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!

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.

(London Cable in New York Morning

A Londoner may walk safely
about the streets at any hour of the

meets, perhaps in an exclusive West

African millionaire," he will be well
advised to hold hlg money with both
hands and leave the place.

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

Mr. Blank, who was buying

"CAN'T BEAT THE
WEEtVlL," SAYS GEORGIAN.
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

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."
