\r i. 1?

Was Buried Here.
The remains of Mrs. Dora
Johnston, wife of Mr. W. F. .
Johnston, whose death occurred :
Friday morning in Columbia, !
were brought to Fort Mill on I

ty cemetery, this city.
Mrs. Johnston's illness extended
over a period of many months
and her death was not unexpected
by her family and friends.
Mrs. Johnston was a daughter of
the late John Gordon and had a
number of relatives in this city j
and section. Of the immediate
family, she is survived by a husband
and four children.
Ul-Shaped Counties.
After scrutinizing carefully a
map of McCormick county, formed
some months ago of parts of
Abbeville, Edgefield and Greenwood
counties, a citizen of this ;
-J * - 1
ockuun wnu is an auvucaiK ui
Catawba county, came to The
Times office a day or two ago
with the McCormick map in hand
and remarked that he did not see
how a proposed county with any
sort of irregular lines could fail
to stand the test of the courts
since McCormick had "got by."
The matter of the formation of
ill-shaped counties will perhaps!
be settled by the justices of the
supreme court and the judges of
the circuit courts sitting en banc
within the next day or two. The
suit before the supreme court is
to test the constitutionality of
at i v ii? /-? 1 * ?
liil act ui tiie uenerai Assemmy
of 1912 against the formation of
ill-shaped counties. The constitution
itself is silent on the subject
and the proponents of Catawba
county therefore hold that
the act in question is unconstitutional,
as was held by Governor
Blease when he refused co sign
the act.
An interesting story in connection
with the Catawba county
litigation comes via Rock Hill to
the effect that with one of the
justices disqualified, the court
stands two for the constitutional
ity or tne act and two against it.
Hence the calling in of the circuit
judges to sit in the case.
The Price of Cotton Seed.
Mighty few of us are good
mathematicians, and so whenever
cotton seed are quoted at $40
or $50 a ton the average person
has to figure with pencil what
the price is per bushel. The following
rule is so simple and so
easy that we reproduce it:
"When the price of a ton is
given in dollars, take half the
price of a ton and add it to itself
and the result will be the
price of a bushel in cents. Thus. >
if seed are worth $20 a ton. take
half of 20 and add it to 20 and
you get 30 cents as the price of a
bushel. If seed are $30 a ton,
take half of 30, which is 15, and
add it to 30 and you get 45 cents
as the price of a bushel of spp<1
Now, to find the price of a ton,
in dollars, when the price of a
bushel in cents is known, you
subtract one-third of the price of
i bushel in cents from itself and
you have the price of a ton in
dollars. Thus, suppose the price
:>f a bushel in cents is 00 cents,
the third of GO is 20 which taken
from GO leaves $-10 as the price
A a ton. The rule is so easy that
anyone who knows the multiplication
table can pass from the
ton to the bushel or from the
bushel to the ton almost as fast
as he can talk."
A Good Defense.
Recently a merchant in Missisdnrti
hnnnnnurl ' <*..
-r- r - ..Mr/(/viivu VV OCC a 1 (XI I 11 CI I
receive a box of goods at the deoot
and noticed that it was from
* mail order house.
"I could have sold you the
goods for less money and saved
you the freight," observed the
merchant.
"I have taken the local paper
for a year," replied the farmer,
"and have not seen in it a line
about you selling these or any
ather kind of goods. The mail
arder house sends me advertising
matter asking for my trade and
they get it. If you have bargains
to offer, why don't you tell
about them in the paper?"

Vance, of Sharon, was bitten by
a mad dog Saturday. The dog
was killed and its head sent to

rabies. The child is getting along
nicely.
Mr. T. E. McMackin of Bethany.
who was a business visitor
in Yorkville Friday was showing
some last year's receipts for cotton
sold. He received $65.84 for
two bales last year whereas one
bale this fall is bringing a much
larger sum.

county board of education was

Bros.' circus is to exhibit afternoon
and night in Charlotte. Expectancy
never ran so high before
and it iz that this district
will aenJ a large delegation
to feed tne elephants. Unusual
interest centers around the gigantic
spectacle, "Cinderella,"
with which the famous showmen
are this season opening their
wonderful main tent program.
"Cinderella" is probably the best
loved of all fairy tales and to see
it produced with more than 1000
dersons, hundreds of dance girls
and glorious pageants, indeed
gives promise of making "childhoods
irolden dreams come true " I
In the same great tent will come
the marvelous circus numbers in
which 400 men and women performers,
scores of trained animals
and a galaxy of special features
are introduced. The majority
of the acts are entirely new
to America, the Ringling Bros,
having secured the pick of those
European performers who have
been obliged to seek engagement
in this country because of the
war. The all new street parade
will take place show day morning
