Friends in Fort Mill of Mr. VV. J} F. Lewis have received information to the effect that he has been seriously ill with pneumo-; nia, but is now convalescent, i Mr. Lewis was formerly secretary of the Fort Mill Mfg. company and enlisted in the aviation corps. He has been stationed for training at Ithica, N. Y. Much damage to crops in this immediate section has resulted | from the severe drouth now prevalent. Corn, particularly, has been badly injured, the indications being that little more than half the yield of last year will be made. Cotton has stood the dry weather better, but is plainly showing the need of rain, j Another factor in the deterioration of the cotton Crop was the cool nights of last week, and, taken in alt the agricultural outlook is not encouraging, though a copious rain might materially change the situation.

Dealers throughout the country in automobile acoesories have received notice that the number of sizes and styles of tires would be very materially reduced in the near future.

In many cases the rim can be made to take the new size of tire when the size now used is discarded. It will also be a good thing, it is claimed, for the reason that the dealers will not hp rpnnirpH to carry so many sizes that are little used. The first change will go into effect November i.

According to a report from Pineville Thursday officers of the law on Wednesday seized a trunk containing 63 quarts of 4. I. 1- J hiiiorcj. x ne li uihi iiau come to Pineville as bagtrage. It is stated that the practice of shipping trunks of whiskey by baggage to Pineville and re-checking ihem to points in this State has been indulged in lately to such an extent as to amount to a wholesale distributing business. The trunk seized Wednesday was, it was said, addressed to the agent of the express company at Pineville. Printed on the trunk was the name "Adams Express Company." It was stated that no marks were on the outside to indicate that whiskey was within, but each quart in the trunk was wrapped separately and each quart was addressed to an individual supposed to be living at Pineville. Investigation by the department of justice agents, however, resulted in learning that not one of the 50 individuals to whom the 63 quarts were addressed lived at Pineville, it was said. The trunk was shipped from Baltimore, it was stated, and apparently was shipped bv an individual and not by a whiskey concern. The express office at Pineville was inspected by the agents and it is alleged they found three barrels and a trunk full of whiskey cartons, from which whiskey bottles had been extracted. Special Agent Nelms charged, when asked regarding the seizure, that there is a conspiracy existent for shipping whiskey | irom wet points into North and South Carolina. This is one of the largest whiskey seizures made in this section of the country in a long while and if arrests are made as indicated by agents, it is expected the case will prove most interesting. Special Agent Nelms and those with him have been been working most effectively along these lines since department headquarters was established in Charlotte several months ago.
