VWe~Ywould like to add one. if you happen to hear something over;the* 'phone that is not meant for you, it is not best to repeat it. j At this time of the year people ar??naturally discussing in their minds the question, where shall we buy our goods? As our answer to this important problem we refer them to the advertising columns in this issue. In our columns will be found proclamations from all the'! .principal business houses in the town. Never trade with a man who doesjnot'advertise, if you want nice, fresh, clean goods at reasonable prices. Find a man who does not advertise, and you will find a man who is as rusty and old-fashioned as the goods which he is trying to'sell. The cotton exchange, or bucket shop, is again in operc. i_! a ? uon ana irom ooservation it seems that some of the leading church members are keeping it "company." Incidentally, some are wondering if one is elligible even to membership in the church and at the same time spend the biggest part of their time dealing in or with the men whoj conduct such institutions. We think not. The church and the bucket shop is a combination which don't work well together, and the man who follows both will fall from one, most likely the church, or* both in a very short time. After Income Tax. Comptroller General-"Jones is still working away at the income tax and has instructed the auditnra nuali fliot in ^ m v. > i ) county, says Tne State. There are yet nine or ten counties from which no returns have been made, but Mr. Jones has sent out a letter to every auditor Fin the State, ^^so that even those wno have sent SBfcMatheir returns are instructed to BSflmiBjutthe lists from their coungraBsHM^^omplete.

Commissioner Watson has given out some information about the next cargo of immigrants who will come into South Carolina through Charleston. This next lot of immigrants will be mostly farmers, domestic servants and laborers. A good deal of work has to be done to have prepared for them places which they can buy or rent or work on, so that there will be on trouble for the strangers when they get here as to what they will do and what they will make. Dr. McDov/ Seriously Shot. On the streets of Heath Spring, in Lancaster county, Thursday evening Dr. E. S. McDow, of Lancaster, was shot by his brother-in-law, John A. Bridges. The shooting is said to be the |result of a family difference wnicn nas lasted tor some years. McDow was closely related to the Dr. McDow who killed Francis W. Dawson, editor of the Charleston News and Courier several years ago. A few months ago Dr. McDow shot a young clerk of Lancaster by the name of Witherspoon, but Witherspoon recovered. Dr. McDow went to Heath Springs Thursday from Lancaster. As he v/alked down the streets, Bridges was standing near the Duncan-Hammond drug store. The shooting began as soon as the two men saw each other. Bridges used a double-barreled shotgun. McDow did not shoot. One load of No. 4 shot took effect in McDow's left arm just below the shoulder blade, another load entered the right forearm, and the third entered the legs above the knees. Dr. McDow was taken to the Rock Hill hospital where it was found necessary to amputate his left arm just below the shoulder. The wounded man is well known in Fort Mill, having attended school here some years ago. A Blind Tiger Lair at Smith's. The Rock Hill Herald says that Mayor Roddey has received the following letter from Smith's Tn.nAiti 4.V ? *i- 1 ' 1* M 1 xuiuuut, me wiiLtjr naving I mi Gtl to sign his name: "Mr. Ghon roddey Dear Sir I want to tell you of some the behaver around Smith turnout they Dont Do nothing on Sunday sell whiskey and play cards and fight they had a shooting scrap here yesterday Sunday nov 51906 Joe Baskins Sam Crawford made about 8 or 10 shots at Each other on the Church ground at the hebrew Joe Baskins went on to cedar grove Church got in a fight him and Eddie mccollough j right at the Door of the -Church 1 and you white people ought to Do something with them and send Down an office on Sunday to catch them Joe Baskins worst negro in the country he Been shooting around Every Sunday Eddie mccollough aske the white people about them Miss Mary ratterree made Eddie mccollough Pay $25 for shooting around her yard this year if they had they gustice they Be on the Ching Gang I will close now by saying I-hope you will attend to it" The Rev.

The body of a young white man was found at a point on the Southern Railway about one mile above Blackstock Friday morning. His neck was broken, as was his left wrist. The supposition is that he fell from train No. 33, while standing on the step. In his pockets were found a knife, a pocket book and covon ronto ?r? pliorrro r1nr.-*r?ni? UV/ ? VII VVUVU ill VltClll^ V VllVl Leckie went down and viewed the remains, the jury finding a verdict in accordance with the foregoing facts. Nothing T!an be learned as to the identity of the unfortunate young man. Some oersons at Rlack-1 stock thought he bore a remarkable resemblance to a man who was in one of the stores of the town a few days before and attempted to telephone to his wife, who he said was at the mill village in Winnsboro, but nothing could be dene to show that the two parties were one and the same.?Chester Reporter. Poshing Pork. Now is the time to push hogs intened for pork. A given amount^ of feed will make more pork now than it will in freezing weather. There is probably no .better feed for fattening hogs than corn, but no one kind of feed used alone yields the best results. If hogs are to be fed three or four weeks, corn alone may give fairly satisfactory results, but for longer feeding periods, a better balanced ration with more variety is necessary. If there are no peas to be grazed, or peanuts for the hogs to gather, then it will pay to buy dried blood with 10 pounds of corn. The blood will be as cheap as the corn, and the corn will give better returns because of being fed with the blood.? Progressive Farmer. Seriously Injured Through a Joke. Mr. Edgar Marion, who is cmployed at the drug store of Dr. T. B. Meacham, was on Tuesday informed of the serious iniurv as a retfilt of a joke of his cousin. Mr. John Marion, at the Univhrsity of South Carolina, Columbia, a few (Jays ago. Mr. Marion was asleep in his room in the college dormitory when two of his fellow students set fire to a lot of waste paper they had placed in a bucket over Marion's door and yelled fire. The young man was so startled that he jumped from one of his windows, seriously and possibly permanently injuring his back. Mock Trial at the Pec Dee Institute. i (Published by Request ) A mock trial was held by the members of the Victorian Literay j Society of the Pee Dee Institute ; recently, and as changeTrom the usual routine of society work, it ! was a marked success. The criminal, Mr. W. E. Brasington, was I tried for his life or. the charge of ! murdering one Julian .Moore. H. H. McLendon, Esq., presided as | judge and filled the place most adi mirably. Mr. George W. Cov| ington, assisted by Mr. T. C. Robinson, was clerk. Mr. O. A. Sullivan was sheriff and Mr. C. W. I Teal made and ideal solicitor. He | was ably assisted by Messrs. F. ; A. Liles and VV. J. Crowson. For the defendant. Mr. G. C. Epps appeared as chief counsel, assisted by Messrs. G. W. King and John W. Kirby. The proceeding were extremely interesting. The "lawyers" displayed a skill and ingenuity in the management of the case that would be a credit .to yeteran j members of the bar. The state i had a strong case, but the witI nesses for the defense gave testimony of such unimpeachable j character, that the jury brought I in a verdict of not guilty. On I the first ballot the vote stood ! four for aermithnl nrin .J vw? ?y VitV AVI IllUl" ! der in the first degree, one for ! murder the second degree. Sev| ei ftl ballots were taken and finally all voted "notguilty." The verdict \va3 received with tremendous applause and congratulations were extended to the accused by oil his friends. The boys were highly pleased with the evening's work. They all did well. Several of the witnesses were star performers on the stand and encountered the questions of the lawyers with the skill of veterans. To the audience, the trial was not only highly amusing but instructive I also. ?The Ans-onian. HAL A CLOSE CALL.
