Notes and Comments About Matters
Of Local Interest.

Lancaster News, September IS: We
republish elsewhere in today's paper
number of newspaper comments on
Justice Joness resignation and an
nounced candidacy for governor. 9th
er comments now in hand will appear
in the next issue of the News, it being
impracticable to print all of them to-
day. 1t is truly gratifying to Judge
Jones's Lancaster friends, whose name
is legion, to note the unanimity with
which his candidacy Is being endorsed
by the press of the state. Mr.. Will
son, on DR.. Poovey's Billings farm,
brought to this office Thursday after
noon a couple of sample stalks of his
fine cotton crop, one of them contain
ing over 13O fully developed bolls.
The cotton was fertilized with guano
made by the Catawba Fertilizer COM
pany of this place. Two applications
of the S-4-6 goods were made, and the
6-5-5 was used as a top dresser. AL
together 500 pounds of fertilizer to the
acre were used. DR.. Poovey Is well
pleased with the Lancaster fertilizer.
A change in the ownership and
editorship of the Winnsboro News and
Herald is announced in this weeks is
sue of the paper. Mr.. ]. Frank Fooshe,
the former editor and proprietor, has
sold the plant to Messrs. c. w. Nc
Cants and ]. Q. Davis, and Mr.. NC
Cants has assumed the editorial chair,
which, judging from his salutatory, he
worthy successor to friend Fooshe.
Mr.. Fooshe retires from newspaper
work on account of his health and will
engage in farming, probably going to
western North Carolina, to teach the
Tar Heels how to make two blades of
grass grow where only one is growing
now. The fraternity regrets Mr.. Foo
she's withdrawal from journalism, in
which profession he was a shining
light, and 1t is earnestly hoped that
his retirement may prove to be only
temporary.
Gaffney Ledger, September IS: 1t has
been said that the days of miracles are
past but this statement will not bear
investigation when taken in connection
with a discovery which has just been
made in this city. The bare fact,
plainly stated, is that Mrs. C. L. Nc
Quinn, who lives in the zoos on Lime
stone street, aged 70 years and some
months, is now growing full set OF
new teeth. This statement may seem
to be absurd to most people, but it Is
really true. Through the kindness Of
Officer Hallman, of the police force, a
Ledger reporter was yesterday able to
visit Mrs. McGuinn at her home and
"seeing's believing with this force and
anyone who might care to receive ocu-
lar demonstration Of this fact may go
to her home and investigate. Gran
nv" as she Is familiarly known to all
the people of the section in which she
lives, is, as has been stated, over 20
years of age. She had been wearing
false teeth for fourteen years and her
discovery that she Is now growing new
ones has brought the utmost joy to the
bosom of this lovable old lady. When
asked by the reporter as to when she
discovered that she was getting some
new teeth, Granny" stated that 1t was
in July last. She was at that time in
the hospital in Norfolk, Va, and hav-
ing much trouble with her mouth and
suffering intensely, she asked that the
doctor make an examination with the
aforementioned result. She now has
eight perfect teeth through the gums
together with a fevered condition Of
the mouth is proof positive that still
more are coming and 1t is safe to pre-
dict that in a few more months Mrs.
McGuinn will have a full set of teeth,
as good as any to be found anywhere.
Granny" with a quaint and pleasant
naivete, stated that no one could imag-
inc what pain a babe needs must go
through in cutting a set of teeth until
one had had an experience similar to
hers. This is taken as one of the mys-
teries of the age in Gaffney and it is
highly improbable that this case has a
parallel anywhere. Certain it is that
no such thing was ever known in Gaff-
ney before Notwithstanding her age,
Granny" is as spry as a cricket. She
can see perfectly and makes a good
living for herself by sewing, making
shirts, quilts, etc.
Chester Lantern, September IS: L.
r. Smalls, who is travelling salesman

He was placed under a 5000 bond, but
later the case was dismissed with the
payment of $50 fine on condition that
Smalls never returns to Chester. .....

Orr, d. D., came to a close on Tuesday
night, packed house being present for

strong sermon on What shall l do
with Jesus" Dr. Orr left Wednesday
morning for his home in Charlotte, N.
c., and goes from there to Pennsyl-
vania where he will hold a series of
