Three cents a pound for cotton seed is as much as they used to bring with the lint on. + Plenty of hay and winter crops for grazing are going to make the movement for more live stock move faster. ? Maybe the high price of cotton seed will draw so many of the seed to market that there will not be enough left to plant a big crop next spring. Some girls think it is stylish or becoming to droop the shoulders. A boy with ordinary gray horse sense and one eye knows better. There never was a pretty hump-shouldered girl. ?\ * Mr. or Mrs. or Miss Subscriber, if you dread the sight of a "dun," if you choose to call it that, now is your chance to escape such an awful fate. It is our purpose to mail out to each of you who are in arrears a statement of your account as it appears on our lists at a very early dateLook out for it. "Do you solemnly swear that vou are oualified to vote in this election; that you have not voted before, and that you will support the nominee of the partv, State and national?" Do - - you remember r.vcr iakmg?cin oath similar to the above? If you voted in the Democratic primary you doubtless have done so. Just what did vou mean then by supporting the nominees of the par*y? If you go about your business on the 7th of November and neglect to cast a vote for President Wilson and the State officers, what about your oath. Then don't yon feel it a duty to vote for the nominees of the partv that has given the country the best administration in the history of the country? As many votes as were cast in the primary should be' cast in the general election. Those fellows out west who hdvo moHo nrnri/1 Vl n rA r]/\t1nro AIM V v 111UUV f^w/u 11U1U uv/naio ! each year by growing hay and shipping to the people around Pageland might as well look out for other customers. We have quit 'em. A few years ago hay, corn and oats were bought by the car load, and sometimes almost hy the train load, by the people of this section, but this has changed now. Barns and sheds are bulging with hay and there are stacks of it on nearly every farm that could not be housed. The weather has been ideal for curing hay, and the quality of the Stuff is excellent. There is more hay in this section this fall than ever before. The westerner who depends on selling his hay to our farmers will be left 1 1- a ii - oeninu inis lime lor once. Cotton is bringing unheard of prices, but the farmers of this section learned a big lesson two years ago. They wili hardiy forget what a mammoth crop and a low price mean to the farmers. Thev will doubtless plant plenty of cotton next spring but they will remember that they can grow corn, hay, etc. cheaper than \\}W ca? buv it, Vernon Helms Tries to Commit Suicide (continued from page 1) succeeded in this once and was prevented on several occasions. An attendant and 3 nurse have been kept in the room constantly. Early Sunday morning about 4:30 Helms complained that one of his arms was paining him severely from the bandage. The attendant decided to loosen it a little and although this was contrary to instructions, it was done. Shortly after, this attendant had to step out of the room for a few minutes and when he returned, he found his charge missing. Doctor Brenizer was immediately aroused and the other attaches of the institution ii ?i ? A - were eaueu iuiu service. /\i first it was impossible to trace the missing man but the police were requisitioned and they helped. Helms did not have anything on when he left the hospital save a sheet that he snatched from the bed when he left. It was chilly and the worst was feared. Doctor Brenizer was certain that he would find his patient in some out of the way corner and when he was traced towards the Seaboard depot, it was thought that he would prob ably throw himself under a train or meet some other fearful end. The officers followed the trail and it led out the Seaboard road toward Monroe. The missing man was discovered where the road crosses Brier Creek two and one-half miles from the city about 5:30 o'clock. When the officers came upon him, he was approaching the stream. He said that he wanted a drink of water, although on account of his wound, he could not have drunk had he reached the bank. He was then asked 1 t T* ? wnere ne was going, ne replied that he wanted to see.his mother and sister before he died and that when he had seen them he wanted to return to Charlotte and give his life for the sins of the people here. ? < He made no strehtTOUt objections to returning and is again under a watchman's care at the hospital. Helms is said to be as crazy as a man can be and an effort is now being made to get him admitted to the State Insanse Asylum at Morganton. An English lord was visiting friends in Scotland. One evening while attending a dinner given iD his honor he met the little daughter of his host, who, though too well bred to stare, eyed him covertly as the occa sion presented itself, finally venturing a remark: "And you are really ^nd trulv an English lord?" ?? 1 ? 1 i e?, tie auswereu pieasaauy, ,4really and truly." "I have often thought I would like to see un English lord," she went on, "and?and " "And now you are satisfied,"lie interrupted, laughing. "N no," the littie miss replied truthfully, Tm not satisfied, I'm a good deal disappointed." The applicant for cook was untidy and insolent in appearance. "Don't hire her," whispered Jones to his wife; "I don't like her looks." "But," remonstrated his wife, "just consider the reputation .or cooking she bears." "That doesn't matter," said Jones testilv; "we don't want any she bears cooked; we don't like them. It was while they were building the Panama Canal.
