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

^ 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.

WILLIAMSBURG'S TEN ACRES.
Wbo Can Match Mr Baxley's Re- j
markable Yield?
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,

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.

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."
