Weakened by moie titan one itundred hours in a limestone cave where he wit* imprisoned after chasing a fox into its den, "King," Vandy Kelly'a fox hound die i of pneumonia at fl o'clock this morn* ii.g. King had been without food or enter during the entire period of his imprisonment in lite underground pHs.*agc and iie contracted a severe odd which developed into pneumonia since la was removed from the at '! in o'clock Thursday morning/ Skillful hands administered to King during Ins last hours and everything for Mis comfort was done while there was life in the body of the faithful animal. The scene which attended the bringing of the body to an undertaking ( tablixhrnent heie this morning was pitlutic. din* remains were accompanied by Vandy Kelly and his brother Harvey, who made arrangements to have the body embalmed. King, however, may never be consigned to a grave. His owners are seriously eontcmplating placing the body in a museum in one of the larger cities where fie can be viewed by thouands of pel sons who have evinced mm interest in his rescue and who will be saddened by his death. His body will lie in state at a local undertaking establishment until final arrangements and a date set for a gathering of nil those who had a part in the rescue o! King. The group will be photographed. The^h.u helor brothers were visibly affected this morning. They showed the strain of the ordeal which they had undergone during the long hours of anxious waiting while a score or more workers burrowed into the fox den in an effort to release the imprisoned dog, and the last moments spent in giving him tender care in the effort to bring back his health. King was rescued from between tortuous rocks where he had become lastened after he had tracked his quarry into the fox den and therein engager! him in a struggle which resulted in the death of the fox. Ring was unable to make his way out of the underground tunnel until Thursday morning when Willie Nelson 19year-old farm boy made his way through the underground passage and by the aid of a piece of iron with a crooked end pulled the dog from the crevice. Despite his weakened condition he rushed from the place of imprisonment into the arms of Ilarvey Kelly who was waiting at the mouth of the cave. The dog went into the cave a week ago Thursday night and was released after days and nights of drilling and blasting through hard limestone strata. Kelly and his brother becoming alarmed at the absence of the animal instituted w search. They sought the cave long known as a fox den and began to investigate. Frequent calls brought forth strong vigorous barks, but Ring fastened between two huge bowlders was unable to extricate himself. Next day a force of men was employed to open the cave in the effort to liberate the animal. One force was employed during the day and another worked the night shift. Volunteers were numerous among the hundreds of people who visited the scene und men of smaller statue burrowed through the cave's mouth until within reach of the animal. Hundred of people who had watched the efforts of the workmen shouted with joy as Ring came out in the light of the lanterns. The dog was carried tenderly to the Kelly home and placed before a fire. Every effort was made to nurse the pup back to former strength but the strain was too much and he died this morning in spite of expert medical attention. W. R. Gregory Dead W. R. Gregory, well known and successful farmer and business man of Kershaw, died at his home a few miles south of that place Thursday morning after an illness of about two weeks. Mr. Gregory at the time of his death was about 03 years old and his passing will be learned of with much regret by his many friends. He is survived by his brother, Amos C. Gregory, and his sister, Mrs. Thomas IKackmon, and the following children: Mi.-n. Ernest Truesdale, Mrs. Claude Be':!. Ray Gregory and Clyde Gregory. Mi.

Df - . Mr. D. R. Coker has this to say of Cleveland Strain 6: "It ill ffi triumph of cotton breeding. I know of no cotton heretofore intrp* ft] duced which will be surer to make a maximum yield and an extra Jfi staple.
