of which the town is proud of, but
I must not close without mention
ing one of the greatest factors in
McCormick's prosperity viz: the
Mccormick Messenger, edited by
Mr.. J. E. McCracken, a noble, up
right gentleman of the old school
with fine tastes and discrimination.
The Messenger stands for law,
which in the language of Gov.
Brown of Georgia is but applied
Justice" Georgia's Gov. further
said that A state is great in pro-
portion as her laws are just, and
sIrong, in proportion as her laws
are enforced. And consequently a
state or community which tolerates
within its borders the elements Of
disregard law or acts Of law, is
training school of anarchy, hence
a menace to Christianity and civili-
ration. The Messenger IS clean and
should be in the homes of all the
people. I find also that these people
here know a good thing when they
see it, because I see copies of The
Advertiser in some of the houses.
Before the close of 1913, it may
be, that many more will be reading
The Advertiser because first it
stands for temperance and for law
enforcement, and secondly, because
it is the oldest newspaper in South
Carolina which proves it fit, be-
cause while others have come and
gone. it still survives. More vigor-
GUS and newsy th all ever notwith-
standing its extreme old age.

Those ladies are bending every en-.

Master James DAVIS Dobson ceie-
brated his ninth birthday, nine lit
tie boys being the honored guests
of the stag party. A symphony
machine furnished much amusement
and the merry games were all; the
merrier for the accompaniment of
music. Late in the afternoon the
dining room doors were thrown
open. A scene of Halloween fes-
tivity greeted the eyes of the de-
lighted children. Festoons were
draped from the chandelier to the
four corners of the prettily appoint
ed table. From the center huge
jack-o-lantern glowed in the dark
ened room. Smaller jack-o-lan-
terms were used effectively on the
table and in the room. Nine can
dies burned brightly on the snowy
birthday cake. Dark red and yel-
low candles in quaint Japanese
shades shed a mellow light through
out the room. Delicious cakes,
ices, bonbons, fruit and grapes
were served.
The children were consoled for
having to finally leave such a Pal
ace of Enchantment" with the
promise that next year they would
be given another invitation by their
handsome little host to make merry
with him at beautiful Fairview." /"

this letter it is because it has been

The tournament alone will be
worth the price of admission on
Thursday next,not to mention the ba'

Farmers Benefited by Advance.

The recent advance in the price
of cotton means much to the farm
ers who had not sold. If the pres
ent price could have been realized
for the entire crop, the producers
would have received more for this
short crop than they did for the un-
precedented yield of last year. Mr..
r. H. Nicholson sold four bales at
Edgefeld several days ago. and re-
ceiyed check for more than $3.50.
Could such sum be realized year
after year cotton growers would
soon be independent, provided of
course other crops were not neg
lected for cotton.

Gus Edmunds' Walnuts.

The Advertiser man did not swear
.-Supervisor-elect Edmunds before
he related this walnut incident bpt
we have seen true and tried men
who heard it from his own lips. To
make a long story short, Gus said
the best crop that was made on his
farm this year was harvested from
walnut tree that is only about 25
feet high and 8 inches in diameter.
The supervise or-elect gathered 9
bushels of walnuts in the hull and
after removing the hulls, and after

his children had feasted upon them
for three weeks, he measured up IL
bushels. If Gus were not as honest
as the days are long we would al
lege graft. However, upon the pri-
ma facie showing, we would advise
the neighbors who have walnuts to
examine their walnut barrels and see
if there hos not been material
shrinkage.

Interesting Letter From the
Growing Town of McCor-
mick.

