year has been used up and the reserve of former years is already !S0ME LOCAL HAPPENINGS I Mr. J.
