Lancaster News, Jan. 18: Mrs. H. K.
;Barr and Miss Lula Pfttman spent
Saturday in Columbia attending: the
funeral of their uncle, John Green
t Sims, of that city. Mr. Sims was a
g-uest of his, niece. Mrs. Burr (Turin.?

Mrs. Leroy ; Springs have returned
from a stay of several weeks in Now
York Judge Ernest Moore is in
Charleston for a three week's term of
court ^Dr. J. B. Johnson, of Rock
Hill, met with the Lancaster county
cotton tanners at ine cuuuhuusc }^terday
ancl urged the importance of
presenting a united front toward reducing
the acreage of cotton in .Lancaster
county during the coming year.
In a very forceful address he showed
his audience the actual need of the
farmer not planting more than onethird
of his cultivated land in cotton,
which need he said was caused by the
' inability of countries that formerly
used cotton to buy or even get within
' their borders the cotton a few years
ago they were getting from America.

Chester Reporter, Jan. 17: Harry
Webb and Albert Modlln two of the
fire young men arrested in Rock Hill
in connection with the robbery of
Westbrook & McNeil's store near Lando
and other crimes, were brought
from Rock Hill this morning by Deputy
Sheriff James G. Howze and
committed to jail. The other three
are wanted for the theft of a Winthrop
student's trunk, and are in jail
at. York Mr. F. B. Fitch, a former
resident of Chester, is here to buy cotton
for the American Export and Import
Corporation, and will 'have headquarters

for all grades of cotton, and if he is
able to secure a sufficient amount of
the staple will be here permanently.
The city's filter plant was considerably
damaged by fire early Friday
morning, the fire originating in an
automatic electric switch and spreading
to all parts of the filter house
when N the oil . in which the contacts
are encased exploded, thus throwing
the burning liquid over the machinery
and to all parts of the room. All
t 4u?<the pumps were put out of com*
niiSsion, and" the auxiliary plant had
to: be brought into play. However,
one of the pumps was got into running
shape within a few hours, and a temporary
roof was put on the- building
Saturday, and the premises cleaned
off. Further work will be deferred until
the arrival of the insurance adjusters.
The city carries $1,500 insurance
on the building, and $5,500 011 the
machinery. The fire was much more
serious than generally thought, and
with a little more headway would have
occasioned far more serious damage
than was the case Mr. G. F. Love.
the son of Mr. S. L. Love of Lowry;
ville. who served several months in
the war, and Miss Lillio Cunupp, the
daughter of Mr. D. E. Canupp. one of
Bullock's Creek's most charming:
young ladies were happily united in
. marriage Wednesday night, January
12th at 7.30 o'clock by Rev. J. H. Varborough
The receipt of large
orders by the Baldwin and Springstein
Mills is not only a local manifestation
of a return to "normalcy"
?the same thing is reported from
most of the mills throughout this section,
and means that the worst is over,
and that conditions arc beginning to
mend. While things may never get
back just to where they were, so far
as the price of cotton is concerned,
the indications are that the extreme
sluggishness that has prevailed for
the last few months will soon disappear,
and the money part, the industrial
world, and things generally will
move along at a livelier clip, to the
good old tune of prosperity A
small still and a quantity of mash
were discovered in the home of Israel
Miller, colored, on the Lancaster road
Saturday afternoon by county oflicers.
Miller had previously been arrested
by city officers on a charge of
transporting. Miss Mabel Roberts,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Roberts,
of the Armenia section, was buried
yesterday at New Hop" M. E.
church graveyard the service being
conducted by Rev. Mr. Bouhvare. Miss
Roberts died in Columbia The
ihni i,? inn,i,, i,v
some ot' the citizens of the eastern j
side of the county tn prevent that section's
being transferred to York county?not
that they have anything particularly
against York county, but just
doesn't care to be transferred from
Chester?serves to accentuate a condition
of affairs that is very likely to ,
arise, if the proposed change is ef- [
fected. Every time a citizen who is !
opposed to the change lias to make j
that thirty or forty mile jaunt to
Yorkville, or has to pay taxes based
upon a higher assessment basis, it will
be with no very friendly feeling for
the gentlemen who conceived and
contrived the scheme to gratify and
indulge some special interest of their
own, or allowed personal, petty spite
to actuate and govern them in planning
and engineering a campaign, the
successful outcome of which could
mean only a great amount of inconvenience
to u great Many citizens and
the satisfaction in their own minds
i
that thoy had accomplished what they
set out to do. Jt is very unfortunate
that some plan could not he arrived
at by which those so anxious to go?
to whom ties and traditions mean
nothing-?could betake themselves into
York county and those who desire to
maintain the old tics and associations
do so.

