most people are too busy with
their spring work to collect the
scattering bolls remaining, in
view of the scarcity of labor.
The staple continues to come in,
but the number of bales is very
small as compared to two weeks
ago.
The fire department responded
to an alarm late Thursday afternoon
and after some very good
work succeeded in subduing the
flames which enveloped a tenant
house very near the center of
. the town. A strong wind was
blowing at the time and the
house was located in the midst
of a group of frame houses
hardly more than 50 feet apart.
The house was owned by Osmond
Barber and was approximately a
total loss, and was covered by
insurance.
An instance of reward for a
faithful performance of duty
in response to his country's call
is shown in the experience of
Osmond Barber, owner of Water
Oak Farm near Fort Mill. Last
spring when the production of
food stuffs was urged, he plowed
up a large tract of his best land
wnicn Had been prepared for
cotton, and planted it in corn.
The production of cotton
throughout this section generally
was much below normal but unusually
good crops of corn were
made. Now Mr. Barber has
about 1,000 bushels of corn above
his requirements for which he is
receiving $2.25 per bushel at the
the crib.

Six Girls in Suicide Pact.
How six girls, on trial at the
federal court at Rock Hill for
numeral relations .witn so.cuers,
formed a pact among: themselves
to take their own lives if
convicted, and how the agreement
was discovered only when
one of them attempted to carry
out her part of the agreement
prematurely by taking carbolic
acid, was related by federal
officers of Greenville. The girl
who took the acid. Minnie McCurry,
is improving rapidly. All
six were convicted and sentenced
to the State penitentiary. The
pact was revealed by the sister
of the girl who took the poison.
The girl had said the day before
that she was sure she would be
convicted and presumably swallowed
the acid on that account.
The bottle containing the re
mainder of the acid was found
hidden in the toilet of the railway
station where the girls had
planned to drink it on leaving
Rock Hill after the trial.
Dixie Almost Dry.
Kentucky now lacks only 11
counties of being all bone dry.
Under the operation of an act
just signed by Governor Stanley,
liquor can no longer be shipped
into any of the other counties of
the State, save in violation.
Moreover, Kentucky is now on
the point of adopting a statute
which will add a tax of $1,000,000
to the already hiavily taxed
liquor stock remaining in its
warehouses. On top of this,
comes the news that the house
of representatives of Texas has
passed a bill prohibiting the manufacture
of spirituous or malt
liquors within that State. A little
more of this and there will
not be a wet spot in Dixie.?The
