C. Terrill, agriculturist of the Orange Hill section, just north of Cheraw. In charge of the operation will be House Morris an expert in this line. One of the largest tanneries in the state was located right in the center of the town on what is still known as Tan Yard branch.

The pay roll from this new enterprise will be another factor in the development of this town and section. Veteran Dies At Elliott Walter D.
