turned to his home by Special Agent

The diminutive hobo was intercepted
by Special Agent Evans as he alighted
at the local station from the blind"
of a northbound train and was de-
tanned at police headquarters until
his return this morning. A desire to
"see de world" was Willie's explana-

Fine Grazing Country.
Between here and Lockhart there
is some Of the finest grazing country
l have ever seen," said Mr.. l.. M.
Harrison, a prominent and successful
farmer of the Walnut Grove section
of Spartanburg county, to represen-
tative Of The Enquirer last Tuesday.
Mr.. Harrison had just arrived in a
car with his brothers, Messrs. F. M.
and Oliver Harrison, of the same
neighborhood. YES" he went on,
for cattle raising purposes that coun-
try is equal to anything I have ever
seen in Tennessee and Kentucky, and
/ do not believe you could find any
thing to beat it anywhere. Such deep,
rich soil of a kind that will not wash
away no matter how it may be abus-
ed, and which will grow anything. 1t
is the very thing for grain and grass
and if fenced in and looked after as
pasturage, it ought to prove a genuine
gold mine." Mr.. Harrison has been
making a close and careful study of
the cattle industry for a number Of
years past, is making a success of it,
and his opinion is worth while.

body to the effect that he make pro-
vision for the proper education of the
McMackin children, who are inmates
of the county home In his return
. last Wednesday the supervisor set
forth that the grand jury was mistaken
in thinking that it had given such in
structions in it's 1913 report. He went
on however, to show that he had done
everything in his power in behalf of
these unfortunate children. He had
tried to get them into the Church
Home orphanage; but that institution
would not take them except the cOun-
~ pay a certain sum for upkeep, and
there is no authority of law for such
payment. He had sent one of the
