J. S. Truesdale, public cotton
weigher, reports 7,280 bales of cotton
marketed at Kershaw up to Monday
of this week. The sales, as well

in the county, show a very perceptible
decline in the quality of cotton
produced for the period ending
November 14, this year, as compared
with the same period last year.
Johnnie Turner, little son of Dr.
and Mrs. W. JB. Turner, had a very
narrow escape from serious injury
on Saturday night when he was
knocked down by a car driven by
... Lawrence Richardson of the Oakhurst
section. Johnnie was on his
way from his home to the home of
Mrs. Sallie Gardner, just across the
street. In going across he ran past
a wugon and as he passed it he was
hit by the car and knocked down,
but providentially escaped with only
minor bruises. Mr, Richardson did
not see the little fellow until it was
too late to Htop his car, and the nc\
cident was unavoidable under the
v? circumstance*.
