Lately several articles have been published in different public prints concerning fast cotton pickers. On this subject we have an item too, and one of which, all things considered, is worth printing. We are more than credibly informed that little Lee PIPKIN, only four and a half years old, and whose weight is just thirty six pounds, picked in nine hours forty two pounds of cotton from a field that was in only moderate condition! Lee is the son of Stephen PIPKIN, of this county. Good boy!
