A Corn Exhibit.
The idea Of York county corn ex-
hibit at the Charleston exposition,
seems rather out Of place year like
this. Unfortunately that is the way it
will strike most Of our farmers. Mr..
J. C. Blair Of Blairsville, however,
made an unusually fine crop, and 1t Is
Of such exceptional quality that Mr..
w. A. Love has engaged 300 ears Of
it for exhibition in Charleston.

Miss Bennie Carothers died at the
home Of her father, Mr.. T. M. Caroth-
ers, in the India Hook section, on De-
cember 2. Had she lived until tomor-
row., she would have been "a years Of

Smallpox on ohaIns.ns. +.
Two cases of smallpox developed on
the chaingang last Thursday. The VIC
Tins are two Negroes recently trans
ferred from the county Jail, where they
had been in contact with Will Jones.
Both had been vaccinated week OF
ten days before the appearance Of the
disease, and in both cases the vacci-
nation was successful. The Negroes
have been isolated and placed under
guard. VIII Jones, the original small
pox patient, is still in custody on prem
ises adjoining the Jail lot, and will
probably be released tomorrow.
Something Held Back.
Speaking Of the recent killing Of
John Bolin at the shooting match near
Hickory Grove, a prominent citizen of
that section said to the reporter
few days ago: II do not think that the
whole story has come out yet. There
were witnesses on the ground who ore
able, If they will, to state positively
who fired that shot. From what I
know Of all the circumstances and the
people involved, in g. general way,
am pretty sure Of this; but as to
whether the facts will be brought out
at the trial, am rather doubtful"
County Home Farm.
The ditching and stump-digging ope-
rations Of the chaingang on the coun-
ty home farm during the past few
weeks, have added materially to the cul-
tivable acreage, and there Is reason
to expect much larger crops next year
than have ever been made before.
There are quite a number Of expert
enced farmers who, being acquainted
with the situation, believe that this
farm can be managed SO as to make It
entirely self-sustaining. It Is admit
ted, however, that such a consumma-
ton would require much more intelli-
gent management and more work than
Is given to the average private farm.
