In that neck of the woods they use* to plant a farm of cotton and j J "patch" of cabbage; but C. E. Wilki j lives four miles from the town o j McCormick on the Plum Branch roa and has planted his farm in trucl this year and only a."patch" of cot ton. He brought to the city of Abbe ville yesterday a ton of the fines cabbage. They were sacked in jut bagging and sold to the merchant here by the pound. He uses a moto: truck for travel, and an oilclotl I cover as a protection from the weath ;er. From the 3% acres planted ii cabbage he has sold $500 to date an< expects to make $800 clear profit or this one crop alone. 1 Mr. Wilkie has two and a hall acres planted in fall Irish potatoes the Lookout Mountain variety, anc will get about 200 bushels to th< acre on this crop. Some of these will sell as low as $1.80 a bushel anc others will bring as high as $2.5C a bushel, which should net hira $1,000 on the fall crop of potatoes. He has beans and other crops in proportion. Several days ago he sold 400 lbs. of beans at one time in Greenwood. Everything made on his farm is practically clear profit, as he hires only one wages hand. He keeps three cows, a pair of mules, makes all oi the feed used for the stock, and all of the meat, flour and general rations for his family at home. There are undoubtedly other gold mii\es in McCormick ^Jounty than the old Dorr mines, if the owners will get busj and dig the gold out of the ground Mr. Wilkie learned to grow cabbage in North Carolina. He move<J to McCormick County .from neai Hendersonville several years ago anc bought tjiis 54 acre farm, in partner ship with his brother, from Clarenc< Crawford, and is making a succes; of 'farming. Being questioned as to the finesl production on his farm, he was ab solutely right when he replied "M] six children, the oldest of whom i: twelve." There you have a world o: truth in a few words. If it costs as much to fight the bol weevil whether cotton yields on< bale or a third of a bale per acre what's the answer? Build the .soil.

HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE L IN MINE EXPLOSION s Believed That List of Victims Will Total Fifty?Thirty Survivor# Taken to Hospital. >- Spangler, Pa., Nov. 7.?More than 1. 50 miners are believed to have lost i: their lives in an explosion- in Reilly a J mine of the Reilly Coal company e j near here yesterday morning. Ex f ploration of the workings by trained d rescuers was being continued tok night. None of the dead had been > brought to the surface at 10:30 o'clock. -I Thirty survivors of the explosion, t'most of them young men, lay on a e double row of cots in the miners' s hospital here tonight anxiously watch r ing the entrance to the big room. 1 They were the known survivors of - the 94 miners who went into the i mine this morning a few minutes 1 J before a terrific explosion. The i! exact number of dead was still unI determined although it was the opinl ion of trained rescue leaders that , perhaps 50 or 60 had lost their lives. I Their vigil began when the first !(eight were brought to the hospital. II The entrance of the stretcher bearers I meant that another comrade had > I been dragged from an underground t sea of gas. At 7:20 o'clock yesterday morning II the explosion occurred in the heart [ of the mine. As soon as miners from i neighboring pits could reach the mine preliminary work of rescue bei gan and it was supplemented later in i the day by trained engineers from ! the United States bureau of mines : in Pittsburgh and the rescue crews 1 vf neighboring mines. The rescue men all told the same story as th%y came to the surface, i They declared bodies were scattered i through the workings for more than r 500 feet. "The sad part of it," said one sturdy miner, "is that at least 20 of I the victims were within 100 feet of j r fresh air when they were overcome 1 by the gas." 'Every effort tonight was being i made to locate all of the living. As J soon as that has been done the work of removing the dead will commence. t - FLAMES DESTROY ' 7 HISTORIC HOUSE 3 t Home Where Dick Fortner is Alleged to Have Been Killed By Klantmen Burnt -? I ?
