\ man living near Milton in Laurens
County, says he has five acres Of corn,

three ears per stalk would be 3,104 ears.
Counting 100 ears to the bushel it would
make l3l bushels pei acre. That's pretty
steep! He could drop off hundred

The campaign theatrical company
gave its performance here last Friday
according to contract. The acting was
fine and the stars were repeatedly en-

that the troupe bad been unnanage-
ab4e at some Of the exhibitions, eXcit-
ing the theatre-goerS; and NeWberry is
considered little comhustible herself
ESPECIALLY when she remembered the
play of two years ago, which began as
high comedy and nearly ended in ira
gedy. The exhibition Friday was OF
the serio-comic variety, comedy pre-
dominating, with good deal of farce
in it. Some actors seemed to play par
ticularly to the galleries. When the
curtain fell everybody felt satisfied. 1t
didn't rain for q wonder.
