We assured him that he had seen
Poe's grave, but that the grave we
were hunting was out far in an old
cemetery.
Write the name down for me, Miss,
and you ladies stand under my UNI
brella while / see what can do for
you
Accordingly we held down the um-
brella while our friend, the poIicce-
: man, went in search of the desired
information. When he returned We
could see by the expression of his
face that he had met with success.
"Greenmount Cemetery is where
you want to go, ladies. And the first
car coming is the one to take"
We thanked him and stepped on.
If in any imagination l had pictured
Lanier lying in some old and neglect
ed burying ground, was vastly mis-
taken. Few "cities of the dead" have
| seen more beautiful. Even the
Protestant cemetery in Rome of which
Shelly wrote at might make one in
love with death to think that one
should be buried in so sweet a place"
is not its superior. The gentle slop-
ping of the hill, the velvet green of
the sod, the soft shade of the trees
make it indeed fit resting place for
one who ever sang of glen and vale. of
rustling boughs and murmuring grass.
We were more fortunate than our
friend had been. The manager and
his assistant, the aged man who had
been in the service of Greenmount
for over thirty years, were both in the
office, and the manager himself offered
to be our guide.

| heard it remarked upon one oc-
casion that it seemed coincident that
Poe and Lanier, the two greatest p1-
cts of the South, should both rest in
Baltimore, and both in unmarked
graves. Though Poe still lies in Bal
timore, in the church yard of Old
Westminster, it can no longer be
said of him that his grave is unmark-
ed. A simple but elegant memorial
stands above the spot where his body
lies. How long must it still be said OF
Sidney Lanier? Shall statues of Craw-
ford w. Long and Alexander H. Ste
phens be placed by Georgia in the Hall
of Fame at Washington while the
grave of her greatest poet remains un-
marked? Daughters of the Confeder-
acy, put the question to you.

Chased Supposed Burglar.

Excitement ran high for a
short time in Fort Mill late
Tuesday afternoon over the en-
try into town of a supposed
burglar. The man, who ap-
peared of middle age, alighted
from the rear of the southbound
train, and with a package under
his arm started back up the
railroad at lively gait, glancing
backward at every few steps.
His actions created suspicion
and the town officers with sew
eral others gave pursuit. The
man was chased to a point near
the city cemetery, where he
made his escape into the thick
cts. During the chase, however.
the stranger threw down his
bundle, which was found to con-
tain hack saw and several new
blades, five new pocket knives,
and about 20 packs of cigarettes.
Two raincoats, which he was
wearing, were also left behind
by the stranger. Several shots
were fired at the man, but with
out apparent effect. An effort
was made to secure bloodhounds
from Rock Hill, but without
avail.

ONE DEAD; 5 HURT IN SPEED DERBY
 WON BY DEPALMA

Des Moines, August 7-One racing driver is dead, another. is not ex- pected to live, and the two mechani- clans that travelled with them in to- day's 300-mile spded Grby at the Des Moines speedway were seriously injured.
 Ralph DePalma won the race, ac- cording to unofficial announcement of the judges, but there is some quee- tion whether this will hold after the official examination of the time is made It is thought that Ralph Craw- ford will be adjudged the victor when the times of the various drivers have been verified.
 Phil Cooper of Youngstown, Ohio. was instantly killed when s'eer,..- knuckle broke as he was coming into the home stretch for the thirty eighth lap.
 Billy Chandler was fatally injured, when his machine blew a left front tire in the one hundred and thirty eighth lap.
 DePalma's winning tire was an- nounced as 3:2S:52. ;.
 Crawford finished second, accord ing to the officials, and O'Donnell was third.

 The symptoms-hands red like sun burn. skin peeling off. sore mouth, the lips, throat and tongue flaming red, with much mucous and choking; indigestion and nausea, either diar- rhoea or constipation.

Motion picture magazines have lately been paying attention to motion picture theatres in Arkansas. One motion picture theatre that has re- ceived considerable mention is the Best theatre of Pine Bluff.
 The Best theatre is now going on it's third year. It has seating ca pacity of 800. The theatN is fire proof throughout and has extra exits in addition to what is required by law. The theatre is 100 feet deep by 30 foot frontage. The ceiling is fifty feet high, permitting good ventila- ton, and is splendidly equipped with exhaust fans, wall fans, concrete floors, running ice water, rest rooms for both ladies and gentlemen. J. B. Simon. the manager, declares that, "The Best theatre is the coolest spot in town"
 The illumination is perfectly con- neeted and arranged. The handsome electric display sign is rated as the first of it's kind this side of New York. The Best theatre has a hand ssome entrance and to the left of the casLier's office Mr. Simon has his business office.
 The shows, of course, change daily, and are secured regardless of cost. Expert operators are in charge of the picture machines. At night, the heavy curtains in the rear of the stage are drawn aside, permitting the fresh air to the auditorium. Among the pictures that are shown ra or, rly arc tho paramOur,t niptJlrpc embracing the Famous Players films, I4asky's pictures, the Oliver Morosco films, the Mutual Program and many others of special charac- ter.

For one American industry the European war has proved literally a life saver. This is the business Of growing and making sugar, both from cane and beets. While sugar does not rank in size as an agricul- tural crop with corn or wheat yet the amount raised from American soil has reached large proportions, ranging from 3,000,000,O00 to 5,O0O,- OOO,O00 pounds a year.
 One peculiar thing about sugar is that it is grown in more different parts of American territory than any other crop. Cane sugar is the principal product of Louisiana, Hawaii, Porto Rico and. the Philippine Islands vLile sugar beets are grown in six Ssgrl states, from Ohio in the east to

BONDED COTTON WAREHOUSES PAY
 TEXAS FARMERS
Farmers Obtain $15 a Bale More for Cotton Stored in
 Bonded Houses.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 7.-The value of cotton stored in bonded warehouses last year increased materially and the warehouses paid large dividends, according to reports from 0 counties of Texas received from the county chairmen by Edwin Hobby, cnalrma:, of the Fifth district Of the Texas Bankers association, which is urging tho farmers to construct warehouses; to store at least two-thirds of tn cotton crop.
 Most of the county chairmen of the Texas Bankers association report that the banks loaned $50 a bale on cotton stored in bonded warehouses, a large per cent of the loans being at s per cent on the warehouse re- ceipts.
 Gov. R. L. Van Zandt of the fed eral reserve bank of Dallas has pee,; active in promoting the construction of the state supervised storehouses In a letter to member bangs somet tip5 ago he stated that unhoused cotton exposed to the clements was not safe collateral.
 From Bowie county a report says that the far1 CTS reg lized $15 a bale more on cotton stored in bonded warehouses than On unstored cotton The Texas warehouse law applies to storing of other products as well as cotton and good results have been obtained under this system with gram and rice, but. cotton, being the prin- cipal staple of Texas, is showing the greatest and more general results.

GERMAN MILLET IS
 PROFITABLE IN COUNTY

That German ,rillet is a profitable crop for Jefferson county is demon- strated by the experience of Tom Wilson, who lives far out in Hazel street, and who raised 400 bales of the stuff this season.
 Each of the balss weighs 80 pounds, hence the total weight of MT. Wilson's crop is 32,00O pounds, Or sixteen tons, on the five acres devoted to the mil let. Millet is worth about $17 per ton, which makes MT. Wilson's crop worth about s272, or about $55 per acre.

A dozen beet sugar factories had closed their doors and it was expect ed that 1915 would be the last year during which sugar would be grown to any extent from American soil as growers declared that they could not meet the competition of sugar pro duced under the cheap labor condi- tions prevailing in tropical countries.
