Two Hundred Dollars Short.
The Farmers Union corn prize fund
still lacks nearly 5000 Of the $500, that
it is desired to divide among the three
most successful corn raisers. There
have been liberal contributions from
Yorkville, Rock Hill and Glover, and
from individuals throughout the coun-
ty, not members Of the Union, but
anxious to further such a worthy OBJ
ject as stimulating corn production.
Many of the local Unions have sub
scribed quite literally; but still the
amount desired is not yet in sight.

edge all subscriptions that may be re-
ported to it in amounts of 81 or over.
Subscriptions are payable to Mr.. A.
L. Black, treasurer Of the Farmers
Union on or before Sept. l, 1908.

Sure Cure For chjssers,
The June bulletin Of the Missouri
state board Of health has q very time
| ly article on the cure OF chiggeTs, TRe
article shows that erysipelas and blood
poison have followed severe attacks OF
the chiggers. The chigger Is not an
| insect but Is known as mite, ana IN
many sections they are called harvest
mites, as that Is the time Of year they
appear. The best cure for killing the
mites and to relieve the Irritation Is
hyposulphite Of soda This Is dissolved
| in water. until a saturated solution Is
obtained and the solution Is applied to
the spot where the chigger entered the
skin. Usually one application Is suff1-
cient, but sometimes two or more are
necessary. This solution Is not harm
full nor disagreeable, except that there
! is a smarting when the skin Is sore
from scratching. If the solution Ia ap-
piled to the skin and allowed to dry
without wiping 1t off, 1t will absolutely
prevent chiggers entering the skin for
day or more.

| Bub Adams shot and mortally
| wounded Charlie Adams at Glover
| last Friday afternoon. Both are ne
groes There had been bad blood be-
tween them for some time. On Fri
day afternoon Charlie Adams was CIV
| ing some impudence to Mr.. Reuben
Mccall in front of the latter's store on
Kings Mountain street. Bub came
along and catching the drift of the
situation, reproved Charlie for his dis
respect to a respectable white man.
Charlie at once drew his pistol and
threatened to kill Bub. Bub drew
pistol also and got in the first shot.
The bullet took effect in Charles LEFT
side, passed around to the right side
and lodged in his kidney. The wound
ed man fell, paralyzed below the
waist. He was taken to Charlotte Tor
treatment; but there seems to be but
little probability Of his recovery. Bup
ran away; but afterward came back
and surrendered to Constable Andy
Quinn, and Magistrate Faris had him
sent to jail.
