ADOPT SUMTER PLAN
TO IMPROVE MARKET
COL. DUNCAN To BUILD
COTTON WAREHOUSE

Col. T. c. Duncan has put through
plans and the material is already ar.
irving for the erection of a cotton
warehouse. The building will be com.
pleted within three weeks from this
date. The building is to be 90 15C
feet, and will be located on the lot
just this side of the Smith Lumber
company on Pinckney street. There
is a spur track just in the rear of the
building and will be so arranged that
cotton, cotton seed and other farm
products may be housed for shipper
and for receiver
The warehouse is to be standard
construction and arrangements have
been made to double the size of the
building if so much space should be
needed.
Mr.. Duncan is carrying through
this proposition upon his own voli-
tion, and cotton stored in this ware
house may be held at a reasonable
cost and for any length of time. The
warehouse will be used for any other
commodity such as fertilizer, corn,
hay or any other commodity. A brok-
er can, when his judgment dictates,
order out shipment, say, of flour,
and with the warehouse receipt would
be able to get money to help him car
ry it until he could dispose of the

SPECIAL"
Mrs. Gilmore Almost Instantly
Killed = Her Son, Aubrey,
Who was Driving the Car,
Seriously Injured, While Her
Three Young Daughters Were

Mrs. Alvin w. Gilmore was killed
last Sunday afternoon near the resi-
dence of Mr.. j. p. Jeter, one and
half miles below Santuc, when the au-
tomobile in which she was riding
collided with Southern passenger
train No. 27. The accident occurred
iags between Union and Columbia.
The road rises up steep incline and
through a wooded stretch and where
it crosses the railway one cannot see
five feet down the track until the
track is reached.
The automobile was being driven
by Aubrey Gilmore, the son of Mrs.
Gilmore, and besides these two, there
were three younger daughters in the
car. Young Gilmore had recently
learned to run the car, but was a very
careful driver. In climbing the hill
the car ran into the steps of the sec
ond coach on the train and the fire
man, who witnessed the accident, said
just before it collided with the train
he could see it move from side to side
as if the young man was doing all in
his power to stop the car. 1t is
thought he lost control of the cal
