Several Bales of Cotton Stolen?
**Junior Order** Meeting.
Scranton, March 30:?An enthusiastic
meeting of Scranton council of
the "Junior Order" was held Tuesday
night, March 23. A change of
meeting nights was made. Hereafter
the meetings will te the first
and third Friday nights, instead of
the second and fourth Tuesday
nights. This change was made to
enable out-of-town merabej-s, especially
the farmers, opportunity to
attend oftentr, as the farmer will
come to town the latter part of the
week if he comes at all. The full
membership is urged to be present
at the next meeting.
Whether cotton is worth much or
not, some people have a "hankering"
for it. Several bales have been
stolen this season in and near town.
Mr R E McKnight thus lost one
bale from his ginnery near town.
One bale each from Messrs C E Graham
and W A Myers was removed
from the cotton platform at the
depot. Mr Hinnant Matthews is reported
to have missed one bale.
Monday morning it was found that
a bale had been removed some time
during Sunday night from behind
Mr Winslow Wright's store and
was transported to parts unknown.
It was conveyed on two skidi drawn
by a mule or horse to a point more
than a mile down the road leading
toward Lake City, where it was
dumped into a ditch, then loaded in
a wagon. Here the skids were left.
No further trace of the cotton has
been found. IMG.

Nesmith, March 23:?We are
having some very fine weather and
the farmers are taking advantage of
it. But it seems that they are expecting
rainy weather later on, by
the ditches they are cutting and
opening. Asking them the size of
their tobacco plants they make the
comparison with a silver dollar, but
they seem to be gloomy in regard
to the future.
Messrs ? Vause and ? McGill of
Kingstree were here Sunday.
We are glad to kn6w that old
Belin church is coming into its own
again, being now occupied regularly
instead of the Black Mingo Baptist
church at Morrisville.
"Laughing Bill", clerk at Ne mith
Mercantile Co's, was at home
with his parents Sunday.
Mr T P Steele was the guest of
his friend, Mr Maxie Hemingway,
Monday night.
We think that The County Record's
Nesmith correspondent must
mistake cow bells for wedding bells,
as we have failed to hear the latter.

A WildWager.
The Bremen Gateway makes this
'confident comment:
"A poultry man says he mixed his
meal with beef and fed his hens and
every one of them laid an egg 291
consecutive days. But that is nothing.
We'll bet a jill of jewsharps
you might mix the meal with some
of the Chattanooga liquors shipped
here and a hen would lay three eggs
at a shot, all of different breeds,
whip a whole covey of hawks and
scratch up four acres of oats every
day for a year."?Ex.
Enforce This Law.
The law relating to automobile
trucks that requires a license of $100
is now in force, and we would direct
the attention of all officers in the
county, Sheriffs, Magistrates, constables
and rural police, to see that
this law is enforced. Some may regard
the license too high, but if
these will follow in the wake of one
of those road monsters, and observe
the damage they do to our roads,
' and especially to our bridges, they
will agree with us that it will be
wise if they are debarred from the
highways altogether. One of these
automobile trucks laden with belly ^
wash, also known as soda-water,
weighs several tons, and when they
strike an ordinary bridge it jars
every joint, and loosens every plana,
very often breaking the planks and
thereby making any travelling dangerous.
We would urge Supervisors
to prosecute the very first truck
owner who defies this law; regardless
of who he is. We understand
that one of the owners of/a truck has
served notice that he will test the
validity of the act. Let him bring
on the test and if the courts decide
against the county, another act is in
contemplation which we know that
"Mr Belly-wash peddler" will have
to test before he will be able to run
his road-ruining machines on the
public roads of this county. Collect
the $100 license or jail the man running
over these roads in defiance of
law. It is not every time a threat to
test the law is made that it is done;
it very often turns out to be a great
big bluff, and inasmuch as such a

Here's a Kingstree case.
A Kingstree citizen testifies.
Read and be convinced. v
Mrs C M Chandler, Mill St, Kingstree,
says: "My kidneys gave me
considerable trouble. I had pains
in my back and sides, and could not
rest well. Mornings I was tired
and weak, and also suffered from
dizzy spells. The kidney secretions
passed irregularly. When friends
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills I
procured some at Dr W V Brockington's
Drug Store, and they relieved
me of the ailment."

Moaning Times.
When to Advertise.
Do you remember the fellow who
told the Arkansaw traveler that he
did not reshingle his house because
he could not work on the job when
it was raining and in good weather
the house did not need reshingling?
We are reminded of him by the merchant
who says that he cannot afford
to advertise when times are
hard, and he does not need to adver- <
tise when business is brisk. It is
useless to call such a merchant's attention
to John Wanamaker's example.
He made a fortune on the principle
of the man who drank whiskey
when he felt sick to make him feel
well and when he felt well to
make him feel better. John Wanamaker
made a fortune of millions by
mixing brains with printer's ink? }
but then he had the brains. He advertised
all the time, but most heavily
when times were dullest. His
theory was that when dollars in circulation
were scarce, the lion's share
of them went to the merchant who
hustled for them?and he considered
advertising the most profitable kind
of hustling.
