Most of the farmers who are growing potatoes for commercial purposes, began digging their crop Monday morning and in most instances the yields are said to be satisfactory, ranging from 200 to 250 bushels per acre. The potatoes are being stored in crates holding one bushel each. Lancaster Citizen, October 26: Mrs. Nannie Hunter, wife of Mr. Will Hun ter of the Beiuown section, aiea at her home there this morning. Burial services will be conducted at lower Camp Creek Methodist church, of which deceased was a member. She is survived by her husband and five or six small children. .Mrs. Hunter was 87 years old. She was a daughter of Mr. A. H. Carter... Fifteen veterans of the Confederate army from Lancaster county took advantage of the generous offer made by the railroads to furnish a trip to the state fair, and they left here Tuesday morning. Most of them will return some time today. Several hundred veterans from over the state were in Columbia mingling with the other throngs at the fair and exchanging among themselves reminiscences of the "big war," none of them being willing to concede that the late European scrimmage had anything on their war for size or ferocity. "First free ride since I left Appomattox." one fellow remarked "It will be tflAlJ JCUIO IIVAI JUllUtU 3IIIV.V X IllOk saw Kingville," said Veteran Ervin Rowell when the train stopped there Tuesday morning on its way to Columbia. Mr. Rowell with a baker's dozen other veterans from this county were en route to the state fair as guests of the railroad and the state fair association. "The depot has changed wonderfully," he continued, "and the fields and farm houses look different, but these old swamp3 look | Just like they did then. And I reckon they will look just like this fifty years from now." Chaster Reporter, October 26: Rock ] Hill High players claim, according to | The Yorkville Enquirer, that they | were not showing all of their stuff in j the game with the P. C. freshmen, but ' were saving their best for the big bat- | tie with Chester on November 10th. I They'll need it Chester Com- j mandery No. 7, Knights Templar, had ! a delightful banquet Tuesday evening, with 133 present. A feature of the evening was the initiation of 22 candidates. The banquet was served by the ladies of the First Baptist church. Winthrop Training school, which Is scheduled to play the Chester High school eleven here tomorrow after- | noon, made ah effort this morning to Cancel the game, on the ground that the Winthrop Training schocl aggregation is young, light and inexperienced, and no match for the Chester team; but Superintendent Brockman has taken the matter up with the Hock Hill authorities and hopes to have the game played With Collins and Tolleson playing at top form, as they | are doing now, Massebeau in the line, and the Brices, Stone, Kennedy, McKinch and the others playing the ball they are capable of. Rock Hill is not * ?<- fevatifo ?.v n?i ? the least. It is reported, and is undoubtedly a fact, that Rock Hill has a flrst-class team, but they are going to have the battle of their young lives to take association championship honors away from the Magill team Mr. James Christor Robinson, who had : been sick with typhoid fever four ! Weeks, died at 3:30 o'clock Tuesday ! morning at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Robinson, at Rod- | man. Mr. Robinson was living at Ma yesville at the time he was taken ill. but came to Rodman a few days later to be with home-folks. For a while it seemed that his disease would ! yield to treatment, but he had a bad spell Sunday, and from that time 01 grew steadily weaker. A peculiarly sad feature is that Mr. Robinson's only , child, little 3-year-old Elizabeth, is also ill with the same disease, though ^ we are glad to state shows evidence of | k I I Improvement, and it is thought will rei cover. | Gaffney Ledger, October 28: Messrs. E. H. Thomas of Spartanburg, and William E. Woodman of Staunton, Mass., are in ti.e city installing a new j make of loom in the Gaffney Manufac- ! turing company's plant. This loom is i I the very latest product in the weaving I world, and is being demonstrated throughout the cloth-making centers. I All arrangements have been com- : I plcted for the entertainment of the delegates to the Methodist conference, which convenes in Gaffney on Noveml J ber 8. Each delegate has been as! signpd a home and a post card bearing the name of the host has boen | mailed to each one The United Daughters of the Confederacy of GaffI ney are a wideawake and progressive | body of women. They believe in transmitting to generations yet unborn the knowledge of the deeds of valor per formed by the Confederate soldiers on the field of battle, and with that Idea in view they are actually at work organizing chapters of the U-. D. C. wherever possible. Last Wednesday Mrs. It. C. Sarratt, vice president of the South Carolina division. U. D. C.: Mrs. H. M. Brown, president of the Moses Wood chapter; Mrs. W. H. ; Smith, historian of the Moses Wood chapter, and Mrs. C. H. Robbins journeyed over to Cowpens for the purpose of presenting the matter to the ladies of that town who are eligible for membership. They were greeted bv an audience of twenty-five or more | | and made lucid explanation of the necessary steps to be taken to organize a chapter, the result being that Cowpens has made application for a charter and will soon have a chapter. In referring, to the visit of the ladies to Blacksburg last Monday for the purpose of presenting the matter, The Ledger reporter was unfortunate in ijsing the expression "unsuccessful." The truth is that the meeting was