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.

(By James D. Grist, in The Yorkville
Enquirer.^
Less than ah inch of rain has fallen
on Hie corn and cotton fields of W.
N. Ashe, large farmer and brick man
of Van Wyck and Rock Hill, in the
past two months. .In fact the accu
rate record shows that less than one-
half inch has fallen on most of his
cultivated farnrlandrf'in that time up|
to Wednesday, whan this correspon

is fresh and green and highland it can
be said with truth that two ears to
the stalk is a fair average for the
greater portion of it. His cotton- is
waist high and some Of it higher. It
has a healthy, green appearance.
Neither has it all opened and popped
out, as is the case with thousands of
acres over the Piedmont section of
the Carolinas. Many of the / healthy
looking bolls have not opened at all as
yet and it is still growing. Kick the
soil anywhere,for a depth of three
inches, and you’ll strike moisture and
lots of it, about as much’moisture as
began operating stores in South Caro
lina, and today has about twenty in
operation throughout this state. 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*. Per
sonal animosities and jealousies ought
to he sunk into perdition where they
belong, and whence they came. 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.

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

Etah community, eighteen miles
from here, Friday. He was returii-

burned to death.
Over 1,000 persons were in the

some six or seven acres of corn. It
was planted in July all on burr clover

proportion was used on part of that
acreage. A marker was placed at the
time in order to denote which portion
