Rev. T. M. Stevenson, new pastor
of tho Kershaw Presbyterian church,
will arrive in Kershaw this week in
time to fill his preaching appointments
both morning and evening.
Mr. Stevenson comes from Lowreyville,
where he was pastor of the
Presbyterian church for several

E. W. Cox, who resided north of,
town, just a short distance above the
Kershaw Cotton 'Mill village on the
Kershaw to Lancaster highway, had
the misfortune to lose his dwelling
and most of his furniture by fire I
about eight o'clock Monday morning!
The fire was discovered by one of the
children of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Cole,
who was passing on the way to
school and observed smoke issuing
fiom the roof. The fire was brushing
between the ceiling and the roof
and soon broke through after. being
discovered, the flames making such
head way that there was no hope of
saving the building. Only a portion
of the furniture was saved. Mr. Cox
had only a small amount of insurance
and the loss falls heavily upon him.
The family have moved into the
house on the place of Rev. J. M.
Neal, known as the Preston Horton
I situated farther north than his
old home and between the Fork Hill
road and the Highway from Kershaw
to Heath Springs.
Hen Laid 24 Pounds of Eggs
White Leghorn pullet owned by
George Weathers chicken farmer of
Orangeburg .County, South Carolina,
has laid twenty- four pounds of eggs
during the past ten months.
This hen was entered by Mr.
Weathers in the National Egg Laying
Contest now being conducted a:
McCormiek, South Carolina, and
weighed, when entered, slightly over
three and a half pounds. She has
probably developed into a four pound
hen and consequently has laid six
times her weight in eggs in l?ss than
one year.
Such production as this makes the
egg business a profitable one and
proper selection and breeding go a
long way to growing out hens to
make such records.?Orangeburg

Daring Holdup and Shouting in
Heart of New Orleans
New Orleans, Oct. 3.?Fifteen'
suspects had been taken into custody
tonight in connection with the daring
holdup today of J. Douglas Acomb,
cashier of the New Orleans State,'
in which he was probably fatally j
wounded and relieved of $6,844 in
cash.
His condition was said to be very
serious and physicians announced he
had little chance to recover. A'
blood transfusion was resorted to in
an attempt to save his life.
The Daily States Publishing corn,
pany this afternoon offered $1,000
reward for the arrest arid conviction
of the holdup men. ,
Mr. Acomb had stepped out of an
automobile with a satchel containing
the money in his right hand. He
started into the main entrance of the
States building when one of the bandits^
who held a pistol in his left'
hand, grabbed the satchel .with his1
right hand and darted away after
sending a bullet ploughing through
the cashier's abdomen.
"Call an umbulance," Mr. Acomb
directed as be walked toward his office
jui the first floor of the building.
^"hen he collapsed and would
have fallen had not two men caught
him.
The bandits escaped in an automobile
^vhich they later abandoned.

H. M. McLaurin and Hugh Byan
Will Plant Seven Acre*
Following a trip to the McCoy
farm at Maebee Wednesday, J. M.
Kleazer announced Thursday morning
that Messrs. Hugh McLaurin
and Hugh Ryan of the Wedge field
aectiorj grape vines to plapt seven
acres.
"Our trip to the McCoy farm was
a revelation us to just what can be
done with grape culture in this section
of the state," said Mr. Eleazer.
"Mr. McCoy showed us several acres
of grapes which he has grown, many
of the vines producing bunches of
grapes weighing five or more pounds
to the J>unch. These grapes are of
the European variety and are much
superior in size and sugar content
to the same varieties produced in
California. ,
Mr. Mcl.aurin was so well pleased
with what he saw, that he contracted
with Mr. MoCoy for sufficient grape
plants which will be planted on the
McLaurin and Ryan farms at Wedgel
field. Most of the grape plants selected
were of the famous Hunisa
variety."-?Thursday's Sumter Item.
The population problem is one of
Immediate concern to the globe,
warns Professor E. M. East of Harvard
. University. Available 'food
I supply, he states, can eventually sustain
a total of only 5,000,000,000
persons, which number, judging by
the current rate of increase, will be
reached in about 100 years.
Superstitious peasants of Germany
say a lottery ticket bought w^ith
stolen money is usually a winner.
Copper rings are worn on the fingers
in Turkey to prevent erysipelas.
If the ring has been stolen from
someone it is supposed to answer its
purpose twice as well. These superstitions
arise from the desire of the
criminal to find some excuse for his
delinquencies.
