NOVEMBER 15. 1906.
Many of our exchanges are
publishing etiquette rules for
'phone^use.? 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.

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.

Unknown Man Killed at Blackstock.
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

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

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.
