The heaviest infestation was noon, hopeful that if any of the 75 | found in young cotton near fields of employes of the two storM are still | old cotton. In Colleton county th$ imprisoned they may be rVached be- carefully poisoned fields still had less \ than 6 per cent infestation while the unpoisoned fields had an infestation of from 28 to 40 per cent.

Only three per sons were seriously injured. They were George De Groughy, manager of the three story Pizitz department store, the first to cave in, and the two Negro employes of the store. The other building crushed housed the Bul lock Shoe store, a one-story structure. Collapsing with hardly a moment’s warning, the two. upper stories of the three story Pizitz building crumbled over into an excavation on one side and onto the roof of a one-story shoe store, on the other. Employes of the stores managed to thread their way through the falling materials after a first crash had trapped some jof them in the rear of the building and the second floor of the department store. Police, firemen and pedestrian^ ru'hed into the buildings and man- phasizes the importance of continuing the poison program over the state as a whole. V’. ’ GREENWOOD COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO.

' I Cool, comfortable Underwear.: r ' Haven’t you often wished that you could be with friends who have moved to other cities? They may be far away, yet you can easily keep in touch with them; talk over old times, and make plans for the future. When they’re ill or when anniversaries and birthdays come around you can join them with your voice. Recent service improvements have made distant telephone conversations a pleasure. Generally, con nections are made almost as quickly as with local calls. In most cases you can hear just as clearly as if you were talking to a friend around the corner. I You’ll be surprised, too, to learn how inexpen sive these voice visits now are. At 8:30 o’clock in the evening, and again at midnight, reductions are made in the station-tO-station rates.
