The t car, a thirty-horse power Cadil e lac, was driven by Eugene a Smith, a boy about thirteen F years of age. and a brother of Mr. e Claude Smith, of Ottaray Mills. D There was not a single "hitch" s in the trip although made over some of the roughest of Green o ville, Spartanburg and Union . county roads..

Messrs. T. M. Marchant and sClaude Smith, of this city, ac companied him on this trip. j Union Progrees. Selling Cocaine. - On what seems to be reliable j information it is learned that the - law as to the sale of cocaine is r being openly and flagrantly vio lated in the Hollow Creek sec tion of this county. It is stat . ed that negroes are sent forth - through the land retailing the deadly drug, and the effect up on the farm hands has become something awful. One negro 1 is said to have had in possesion a as much as $12.00 worth at one a time. I The matter has been reported Jto the officers of the law and drastic measures will be used to 1 run the criminals down. This e is one of the most serious viola i tions of law, and the guilty par ties will be punished severely, if I they are caught.-Lexington - Dispatch. Farmers and Futures 3 Those farmers who have sold their cotton for next fall delivery are in bad luck. People have been known to sell their cotton - for future delivery, but as a rule they get left. The principal ob 1 ject of the exchange manipula tors in buying cotton for future delivery is to get enough in hand to control the balance. The f spot price for October and No > vember is generally a little in > advance of what the bulk of the r October and November futures t have been bought for.-York - ville Enquirer. a Acres of Tomatoes. 3 T.

Frierson received a telegram from Spartanburg today saying that her nephew, Ogilvie Frierson, a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. 0. Frierson of Spar tanburg, was drowned together with Miss Mary Freeland, while out rowing on the little Miami river, at Towerbill, near Cincin nati, Ohio, yesterday afternoon. The parents of the lad have gone to Cincinnati from Spartanburg and the body will be brought back there for interment. A party of young people had gone up the river boating and in this boat there were four, the others besides young Frierson and Miss Freeland being Rich ard Haddox, aged 14, and Ruth Peale, aged 14, both of Wyom ing, 0. The Haddox and Frier son boys were rowing. Miss Freeland wanted to row and took the place of one of the boys. Slowly the boat drifted into a swift part of the river, which ran over a dam. The boys grab bed hold of the oars in an at tempt to save the party, but this was impossible, and it went over the dam. As the boat shot out over the dam the girls shrieked and cried for help. Af ter it fell into the awful pool, Ruth Peale and the Haddox boy swam sturdily for the shore. Miss Freeland could not swim, and the Frierson boy, who swam to her, was caught in a sort of whirlpool with her and both went down, never to rise. The Frierson boy was visiting his aunt, Mrs. May Peale )f Wyoming. Young Frierson was a bright and interesting boy and his death is a heavy blow to the parents. Eighteen months ago he spent some time in Greece, having gone there with one of his Greek friends of Spartan burg, and was on a visit to his grandmother in Cincinnati when he was drowned. He is a cousin of Messrs. Eddie and Robert Frierson of this city. His father Mr E. 0. Frierson, formerly liv ed in Anderson, and his many friends and relatives here are dis tressed over his bereavement. Anderson Mail. Highland Moccasin On Hen's Nest Mrs. Sallie Brown, of Indian Hill Township went out into her yard not long since to look after her hens. On a nest she saw what she took to be a strange looking hen-Mrs. Brown does not see well, without her glasses -and attempting to "shoo" the hen off. The supposed hen did not like the "shooing" process and began to peck at Mrs. Brown. She went into the house and called her daughter out to run the strange hen off the nest and when the daugter arrived on the scene instead of a hen on the nest she found an immense hi
