K f DONE ELSEWHERE WHY NOT IN HORRY! k'i SL!!' Urrje Horry Farmers lo Cct S:cc! Wheat and r Plant It. " McRro.?The rirst car of wheat cvar .shipped fit)in McBee left here Tuesday tor 1 Arlington, whore it will be milled. Several more cars "vv ill be forwarded at an early <late. 'The raising of wheat in the sand hills was regarded by the farmers ho planted it as an experiment, but we results have so far exceeded their expectations that in all probability a larger acreage will be put in next year. The average yield per acre was 15 bushels and in some places where fertilizer was liberally used the yield went as high as 20 jjushels per acre. Practically all of the flour will be used in the town and community ol McRee, which, together with the "hog and hominy" and the thousands /if cans of fruit, vegetables and pre 4?erves will minimize the high co.st of living in this section. 0 A large acreage of peach oivhards and dewberries have been set out, insuring a plentiful supply for thhome market and foreign shipments in the near future. \ Several enterprising farmers 01 the community are considering plant ing early cantaloupes on a large scale next spring for shipment to Northern markets. FIRST OPENBOLL FROM ROWELL CROP Harrison Rowell who is runnin the Johnson farm in upper Bucks lownsnip Drought the urst open noli of cotton to tlie Herald office the season. It was open on July 29th. After removing the tobacco plant from the bed this Spring, .Mr. Rowe l planted the bed in onions. It won! I surprise anyone to see the six or sev en onions brought to the Herald of ficc this week from those grown o;i that tobacco bed. These onions wer? planted and used within ninety days This makes another instance of a farmer who is using land to produ < two crops the same year. Th ? onion W referred to are large enough to bring good prices on the market.

It is nothing unusual thiyear for a grower to bring in a loa< f'om his farm and go hack home with, several hundred dollars clear on VLi proposition; and at this point in tjpie season there is generally more t l acco :?t home still unsold of a bei tor grade. Jvffects of prosperity are seen on every hand. The tobacco growers are paying debts with this money some to them who owe debts.

TO PUNISH SLACKERS Washington.?Registered men who < resist the selective draft law face military coprtmartial for desertion and the possibility of execution for % desertion in time of war. The whole i military and civil power of the federal government and the civil power ( of the States, cities or counties will (] be employed to bring them to book. This was announced in a formal statement tonight by Brig. Gen. (j Enoch H. Crowder, provost marshal' y general, in response to reports from North Carolina, Georgia and Oklahoma of anti-draft disturbances. As 6{ yet the power of the federal government has not been invoked by the governors of the three States nor by p ti&e agents of the department of justice. The only official notice received in Washington of the disturbances was a telegram from the governor of North Carolina saying the registered men of two townships in that State ^ might refuse in a body to comply with the summons for examination. p< - The rain and thunder storm of last FViday evening was one of the worst this section has had in some time. The cloud was several hours in passing over. There was sharp lightning and a big down-pour of rain. p. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION!

Pitman as a part of tllP Pteiin "' 11 1 * .... vvvuvv vi me laic W. P. Melson, on the ground that the time limit in a deed for the timber made u number of years ago to W. A. Freeman had expired. After the death of W. T. Melson the heirs made a title to I>. It. Moulton for the purpose of having him make sales of the property if necessary to pay the debts due from the estate. He executed a declaration of trust whereby he v as to make a sale of the timber on the land and divide up the soil subject to the timber rights among the heirs at law. Mr. Freeman who 1 ought the timber from Moulton, sold his lights to lb W. Raper, and it was under I). W.
