BoLEN OIL MILL BURNED.
Fire Occurred About Two O'clock
Tuesday Morning.

About two o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the Bolen Oil Mill, located at
Bolen in the Fork, was totally de-
stroyed by fire. In addition to the
machinery of the mill, about twenty
FIVE tons of cotton seed and cotton
seed meal, a quantity Of oil that was
on hand, and the buildings, We're Gu
tirely consumed, and will be g total
loss. Very little, if anything. was
saved, the fire having made great
progress when discovered.
The ginnery, which was ls:cated
some little distance from the, oil mill,
was not burned. Just how and when
the fire started is mystery. When
first discovered it had made much
headway and had enveloped the en-
tire building. It may have been
caused by spontaneous combustion,
or by rats and matches, which causes
more fires than many have the least
idea Of.
The mill has been in operation
some five or more years, and was
capitalized when chartered 10 the
sum of $4,000. 1t has done s good
business and was in a prosperous
condition. Since it was organized
the capital stock was increased and
more machinery added to the plant,
which was complete and up-to-date
in all respects. The value of the
plant was about twenty Thousand
dollars.
The insurance, which was carried
in the agencies of Messrs. Ziegler &
Dibble, Izlar & Salley and w. K.
Sease, amounted to some $4,000.
This amount will not begin to cover
the losses, when they are all figured
up carefully. Mr.. w. L. Hughes was
manager Of the plant, which had
been idle some days before the fire
occurred. The fire is hard blow to
the company, but we hope it will
soon be on it's feet again.

States the Case PIainI,7.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
sounds this note of warning to the
farmers: Supply and demand will
control the price of cotton or any
other commodity. The crop of 1910
is some larger than was at one time
expected and the result of this is evi-
denced by the decline in price. Tex
as has recently had good rain, CIV
ing ample moisture to start their
crops. The high price of cotton will
stimulate planting. The South can
not buy corn, hogs, meat ind mules
at high prices and pay it's bills with
low-price cotton. Consider this care
fully. Be sure to plan your crops so
as to grow ample corn and hogs. Give
some attention to live stock. By this
method you will reduce your cotton
acreage and will bring about thrift
and independence.

The Hnppiest Children.

The happiest children are those
who have happy mothers. The young
wife which grows up in the shadow
of a disconteEted, repinlng and
gloomy mother is like plant unwa-
tered by kindly dews. 1t is apt to
be dwarfed and stunted. Even when
things are crooked and temptations
to be harsh come, let the mother
for her child's sake, try to be happy
She can show happiness even il she
does not feel it, and the joy and
pleasure she causes in her children
will reflect in her own soul.

COMING SOON.
Miss Adelaide Thurston in "Miss

AnaHias."
Miss Ananias" is the title Of Ade-
laide Thurston's latest comedy, ve-
hicle which will be seen at the Acad-
emy of Music soon.
miss Ananias" is from the pen of
Catherine Chisolm Gushing, gifted
young literary and social favorite of
Washington, D. c., whose store stor-
les have attracted much attention of
late. Miss Thurston has placed the
direction of her tour in the hands OF
that up-to-date firm Of theatrical
managers, Cohan and Harris, al
though Francis K. Hope, as in for
mer years, will be her manager.
George M. Cohan, the actor-author-
manager, and senior member Of the
firm. asserts that Miss Ananias" is
the most original and amusing COM
edy he has come across in years, and
the leading dram attic critics in every
city where Miss Thurston has ap-
peared this season are Of the same
opinion.
Nancy Lyle and her family and as
sociates are persons of wealth and
refinement living in the most ex-
travagant year of the worlds his
tory, 1910. To represent these per-
sons and their surroundings in an ap-
propriate and convincing manner the
gowns of the women must be made
by the most expert ad expensive New
York or Paris dress-makers, and
their home provided with the thou
sand and one Indispensable and cost
ly trifles that mean so much to per-
sons of taste and culture. We are
told that Cohan and Harris have pro-
vided all of the present-day necessi-
ties with prodigal disregard for the
expenditure Of money, and, in con-
sequence, we are promised a typical
Broadway production several months
before it reaches Broadway.

may be saved. When discovered the

ance.