altogether successful and the ladies of Blacksburg have also ^.pplied for a charter, and they, too, will soon have a chapter. With the several U. D. C. chapters in this section working harmoniously to perpetuate the memory of the greatest soldier the world ever knew there is every reason to hope that lasting good may be accomplished. Mention was made in a previous issue of The Ledger of Sheriff Watkins locating a horse down in Union county that was stolen from L. O. Revis, Warrenton, N. C., and the thief naving since aiea. inursaay .vir. iwvis, accompanied by Sheriff Watkins, made formal demand for the animal from its present owner, J. S. Pickens, but all litigation in the matter was waived, by Mr. Revis paying $75 for the animal The revival which has been in session at the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church for the past several days will draw to a successful close with a sermon by the pastor, Rev. C. A. Kirby, to be delivered Sunday night. The sermons up to the present time have been Tar reaching in their text and have been delivered to the largest congregations that Mr. Kirby has preached to since coming t/^ P.offnav Gastonia Gazette, October 27: MarkI ing an epoch not only for the commuI nity in which it was held but for the entire county, as well was the banquet given at Sunnyside school house on Thursday night when Thomas S. Roy ster, one of the county's leading citizens, was host to fifty business inen and farmers of the county and when there was launched a movement looking to the establishment of the first rural library in North Carolina. That the spirit manifested there will result in the early realization of this splendid plan is not to be doubted. With the progressive citizens of Sunnyside committed to give the first $1,000 towards this project, the live business and professional men from other sections of the county took advantage of the opportunity to swell the library fund by several hundred dollars before leaving.

Putnam, charged with the killing of j Andy Carpenter in Cherryville on September 30, returned a verdict in i superior court this afternoon of not guilty. The jury's verdict sustained the contention of the defense that Putnam was acting in self-defense when he shot Carpenter. In prosecuting the state did not ask for a verdict of first j degree murder, but sought a conviction of either second degree murder or manslaughter. Solicitor Clarkson was assisted by Messrs. Carpenter & Carpenter of Gastonia, and Chas. A. Jo- j nas, of Llncolnton. The defense was represented by O. F. Mason of Gasto- j nia, Matthew A. Stroup of Cherryville, and O. Max Gardner of Shelby. The taking of testimony was concluded on ; Thursday afternoon and argument was ! begun. Mr. Thomas E. Robinson of Gastonia, and Miss Gillie Robinson of High Shoals, were united in mar- I riage Thursday afternoon at the home of the bride in High Shoals, the ceremony being witnessed by a number of relatives and friends. Immediately | following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Robinson left on a bridal trip to New York and other northern cities. Cleveland Star (Shelby), October 27: Elliott <fc Son, who have the contract for the hard surfaced road from King's Mountain to Shelby, are now grading through the golf course at Cleveland Springs, and are working L'5 teams and 35 men.

Con-, tractors have 300 working days to complete the job. which is practically a year and a half and it is expected that it will take fully that long Rev. J. Marcus Kester may leave the pastorate of the First Baptist church to become educational secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist convention. Mr. Kester was elected to this high and important position last week at a meeting of t the board in Richmond, Ya., and he received notice of the election last Sunday. The notice was quite a surprise to him for he had declined two positions offered him sorue months ago by ! the foreign mission board. One posl- | tion was tiffs same secretaryship and the other was the headship of a Baptist school in Palestine, which would j have necessitated his leaving mis country Two stores were robbed of great quantities of merchandise at Ellenhoro last Wednesday night and a negro named Will Smith, v.as taken off of a Seaboard freight yesterday morning at Shelby with clothing, shoes, etc., which were stolen from the stores of Harrlll & McKinney. It is thought there were three negroes in the robbery and that they secured between $500 and $600 worth of merchandise. A brakeman on the Seaboard i arrested Smith and turned him over to officers Jim Hunter and Mclirydc Posten here yesterday morning. Ellenboro officers came for him yesterday at 11 o'clock and took him to the Rutherford jail. Another one o'" the ' negroes was arrested on the train at Lincolnton by the brakeman, but he made his escape. It is reported that t hese negroes nl'O burned an empty i store building in Xo. 2 township Wednesday night. REASON FOR ARGUMENT Nineteen Deadheadr, On Train and Conductor Couldn't Help It. When Mr. and Mrs. Frank 11. Cott, parents of five sets of triplets and two sets of twins got aboard a train at La Porte, Ind., the conductor thought it was a Sunday school class. "Wc can't carry a whole Sunday school class on two adult tickets," the conductor said. "Cut these aren't Sunday school children, they're all our own," Mrs. Cott replied. She insisted all the ' children were under the ten-year limit and entitled to travel free. Mr. and Mrs. Cott have been married ten years. They wish to make their home on a big farm i'n the we st, where there will be "a plenty of room," according to Mr. Cott. ?
