Cliffside Has Enough Cotton
This just in. Sometimes, when not much is happening, newspaper editors will really reach to find something to fill space. This little item appeared in The Gaffney Ledger on November 18, 1922.
Cliffside Has Enough Cotton
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.
One would think the editor would know how to correctly spell the name of a town just eleven miles away!
Thanks to Nancie O’Sullivan of Spartanburg, S.C., for sharing.
