A VARIETY OF NEWS FROM SALTERS DEPOT. MOVING ACCIDENTS BY RAILFEMALE AVIATOR-BUSINESS CHANGE?PERSONAL. Salters. Depot, November 21:?Mr J.L Ring: in getting off train No 47 ^ last Wednesday evening stumbled and fell while the train was in mo"tion. Dr Gamble was immediately fummoned and found that he was suffering from a broken collar bone and a scalp wound. He is now getting along fairly well. One night last week when train No 47 blew for this station and the conductor called out "Salters," a colored woman grabbed her bundles, made a dash for the platform and jumped off about 500 yards from the station. The train was stopped and she was found to be O K, only shaken up a bit. Miss Hattie Tutle of Greelyville spent several days here la-t week visiting friends. Mrs William Salters and daughter, Miss Carrie, have moved back here, to the delight of their many I friends. Mrs J M Saltans, who has been in j the Rock Hill infirmary, is now im- j proving and we hope for her a sjvedy, recovery. I i Mr J M Salters went to Bennetts-! ville last week on business. Mr Ed Tutle, the jxjpular and efficient railroad agent, has treated himself to a fine horse and buggy. Mrs S M Gordon is quite ill at her home here. Dr I N Boyd's two children, who have been critical'y sick with pneumonia, are now better. Mrs W C Tart is now very sick. Messrs Fowler & Tart, who have been conducting a mercantile business here at Mr S D McKay's old stand, will discontinue business in the near future and, we understand, Mr McKay will reopen his store. Mr L T Thompson of Leland, 111, is spending some time here, to the gratification of his many friends. Mr J G Lifrage, our popular R F ^ D carrier, lost a fine horse he had purchased recently. Pneumonia caused its death. oui Cotton picking is about over. This morning when train No 80 stopped, two passengers got off and asked "if this was Suttons." On beIing assured it was not, one of them got back on as the train was pulling out. The other fellow got busy, but could not catch up with the day coach. As the Pullman car passed he managed to get onto the steps with his grip, bi^t the door on the step ijk was locked fast. The last seen of him was his coat tail flying in the breeze, ; he holding on for dear life. Efforts were made to sign the train down, . 5 but in vain. Salters Depot. COTTON CROP SHORT.

The following editorial article appeared in The State November 17: We print with pleasure and satisfaction the following letter from Editor Wolfe: To the Editor of The State:? While the honors for big corn crops are being conferred let it not! be overlooked that Daniel F Baxley ! of Vox postoffice, Williamsburg county, made 1,002 3-11 bushels of corn on ten acres of land, being an average yield of 100 bushels, 7 3-11 quarts to the acre. ~htKa Knlnn/1 tn ! WUtf U1 CMC IIJCI1 nnu iKip.u W| measure this corn was Hon B B Chandler, ex-county Supervisor and j Representative-elect from this county,who says that Mr Baxley undoubted}' made 1,002 3-11 bushels on ten j acres. So far as the writer is informed this remarkable yield on ten acres is unsurpassed in the State; it is a splendid record and speaks vol-; umes for the possibilities of Williamsburg's fertile soil. Out of 17 contestants in the boys'; corn club five produced more than 100 bushels on one acre, the highest yield being 135 bushels. There is also a men's corn club,and we are expecting some record yields for the county when the result is announced the latter part of the; month. Our people are enthusiastic over corn-growing and hog-raising. Such an impetus must bring good results and we exj)eet great things next, year. C W Wolfe, j Kingstree, November 14. The achievement of Mr Baxley ; must be regarded as one of the most' valuable demonstrations of reason-; able j)ossibilities of South Carolina's soil and climate made in this notable year of such demonstrations. It is presumed that the Williamsburg: farmer planted his corn on a strictly , commercial basis ? to grow the greatest quantity at the smallest, cost. He was not after records, but cheap corn. In such circumstances, , the production of more than one! thousand bushels on ten acres is bet-1 ler man a inuai grc?i.ei iciauvrj yield on one acre especially and ex- j pensively nourished. As Editor Wolfe says, it "speaks volumes for the possibilities of Wil-1 liamsburg's fertile soil"?and for South Carolina. Who can match Mr Baxley's ten acres. A Possum for Thanksgiving. Well, we got a possum for Thanksgiving, after all. Our big-hearted friend, Mr W SCamlin, of Andrews, who always divides with the editor the good things he has, sent us one of the biggest, fattest possums we have ever seen grace the festive board?one that would delight the heart of Bill Taft or any other mortal of epicurian taste. Flanking Billy Possum, as a fitting concomitant, the bag contained a bushel or two of fine yam potatoes, no lessim-1 portant in their way than the mar- j supial dainty that will form the| viece de resistance for our Thanksgiving dinner. (Hope you've got one too, Brother Bass). GO RIGHT AT IT. Friends and Neighbors In Kingstree Will Show Too How. Get at the root of the trouble. Rubbing an aching back may re- ^ lieve it, But it won't cure it. You must reach the root of it? i the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills go right at it; Reach the cause; relieve the pain, i They cure, too, so Kingstree peo- j pie say. Mrs K K King, W Main St.Kingstree, S C, says: "1 found Dean's Kidney Pills to be a valuable remedy.: 1 was afflicted for some time with dull,nagging backaches.often accompanied by pains in my loins and kidneys. 1 did not rest well and morn-, i +\.w ??,i lugs upon ariMIJg, l icit IIICU aim languid and had no ambition to bopin the day's work. The kidney secretions were so irregular in passage that I concluded my kidneys were out of oi*ier and hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box at Scott's drug store. 1 took them as directed and they helped me in every way. I am free from the pains in piy back and my kidneys are normal." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Mil burn Co., Buffalo,: New York, sole agents for the United States.