Mccormick is a goodly town of
900 or 1000 souls and is about 80
years of age. The people who settled
Mccormick when the railroad was
completed to this place 81 years
ago were God-feariHg people, who
builded more wisely than they knew.
There are fewer blind tigers than
any other town in the state, and
absolutely none under official sane
ton. The truth is, the town and the
authorities are vigilant in running
down and furnishing the outlaw,
and the blind tiger. This is no
Blease town, although having been
nominated, although some feel, that
his titles are tainted by fraud and de-
ception, yet for their oaths sake, the
people will support him in the gen
eral election. They feel, that Gov.
Blease is as good and even better in
many instances than the people who
elected him, or nominated him in
the primary, and those who are be-
ing scourged, have made Up their
minds to take this medicine like men,
and vote for him.
Mccormick is the best cotton
marketin western Carolina, - cents
being paid here Saturday, Novem-
Der 2, while it was only bringing
III cents in Greenwood and Angus
ia the same date. Last year between
800 and 1000 bales were bought
by citizens of this town.
But the incest thing that McCor-
mick has in my judgment, is the
high school building standing on
the crest of the hill northward of
the business and residence portion
of the town costing $4,000. 1t has
all the modern conveniences in
cluding a steam heating plant and
would do credit to such towns as
Anderson and Greenville. The fact
is, am not aware of so good, 80
complete building in any town or
city in the state at the same cost.
The recitation rooms, the cloak
rooms, the auditorium which will
seat in the neighborhood of five
hundred are all built upon modern
scientific principles giving proper
sight, ventilation, temperature, etc.,
and withal would do credit to a
large city. The teaching force is
composed of Prof. Meadow, son of
presiding elder Meadow of the
Cokesbury district, Misses Davis,
Watson, Clinkscales, Anderson, and
Miss Beckham head of the music do
partment. A more Jealous, indus
trious, painstaking competent fac
ulty could not be procured anywhere
in our state, and distinguishes Mo
Cormick from more pretentious COM
munities. Mccormick has churches
the Baptist and Methodist, being
supplied by consecrated men of God.
Rev. Mr.. Harris supplies the Bap-
tist and Rev. Mr.. Ballaager the
Methodist.
Our people arc also patriotic, as
was evidenced by a meeting last
Saturday in the auditorium of the
high school building in the interest
of Gov. Woodrow Wilson's candida
cy, at which time, Rev. Mr.. Bal
langer read the Governors message
a sort of econd declaration of in
dependence, which was read before
the various clubs of the state at the
same hour, and released for pub
lication in the daily papers. Appro-
pirate remarks were made by Prof.
Meadows, Mr.. Geo. Sibert, M. L.
B. Sturkey and others, counseling
patriotism, and steadfastness in the
democratic faith.

LOOT Of THIEVES
HAS BEEN FOUND
Merchandise Worth 81 500
Secreted Under Floor of
Vacant Factory.

Hankinson, N. D., July 5.-Mer-
chandise valued at $1,000 to 81, 500
was found in the vacant starch fac
tory building near the 500 depot,
where 1t had been secreted by boxcar
thieves.
500 detectives are working on the
case and there is every likelihood that
clues as to the identity Of at least one
OF the men have been found.
The stolen loot has been shipped 10
the claim department of the 500 road
at Minneapolis. The goods were evil
IDENTIFY billed to Enderlin, Minot and
Mobridge. as evidenced by enclosures
In the packages. None of it was for
local parties.
The plant was discovered through
he arrest Of a hobo who was seen
taking eatables from the interior of
an old threshing engine on the east
stoe of town near the starch factory.
He was seen sneaking to the engine
Inc his actions aroused the suspicion
OF some laborers neal by. They re-
ported the matter to the marshal, who
took h vag into custody. At the time
a quantity Of food. such as crackers,
canned goods. sardines. ETC., most Of
It in the original packages. was found
locked up and a more extended search
made with the result that a veritable
robbers roost was discovered under
he factory floors. Sixty casks of
Whiskey, whole bolts of cloth, quanti-
ties of food in can and boxes. fire.
crackers and loot Of almost every con-
ceivable kind vas brought to light.
An exhaustive examination 0f the
man in custody convinced the authori-
ties that he ives innocent and his dis
charge followed. According to his
story he was a railroad mar in hard
luck and had ! oboed his way from
Wisconsin to Hankinson. Early last
week he fell in with a fellow hobo
and the latter produced plenty of
grub at their hold-out east of town.
His new found friend left. stating that
he was going to Enderlin. but would
return in a day or two. Meantime he
informed his pal that the latter could
find a sufflciency Of food in the old
engine before mentioned. and 1t was
while helping himself hat his actions
aroused suspicion resulting in his ar
rest. His story was so straightfor-
ward that he was released with the
consent Of the 500 detectives.
