Three cents a pound for cotton
seed is as much as they used
to bring with the lint on.
+
Plenty of hay and winter
crops for grazing are going to
make the movement for more
live stock move faster.
?
Maybe the high price of cotton
seed will draw so many of the
seed to market that there will
not be enough left to plant a big
crop next spring.
Some girls think it is stylish
or becoming to droop the
shoulders. A boy with ordinary
gray horse sense and one eye
knows better. There never was
a pretty hump-shouldered girl.

Mr. or Mrs. or Miss Subscriber,
if you dread the sight of a "dun,"
if you choose to call it that, now
is your chance to escape such
an awful fate. It is our purpose
to mail out to each of you who
are in arrears a statement of
your account as it appears on
our lists at a very early dateLook
out for it.
"Do you solemnly swear that
vou are oualified to vote in this
election; that you have not
voted before, and that you will
support the nominee of the
partv, State and national?" Do
- - you remember r.vcr iakmg?cin
oath similar to the above? If
you voted in the Democratic
primary you doubtless have
done so. Just what did vou mean
then by supporting the nominees
of the par*y? If you go about
your business on the 7th of November
and neglect to cast a
vote for President Wilson and
the State officers, what about
your oath. Then don't yon feel
it a duty to vote for the nominees
of the partv that has given
the country the best administration
in the history of the country?
As many votes as were
cast in the primary should be'
cast in the general election.

each year by growing hay and
shipping to the people around
Pageland might as well look
out for other customers. We
have quit 'em. A few years ago
hay, corn and oats were bought
by the car load, and sometimes
almost hy the train load, by the
people of this section,
but this has changed
now. Barns and sheds are
bulging with hay and there are
stacks of it on nearly every farm
that could not be housed. The
weather has been ideal for curing
hay, and the quality of the
Stuff is excellent. There is
more hay in this section this fall
than ever before. The westerner
who depends on selling his
hay to our farmers will be left

oeninu inis lime lor once. Cotton
is bringing unheard of prices,
but the farmers of this section
learned a big lesson two years
ago. They wili hardiy forget
what a mammoth crop and a
low price mean to the farmers.
Thev will doubtless plant plenty
of cotton next spring but they
will remember that they can
grow corn, hay, etc. cheaper
than \\}W ca? buv it,
Vernon Helms Tries to Commit
Suicide
(continued from page 1)
succeeded in this once and was
prevented on several occasions.
An attendant and 3 nurse have
been kept in the room constantly.
Early Sunday morning about
4:30 Helms complained that one
of his arms was paining him severely
from the bandage. The
attendant decided to loosen it a
little and although this was contrary
to instructions, it was done.
Shortly after, this attendant had
to step out of the room for a
few minutes and when he returned,
he found his charge
missing. Doctor Brenizer was
immediately aroused and the
other attaches of the institution
ii ?i ? A -
were eaueu iuiu service. /\i
first it was impossible to trace
the missing man but the police
were requisitioned and they
helped.
Helms did not have anything
on when he left the hospital
save a sheet that he snatched
from the bed when he left. It
was chilly and the worst was
feared. Doctor Brenizer was
certain that he would find his
patient in some out of the way
corner and when he was traced
towards the Seaboard depot, it
was thought that he would prob
ably throw himself under a train
or meet some other fearful end.
The officers followed the trail
and it led out the Seaboard road
toward Monroe. The missing
man was discovered where the
road crosses Brier Creek two
and one-half miles from the city
about 5:30 o'clock.
When the officers came upon
him, he was approaching the
stream. He said that he wanted
a drink of water, although on
account of his wound, he could
not have drunk had he reached
the bank. He was then asked
1 t T* ?
wnere ne was going, ne replied
that he wanted to see.his mother
and sister before he died and
that when he had seen them he
wanted to return to Charlotte
and give his life for the sins of
the people here. ? <
He made no strehtTOUt objections
to returning and is again
under a watchman's care at the
hospital. Helms is said to be as
crazy as a man can be and an
effort is now being made to get
him admitted to the State Insanse
Asylum at Morganton.
An English lord was visiting
friends in Scotland. One evening
while attending a dinner
given iD his honor he met the
little daughter of his host, who,
though too well bred to stare,
eyed him covertly as the occa
sion presented itself, finally venturing
a remark:
"And you are really ^nd trulv
an English lord?"

"I have often thought I would
like to see un English lord," she
went on, "and?and "
"And now you are satisfied,"lie
interrupted, laughing.
"N no," the littie miss replied
truthfully, Tm not satisfied, I'm
a good deal disappointed."
The applicant for cook was
untidy and insolent in appearance.
"Don't hire her," whispered
Jones to his wife; "I don't like
her looks."
"But," remonstrated his wife,
"just consider the reputation .or
cooking she bears."
"That doesn't matter," said
Jones testilv; "we don't want
any she bears cooked; we don't
like them.
It was while they were building
the Panama Canal. An excited
Chinese laborer dashed into
one of the foreman's tents.

"Now," said a teacher to her
class in English, "can anyone
give me a word ending in ous,
meaning full of, as dangerous,
full of danger; hazardous, full of
hazard?"
There was silence for several
minutes, then a small boy raised
his hand.
"Well," encouraged the teacher,
"what is vour word?"
"Pious, full of pie," was the
answer.
