BETTER THAN TEXAS
 
H. M. DIGGS of Anson County has two boys, brothers, that picked on different 
days this season the following weights of cotton: 730; 714; 612; 603; 578; 572.
 
MR. DIGGS has just returned home from Texas where he had been to find 
a "better place and a better country" is perfectly satisfied with the Old 
North State. He says he would not take five hundred dollars for the trip. This 
statement was made to me by MR. DIGGS on Monday last.