PUT ON THE BAN
THE SALE OF HAPPY DUST IS
RESTRICTED BY Law.
Cocaine, in AL its Forms, Can Only
be Sold on Physicians Prescrip-

Cocaine, In All its Forms, Can Only
be Sold on Physicians Prescrip-
tions.
A statute strictly regulating the
sale Of cocaine in all its dangerous
forms, has been enacted by the gen
eral assembly, and signed by Gov
ernor Blease. If the act is rigidly
enforced as soon as it becomes ef-
fective, which is twenty days aftei
the date of signature, it Is probable
that the use of "happy dust" will be
prevented to much greater extent
than now in this state.
The law provides penalty OF i'm
prisonment In the state penitentiary
of not less than one nor more than
five years for any person who sells,
gives away or otherwise dispenses
cocaine, or alpha or beta eucaine, e1-
cept on the original prescription OF
a licensed physician, to be used un-
der the personal supervision of this
physician.
The sale of cocaine and other forms
of the drug by licensed manufactur-
ing chemists or pharmacists, and
wholesale and retail druggists to 9TH
er businesses or to hospitals, col
leges, scientific, or public institu-
tions or to licensed physicians, vet
Urinary surgeons or dentists, Is al
lowed under the law, as also is the
use Of the drug by these licensed
professionals.
The same penalty is fixed for per-
sons in whose possession the drug Is
found, with the intention of dispens-
ing it and the law further states that
possession is to be considered prima
facie evidence of intention to dis
pense, unless possession Is bad un-
der the prescription Of the licensed
physician provided for.
Other minor restrictions are
thrown around the sale of the drug
under the prescription of physicians,
the violation of which IS punishable
by a fine of $40 to 500. This is
a good law and it should be enforced.
An effort ought to be made to stamp
out its use in this town and county.
It's use Is great curse, and Is re-
sponsible for many Of the horrld
crimes we read Of.

Because my interests are here.
Because the community that is
good enough for me to live in is good
enough for me to buy in.
Because I believe in transacting
business with my friends.
Because 1 want to see, the goods.
Because I want to get what l buy
when 1 pay for it.
Because my home dealer carries
me when I am run short.
Because every dollar spend at
home stays at home and helps work
for the welfare of the city.
Because the man buy from
3tands back of the goods.
Because sell what produce here
at home.
Because the man I buy from pays
his part Of the town, county and city
taxes.
Because the man I buy from gives
value received always.
Because the man l buy from helps

Selecting Fresh Eggs.

If you wish to select fresh egg
for your table or sound egg for
setting there is an easy way for so
doing. Take the egg in a dark room
and place it between your eye and a
lamp flame, holding it perpendicu-
larly. If it is fresh it will be full
and clear except the shadow cast by
the yolk, and if the shadow cast Is
quite dark you may know that the
hen which laid the egg has been fed
to {, considerable extent upon grass.

RETURNS TO THE CIRCUS.
After Visiting Her People Martha
Cain Goes Back.

Martha Cain, after a pleasant
visit to her home and people, has
returned to her work with the cir
Gus people, with whom she has con-
tract for some time. 1t will be re-
membered that she was stolen on
the streets of Orangeburg thirty years
ago, when she was five years old,
and it was by accident that she
learned her real name. Her circus
name is Lizzie Lewis, but Martha
has no special hankering after that
cognomen.
The Robinson circus is wsnterlng
in Cincinnati, but those connected
with it are rehearsing in Springfield,
Mo-, and it is there that she has
gone. Martha Cain says she intends
to follow the circus as long as she
is able. what else can l do?" she
asked in reply to question as to
whether she intended to be q circus
woman as long as she lives. That is
very true. Having been brought up
to that life, she knows no other. Be
sides it pays her well.
The Columbia correspondent of
the Charleston Post says it IS inter
esting to note that the management
of the Robinson shows are respectors
of the wishes of Southern audiences
in one respect. When showing in
the South Martha Cain is side
show performer, but when showing
in the North and West she Isl mem
ber of the big show. Her speciality is
aerial performances, and she Is said
to be a fine actress. The Robinsops
are very much attached to her.
