Explosion Kills
Three At Newberry
Newberry, Nov. 17.?Three bodies
were taken today from the smouldering
ruins here which were wrecked
by a mysterious explosion and fire.
While u complete search of the'
wreckage had not been made, firemen
said all persons in the building1
when the sudden blast roared out last
i ight had been accounted for and that
the death list definitely was established
at three.
.Jessie Mays, lb, clerk in the W.
Frank Lominack hardware store; .J.
T. Walls, a mechanic employed
by the State Highway department,
and .Joe Brown, negro porter employed
at Lominack's store, were killed.
Seven were injured and the damage
was estimated by the fire department
in the neighborhood of $100,000.
Boss Wilson. a lumber truck
driver, who was cut by flying glass
and possibly suffered internal injuries.
was described as in a serious
condition this morning.
The other injured were W. C. Lominack,
owner of the hardware store,;
cut about the face, neck and legs; Ed
I.owery. clerk in the store, eut about I
the head; Nat (list, a cotton buyer, J
cut about the head and shoulders; and j
three ten-year-old children, Ibrannon
Yarboro, Gordon Leslie and Bennett
Goodman, cut by flying glass.
Windows in buildings two blocks
from the scone wore scattered by the
terrifTic explosion. Officers investigating
the explosion were considering
the possibility that- dynamitestored
in the basement of the hardware
store was detonated by explosion
of an oil stove in Pappa's Cafe
next door, but had settled upon no
theory. The other building wrecked
was that of the Home Stores.
Coroner I. H. Wilson impnneled a
jury which viewed th?* bodies, but
postponed holding an inquest until
those injured are able to testify.
A total of $2,800,00 is to be spent
for new building construction at 14 i

Visited By Snow
San Francisco, Nov. 18.?Roaring
in from the ocean, a storm brought
heavy snowfall in the Sierra .^Nevada
mountains today. Two deaths and
'a score of injuries were laid to the
j blinding rain in northern California,
i The weather bureau said the storm
would extent! over a wide area, reach;
i'ng north to Puget sound and south
i through the California valleys.
I Twenty-eight inches of snow had
already fallen ut Donner summit and
I ten inches at Tohoe City. One inch
I of l ain fell in San Francisco w ithin
i six hours, drenching thousands who
! sat in the downpour to witness the St.

I Forge Shoes Solved
Mystery Of Valley
I Chicago, Nov. 1*2.?At last it,has
I come to light why some of the sold;
iers at Valley Forge probably lost
their shoes!
A letter fro Col. Ilufus Putnam of
Washington's forces, to supply hend!
quarters, put on exhibit by the Chicago
Historical .society in connection

this order:
L "Please to procure for my regiment
one set of dice and place the same
to account of the Fifth Massachusetts
regiment, for which the officers are J
to be held accountable."
It seems the ice-bound soldiers1
shot something beside Redcoats after
all.

He was rushed to a hospital but

Alice
Claimed By Death
Westerham, England, Nov. 10.?'
The family and neighbor* iiCthi* quiet
country side prepared tonight for the
funeral of "Alice in Wonderland."
r Mr*. Alice Liddell llargreavea, 82,1
who as a child had inspired the staid ,
Oxford Don, Charles Dodgson (Ix>wis|
Carroll), to write his beloved fantasy,!
died laM night after an illneas of j
two weeks.
Mrs. liargreaves suffered a heart |
j attack while motoring two week* ago, |
and was in a coma until death. The I
body will be cremated and .burial will
be ut Lyndyurat, Alice's former Now
Forest home.
The original Alice, in her latter
| years, was a gracious old lady, living
a placid lite in the countryside 80
miles out from London.
She lived with memories of Lewis
Carrol] and the tale he had woven
for her of the little fair-haired girl
who had tumbled down the rabbit's
hole into a fantastic wonderland,
where she was entranced by the lugubrious
mock turtle, the mad hatter,
| the sleepy dormouse, the weeping
I walrus and the carpenter and others
I of that odd land.
In her maturity, few excitements
| came to this aging Victorian lady, but
| one of the big spots was a visit to
New York two years ago, in connection
with ceremonies .marking the
100th anniversary of Lewis Carroll's
birth. IShe was feted in America and
given an honorary degree of doctor
of letters by, Columbia university.
Alice was the middle one of three
sisters to whom the sober, mathematician
don related his mad tales.
She was the author's favorite, and
when she and her sisters went to his
rooms and clambered up on a sofu
and asked him for a story, he told
one. Then he might take pictures of
the three of them, or sketch the queen
of hearts or other queer characters
from out of his story.
They would row up the river fine
summer days, and there would be
more stories. The Rev. Mr. Dodg&on
on such excursions dropped his professional
and clerical air along with
his somber every-day garb of black.
He wore white flannels and a stiff
flattish straw "boater" or sailor hat.
He told Alice of the wonderful adventures
on these lazily spent days of i
the little girl who had fallen down 1
the rabbit's hole, and found the
duchess and her smiling Cheshire cat.,
They sat enthralled while he intoned j
as he rowed:
"Please, would you tell me." said
Alice, "why your cat grins like that'.'"
It's a Cheshire cat," said the duchess,
"and that's why."
Or:
j "Oysters come and walk with us!
The walrus did beseech,
A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk.
Along the briny beaeh."
Mrs. Hargreaves always 'insisted
her favorite characters was the sorrowing
mock turtle. Her favorite
rhyme was the song about "Soup of
the Evening, Beautiful Soup."
?
More and Better Fruit
Clemson College, Nov. 19.?The
first year's growth made by a young
fruit tree is its most important year
in determining success, says A. E.
Schilletter, extension horticulturist,
urging more attention to home orchards
as an important factor in liveat-home
farming and in the farm
family's health.
For those making new plantings of
fruit trees Mr. Schilletter advises that
fall or early winter while trees are
fully dormant is better than spring
when buds may be starting .into
growth. His other suggestions briefly
are:
A first requirement is that the soil
he previously prepared by deep plowing
and pulverizing, subsoiling if the
subsoil is not sufficiently porous.
In selecting the stock, well grown
Juno buds or medium size one-yearold
trees are better than older trees,
which are more difficult to plant and
usually do not grow off as well as
young vigorous trees.
Varieties for the home orchard
should be chosen for adaptability to
locality, quality, and resistance to disease.
The names of suitable varieties
adapted to South Carolina conditions
may be obtained from the extension
horticulturists or the county
farm agent.
In planting it is much better to cut
the main roots to six or eight inches
in length than to leave them so long
that they may be bent or kinked in
planting. It is important to set trees i
slightly deeper than they grew in the1
.nursery and to tramp the earth tightly
over the roots without bruising
them.
The Democratic national committee
will soon start a drive to raise $500,000
to pay off its indebtedness by
January 1st. It will not ask for subscriptions
above $1,000.

