PARKSVILLE NEWS,
Attended State Fair in Autos.
Petition Being Circulated
For Hayward County.
West-Side Fair.

The people of Plum Branch are
hurt, and I think rightly with the
county commissioners, or those in
control for not working their roads.
1t is true the people of Plum Branch,
and few miles of adjacent terrific
ry, have voted themselves into
Greenwood county, yet they are not
in Green wood, and cannot be
until their action is ratified by the
legislature, which meets in January.
I wonder if the county treasurer
will collect taxes from those Plum
Branch folks. e so, then their roads
should be worked by Edge6eld. The
people of that community had
right to vote themselves into Green
wood, if they saw fit, and while we
hate to give them up, they should
receive fair treatment. Spite work
is a sure work of littleness and never
pays in the individual, and can never
pay a proud county. We hope this
matter has been exaggerated, and
that these people nave not been mis-
treated when an explanation is had
from those in authority.
We are sorry to chronicle the
fact that DR.. Ben Adams of Plum
Branch got his collar bone broken
last week from fall from his
horse. 1t seems that the horse shied,
then slipped up in marsh, bruising
him and breaking his collar bone.
Two auto cars of Parksville folks
attended the state fair in Columbia
last week, leaving here on Wednes-
day and returning Friday. The first
belonging to Mr.. w. r. Parks con-
tained himself, his two sons, G. A.
and J. G. Parks, and Mr.. Wilmer
Christian. The second belonging to
Mrs. Virginia Stone carried herself,
chauffeur, her son, Mr.. ]. G. Stone
and Mr.. J. Fl. Elkins. They all re-
turned very much pleased, and no
doubt gathered dots that will be
helpful to our fair to be held here
on November l6t.. and 18th. Speak
ing of our fair the writer was grati-
fed to learn that many of the Edge
field folks intended to attend our
fair. Col. o. Sheppard did not wait
for a special invitation, but assured
us that Providence permitting, he
would be with us and 80 did others.
Let all come who can, and we will
assure them meat and bread, season.
ed with a broad welcome. Come one
and all before we are "skiddooed"
off into Hayward county.
And this reminds me, that Pc
titions have been circulated for this
somewhat famous project, made so
by its promoters. I am told that
Blease has told parties interested,
that he will not turn them down
nor pass by them any more, or
words to that effect. This in effect
puts Blease underneath the enter
prise. Bah!
The report comes from Spartan
burg, that Mr.. Joe Blackwell, who
was raised here, and who has had
a LONG spell of typhoid fever will
be carried to-day to Philadelphia
for an operation. We sincerely hope
for his recovery.
Mr.. J. w. Bell, wholesale mer-
chant of Spartanburg, spent Friday
night and part of Saturday with
friends in Parksville.
