'Mr. John McColl, son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. McColl, who is
traveling salesman for the International
harvester company
in three counties in South Carolina
and four in North Carolina*
was in town Sunday and
Monday. He says Chesterfield
county has the best crops he has
seen anywnere, and that the
prospect is brighter here than in
any county he has been in.
'Fire destroyed Mr. J. L. Mcln*iis'
?aw mill, shingle mill, nearly
fcOtfOO shingles and fifteen or
Eighteen thousand feet of lumber
on Tuesday night of last
week about 10 o'clock. The
mills are located on Mr. W. E.
Courtney's land two miles west
of town. Mr> Mclnnis had not
been gone ftom the mill more
than ahOlit 30 minutes when he
discovered that it was on fire.
Wfe always goes or sends someone
to see that there is no fire to
be seen before he retires. The
fire seems to have started at the
shingle mill and by the time
help arrived on the scene noth- j
ing could be done to save it. A
_ Mi
smaii amount ot lumber was
saved. The machinery is badly
damaged* but is not entirely
ruined He estimates his loss at
about $1,200.00. There was no
insurance. The origin of the
fire is not known.
While Mr. James Rodgers, of
Buford township, who has just
recently returned from the United
States army where he served
out his enlistment, was m PageSand
he had some fun by reason
t>f the uniform he wore. He ap
proached two or three negroes
and began asking questions. He
took their ages, height, weight,
^l^then told them that/the
winy
'thouj^^Ky wduld do alright
and flJRhey would soon be
carriSi to Mexico. The negroes'

and witl^tme accord they began
to make excuses. Some said
they wouldn't have to go for
they lived over in Lancaster
county, and one said, "I can't go
I has fits."
Mr. H. N. Askins swapped his
'possum dog to Mr. G. H. Watts
for his bird dog one day last
weeK and gave him seven dollars
and a half to boot. Mr. Watts
carried his rope to bring his dog j
back, after he had been assured j
by Mr. Askin that the dog was |
perfectly harmless and that he
would positively not bite a
stranger. Very cautiously opening
the door, a little at a time,
speaking in the tenderest tones
all the while, he began at last to
see how dead that dog was and
his state of mind underwent a
very sudden change. Quickly
he saw the joke and asked Roy
Blakeney to go with him and
carry Askins' blamed check back
to him. In telling about it Mr.
Watts said, "I wasn't darned
fool enough to come right back
through town. I came around and
avoided Askins and his gang."
Later in the day Mr. Watts
traded the same dog to Mr.
Frank Smith for a dollar's worth
of locks. Mr. Smith took his
rope and went in search of the
dog. Lige Seegers had carried
him off, but Mr. Smith went on
to the field determined to have
that dog. Lige told him the dog
was down there in the swamp.
Mr. Smith insisted that Lige call
the dog but Lige thought he was
trying to get a joke on him.
Finally when the negro saw that
Mr. Smith was in dead earnest,
he began to laugh, and finally
between chuckles he managed
to|say, "Dat dog done dea-ad
and buried in de swamp."
The locks pre still Mr. Smith's
