This just in. Sometimes, when not
much is happening, newspaper editors will really reach to find something
to fill space. This little article appeared in The Gaffney Ledger on November 18, 1922. Thanks to Nancie O'Sullivan of Spartanburg,
S.C., for sharing it.
From Cliffside — Mr. Wall, a deputy sheriff from Cliffsides,
N. C., who is connected with the cotton mills at that place, was in
Gaffney yesterday and when asked about conditions in his community
said that the mills are doing a good business and that they have accumulated
enough cotton to keep the machinery running for many months. He further
said that practically all of the cotton between Gaffney and Cliffsides
has been gathered and that many of the farmers are plowing under the
stalks as soon as the cotton has been picked.
