Mr. Claude Doster, of this county. ! Mrs. Doster was a most excel- j lent lady and was deservedly : popular wherever known, her i many.

Reports from different sections of the county indicate that a good part of the cotton crop that was up has been killed by the frost aud cold of Wednesday night. In some sections the damage is reported as being only slight, but in some places the crop was almost entirely killed and quite h number began on Thursday to plow up the injured crop and re-plant. The reports indicate that all the cotton that had been worked is injured much worse than that which had just come up and had ! not been disturbed. As yet it would be difficult to form any kind of an accurate estimate as to what portion of the entire crop that has been injured, but there j INTERES1 Why buy the "FR1 Because it is the B Big Store for less nioi Sizes, 2 quarts to (> qi Why do so many o ' '' v 'it slsss ir , i v ^ ^ ' "' IB M .._ i !

Also rI BELZ^ is no doubt of the fact that the crop has been hard hit in some sections of the county. The heaviest hamage reported so far is in the low Black-Jack section around Ogeen. If conditions are as bad as reports that have been received indicate they are I in some places, the farmers will j be in a rather bad way. It is not altogether too late to re-plant, but cotton planted now could hardly make a full j crop even with the most favorable weather conditions. Seed are also very scarce. Very few farmers reserved more than seed enough to plant and if there is much replanting to do there may be some trouble in obtaining seed. ; Clemson College is now ready to receive applications from residents of this county for Farmers' : Institutes to he held during the j summer.
