An Enormous Corn Crop.
The country's enormous corn
crop has "run unharmed the
gauntlet of dangers that faced
it during the doubtful days and
nights of September, and lays
into the lap of mellow October.
43,000,000 bushels more of
ripened ears ^than it could
Dromise at the beginning of that
month," the department of
agriculture says iji issuing the
October crop report forecasting
a yield of 2.900,511.000. Practically
without frost damage,
assuring high feeding value.
Husking and cribbing has begun.
Blight, scab and black rust,
together with minor ills, brought
the good early prospects for
spring wheat in north central
producing section down until
the reckoning now shows almost .
t AAA AAA I 1 1-1 1 1 M
o;vw,uw uusneis less tnan rorecast
a month ago, the total crop
being placed at 204,170,000
bushels.
Cotton Fife in Rock Hill.
Sunday night the central compartment
of the John T. Roodey
- warehouse, just north of the
Southern railway station in Rock
Hill, was discovered on fire and
but for the timely arrival of the
fire department, it was believed
that the entire btiilding and its
contents would have been destroyed.
The central compartment
of the warehouse is rented
by Mr. Roddey as a State wareroom,
with John A. Black as
custodian. Mr. Black stated
that there were between 600 and
700 bales of cotton in the building,
some of it belonging to the
4 Victoria cotton mill and some
to the farmers of Rock Hill section.
The loss was estimated at I
about $100,000, which was fully
covered by insurance.
Has Boll Weevil Expert.
The State Crop Pest Commission
has decided to station a
boll weevil specialist in Columbia
for the remainder of the season,
and has sent Mr. J. A. Berly to
Columbia for the purpose. He
will have headquarters at the
Livestock Sanitary Office of
Clemson College, Union National
Bank Building, and will be prepared
to issue information with
promptness and to grant necessary
permits to all who need
- them without loss of time.
The rapid advance of the boll
weevil and the great activity in
the shipment of cotton, seed and
hulls makes this step advisable
because of the necessity for
frequent, changes in the boll
weevil line. Shippers and the
public generally will find Mr.
Berly's services easily and
quickly available.
Mr. and Mrs. C. S. McMurray,
of Rock Hill, and Joe H.
McMurray, of Charlotte, were
guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs.
J. H? McMurray in this city.

Delio Phillips was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff J. E. Watkins a
few days ago charged with
violating the prohibition law, by
having in her possession four
and a half gallons of contraband
booze. It is said by the officers
that the woman has been going
to the mountains of North Carclina
by automobile and bringing
back the contraband which she
would dispose of at fancy prices,
thus making a handsome profit
