Historical Sketches
MIR. John A. Arant

In the beginning of the nine
teenth century the first Arant
came to Chesterfield district
from Pennsylvania. The Arants
are descended from the Quaker
sect and the first of this name
to settle in this county was true
to the outstanding characteris-
tic of the early settlers of this
region, and the subject of this
sketch, j. A. Aranu, lives only q
short distance from the site of
the first settlement made more
than a century ago on the long
hull which slopes gently to the
banks of Lynches creek. This
creek was formerly called by the
Indians of the region Bush Wah
River and was noted for the
game that abounded in the
swamps and lowlands. 1t has
only been q short time ogo, it
will be remem bered,l when
large black bear was killed near
the head of Bush Wah or Lyn-
ches River. The name Lynches
is in honor of an old settlement
of Lynches who ran trading
post near where Tradesville.
Lancaster county. now is To-
Gated.
The subject of this sketch is
quiet unassuming farmer who is
proud of his calling. BY close
application to his farm and by
applying principles of scientists
or which he has worked out for
himself he has been forced to
enter into other lines of activity
being director in all the princi-
pal banks of this section. Still
his main stay is his farm, where
he has made good financially
and others might profit by his
example.
There was never any poorer
looking land than the Arant
home place when John Arant
took charge, being then only
boy. And mind you this place
was not bnilded with Charleston
River dirt, or commercial fertili-
ger, whichever you are minded
to call it, but raising of cattle
and rotation of crops has made it
into regular garden spot. No
matter how dry or how wet the
seasons are there is never any
change in the appearance of the
crops on this land, as the plant
foo1 is in the soil and is absorb
ed as nature dictates. For years
he has put the first bale Of cot
ton on the market of Monroe,
Union county n. c., and none
of your dog tail sample but some
of the same kind of cotton that
'Befo de War" had special
quotation on the Liverpool Ex-
change as the Union County
Cream" and commanded price
of several cents more than the
regular staple.
In conclusion. this article re-
fers to common knowledge of
the people of the county when
it states that although quiet,
peaceable and unassuming. John
A. Arant is unafraid, and more
than that has ever been the bal
ance wheel of this section which
is peopied by honest hard work
Ing but impetous folks. Many a
time by his cool clear judgment
and love Of peace has trouble
been averted IN this section
and it has been commonly sur
missed that had he been present
there would have been no
trouble at Pageland about one
year ago between the two fac
tions, that was recently settled
in the criminal court of Che ster-
field County.

STOCK MARKET NOT
AFFECTED BY BAD NEWS
What May Be Expected of 1t When
Constructive Efforts Begin
Again.

New York, Jan. 23.-If the foundation
of the market is good enough to resist
the combination of bad news and a bear
drive aimed at the weakest point, how
sound is IT likely to prove when con-
structive efforts begin again, asks a
writer in the Odd Lot Review.
That is the question which a study of
the trend of the past week must bring
up In the mind of any thoughtful OBJ
server. Just when the progress of this
bull market Is going to be resumed at
the old rate, it is more difficult to say.
Liquidation coming in on scientific
terms from abroad will act as something
of a brake.
prominent Republicans that the country
this year be not so prosperous as to for
get the ancient theory that true pros
perity can't be attained without the G.
o. p, will act as another brake.
However, we don't think the brakes
are going to stop the progress of the
market vehicle. There are still many sec
tions of the country which are Just be-
ginning to feel real prosperity. The dan
ger of a crazy boom, one which would
turn into a boomerang, has been avert
ed. Appreciation that the security mark
ct in the good rails and the unexploited
industrials offers the sanest place for
the employment of surplus cash, is stead
lily growing. The underlying momentum
is too great to allow anything, even a
Presidential year. to stop this bull mar
ket for long.

WO0LEN MARKET OUTLOOK.
Why Bearish Reports Not to b.

New York, Jan. 23.-The American
Woolen Company has bought the Globe
Woolen Mills of Utica, N. Y. The price
was $25o,0oo. The Globe mills have an
international reputation.
American woolen preferred sold down

been some bearish reports concerning
earnings with the British embargo on
wool as the foundation, says the Odd
Lot Review, that the American woolen
Company is engaged in turning out cloths
for uniforms for the British and French

provided in advance with the necessary
materials. American Woolen preferred
