Mr. Eugene Hogan, who has n
truck farm In the vicinity of the city,
Is making a success In growing clover
for forage. He planted clover In his
oats and when the oat* were harvest?
ed the clover was as tall as the oats,
which gave him a fine lot of forage.
The clover has grown rapidly from
the stubble and Is now ready for the
second cutting, and he will get a
heavy crop of the best quality of
clover hay from this second crop.
Those who have believed that clover
will not grow In thin section should
Inspect Mr. Hogan's clover field.

A good many of the patrons of the
telephone company are werked up
over the proposed Increase in the
ratee of residence phones. There is
no reason for excitement. The rate
cannot be Increased without the con?
sent of a majority of the subscrib?
ers and the permission of city council.
If l majority of the patrons of the
telephone company are opposed to
the proposed Increase In rates the
remedy Is in their own hands?they
can refuse to sign the petition to
council asking that the telephone
company be permitted to increase the
residence rate. It is up to the tele?
phone company to satisfy the sub?
scribers that Increased rate Is reason-'
able and Justified under present con?
ditions. If this showing Is made a
majority of the subscribers will prob?
ably sign the petition; If they can?
not make this showing the majority
will not sign.

Attention is Invited to the card of
J. B. McLaughlin, Esq.. of Brahop
vllle, who Is a canldate for solicitor

Mr. McLaughlin was appointed to
succeed Solicitor Wells and In the
short time he has occupied the office
has made an enviable record as a
prosecuting officer. He is careful a.m
painstaking In the preparation of his
cases and is Indefatlgihle In the per?
formance of his duty.

A few dogs have been taken up for
running at large unmuxsled, but the
ordinance Is not generally observed.
Main and Liberty streets, In the
public district, are comparatively free
from stray dogs, But the side streets
are almost as badly Infested with un?
muzzled dogs as ever. A dog catcher
who will be on the Job ten hours a
day Is needed. If the law Is to be en?
forced.
The candidates fot* county offices
are hunting votes about as energeti?
cally as ever known and if a full vote
Is not polled In the first primary it
will not be their fault.

Work will be started on the new
Episcopal church soon.
The sewerage system has already
tost $71.000 and there are still more
than five miles of sewers to be laid,
hence It Is but reasonable to conclude
that the total cost of the system, as
I planned, will be not leys than $lo">.
in>o. Therefore. It Is not a propitious
time for the city to undertake any
Mfl nslve dralnuge or street paving
eontracts. The authorized Issue of
s.-wertiKe bond* Is only $50.000 and
the remainder of the cost of the sew
t/sge system must be provided for out
of the regular income, consequently It
Is difficult to figure out where the
money Is to come from to pay for
utrert paving or any other ambitious
and expensive undertaking In the way
of mnnlctpul Improvements, unless the
? Itv Is* to keep on borrowing money
fiom the banks on short term notes

Mr. Jim Rogers' horse, hitched to
? wagon took fright last Friday at
an automobile on South Main street
and ran away, causing a gnat thai
of excitement. He cume up to East
Liberty ami In turning the corner ran
into tbe u iK?>n "f Mr. Moses tlreen.
who*,, horse also became frightened
and tiny both t ogfther had a lively
raee. during which both wagons Witt
left behind In a shattered condition.
Mr. Rotors was thrown out and
painfully but not seriously cut ar,r'
bruised about the face und head.
) The construction of a railroad from
I Monroe. N. C. to either Charleston or
Georgetown via McBee, a station on
the Seaboard Air Line between Cheraw
and Camden has grouped considerable
Interest in this section of the State.
The men who are back of the enter?
prise are said to be the same who
built the recently completed Atlanta
and Birmingham line, which is to all
Intents and puroses a part of the
Seaboard system. They have purchas?
ed to McBee and Jefferson R. R.
which extends from McBee to Jeffer?
son and will complete this road to
ftiOlirOt, X. C. From McBee it will
be extended to either Charleston or
Georgetown and the question as to
which route will be adopted Is absorb?
ing Interest in Hartsville, Darling?
ton, Timmonsvll e and Bishopville. If
the road Is built to Georgetown it will
pass through Hartsville and either
Darlington or Timmonsvllle. If
Charleston Is to be the terminus the
road will pass through Bishopville
and Sumter. A line from McBee via
Bishopville and Sumter, would ap?
proximate an air line to Charleston,
and would traverse a fine section of
undeveloped country, between Sumter
and Charleston. If there is any
chance of the road being built to
Charleston, the business men of
Charleston, Sumter and Bishopville
should get together and work for It.
Darlington Is already at work trying
to Induce the promoters of the road
to adopt the Darlington route.

An interesting story as told by Harry A. Glazier, a promi?
nent Fireman of Maiden, Mass: " Last winter I had a severe
cold and it settled on my kidneys, causing the most excruciat?
ing pain almost every time I attempted to move; I had tried
everything imaginable to get relief, with no success, until I wsn
advised to try 44 Bloodine,*' which to my great surprise, gave
me relief almost from the first dose, and before I had taken
one bottle I was completely cured." M Bloodine ** Is a wonder?
ful vitalizing tonic. If the blood is impure, complexion bad,
appetite lost, strength gone and the whole system is upset by
an accumulation of humors, it is time to try ? Bloodine today.
