McCormick Deprived of Depot. The town of McCormick needs a depot but will not allow a wood en structure erected near the busi ness square. The C. and W.'C. railroad is willing to erect a wood en depot but refuses.to erect one of bricks. The torn appealed to the Railroad Commission, and Chairman Caugbman replied that the Commission had no authority to say what kind of material a railroad must use in building its depots. Thus the matter stands. Neighborhood Picnic. The neighbors for several miles around gathered at the home of Mr. Robert Griffis and had a roy al old-fashioned picnic and bar becue on yesterday. I be farmers have worked very hard this year and it is meet and proper that neighbors should come together aft'-r the crops have been "laid by" and have a good time socially.

He-planted three acres after the Williamson plan this year and has fertilized it very heavily, All sorts of estimates have been made by persons who have seeu if. Mr. Williamson, the originator of this modern method, was at Ridge Spring a short time ago and went out lo see Mr. Elkins' corn, and in his judgment, the three acres will yield 500 bushels, which will be one hundred and sixty-odd bushels per acre. The Advertiser mau would be satisfied with just half au aero of the Elkins corn. The Convention at Rehoboth. Tho Sunday School Convention that was held at Rehoboth last week was a great convention.

Decidedly one of the most pros perous farmers, among the small farmers of the county^ is Mr. Sam Doro, who resides near McKeu dree church. Mr. Dorn brought a bale of cotton to market ou Fri day and sold it for 13:20, reali zing $64.68 for the bale. He not only his, four moro bales of cotton at home but he does not owe a cent to anybody. AH the expenses of the present crop have been paid lu cash. Mr. Dorn is a very prosperous farmer and would be a very happy mau if-he had a wife. A good wife is all he lacks. The Woodmen's Barbecue. Probably the most prosperous Camp of the Woodmen of the World to be.found iu this section of the state is at Red Hill. It not only has a good membership, from the standpoint of numbers, but the character of the membership is far abovR the average. Many of the best citizens to be found in the county have been astride the Woodmen's "goat" at Red Hill. For the pleasure of their friends, as well as for their owu enjoy ment, the membere of the Red Hill Camp gave a delightful bar becue on Friday last. Everything nice to eat was prepared in great abundance. The feature of the day was a magnificent address by Hon. T. G. Talbert upon Wood craft, recounting the great benefits that thia fraternal order has been to humanity. Large Barn Destroyed by Fire. About three o'clock ou Wednes day last lightning struck one of the large barns of Mr. J. R. Can telou and se't it on fire. The sec ond and third stories were filled with oats in the bundle and other highly inflammable produce, con sequently almost in lesa time than it takes to relate it flames were bursting from the building. For tunately, Mr. Cantelou was very near the barn when the loud clap of thunder came and looked at once to see if the building had been struck. Finding it on fire, hp called to his hands near bv and they bridled the mules and horses in great baste. Almost before they got the four mules and four horses out of the loft, the building was' completely enveloped in flames. Had the lightning struck at uight or while Mr. Cantelou was in the field, all of bis stock would have been destroyed with the building. One horse was severely shocked by the elee'ricity but recovered in s^v^ral hours. A crib that was in close proximity to the barn was also destroyed. Mr. Cautelou's total loss was betweeu $1,200 and $1,400, which was covered by in surance to the extent of $750. Mr. Cantelou has another large cattle barn-a tourist hotel for cattle-in which he can house his mule? and horses until he rebuilds the burned barn. Not only will this tourist hotel, fashioued after Noah's ark, accommodate his stock but that of the neighbor hood also. Long Live The King I is the popular cry throughout European countries; while i?
