Rock Hill Herald, Oct. 26: E. N. An
thony, Of State street, is some collard
grower. Yesterday he brought up
street plant weighing nine pounds.
And this was after the rabbits and
chickens had eaten off the leaves as
high as they could reach. The stalk
was about two inches in diameter. Mr..
Anthony states that he has plenty
more plants about the same size. The
remarkable part Is that he worked the
plants but once. However, the ground
was in good shape when planting was
done. >. =. President Weeks has re-

them, making them liable to breakage
at any time. .... The work on Lime

been progressing rapidly the past few

than 1000 people attended the first
Cherokee county fair held at the ball
ground here Friday, despite the threat

cess in the opinion Of hundreds Of Wis
itors who were heard to comment fav-
orably upon the various features Of the
day. With all school children and
college students admitted free and
only an admission fee Of 10 cents each
charged the general public, the gross
receipts for the day were over $3.50.
There were no entrance fees charged
for any Of the exhibits. While bills
for all Of the expenses incurred have
not yet been rendered, it is estimated
that the total expenditure will amount
to about 5000, leaving a surplus Of
about $50. There were at least 1000
different exhibits on display at the fair
grounds Friday, which together with
the riding exhibitions, football game
and other events formed one Of the
biggest 10 cent shows the people Of
Cherokee ever had the opportunity OF
witnessing. The fair visitors formed
the largest crowd of people that has
ever assembled in Gaffney upon any
occasion.
