be able to render patrons, but an in-1
stance at the Bank of Anderson last
week was more unique than the ordi-;
nary. Monday afternoon, November
7, a little girl brought to this institu. j
tion a few crisp pieces of paper money !
together with a letter from her moth- j
er, which stated that while doing the
family washing on Monday morning,
a bill collector came along and she;
took out her money and paid him, receiving
one $5 bill and three $2 bills
in change. She had some waste paper
in her hand, continued the letter, i
and thoughtlessly threw the paper
with the money into the fire beneath
the wash pot. When she discovered
(her mistake and recovered the pieces,
she found that she had salvaged less j
man one-sixtn 01 me Dins.
The afternoon mail carried these
pieces of the mutilated bills to Washington,
and November II, a letter
was received from the Treasury Department,
stating that upon receipt
of an affidavit as to how the money
was destroyed, and as to the character
of the person making application
for redemption, that the government
would forward $8 for the patron who
suffered the loss.
the combined efforts of President
Shaffer, of the C. P. A., and County
Agent Kinsey. It was composed of
hogs from several farmers, and the
average weight was 171 pounds. The
shipment was as fine and smooth a
bunch of hogs as was ever assembled
here. Many of them were thoroughbreds
and these demonstrated the advisability
of turning from scrubs to
thoroughbreds, on account of the
quicker growth and the smoothness
of the animals.
Those bringing in hogs for shipment
were J. W. Durham, Ivy Avant,
H. A. Crosby, John H. Peurifoy, Lee
Givens, T. R. Strickland.
Other shipments are contemplated
by the C. P. A. The next will be from
Lodge or Ruffin next Tuesday, and
another from Waiterboro Tuesday of
the following week.?Waiterboro
