Several Weeks Ago; Now Reported in Darlington. Mullins Enterprise. v Several weeks ago the Enterprise ji published a story taken from the Dil- g Ion Herald ?o the affeet that mnnator . tiacks, resembling that of a human c foot, had been seen in Marlboro p county, and also, that a giant had | f called at a farm house for a drink j of water and finding the pump out of n commission pulled it up and threw ic it away. Now comes the report, as'e published in the Hartsville Messenger o last week, that similar tracks haveji been seen in Darlington county. |r The people In this section feel very c much gratification in the fact that! the "wild man" seems to be headed ;ii ir. another direction and will give b Mullins the go by altogether. Re-|n gardless of what specie, be it man, go-ip rilla or "old nick", we are willing for ^ him to continue hi8 journey and shall [a not feel slighted in the least. d The Hartsville Messenger of last; i 1 wnolr QQ v?o I" O | w Monday morning tracks measuring v nineteen inches were discovered near'tl ^ the Sanitary Laundry and in the road X between the tracks of the Seaboard 1 n Air Line Railway and Prestwoodjc crossing. Rumor has if that similarj prints were seen beyond the crossing, in The impression left in the sand is1 c< like unto a barefooted man. Thejf< heel is narrow and the body of the p foot, is, too, rather Bparing in width G compared with the length. The toe ci prints were also discernable, especial-jA ly the big toe. Quite a number ofi people assembled to view the impres-jn sions. Mr. J. E. Kirvon pronounces t< the track as that of the devil who,E aas on his way to the country club, p It appearg that the monster whatever it was entered from over the! pond and Mr. Kirven lives over there.; Mr. Vaughan says it's a hoax, for : he says the tracks are not heavy' enough for such a big man or ani-' mal. Others exclaim "wild man" and f1 some uay it is a gorilla which has got-1" ten loose from some show. Anyhow, i the tracks were made by something.Iy The editor saw them. The news g spread all over town and all kinds t( of gossip has been indulged in since. n The papers recently carried ac-jCl counts of big tracks being found in(a Marlboro county. And it is stated.0 such a revelation has appeared in; one of the western counties of South ,s Carolina. ;c It was all the talk Monday and as r the shades of evening gathered a v spooky feeling pervaded many house- 11 holds. Especially were children ex- ? cited. Now, the creature making the,jj tracks has not been seen except pos- c sibly in the imagination of some nervous folks. 0 But the traks did not stop in the 11 swamp near the laundry and Pre3t-;p wood crossing. Lo and behold Tu?>8- * V day morning comes the news that the same kind of looking indentures werej^ being and thereby did appear in a field on the plantation of Mr. Lide,f Jordan. Automobiles hastened out " in numbers to witness the mysterious i] affixments upon the earth and the re-i port was found to be correct. 1 be |' editor talked with Mr. Jordan an.I lie,v confirmed the rumors. But Mr. Jor-,P dan gave as his opinion that "it was n all a put-up job." ! i1 If any further developments oc- c cur readers of The Messenger will ^ be told of the facts next week. So t children don't get excited, don't bejc alarmned, for the wild man will do ? you no harm. d o j* Fork/' [l Mrs. L. M. Rogers and little son.0 L. M.

Oivitrg it as his opinion that there rill undoubtedly be a very large iimp in the price of cotton next pring, if not before, Senator Heflin, f Alabama, a member of the Senate ommittee on agriculture, and a well osted cotton expert, has made the ollowing statement: "We have consumed and exported lore than eleven million bales of otton since July 19 20. The Southern ntton mills have made heavy inroads n the low grade cotton produced in 920. The cotton of that crop now emaining unsold is mostly high grade otton. "The cotton crop this year will be . the neighborhood of seven million ales. April, May, June and July of ext year will see the smallest suply of and the greatest demand for imerican cotton that the world has Stressed in a long time, Germany's tmand for American cotton is crow lg in leaps and hounds. Germany is tit after a very large part of the orld's cotton goods trade. One of tie largest cotton producers in the fnited States is now in Germany arnnging for the direct sale of Amerian cotton to German interests. "The War Finance Corporation anounces that negotiations for advanes to finance agricultural products or export sale are approaching comletion as follows: "Oklahoma Cotton Growers Association, 200,000 bales of ctton; Texas Farm Bureau Cotton ssociation, 300,000 bales of cotton. "The small crop, the increasing deiand and the aid furnished the cotsn producer by the War Finance loard is bound to advance cotton rices." o I)It. DUNCAN IX AUGUSTA.

