Springs for Governor.
Col. Homes B. Springs, according
to a story in the Greenville Piedmont,
is being urged by friends in
every part of the State to enter the'
gubernatorial race next year. He ad-'
mils having received numerous offers
of support in this connection, but
Sates that he has given no definlto
answer to his friends. Col. Springs (
was discharged from the military
service in April, after having served
more than twenty years. He was one
of the best known and most popular
officers of the Thirtieth Division,
serving in France as commander of
ti'fains with this division, also as acting
division quartermaster and acting

v >^\\ Tom from Body.
Was Spurgeon Blackmon, a
young man empolyed at the Springs
Banking and Mercantile company's
ginnery at Heath Springs, who was
caught in the machinery Monday afternoon
and had his left arm torn
entirely from Ills body. The accl-j
dent occurred about 4:30 o'clock and
he was taken on the .1-30 train In a I
hospital at Vtock Hill. There was no
eye witness to the tragedy and Mr.
Blackmon had not sufficiently recovered
from the shock when he left
to give any particulars of how It occurred,
but it is supposed that in attempting
to remove a belt from a
pulley his arm was caught in it and
that his clothing caught In the shafting
as when he was found his arm
was wrapped tightly In the belt and
his body lying about eight feet from
it stripped of all his clothing except
shoes and hose; the clothing was
found wrapped around the shaft.

After passing a bill with a rider and
over President Wilson's veto the daylight

been against the new time since its

Hlg Peas
Mr. C. H. McCoy, of McBee,
brought a handful of peas ta Chesterfield
this week that, because of the
exceptional size of the pods, attaracted
considerable attention, says Chesterfielti
Advertiser. They are known
as the Coker Variety Speckled Peas.
O pod containing 21 peas. Mr. McCoy
bought a gallon of these seed
two years ago for a dollar. From that
start he gathered from his first crop
5,000 pounds from two* acres this
summer and his second crop is well
along toward maturity. No fertilizer
whatever was used. As seed the peas
will bring $4.00 per bushel, leaving
much good hay and enriching the!
soil besides.
Flcec?sl of 9HOO. 1
Says The Kershaw Era:?On Saturday
last. Hansom Harris, a colored
tenant on R. L. Sowell's place,
came to town to sell a bale of cotton,
and while here it seems that he fell
among thieves. At least he was approached
by two members of his own
race, who were unknown to him
further than that one of them called
himself John. Just exactly how they
managed it Ransom does not tell, but
they succeeded in getting from him
the 2 50 dollars he received for his
cotton and $50 additional advanced
to him by Mr. Sowell. Whatever the
game was by which they fleeced him,
the arrangement was that they were
to meet Ransom at the Hank at 5
o'clock that evening but failed to
meet their engagement. The suspicion
is that they obtained the
money on the promise of enhancing
its denominational value and skipped
with the money as soon as they were
out of sight of Ransom.
Mac Truesdel Arrested
Mac Truesdel, colored, was arrested
at Kershaw Saturday night and
detained in the guard house there
until he was transferred to jail at
Lancaster. It seems that Truesdel
claimed to have knowledge of the
stealing of the Buick car from E.
Coke Bridges at Heath Springs and
on Saurday afternoon Policeman
Vincent of that town went to Kershaw
and attpmnlwl tn

Truesdel made his get-a-way, leaving
part of one shirt sleeve and his
hat behind. That night policeman
t'rawford and C. E. Williams, watched
the Truesdel home and succeeded
in arresting him. He was locked up
until Policeman Vincent brought him
to Lancaster Jail. Truesdel dcnipd
later having any knowledge of The
theft of the automobile, but made
several conflicting statements about
it. /
