^ Cotton Bagging for Cotton
Bales and Fertilizer Bags
WHAT MR?ATS0N SAYS.
After Much Labor Mr C Hinnon Spivey
of Galivants Ferry, Succeeds in Interesting
the Natipnal Irrigation
and Drainage Congress in Draining
Chinnis Swamp.?Now Urges the
Use of Cotton Bagging for Cotton
Bales and Fertilizer Bags.
Several months ago I took up the
matter of reclamations of our overflowed
lands with the National Irri
gation and Drainage Congress and
with the aid of H >n E J. Watson,
an important member of both these
M congresses and our present State
Commissioner, I have succeeded in
getting the government to turn
their anl and ; tteution to the draining
)f Chinees Swamp and its tri"f
hutarhs, and February 1st, 191*2, is
th j diy appointed for the perfection
of th 8 organization, wnieti is
the li \-t drainage league of Horry,
and we do earnestly request tha'
thj stockholders. S ate und CountCurLinUi-'onors,
private individuals
<tud ail persons wqo are interested j
in ih's meeiing to be present,
J ci) not diem it necessary to
point out the addition to the aunual
productive weahh or the taxable
pr ?p?rty of the county that will
follow ih * s lccess of a properly conducted
movement along ibis line.
i{jt. T do consider it of ihe greatest
I u p >rtanoc that every man residing
in ihe drainage territory to realize
the imp Ttat ee of organizing to ao<i<?ir
pb? h the desired rod, and for
tnis reason I particularly urge a
m J;ii i/? acd r? presentative attendance

1 ouly want to see thetiure
come when this tun and will be d'ine
for eventually it must be done. Tne
only thing that stands in the way of
cotton bagging now is the tare syst

marketing which will ha/e to be

bagging can or will be generally
used. If u were used under the

Gipsy Boy Killed.
About last Sunday, a baod of Gyp
sies, consisting of four men, two
women and two boys, camped across
the lake near Snow iiiil, having
come from the Little River section
* where they had been horse trading
? The two boys were out hunting in
' the woods on last Monday evening,
) and while the youngest, who was
? about 14 years of age, was resting
ihe butt of his gun on a fallen log,
the gun slipped from his grasp, the
4 butt striking the ground, and the
i hammer of the gun coming in coni
tuc with t.ue log, the entire load of
shot went into the boy's body under
J neath the left arm, and int6 his left
side. The gipsy family hastily
brought the boy to the office of D-.
R. R. Burroughs, whe e an operation
was performed and most of the
t s lot taken out. But the load had
struck a vital spot, and the boy
gradually sank until the early morn"
ing when he died. The boys relatives
were prostrated with grief.
e They are said to have come original;
ly from Brazil, and are mixed Span
iard and South American Indian.
b Wit h their rough clothes, unshaven
- beards, and dirty faces and hands,
? all smoking pipes of tobacco, the>
> m ide a strange appearance on the
Maiu Street, as they passed back and
forth during ho time that the boy
was in the doctor's office.
Bad luck seemed to be following
'* the oand, for at Little liiver stx
n horses had been poisoned and died
* They sent 'phone messages elsewhere
f to relatives telling of the boy's
e death, and it was stated that thej
n would ^a'.<e ihe remains to Memphis,
e Tenn , for burial The boy wu>
" bright and healthy and strong on
r.he evening before as he passer
about the stores, as boys will do.
The bjdy was buried here yester
day.
