An ostrich, when in danger, buries its head in the sand. The ostrich brings to mind some merchants. When business is dull they drop out of the advertising columns. After the danger is over, they don’t realize it as soon as the man who keeps him self before the public all th« time. Mr. Harold Gibson took a trip over into York county Monday. He reports crops as being tine. He is also profuse in his praises of the good roads of Cherokeo county. He says those in Cherokee township are in better condition than he has ever known them to be in and ho has re sided in that township for the past fifteen years until he moved hack to Gaffney nearly a year ago. The re cent freshet had not damaged the corn on Kings Creek near so much as .Mr. Gibson expected. He will lose only about twenty-fjvo bushels out of eight or nine hundred. ——- **-.. —- — The Convict Ran. Supervisor Lipscomb was tak'ng a convict to the camp last Friday for u thirty day term. The darkey was handcuffed. Mr. Lipscomb was rid ing his horse. The negro managed to get the handcuffs otf and made an at tempt to escape. Mr. Lipscomb gave chase and for about a mile it was pretty lively. Finally the negro fell while going across a new ground. Be fore he could get up Mr. Lipscomb was on him. A rope was secured, the convict tied and landed in safety at the camp. His Skull Crushed.
