Hattie Smith, widow of julie
Smith, the negro who was shot
to death in the court house at
Winnsboro in June, was shot to
death Sunday in her home two
miles from Blaney. Bloodhounds
taken to the scene were unable
to take the trail, as heavy rain
fell just as the dogs were put
to work. The authorities have
some strong clues on which they
expect to take action shortly.
The woman was shot through
an open window as she was
sitting with two other. women
singing. A load of shot from
a shotgun tore off the top of her
head and she died instantly.

WANTS TO USE COTTON
TWINE In POST OFFICES

Postmaster General Burleson
is anxious that manufacturers of
cotton twine again avail them
selves of the opportunity offered
by his action in advertising for
proposals to furnish either cotton
or jute twine for use in tying
together letters in packages
during the year beginning No
vember l, next.
Nearly million and a half
yards will be consumed by the
post office department during the
twelve months contract period.
1t is used in large quantity daily
both In the post Offices and upon
the railway post office cars. In
pounds, approximately two mil
lion four hundred thousand
pounds of jute twine, or ap-
proXimately one million, six
hundred thousand pounds of
cotton twine, the former being
much the heavier per yard, will
be needed.
Until last year jute had the
preference. Last summer, after
the opportunity had been called
to their attention by the post
master general, several large
manufacturers of cotton twine
took an interest and bid for the
contract now in force. Cotton
won and the Beaumont Manu-
featuring company, of Spartan
burg obtained the contract on
terms involving a saving for the
post office department over the
lowest bid for jute of eighty-three
thousand dollars for the year.
The South Carolina company
has fulfilled its contract to date
and the cotton tWine has proved
in all respects satisfactory to the
postal service.

The Pleasant Valley Picnic.

Editor The Times: The picnic
at Pleasant Valley last Friday
was a pronounced success in
spite of the weeping skies. The
crowd was rather small, only
about $50 or 200, but all were in
fine spirits as we were needing
the delightful showers which
fell at intervals throughout the
day. The two addresses were
excellent, the dinner abundant
and unusually good, and the
string band from the neighbor-
ing community of Barbersville
furnished good music throughout
the day.
The first speaker of the day
was the Hon. T. G.. Mcleod. of
Bishopville. He spoke on the
subject of prohibition, and all
who had heard this popular
speaker in the past, say that
this was the best speech that
that they had heard him make.
While our community is practi-
cally unanimous for prohibition.
our people were perhaps a little
indifferent about going to the
polls, and we think that Mr..
McLeod's mastery presentation
of the evils of the liquor traffic
will stimulate our people to vote
in larger numbers to stamp out
the iniquitous traffic.
The next speaker was the Hon.
A. j. Bethea, our Lieutenant
Governor. He spoke on The
High Cost of Ignorance" and
his address was full Of good,
practical, common sense sug-
gestions, and sparkled through
out with wit and humor.
Pleasant Valley will be de-
lighted to have these gentlemen
with us again. S. E. B.
