The 20 percent, discount sale of
the J. M. Anderson Co. is meeting
with splendid success. At a time
when merchandise is mounting with
the crest not in sight, it is something
cut of the ordinary for a merchant
to offer his goods for almost cost
price. Consumers are quick to recognize
the bargains and the sales are
heavy.
Wade Hampton / Gibbes, chief
game warden, in his supplementary
report of the activities of his office
during the calendar year of 1919 to
the governor and the general assembly,

taxes are collected now for 1920 and
the exemption' for road taxes and

Col. Jim Taggart was up from Mt.
Carmel last week and told a good one
on Uncle Pat McCaslan. Col. Taggart
says that one of the old-time
tenants on the McCaslan place,
(which was recently sold by Uncle
Pat) was coming to town, and that
he Col. Taggart, got into the wa
gon and rode up with the old colored
man. As they drove along the old
fellow got to talking about the old
times, and the old place, and giving
Colonel Jim some history about matters
pertaining to the old homestead,
Finally, the old man said to Col.
Taggart: "I tell you Mas' Pat done
made a great mistook."
When asked what the trouble was
the old negro replied: "He done sold
all this fine plantashun an moved up
ter toun and got it all in munny, and
he aint doin nuthin but playin kyards
wiff Mister Stark and Mister Greene,
and the old man aint smart ernuff tc
stan up aginst 'em) and they gwinei
git all that air munny. They toe
sharp for Mas' Pat."
Col. Taggart thought this would be
mighty bad, if it happened, and sc
expressed himself.
"Yes,"-said the old darkey, "and
if they dont git it all jist let him trj
Mr. Wade Cothran, and then thej
wont be nune left at all."

j Bill_Lomax, a negro b^ricklayei
employed on the new store being
built at the corner of Church an.'
Vienna Streets, was knocked from
the scaffolding Thursday afternoon
about 3 o'clock, when he touched i
high voltage wire and fell into a
pile of rocks, bruising himself about
the head and body. His condition i;
serious but is not thought to be
fatal. There is a current of 230C
volts in wires on Vienna Sreet and
the insulation on these wires is nc
protection if good connection is
made with the ground. It is not
thought that the shock greatly injured
Lomax, but that it was he
; fall caused by the unexpected shock.

Mrs. Jas. S. Cochran has just received
a shipment of new hats foi
early spring wear. The habit oi
I "rushing" the seasons has just about
.reversed the order of things in
Roman's headwear. Spring hats are
J now worn in winter and winter hats
in the early fall. But the hats arc
good to look upon at that, seasonable
in season and out of season,
