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.

board to assist in the program
for conservation of leather and
labor adopted by manufacturers
and wholesale dealers. The retailers
are asked specifically to
make reductions in the quantity
and variety of stock oreered for
tne 1919 spring season. No interference
will be made with the
disposal of the stocks now on
hand or ordered for the fall
season.
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. The change will be
put into effect gradually, so as
to work as little hardship as possible
on automobile owners. 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.
Announcement is made in the
county papers that a number of
community meetings are to be
Ijeld throughout York county
this and next week. The meetings

district farm agent, of Winnsboro.
The purpose of the meetings
is to stimulate interest in
and demonstrate methods of canning.
The Fort Mill meeting is
to be held on Thursday, July 25,
beginning at 3:30 p. m., and continuing
for several hours.
Big Liquor Seizure at Pineville.
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.