Daniel of Clemson College, rho was prevented at the last (loment by the illness of his daughter f filling his engagement to lecture i Augusta on "Forces That Build a !ommunity." The local Lodge of the Loyal Order f Moose, under whose auspices the ecture was given, rather than disapoint the expected audience, called )r. Duncan over long distance 'phone nd urged him to speak here in Dr. Janiel's place. Dr. Duncan talked for about fort.vive minutes on the subject of comiiunity building, dividing bis subject uto four heads. The frst was "Cash," under which ead he stressed the importance of rise financial management as an imortant part in community development; the second was "Cooperation," a which he brought out the vital neessity of a community working toother with that spirit of cooperation hat alone insures the growth of any ity; third, "Culture," in Which the object of education and schools was liscussed in a most forceful manner nd the concluding division of bis ubject was devoted to "Character," n which he brought out the necessity if the moral side to community life, ,nd the character of community life or which a city should strive.

McLaurin of tliis city, charged with assaulting four small girls with intent to commit a capital offense, yesterday entered a ploa of i guilty to three of the charges and was sentenced by Judge J. Bis Ray; of the superior court to serve 20 years in the state penitentiary. McLaurin is 58 years old and has j wife and several children. Evidence was introduced to prove men-! I o I ahorro ? in? /\ ? oir?o n 1 inuOnit ? ? Dr. J. P. Munroe and Dr. E. C. Byo-j ette, witnesses for the defense, tes-: tifiej that a medical examination of the accused indicated that he suffered frc-m progresssive systematic insanity. This form of insanity, Dr. Munroe^ stated, causes the patient frequently to indulge in abnormal sexual acts, the victims of which are generally small girls or boys. The indictment against McLaurin alleged that he assaulted four small girls, two of each of two families, the crime having been committed early ( in the summer. 1 Mcl^aurin plead guilty to three of the charges and was given seven' years on each of two counts and six years on the third, making a total of 20 years. Judge Kay ruled that the < plea of insanity did not hold after the accused had entered a plea of guilty to the charges. Mr. McLaurin was formerly a minister. His wife testified that loss^ of memory and other eccentric!ies' of the defendant had caused her to!" suspect for several years that he was a victim of insanity.

Like the Haven in Hdgar Allen 1'oc's luinous poem we are ready to exclaim "Never-more! Never-more! We have suffered a genuine euse of d? liriuui tremens hut the suiu part of it is it did not come from the usual causes. Last week Coroner Casque requested us to advertise for reut a five room house and for the applicants to come to The Herald office. We did it unthoughtediy and since lust Thursday from the time The Ht raid reached the postoffice we have had the life pestered out of us. Applications have come by phone, by mail* by w<reless, by courier and by person We have been deluged with jaa plicanls. They have come in drovj? ,.',1 the maimed, the halt, the blin<* rich. the pour and the indifferent. We hvive got acquainted -with hundreds of people we never saw before. We believe the census enumerator must have missed hall the population when he made his rounds. We have escaped through the back door only to be chased down the street. We have jumped into our automobile uud driven home at a break-neck t^eed oi.lv to find another crowd of applicants awaiting us. I'pon returning to the office in the morning we would find them again and before we could alight from the car they had rushed upon us like they would if nd us from limb to limb. Several tinie.s after u most strenuous day w? have almost fallen from coinplet< exhaustion- Wo lia\? managed to survive it and now we want just one word: We do not know anything about Coroner Casque's fivo room house for rent We mi hoi own '.i i ive room nouse Tor n iit and never will unless w<- happen |i? lose our mind. We wouldn't have j the best five room house in Dillon as a free gift il we had to rent it. That, live room house advertised in last ! week's Herald belongs to Coroner Casque and when Coroner Casque is not at home he is at his mattress factory between the Oil Mill and the Carolina Milling Company's plant. But ;remember. Coroner Casque is a inild| mannered man until you get him aroused. While we would be glad see it out of pure revenge for the ' joke he played on us, yet we warn Ithe public to be careful how they crowd him. o ltl?iikenshi|?-Onti*'ll.