M1KK WHITES A BONUS LKTTEK
aecker-terry of the treasure,
Washington, d. c.
deer sir:?
my son, scudd Clark, a world war
vettron, has aked me to rite or foam
you that he did not go to miamma
to vote on the bonnus bill which was
passed down there two weeks ago,
but he wants you all to know that he
is in favor of same and you all
mought as well get reddy to pay it
in cash this fall.
scudd newer went acrost, but he
was i Oddy at all times to face the
germans and itlay-ans and russions
in defense of his country for which
he was drafted to make it safe for
the diimpercrats, and as they have
now got it, they ought to pay for
same with the bonnus. wo can't
barely live on scudd's present government
monthly check of 7o$ for
getting gassed ansoforth.
the reasons the germans and other
euro-peans called olf the war when
they did, they had heard that scudd
Clark would he on the next boat going
over, and then they signed the
armis-tiss. it would of benn terrible
had he of got over there, he never
knows when to stop fighting and he
would of benn in berlin 2 days after
he got olf the ship at liwerpool if
they had of given him a chance.
scudd drawed only 473$ when you
paid him half of the last bonnus, but
i and him have figgered that the other
half will amount to 945$ oimer
count of the inerest which has piled
up while you have had the use of his
monney fc^r 7 years, 346 days, 74
hours, 25 minutes, and 10 seconds,
this is figgered up to december the
1, when the congress will meet to
ok the bill already passed at miamma
by the legion nairs.
if you can see yore way clear to
do so, plese send me a check on
scudd's bonnus account for 150$ and
i will turn all of it over to him but
118$ which he owes me for bored and
rent and lodging and meals and food
and clothing, he is not able to do
no fissical work except eat, fish, hunt,
shoot dice, pitch hoss shoes and set
in the pitcher shows onner count of
the gass he inhailed at camp oggleihorp
when somebody let the gass
spiil out of his ford in his tent.
uncle sam has had our monney
long enough, and in order to save a
I bonnus march on Washington of about
! 40000000000 ex-soldiers, the only
thing to do is pay up and shut up,
and we won't ask for nothing else
for 2 or 3 years, we won the war,
but you all loant all of yore monney
to europe, so get bizzy and collect it
and pay us, and the sooner the better,
yores trulie

PLAY BY PLAY
..I wblo\ved" myself to one of these
here so-called foot-ball classics a few
days ago, meaning that I went to
see two of the leading southern colleges
cross pig skins, in the first
place, I had to drive 126 miles. in
the second place, I had a puncture.
In the third place, I had to do without
lunch, and in the fourth place, 1
couldn't find any parking space within
2 miles of the gridiron.
..It took exactly 53 minutes to get a
ticket. The price of the ticket was
$2.00, plus 20 cents federal tax and
20 cents state tax, and then I had
to sit on a plank that must have been
designed for a chicken roost ... almost
at the 10 yard line going south.
And it was a-raining. And it was
about 32 in the sun. And I had on
my short ones. And I had the headache.

[ And the worst is yet to come. The
tallest man south of Philadelphia sat
| right in front of me and he wore
ja very high hat. When I wanted to
| see what was going cm, I had to peep
[under his right arm or betwixt his
legs.
. .Furthermore, the boy and girl who
had come a-courting, and chose to
sit right behind me, dropped goober
hulls down my collar, and bio wed
goober chaff and goober skins all over
me, and worse than that?she
spilt half a bottle of grape punch on
the back of my new (1929) overcoat. I
And he burnt the hair off the back
of my neck with his cigarette ashes,
but it mought of have been her ashes.
(I was afraid to look back as I didn't
want my eyes put out).
..The stranger who sat on my left
side punched my ribs into my gizzard
every time his favorite back, tackle
would make a good, or a bad or infield,
or short atop, or right play, or
fumble, or fail to intercept a wild
pass; he almost gave me the side
plurisy in my plurlsy side. And I
didn't enjoy him spitting his tobacco
ambeer all over nay shoes either. I
got Wen with him tho; I am aure

I to me.

I it was played in another town, that
