TO PLANT MELONS
Farmers Around Bennettsville Be-
Ginning New Industry

For two or or three years the
farmers around M~axton, Lau-

Hastyhave made Il lot of money
on cantaloupes and water melons.
Last year these profitable crops
we're planted in the Gibson and
McColl communities.
The melon industry is now
reaching Benrcttsville, and several
will plant these crops here this
spring.
e.. ID. Graham will plant rs
acres of cantaloupcs and 10 acres
of ~watermelons in and near town.
Arch p. Breeder will plant a.
bout 50 acres of watermelons a.
bout a mile north Of town, and w.
nj. Smith will plant several acres
of cantaloupes at his plantation
three miles north of town.
Many have hcsitated to plant
c%antaloupes and watermelons here,
car ing that there would not be
enough to secure adequate ship.
ping facilities and buyers. These
conditions + going to be
changed, however. Messrs. Ora
ham, Smith and Breeder will be
glad to have others join in with
them in loading the cars and find
ing the best markets.
The melon industry is said to be
much more profitable than cotton.
Several instances are known where
more than five hundred dollars per
acre, clear profit, have been made
on cantaloupcs. 1t is probable that
IN the near future there will be
buyers here bidding on melons as
they now bid on cotton, and they
can be sold by the wagon load Or
can load right here in Benefits
lie, to be shipped north.

A SAD ACCIDENT
Little Martin Fletcher Killed in a
Runaway

McColl,' Apr. 2O.-While re-
turning from church at Pine Grove
Sunday morning a very sad acct
dent occurred to Mrs. Jno. F.
Fletcher and two children. 1t
seems that while driving down n
hill near McNair's pond one OF the
hold-back straps broke and at once
the horse went to running. Both
children we're thrown out and
Martin, a little boy about ten
years of age, was thrown against
a log badly fracturing his skull.
The little girl was not hurt. Mrs.
Fletcher still held to the horse for
some distance until he ran into a
wire fence and threw her out,
bruising her right badly.
Little Martin lived until 1:45 p.
m, Monday then breathcd his last.
The host of friends sympathize
with Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher in
their sad bereavement.
The remains will be laid to rest
in Beaver Dam cemetery tomor-
row.

EASTER SUNDAY GLORIOUS
Protracted Meeting at Baptist
Church Postponed

Easter Sunday was a glorious
day in Bennettsvillc and the
churches remembered the OCCASION.
On account Of the meeting of the
Pee Dee Prcsbytery at Chcraw
there was no services at the Pres
bytcrian Church as DR. Mcleod,
the pastor, was in attendance on
the meeting of Prcsbytcry.
In the Methodist Sunday morn
ing Rev II f. Turnipseed faced a
tremendous congregation. Flow
ers had been placed on the pulpit
and around on the platform and
every seat was filed, several hay
ing to take seats in the Sunday
school room. Mr.. Turnipsced's
sermon was unusually interesting,
and helpful. The choir had prac-
ticed for the songs of the day and
this was shown by the good mu.
sic.
At the Baptist church Rev. c. A

Jones faced another crowded house
and here also flowers we're in
evidence. The Easter spirit perva-
ded the exercises of the day and
Mr.. jones' sermon was in accor-
dance with it.
On Sunday night there were no
services at the Methodist church
as they were dispensed with in ia
vor of the Baptists and oil repair
ed to the Baptist church. Mr..
Jones preached a strong sermon
on Shining against the Holy
Ghost" and in his discussion of
the great sins of the people and of
the objectionable sin he was given
close attention.
Mr.. Jones announced that the
protracted meeting which had been
announced to begin with the SER
vices on Sunday night had been
postponed. Mr.. Jones was unable
to get II to help him and he said
that he was very sorry to announce
that the services had to be post
poned but it is probable that at
some near date in the future the
protracted meeting will be held.
