Annie Lou Byrd, for the purpose of
forming musical club. Your hearty
cooperation is earnestly solicited.
Please be present at 4 p. m. prompt
ly."
At the appointed time a jolly
crowd arrived, and everyone. was
enthusiastic over the idea of having
a musical club. Many plans were
discussed, and no doubt this club will
be a great benefit to those interested
in music.
1t was decided that the club should
be called The Apollo Music Club, "
and the object will be to study the
cid masters lives, their works, and
to learn as much about music in gen
eral as possible, Voices for chorus
club were selected, and this part of
the work will be especially interest
ing.

TWO MILLION LOST EACH YEAR.
Affect of Boil Rot on COttOn-Ro-
tation the Remedy.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE cotton
crop suffers an annual loss of about
s2,OOO,OOO as a result of the disease
known as cotton anthracnose, or boil
rot. In a report on the subject the
department of agriculture says that
since the fungus can live on dead cot
ton bolls in the field for at least a
year and in the seed for two or three
years, there should be rotation of
crops; cotton never should be plant
ed on land where anthracnose was
prevalent the year previous, while
fully as important is the selection
Of healthy seed.
The department says the disease is
reported as present in every cotton
field in Georgia, and in every county
Of South Carolina, in all parts of Mis-
sissippi, being worse in the delta and
bottom lands. It's occurrence is more
or less general throughout the entire
cotton belt.

Hospital Mass Meeting.

The mass meeting held in the town
hall Tuesday evening of this week to
discuss the hospital proposition was
not as largely attended by the cltl-
zents of the town as it should have
been, still the number was large
enough to show that the project is on
the minds of the people of this COM
munity.
DR.. V. w. Brabham, president of
the county medical association, pre-
sided over the meeting, and DR.. H.
F. Hoover acter as secretary. A
number of gentlemen present express
ed themselves as heartily in favor of
the hospital movement, among them
being Messrs. S. G. Mayfeld, H. c..
Folk, J. c. Guilds, J. F. Folk, G. F.
Hair, J. A. Hunter, and others, all
pledging their support to the move
ment.
Two offers of lots on Elmoor
Heights were made, one by Mr.. H.
NJ. Graham, and the other by Mr.. A.
NJ. Denbow, both to be donated.
After considerable discussion, a
motion was made and carried that a
committee of seven be appointed by
the chairman to consider the matter
further and report at meeting to be
called later by this committee. The
chairman announced that he would
appoint the committee as soon as
possible.
DR.. Cleckley made a report as to
the amount of stock already subscrib-
ed, which was about $4,000, which
was sufficient to equip rented place,
but it seemed to be the idea of those
present that it would be much better
to build and properly equip a hos
pital, in order that the very best ad-
vantages might be offered the public.
For this reason the committee OF
seven was appointed, and no doubt
efforts will be made to secure addl-
tional stock subscriptions, in order
that most creditable institution
may be erected.
Among the physicians from the
county present were Drs. ]. S. Mat
thews, of Denmark, and ]. H. Rob-
ertS, of Ehrhardt.

There is no better way to judge
the growth of town than by the
telephone development therein, and
from this point of view Bamberg is
growing rapidly. New telephones are
being installed here daily, the num-
Der of phones in use now being great
er than ever, and applications for the
installation of phones are coming in
daily. The local exchange is kept
busy all the time, and if the number
of phones increases as it has for the
past few months, another section of
switchboard will have to be installed
and more help employed. Of course
the good service rendered by the eff
cient operators here has had much to
do with the growth of the business.

BASEBALL OUTPAYS OIL.
Athletics Earn More Minute thar
John D. Rockefeller.

Philadelphia, Oct. 14.-John D..
Rockefeller, generally credited with
being the wealthiest man in the
world, will have to grow little
weather. before his earning capacity
in a sprint race can compare with
that of the members of the Athletics
or Giants. He may have them in a
six-day free-for-all, but the ball play
ers would leave him at the post in
100-yard dash.
The oil king is creadited with an
earning capacity of 5000 minute,
sleeping or waking. Local mathe-
maticians have been at work, and
have figured that the members of the
Athletics during the recent worlds
series made s51.74 minute, or
about sc cents a second, while the
defeated Giants made s34,49 min
ute, or a trif1e more than 81 cents
a second.

ASKS FERTILIZER INQUIRY.
Tarheel Member Would Know If
Trust Controls Prices.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Represen-
tative Faison, of the Sd North Caro-
lima district, to-day introduced res
olution directing the agricultural
committee of the House to make a
full investigation Of the manufacture
ers and dealers in commercial fertil-
izers and guano in the United States,
especially in the Southern States,
for the purpose of ascertaining
whether sales, wholesale or retail,
are controlled by a trust or monopoly.
Under the special session agree
ment there is no chance for action
on the resolution at this session, un-
less the rules committee should re-
port out a special rule in its favor,
which is decidedly unlikely.
