Reminisci.g in regard to his early
railroad experit noea. Mr. Coward

"Railroading then was nut m any
way '.ike it is today. Our engine
was about the size of a Ford and
j burred wood,. green wood at that.
The rails were made of wood withr a
?trip of ribbon iron about as thick
as a cotton tie tacked on them. I
i ran as conductor until 18G5. When
Sherman marched through South
Carolina his forces tore up the track
from Charleston to Montmorenci,
when Joe Wheeior stopped him at
Aiker. I was coming out of Ham
burg that morning and when our

"Health Conteat
Much interest has centered around
the health contest which all girls in
home demonstration clubs throughout
the county have entered. The girls
nre faithfully keeping all records re
quired, and each girl has posted in
a conspicuous place in her home a
placard bearing the slogan of the
contest, !'I will endeavor to make my
self my best exhibit."
The final contest will be held April
3rd at the Camden high school. All
4-H club girls are urged to keep this
date in mind and tomake every effort
to be on hand promptly at 10 o'clock.
All girls will bring their own lunch
and this will be taken charge of and
served by a committee from the

interesting program will bo carried
out and certificates will be awarded
to all girls who completed the course

MERCHANT ARRESTED
Spartanburg Man Charged With Set
ting Fire to Store
Spartanburg, March - 8. ? Charged
with setting fire to the store of the
S. A. & E. company, local clothier,
March 2, Abe Meyerson, president,
was arrested here this afternoon. Ho
was later released under $2,500 bond.
The arrest followed investigations
made by a detective sent by John J.
McMahan, state insurance commis
sioner,' at the request of local au
thorities, the commissioner informed
The Herald by long distance tele
phone. The loss through the fire was
placed by Meyerson in a statement
made to newspapers on the night it
occurred at $-10,000 to $45,000. He
> * -X
said then it was covered by insur&pce.
The affidavit to the warrant
charges that Meyerson "poured a
liquid, inflammable gas or kerosene
over the stock of the establishment,,
so that when the fire was ignited it
covered the entire building almost
simultaneously."
Further than declaring his inno
cence and that he expects to estab
lish that innocence at a trial, Meyer
son refused to discuss the charge
against him witfh newspaper men.
The publication in the London
Times of a charge that Virginia had
repudiated her bonds has brought a
denial from Ro swell Page, of Rich
mond, Virginia, and a challenge to
produce any repudiated bond.
