PROMISE FAIR YIELD.
Crops Around Parksville Small
But Promising. Delegates
Elected to Sunday School
Convention at Trenton.

The. crops in this section AM
in face in western Carolina so ia
as I have observed are small and
backward on account of too mucl
rain. The two or three weeks, how
ever, of sunshine preceding the las
seige of rain, gave the farmers ;
chance to clean their crops, ant
though small in many, sections
promise a fair yield. The highly
manured corn either planted on ths
Williamson plan or, for the prize
contest is sgrowing since the last rain
and a good yield of corn is possible
even yet, notwithstanding the ad
verse conditions prevailing during
planting time!
A great many people from the
surrounding county came into
Parksville during the last week
some of whom were O. o. Seigler,
fof Seiglertown, Mr.. Press Strom, of
Rehoboth, and Mr.. Will Reel and
his interesting little boy from
Clsora. We give these gentlemen 8
glad welcome and hope they may
come oftener.
Some of our people also visited
other communities. notably Miss
Emily Beall and Addie Bell who
spent a pleasant time among kins.
folks at Rehoboth. They found your
valued correspondent, Subscriber,
suffering from a broken rib. Hope
he will soon be o. X. again.
The following delegates were
elected by the Parksville Baptist
Sunday school to the convention to
meet soon at Trenton: j. c. Nor.
gan, John r. Blackwell, John Bus:
sey, L. F. Dorm and James Parks.
We hope they may have! a fine meet
ing.
Miss Anna Bell Riser, a former
teacher, is visiting her friend, Miss
Sallie Parks. Miss Anna Bell has
been teaching the past year In New
berry, and now prefers to recuperate
here in preference to a more famous

ings on the Carolina side, and its
promoters could have had it incor.
porated under the laws of Georgia
instead of Soth Carolina, making its
property returnable for taxation in
the former state. Through the In
fuence of Mr.. Dorm, who has beer
the company's local manager fol
several years, itwas made a South
Carolina corporation, consequently
whatever benefits accrue wills be
reaped by the people on this side Of
the Savannah. A thousand thanks

Patronize The Concord
Nurseries. !

To my friends and patrons
throughout Edgefeld and Saluda
counties:
l beg to say, l fear I will not be
able to visit the home of every land
owner in the interest of the well
known, and Justly popular Concord
Nurseries of Georgia, but any one
wishing to inspect our line of fruit
or ornamental tress, Tan notify me
through the mail, and l will call on
them with pleasure.
/ would call special attention to
the ever-bearing mulberry, which
begins to drop its fruit early in
spring and continues through the
summer, being very valuable for
hogs and poultry. One tree is worth
a barrel of corn every year. 1t is
also valuable as a shade and OF,
namental tree, and will bear the
second year. One Of my customers
says he has one that he would not
take twenty-five dollars for.
Drop me card at Edgefeld,
when in need of any kind of trees
or flowers.

Charges of Performing Criminal oper-
alton Made Against Wellknown
cIaremore Physician.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct 15.-The state
board Of medical examiners has re-
voked the license of DR.. J. M, Means,
a prominent Claremore physician, on
the grounds that he performed a Grim
inal operation at Independence, Kans.,
on Tulsa society girl who afterwards
died in the Tulsa hospital.
The charges were filed against DR..
Means by Or. Ross Grosshart, of Tul-
sa, who waited on the girl at the Tulsa
hospital and took her dying statement
concerning the criminal operation
The name Of the girl is withheld
by the state board on account of the
fact that her family is well known
in Tulsa, and the disclosure of the
daughters disgrace would at this time
do no justice.s 1t is stated, moreover,
that very wealthy Tulsa oil man is
involved, and that should the story
ever come to light or the grand jury
take the matter up, a scandal in high
life would Immediately ensue Much
mystery surrounds the case, and es-
pecially. young man who appeared at
the Tulsa hospital a few days before
the girl died and claimed to be her
iiance. This young man, drummer
who passes through, Tulsa, remained
with the girl until she died The mat
ter has not yet been brought before q
grand jury because of the uncertainty
as to whether Kansas or Oklahoma
was the home Of the crime. if there
was such.
DR.. Means filed an answer with the
board several days ago, denying the
.cnarger in every particular, but failed
to appear today. and his license was
revoked. He is said to stand well
with Claremore society and to own
a sanitarium in the radiump water
