IND1ANTOWN ITEMS.
Belated bat Interesting Letter
from Wideawake Commanity.
Indiantown, March 4:?We have
just experienced one of the heaviest
snow-storms we have had in years.
All work has been at a stand-still for a
week and the present outlook isn't
very encouraging yet, as the snowstorm
has been followed by a slow
rain, which continues to fall. The
' roads have been almost impassable
and consequently there has been no
school here since Wednesday. It
was impossible for the teachers
to go.
"The Woven Web," which was
presented at Indiantown High school,
Friday, February 20, proved quite a
success and made a decided "hit",
in so much that they have been requested
to repeat it at an early date.
Miss Amanda Edwards, State organizer
)i the girls' tomato clubs,
visited Indiantown school a few
days ago to organize a tomato club
here. The girls manifest much interest
in the project, and hope to
win the championship this year.
Indiantown High school expects
to have a demonstration farm next
year. This will mean a great deal
for the school. Prof Lewis is enthusiastic
and we feel sure he will
make it pay.
Farmers of this section are blue
over the lack of progress they are
making. Some say that tobacco
plants have been greatly injured by
the cold.
^7 Some of cur farmers are experi/
menting with clover this year.
Clover is a good crop and, if properly
cultivated, could be made to pay
in this community, as the soil here
is well suited to its growth.
Mr Prank Rogers and Mr Harvey
Wilson, of the State University,
spent the week-end at Mrs M A
Wilson's.
Mr D E McCutchen went to Kingstree
Wednesday and was snowbound,
not returning home for a
day or two.
Our literary society is progress 1
ing nicely. We are all interested
workers. A Phylosophian.
Stubborn, Annoying Coughs Cured.
"My husband had a cough for fifteen
yea re and my son for eight
years. Dr King's New Discovery
completely cured them, for which I
am most thankful," writes Mrs David
M,-wir nf Sacinaw. Ala. What Dr I
King's New Discovery did for these
men, it will do for you. Dr King's

News was received here yesterday
of the destruction by tire of the
store building of Mr .1 Davis Carter
at Leo. Mr Carter saved a lot of
the stock and all the postotlice
property. It seems that the tire
originated in a nearby tenant house
and the high wind caused the burn- j
ing embers to be blown onto the roof
of the building. There were no
ladders around the premises and
before any could lie brought, the
building had been destroyed by the
flames.
