In a full page advertisement in to day’s issue of The Chronicle, the L. W. Rogers company,'operators of a large chain of grocery stores, makes its first announcement of the estab lishment of a store in Clinton. The new store is to be opened next Saturday at 27 Musgrove street, the former postoffice location, where, ac cording to their announcement, they are not only offering a large number of grocery values but where they are giving away a number of free food samples, bread knives, caps for boys, souvenirs, etc. 4 The coming to Clinton of this large and successful operators of a chain of grocery stores w>n no doubt be hailed with delight.in this community, for this company is one of the best known among the many chain store operators throughout the Southern states.

These are 'located in Greenyille, Spartan^ burg, Columbia, Anderson, Greenwood and many other cities, these stores being in a group of more than 100 operated outside of Atlanta. In near ly every city of any size in Georgia is located one or more Rogers’ stores, , Macon haying sixteen. , The company is made up of South ern men, mainly citizens of Atlanta, and all stock in the company is owned by local men and employees of the company. The company has very large buying power, in several instan ces taking almost the eqtire output of mills and factories, and as it operates no telephones and deliveries, it makes unusually low prices to cash customers. of fine corn planted in his bottom lands along Catawba river, most of it on the York county side. But the bottom corn is not much superior to the upland. And remember, some of the old folks say that this has been the dryest summer the Piedmont sec tion of the Carolinas has known since the memorable dry year of 1881. Mr. Ashe atributes’his good cotton and corn to the humus afforded by burr clover. There are few of his acres.that are not sown *(n this clover. He has had his tenants working early and late the past sqYeral years in put ting every available acre in burr clover. Every farmer on his broad acres qnderstands that he must sow clover. No matter what else he does he must sow burr clover. .There was some growling at first; but soon all ! came to see the value of it as a soil aloof and decline to do our, part, though we enjoy the benefit*.

The ladies of Clintbn, through organisa tion (with comparatively few mem bers, it must be admitted) have done much for the benefit of the town in the past, and there is much still to be done. We are moved to say these things by the report that an effort is being made to revive the all but dormant Civic Improvement A*4Qciation, the three words of which title represent three separate organisations of for mer days, all good. We hope the movement will be abundantly success ful. We urge that every lady—we mean EVERY lady, young, middle- aged or old,'married or single, at least all the* good looking ones!—will *put her name on the roll and pay the nominal dues and do her part in the activities. Why not have it to the credit of the town to have 100 per cent membership? Join and pay and keep up your dues, even if it is im possible to do much of the active work. Most can be active and then the work will be distributed so as not to be heavy on any one or a few. By being a member you can encourage those that can be active. The men ought all to belong as honorary mem bers, paying twice the fee of the ac tive members, to help the ladies with funds to chrry on their work. If we. are forward-looking, we men will belong to the Commercial Club, and we ladies*, will belong to the Ladies’ Civic Improvement Associa tion, and the men will help and en courage the ladies in their work as the ladies will help and encourage the men in their work. Properly, Ladies’ Night at the Commercial Cldb should be a joint meeting of the two organi sations. J>. J. BRIMM. Mr. and Mrs. John Tuesday to their home in Mr. and Mra. W. E.

New Albany, Miss., Sept. 20.—L. Q. Ivey, negro timber cutter, was burned at the stake by a mob which had taken him from officers near here this after noon. Ivey, according to sheriff John W. Roberts, confessed that he attack ed the daughter of a farmer in the Etah community, eighteen miles from here, Friday. He was returii- ed to the scene of the attack and burned to death. Over 1,000 persons were in the for weeks and weeks. Here at the home place is a field of some six or seven acres of corn. It was planted in July all on burr clover soiL Nitrate of soda in a most liberal proportion was used on part of that acreage. A marker was placed at the time in order to denote which portion of the corn had nitrate of soda under it and which part had only a fertilizer of burr clover. All over that field today the corn grows ten, twelve and fourteen feet high. It is healthy look ing and of deep green color. I was Buy Your nixiMAin V - ICE CREAM _ — and -v ESKIMO PIES — at — P. S.
