If V McUiNDON 8T1RH UP BIO 1,1 4 AUDHNOE AT SPBMCBR. Spencer, Sept. It?Rev. B. P. Me-! Leadon, familiarly known aa "Cyclone Mack", who is conducting a revival here in a tent, preached Sunday morn- { lag in Greensboro, occupying the pul-i pit of the Park Place Methodist Episcopal church. The famous evangelist arrived here. from Greensboro at 3:35 p. m... five minutes after the time set for his afternoon service in the big tent, near the baseball diamond. James Penuy,' of Greensboro, brought him here in an automobile. Mr. McLeudon went from the machine directly to his place in the tent, where a sea of faces greeted him. j Some of the auditors had arrived as much as an heour ahead of time in. order to get seats. Hundreds upon! hundreds were comfortably seated in-! side the tent, while many stood on the1 outside in order to catch a few words from the lip8 of the preacher. After the choir of about 300 Spen-j cer people had rendered several selections, Cyclone Mack went into action. It required him but a few minutes to lay aside his big sombrero,' remove his white collar, coat and vest! ? in fact tie atHnn?it fnr rln?! duty. And he handled himself in great; style- It way a big day under the old. tend. Mr. McLendon since coming here a' TA>ek or so ago has preached the goa-, 4^! of Jesus Christ to thousands or, souls. The town in the afternoon was' a veritable automobile pftrk in the vicinity of the tent meeting. Riding! from Spencer to Salisbury one was im-! pressed with the steady stream of au-J tomobiles carrying people to the revival. Not only are the people of Spencer and the vicinity attending these big meetings, but those who have heard the preacher in other sections of the state travel for miles and miles to listen again to his inspiring, soulstirring messages. If crowds are indexes to success, then the Spencer meeting is a whaling success. and the influence of the, South Carolina evangelist continues an its heavenly tramp. o I FliOOI) VICTIMS OVER 1O0 MARK . | I>erir>mj>ose<l Bodies Found in Many Places. San Antonio, Sept. 12?More than 100 bodies of flood and storm victims in the lowlands along the San Gabriel river in Williamson and Milan counties have been recovered, according to the correspondent of the San Antonio Express at Taylor, who telegraphed a report tonight. The correspondent telephoned the following: "One hundred and nine bodies have been recovered from flooded lowlands along the San Gabriel river in Williamson and Milah counties. Moat of the dead are Mexican farm laborers." Another dispatch to the Express from Rochdale, Milan County, says: "More than twentv famines in (hp Brazos bottoms between Cuaae and Valley Junction are reported lost. Five persons are known to have I been drowned on the EdE Oreen farm in the San Gabriel bottoms." | More than twenty feet of water, rose over the roadg in Brazos bottoms and nothing has been heard from the! twenty families living there. Property Inw. Property losses will exceed M?-! 000,000, the report paid.

A Londoner may walk safely about the streets at any hour of the .24, unafraid of holdup men. but it he meets, perhaps in an exclusive West *" End hotel or night club, a "South African millionaire," he will be well advised to hold hlg money with both hands and leave the place. very few days some disillusioned man, who until a short time before had more money than was good for him, gets up in court and begins: "Well, I was at Blank's and was introduced to a Mr. Blank, a South African?porhapg anything else? millionaire." Everybody laughs. The narrator, who may be young or old, blushes and tells how at his favorite grill room of cafe, at the rices, or at Blank's dance club, he met So-and-So. Anyway, 4ho witness continues that 8oand-8o introduced several friends, including Mr. Blank, who was buying or had lust bought a country place for 09 Or 06 thousand pounds. They finished up the evening together and at | or 4 o'clock in the morning.adjourned to some one's flat fpr a few drinks and a light lunch || Oapfaln Binks looked particularly OIRT. perhaps there was 1 llttto card gma ft ha was hlg gasaa, perhaps iMMh 4a tharasas ka a Mh fe Mo**.** a sid ?I party at Mr. ML ' v r*' fn nii/ * .Ml ?

Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Boswell, Jr., of Siloam. Ga., spent Saturday with Mr. ana Mrs. L. C. Braddv. Mr. Braddy visited Mr. Boswell at his Georgia home several weeks ago and spent several days looking over Mr. Boswtll'8 cattle farm. He bought several fine cows from Mr. Boswell. "You can't beat the boll weevil," remarked Mr. Boswell to a Herald representative, "and the man who tries it is going to come out at the little end of the horn." continued Mr. Boswell. "All his life my father had been wedded to cotton. He owned quite a number of acres of good cotton land. He knew how to farm and he believed till the last that he could beat the boll weevil. About 20 years ago I began to go back and forth from Georgia to Texas buying cattle. On \ oach trip I saw that the boll weevil , was slowly but steadily making his way towards Georgia. There was Tex- ' as, then Oklahoma, then Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, then Georgia. The Georgians, like the Texans, the ' Mississlppians, the Louislanians and the Alabamians, thought they could 1 beat the boll weevil, but they found 1 ou< they were mistaken. The only \ thing that saved me and my father , were those trips I made back and ; forth to Texas buying cattle. Every time I made a trip I beeame more ! and more convinced that our day was coming, and each year I persuaded my father to plant less and less rolfnn roico I1 v?/vvvru UUV1 I aloe U1WIC t V O UUU ( By the time the boll weevil hit us we had reduced our acreage to the extent that we scarcely felt it. Our neighbors, many of whom were large ^ farmers, continued to plant cotton ( and many of them went hankrupt. I know of one large planter who has something like 600 acres in cotton this year from which he will gather | about 20 bales. He is a man of ample means and he used every de- j I vice money could buy to fight the boll weevil. He planted cotton in |wide rows and sprayed it regularly. !yet the weevil got him. In addition to 'raising cattle we make syrup, peanuts and other food crops. Labor is plentiful and we keep a standing offer of '50 cents a day to any man who wants to go to work. We don't care how many men apply for a job?we will find something for them to do. The I offer holds good the year round. We adopted this rule because there was tactual suffering and 50 cents a day 'will keep a person from starving." 1 Mr. Boswell has made a success of > the cattle business. He made arrange-1 menta while here to ship in a car load j of fine cattle during fair weeek which he says he is going to sell to the people of Dillon county at mighty close, prices. He says he knows It is just a nnoaiinn nf ;'' ' M ^uvwvivti VI iiuic UtlUI C IUCJ Win be looking for a place to buy breed I cattle and he wants to get In on the ground floor. Mr. Boswell also had with him samples of some fine cane syrup and placed several barrels with Dillon merchants. o WHEN COTTON WAS STABLE.' Pee Dee Advocate. The price of cotfon on the New York exchange often fluctuates more in a day now than in a year back in the 80's and 90's. The fluctuation was less than one cent during the whole of the year 1886, the highest price for the year being 9 9-16 and the lowest 8 13-16. The difference between the highest and the lowest price during the twenty years beginning Jan. 1, 1883, and ending Jan. 1, 1903, was less than seven and a half cents; the I highest being 12 3-3 In 1890, and the lowest 5 5-16 in 1898. I The variation was only four and three-quarter cents during the nine years beginning Jan. 1, 1891. it has varied more than that in a week both this fall and last fallThe greatest fluctuation 1 in any year was $1.18 a pound in 1864, when the highest was 190 and the lowest 72 cents a pound,' o We Must Have Elevators. "It is easy enough to raise all kinds grain crops in Dillon county and raise them in abundance," said Mr. L. Cotttngham, general manager of the Dillon County Warehouse and Marketing Association, "but the great problem that confronts our people is h<ftr to market them. It will be a waste of time and energy and money to raise ,a big corn and oat crop in the county \and let it spoil on our hands and that is what will happen if we do not erect grain elerators. The trade does not want weevil eaten and bug damaged corn at any price, and even though we offered local manufacturers our corn at half the price at which they \ could get western corn delivered they 1 would continue to buy the western ' corn an^ >'ou could not blame them. I am investigating the grain elevator. I am convinced that it is the only solution of the problem, if we go in strong for corn and oats next year. An elevator that will take care of 300,000 bushels of corn will cost about $50,000. Two or three elevators of that capacity will take care of i the corn crop in Dillon county. Now is the time for us to get busy along this line. It will be financial suicide to raise a big corn crop and then not be able to market it." ? o POUND In as Automobile near Little Rock large bunch of keys.
