Mr. T. T. L. Hughes of Fountain Inn
doubtless holds the records as a rat
killer. In a letter to the Greenville
News, he says:
"Mr. Editor: On Monday, May 7.
we had a rat killing at my house that I
want to tell you about. We were fear
fully overrun with these plantation
pests and all hands and some of our
neighbors determined to slaughter them.
By moving some hay, fodder, peas, etc.,
we succeeded in killing 278 of the
rodents, besides the dogs ate a lot of
them that we did not count. We picked
up these and weighed them, and there
were sixty pounds of them. If anyone
can beat this I should like to hear from
them."

liam Wilson of the Watts Mills village
died Monday morning.
