Deviney of Julian, N. C. died on March 20th at his home, after a long illness with con sumption. Mr. Deviney was connected with the North State F Nursery at Julian, and it was ' while representing this nursery that he met many of the people of this section. He made a fine impression here, and the people held him in the highest regard as a gentleman. He is survived by a widow and five children. Mr. "Eck" Carnes was shot and killed at Lancaster Sunday afternoon by Mr. Tant Hunter at the home of the latter's father. The tacts a re hard to get, but it appears from the reports that { there had been some trouble beI fore and that Carnes was drink L ing when he went to the Hunter ^ home. Trouble started and B Carnes was shot in the leg with a shot gun. A large arterv was cut and the man soon died from loss of blood. Mr. Carnes was formerly deoutv sheriff and init. j? m er under Sheriff Hunter. Mr. Hunter was formerly rural policeman. The latter gave himself up to the officers soon after the shooting. Mr. Joseph F. Roscoe, an aged citizen of Bay Springs section, died at his home Sunday afternoon, soon after the burial of his grandson, Mr. Kirby Roscoe, who had died on Friday night before. He had been sick for about 4 months and his death did not come as a surprise. He I *7/ ? ? ? n was /o years old. Mr. Koscoe I fought throughout the Civil war V as a faithful son of Confederacy. I He was a member of Bay I Springs Baptist church, and was an excellent citizen. "If he had an enemy in the world I do not know it," said a neighbor in speaking of him. His widow, three s'ons and four daughters survive. J. D. Purvis conducted the burial service at Bay Springs Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Mr. Kirby Roscoe, the 17 yearold son of Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Roscoe of the Bethesda section of the county, died last Friday night, after an attackof pneumonia lasting only four days. He was thought to be doing well until a very short time before his death. This young man was a member of Bethesda M P church and a splendid young man. He was robust and had enjoyed excellent health. His death therefore came as a great surprise to the entire commun ity, and especially to his father who suffered a second stroke of paralysis as a result of the shock. The body was buried at Bethesda Sunday shortly after noon, Rev. J. W. Quick conducting the services. The County Equilization board met at Chesterfield yesterday to canvass the property returns of the county.

"I see Mr. up here has been plowing his land too wet," said a prominent farmer to the writer the other day. "Yes," we replied, "and I saw some fellows plowing yesterday just after the rain." Entirely too much land has been plowed wet this spring. Farmers in the clay land do not dare plow much when the land is wet for they know the land will get so hard they can hardly scratch it. But the sand will not get hard, and manv farmers damage their land without realizing it It is just as had to plow sand wet as it is clay, except that the sand will not get so hard. "There should be a public road from this section direct to Pageland," said Mr G. H. At kinson the other day as he stopped his work on his faim about a mile below Mr. D. W. Mangum's. He went on to say that he would straighten the road across his farm, and that the other lands traversed by such a road would be those belonging to D. W. Mangum, D. V. Hen drix, K. M. Railings, W, T. Rutledge and Mott Deese. We submit this proposition to the people who would be atfected by it, and to the officials foi further consideration. On its face it seems to be worthy of consideration.
