C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. July 7, 1915 This writer ? equently makes the statement that with anything like favorable weather conditions during the remainder of the crop growing season the farmers in this section will be in better conditions this fall than if there had never been a war in Europe. Occasionally a man agrees, but more often they dis-1 n rvi*n<> W.* -*-? ? 41 ? . _ 4 ? ' vvf llliiM' Ul'-J JjlillCIIH'Ul because we see more corn, csuie, peas and other too J and feed crops growing than ever before, the crops are being made at about half the cost of former crops and the farmers will owe \?ry little of what they make this year. Tobacco growing has never been piacticed in this section of the county until this year. Onlv a few farmers tried it this time, but others are almost certain to follow the example set by Mr. C. L. Gulledge and others in setting a few acres in jtobacco. Mr. Gulledge has about nine acres around Guess and it is doing fine. Expert tobacco growers say it is as fine as any the3r have seen in the lower counties. It is claimed further by these tobacco men that this land is producing an excellent grade. If these favorable predictions hold, and Mr. Gulledge makes two or three hundred dollars an Mere, some of the old settlers ^H^^fc^ave persistently declared would not grow will be readv , for a ua huj question. We are hoping that Mr. Gulledge and the others who tried it will have abundant success in growing the filthy weed. Dnk., 13 ~11? \*:ii i ? ivuuj> iwuci mm uugan grinang flour last Thursday morning. The mill had just been installed and the plant was run continuously for 42 hours. A roller mill of the most improved type with a 25 horse Foose kerosene engine has been placed in the old Ruby Manufacturing building at a cost of something like $10,000, and now Ruby is sendin out to all parts of the country the first fine, white flour ever ground on a roller mill in Chesterfield county, so we are informed. The plant has a capacity of 25 barrels a day and enough wheat for many WPpUs is in einrVif Tlin . ... u,s.i|, A lie 11UU1 lilC mill is grinding is said to be as good as the very best and it is pure flour, as no bleaching [is done, though the mill ii equipped for bleaching and turning out several grades of flour. Mr. J. S. McGregor is president and Mr. J. H. Hancock is manager. Quite a lot of wheat was sown in the Ruby section and in other parts of the county last fall and the yield was very good. Wheat growing in the upper part of Chesterfield county promises to be an important industry in a year or two unless unforeseen events nip the movement in the bud. Death Near Chesterfield Mrs. Calvin McNair, of Chesterfield section, died Monday afternoon, and was buried at the Hurst burying ground Tuesday afternoon, Kev. T. B. Owen conducting the service. ' She was 70 or 75 years old, and had been in poor health for a long time. She is survived bv only one son, Mr. B. E. McNair.

Last Sunday at White Plains we failed to reach the 150 mark in the Sunday school but glad we had U5 in the classes. First Sunday in June we had 105 in the classes. Each time we have had a number of vistors. At Center Grove school house ^^PtSJfiWtany were we iM"pressed with their splendid recitations. We regret very much that it seems impossible for us to at tend The Summer Assembly and Bible Conference, Greenville, S. C. July 11. It is such a great loss to anv of our best denominational workers. Among the speakers will be college presidents, seminary professors and leading workers in all lines and phases of our great Kingdom enterprises. We will have one architect to speak each day to tell the folks how to provide for the Sunday school. Last Sunday's lesson brought u? many gooa tmngs to think about. Poor Absalom had more hair than brains, more deceit than sincerity, more pride than humility, more disobedience than obedience, more impatience than patience, and last of all more stones of "comtempt" thrown upon his grave than any man in the history of the world. Read the 6th. chapter of Ephesians and it will tell you how to escape the fate of this unworthy son Absalom. Next Sunday Pageland 11 a. m. 8:30 p. m. METHODIST EPISCOPAL J. A. McGraw.
