Lantern, November 20: Mr.. T. j.
Wallace Of Wellridge. is one of the men
who has made two blades Of grass
grow where one grew before" A few
wears ago he bought the old Richey
place, one Of the poorest in the county,
and has made it blossom as the rose"
He lately bought Mr.. S. M. McDilfs
ginnery and other machinery and Is
making it profitable. He started out
right to learn this business. He hired
to Mr.. McDill, a lifelong machinist,
when he was fourteen years old, ana
followed up the machinery for nine
wears. He is now very grateful to Mr..
McDill for taking pains to teach him
as much as possible about the business.
There is no estimating what a good
farmer and machinist Is worth to his
community. Mr.. Frederick John
son Atkinson is to be married NoVem-

been under treatment of DR.. Collier 1or
the past month, returned to her nome
Wednesday, much improved. Mr.. l..
J. Williams, chairman Of the state dis
pensary board of directors, has been
irving to split hairs in an effort to rec
oncile the assurances he gave the
Greenwood people when he was trying
to lead them into the dispensary trap
with the answer his board gave the Sa-
luda people when they were trying to
get out Of the trap. When he failed In
his effort to reconcile contradictory
statements, some of the naughty news
papers crooked their fingers at him and
he lost his temper and said ugly things
about good people. With the present
board continued in office, all that Is
needed to kill the dispensary Is little
time.

ed with forgery and who admitted his
guilt, was released from jail yesterday