She had been feeling badly for sevenal
days and while sitting by the fire
early that morning she fainted, falling
into the fire and before her daughter
could reach her over ihrco-lifths ui
the surface of her body was severely
burned. Her condition at first was
extremely alarming, but her son Mr.
Basil Goode of this place, spent the
week end at her bedside and on his
return home reports that she is resting

the stockholders at the end of the

popular cashier and Mr. D. J. Hooter
is the efficient president. The annual
meeting was held Tuesday, at which
time $1,500 was placed to the surplus
fund, $400 to the reserve account and
a ten per cent, dividend paid on the
capital stock of $100,000. The surplus
fund of the bank is now equal to its
capital stock which enables it to accommodate
more and larger customers.
The reserve account is $900.
The bank is in a healthy condition and
one of the strongest banks in a town

The following officers were reelected:

Guatemala, in many ways the most,
important.of the five Central American l
republics, which figured prominently, in j
the news recently because of a pro- j
posal to the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee that the forced resignation
and subsequent imprisonment of President
Estrada Cabrera be investigated,
is the subject of a bulletin issued by
the National Geographic Society.
"Guatemala, which has been economically
and in a military sense one or
the most powerful of the five Central
imfirlnnn ovoi* tinrp it..\vaK the
seat of the old Spanish vice royal gov- i
ernment for the entire region, is a j
country both blessed and cursed by
coffee," says the bulletin. "Coffee is a
blessing to Guatemala in that it has
brought much money into the country
and. has made the plantation-owning
class exceedingly prosperous. The
United States is the chief source of
this prosperity, for the greater part of
the coffee produced is exported there?
enough in 1919, figuring 40 cups to the
pound, to furnish more than three billion
portions of the steaming beverage,
about thirty cups for every person
in the United States.
Raise Coffee: Let Other Riches Go.
"Coffee may be considered in a sense
a curse to Guatemala because its production
dominates every other activity
in the republic, and is the indirect
reason therefore for failure to develop
most of tlie country's other resources.
Though the plateau country of the
southwest apparently could be made to
produce wheat, flour is imported. A
number of other food products that
could be produced are also brought In
from outside. Cotton could be grown
on large areas but only a comparatively
small amount is produced. The
greater part of the cotton cloth and
yarn neeuea is imporicu. j ut; raioms
of cattle and sheep, the growing of almost
all tropical, semi-tropical, and
temperate zone fruits, and mining are
all industries that could be developed
most profitably.' North American enterprise
has in recent years built up a
heavy production of bananas in the hot
plains along the Atlantic coast, in a|
region formerly covered with jungle
and considered practically worthless.
The value of bananas exported now is
second only to that of coffee. In connection
with the development of the
banana country, Guatemala has obJ.

much greater than that of the territory

Indians Constantly in Debt to Planta- i

"Many of the Indian agricultural i
laborers though legally entirely free, |
arc habitually in debt to the owners of \
the great coffee plantations, and are .
brought back by the military ana
police if they escape, thd cost of their
apprehension being added to their
debts. Tiic only alternatives for the
more ignorant of the Indians are to
work under similar conditions for
another proprietor or to be impressed
into the army. The wages received by
the agricultural laborers are the equl

money of the United Slates.
