that can be profitably planted in

and the rutabaga crop.

in order to enlarge the plant, put
in some new machinery and install
electric motora. The last mentioned
improvement may not be perfected
just at this time, bat the mill
will use electricity eventually.
The date for the Clemson scholarships
examination has been fixed

A loss which was keenly felt was
that a few nights ago of about six
bushels of seed peas which were
stolon from a small room adjoining
McElhaney's livery stables. The
peas had been stored there by
mills ana Young, and from the
fact that it is almost impossible to
buy peas at any price at present,
the loss falls heavily. No clue has
yet been discovered as to who committed
the theft.
The Times has heard a number
of comments about its article of
lost week concerning the probability
of an election upon the question
of establishing a dispensary
here should the Charlotte liquor
houses be voted out on July 5.
All agree that the eleotion is more
than probable and quite a number
are of the opinion that it would
carry for the dispensary.
The largest paint contract ever
given in this county was recently
placed with the Hock Hill Drug

inside and outside of the state's
college.
A lodge of J. O. U. A. M0 was
instituted here during the past
week by Mr. J. S. Wilson, of Lancaster,
who is State secretary of
the order. A very enthusiastic
meeting of citizens was held Friday
evening in the town hall and
when the books for membership
were opened twenty nine enlisted.
Mr. Wilson is to be congratulated
upon his success in arousing interest
among our young men and
in securing such an excellent membership
at the organization. The <
lodge gives promise of enjoying a
long and successful career. A similar
lodge was organised here several
years ago, but fell through for
reasons best known td those who
were associated therein.
That is an interesting bit of news
which tells us that an agent is harrying
from (iaatamala to the Texas
cotton fields with a hord of red
ants to devour the boll weevil.

been destroyed, what will become
of the ants?
