Cotton Season Opens Two Weeks Earlier Than Average
The 1827 cotton crop opened Monday two weeks ahead of the typical start as three bales of new cotton were marketed. Wash Norris, a colored farmer on Miss Kare Tirriffin's place, won the premium for the first bale. George Jigkeon and John Sutton each produced notable bales bought by local merchants, with prices around 1914 and 15% respectively. Donations flowed for the first sale premium fund as more bales arrived shortly after. The article notes the opening date and lists earlier reference points in history.
