WESTAlINSTER-OAKWAY.

A meeting Of farmers and business
men has been called to be held at

to the people the State warehouse
system and the benefits to be derived

MEN OF OCONEE.-

business way, while the farmer does
not.
Let us compare the two ways:
Take the merchant: When he
buys his goods he does not put them
down on the counter and ask you
what you will give, but says what he
will take, and if you do not give his
price, he puts them back on the
shelf until he gets it.
On the other hand, the farmer
gathers his crop, throws it on the
market, regardless of price, floods
the market, and The price goes down.
The middleman comes in and gets it
at his own figures, holds it until the
price goes up, and gets the profit
that the farmer ought to have.
That's business, and why do we not
profit by our experience, brother
farmer?
If the merchant can let his goods
lie on the shelf and keep dry until
he gets his pricc-and we are not
making war on him, for that's bust
ness-why not the farmers build
warehouses, put their cotton in them
to keep it dry, and hold it until the
mills need it and get all the profit
themselves, and stop dumping it on
the market all at once?
We heard a banker say recently
that he would rather lend money on
cotton, in a warehouse, than on any
other security.
Under the State warehouse system
the warehouse can be built with
plankS, with a roof costing about
$2.75 to $3.50 per square, with no
floor, but poles put on the ground,
to put the cotton on. Several farm
erS can go in together, do their own
work, and have one of their crowd
appointed for the agent.
SO come to the meetings on Fri
day, the 27th of August, and Sat
urday, the 2Sth. Tell all you see to
come and send word to those you do
not see. Respectfully,
T. Y. CHI liners

OCoNEE GIRL MEETS ACCIDENT

(Greenville Piedmont, 18th)
Riding double on motorcycle,
Miss Beulah Berry, OF Seneca, and
Emery Styles, who was operating the
machine, came within an inch Of be-
ing seriously injured this morning
when they collided with large au-
tomobile driven by w. Newell Smith,
proprietor of local garage. The
accident occurred about 10 o'clock
al the intersection Of Main street and
McBce avenue, on the southwest side,
near the First National Bank. No
one was seriously hurt.
Miss Berry, who was riding side
wise on an improvised seat between
Mr.. styles and the handle bars, was
pinned beneath the overturned mo-
torcycle. Mr.. Styles was flung aside
his machine, but managed 10 regain
his standing in time to raise the ma
chine off the young lady, unassisted
AS the crowd congregated the young
lady limped away.
Miss Berry retained her COM
posure admirably, considering the
fact that it was the first time she had
ever ridden a motorcycle, and it was
the first accident Of the kind encOun-
tered by her. She r?d just arrived
here to visit and Mr.. Styles had met
her at the station.
According to the statements of
eye-witneSses, the collision was
purely an accident. Mr.. Smith. driv-
ing an OldsmObile touring car, was
headed at. slow rate down Main
street, and the motorcycle, coming
north, was turning the corner from
Main into McBee avenue. AS the
motorcycle cut in slowly, Mr.. Smith
| sped up his automobile in an effort
to avert the collision, but the motor
| cycle crashed into the rear left wheel.
| The front wheel of the motorcycle
was badly bent, and the handle bars
| thrown out Of plumb. The automo-
| bile showed no signs Of the contact.
The accident was investigated. and
as the parties expressed satisfaction
that nobody was hurt. an amicable
settlement was easily reached. Mr..
Styles lives about four miles above
| Greenville.

he and his young wife could not live
together in peace, Varncy Randall, a
mill operative about 26 years old,
shot his wife through the arm and
side and then sent a bullet crashing
through the outer edge Of his heart
this afternoon about o'clock. Mrs.
Randall was not seriously wounded,
but her husband lies at deaths door
as the result of his deed.
The tragedy occurred in the living
room of the Randall home. Randall
and his wife had separated last We'd
ncSday after finding that they could
not live together, but this afternoon,
shortly before o'clock, Randall re-
turned to his wife, and after talking
to her two or three minutes in the
living room, he pulled 3S-calibre
revolver from his pocket and fired
twice.
The first shot graa2I the side Of
her right breast and lodged in the
shoulder. The second bullet entered
her right arm, and. after uttering a
piercing scream, she swooned.
Randall then deliberately stepped
into the hall, and placing the pistol
over his heart, pulled the trigger
the leaden missile scraped the outer
edge Of his heart, passing through
his body and coming out in his
back. He fell to the floor uncon-
scious, with blood rapidly flowing
from his heart
In a statement. Randall does not
deny shooting his wife, but says he
doesn t know why he did it; that he
was crazed. His condition is seri-
