gathered rapidly and the hum of
the gins is heard from morning
till night. The crop will be about
half the usual yield, and at some
places more than half already
gathered. The early picking is
being marketed as fast as it is
ready, notwithstanding the proba-
bility of higher prices. Upland
corn is poor but low lands are
pretty good and the yield will be
satisfactory If they can be gather
ed before an overflow.
We have not heard much talk
of sowing grain. Seed wheat and
oats are scarce and the poor yield
of the last crop has somewhat
discouraged the farmer in grain
growing. However, we hope to
see our farmers give greater
diversity of farm products. Two
much cotton has already destroyed
farm property and dissatisfied the
farmer and caused him to leave
his farm to be tenanted out to the
thriftless from whom but little
prosperity can be expected.
There are several candidates
for the Office of census enumerator
for Waxhaw Township. They
have their petitions in circulation,
but at present, We do not know
who has the lorgest pole, or which
one will get the coon.
Mrs j NJ Smith of Waxhaw has
been visiting her friends and rela-
tives around her old home. She
is looking we'll and pleased with
city life.
Mrs DR. Massey of Rock Hill
and Mrs Withers of Georgia are
visiting Mrs j N Nisbet and
family.
Miss Carrie McManus has a
position with her brothers, Messrs
S H McManus 6 Co, in their
store at Van Wyck.
The Fourth Quarterly Con-
ference for Van Wyck charge
was held at Belair church last
Saturday. The attendance was
small and the financial report not
up for fourth quarter. Per-
haps the fifth quarter will make
better showing.
Cedar Camp. w O w will meet
Thursday night, ut it's usual forest
in Van Wyck, to transact some
important business, and every
member should be present. There
will be several new members pres
ent to receive the protection de-
gree. Cedar Camp has been
steadily and some times rapidly
growing, until it has become the
strongest camp in Lancaster coun-
ty and one among the best in the
State. 1t las been very fortunate

but few months when death laid
his cold icy fingers upon him, and
removed our brother from the
cares of this life. But how fortu-
nate that he thought of placing
protection for his family in the
Woodmen of the World, and put
the thought into execution. He
placed policy for one thousand
dollars for the benefit of his wife
and children few months ago
and now that his strong arm is
stilled in death, he had the salts
faction to know when he had to
yield to the inevitable, he had
left to his loved ones, some help

PREDICTS
RATE WAR

a well known railway man OF this
city predicts that within fortnight
rate war TO Eastern points viii
commence between the Southern Pa
oine. Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways. lie says that a
biz cut In the present rates Is bound
to be made. and that as warm time
as that during the rate war of las;
year win be experienced.
In railway circles today there was
considerable talk Of n pending rate
war. which would probably result In
rates being cut In two. Railway
officials however were rcticent on the
subject. and several stated that there
was absolutely nothing In the story
The railway man who predicts the
rate cutting. said to a Star reporter
this morning: The present trouble
arose out OF the cut made by the
Southern Pacific TO get the National
Educational association TO travel
over its line. A rate was made much
lower than the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern ever thought OF.
"a protest was made by the North
orn Pacific and Great Northern rail-
ways.p but Il apparently has not
been needed. II the Southern Pa
ciic does not offer a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of its big cut in this par
tieular case. am In a position to
say that a rate war Will follow.
There are several minor causes
that lead me to believe that the pres
ent rates cannot be maintained. The
three lines are now at loggerheads
over both freight and passenger
rates, and II the uitimatum aent out
by the Northern lines to the South
ern Pacific is not given, the proper
consideration. lower rates will fol-
low"
At the G. =. r. Offices hore, nothing
but rumora Of pending rate war has
been heard. Several eastbound
travellers made enquiries at the ON
ces OF the other lines as to a prob
able reduction In the rate. and were
informed that there had been no de-
finite move In that direction yet.
An answer from the Southern Pa
cific IL. Il IL understood, looked for
In a day~or two.
