charter was for a period Of twenty
five years. For some time the leg
islature granted new charters to the

this was simplifed a few years ago
by the passage of a general law
covering the granting or amending
of new charters.

Mr.. J. Lem Kay of Belton under
went an operation for appendicitis

afternoon. His many friends in this
section will be delighted to learn
that the operation was entirely sue
cessful. Mr.. Kay is district superin-

Mr.. S. E. Latimer is critically ill
with pneumonia at his home near
Broadmouth and little hope is enter
tanned for his recovery. Two of his
children are also ill with pneumonia.
The local office of the P. & N. rail-
way was entered by robbers last
night and relieved Of about $25 in
cash. Entrance was made by break
ing a glass in one of the windows.
The robbers did not seem to want
anything but cash as none. of the
freight was molested.

slight stroke of paralysis last Fri
day. While still i'll she is thought to
be improving slowly. Mrs. Trayn-

The condition of the streets is a
splendid argument in favor of paw
ing in Honea Path. A constitution
al amendment was passed two years
ago to allow Honea Path to assess
abutting property for this purpose,
and we can find no better time to do
it than now.
On account of the continued rains
of the past few weeks the roads are
almost impossible in many places.
There seems to be a general COM
plant on account of the bad roads,
and the people who have seen the
result accomplished in Greenville
county by making permanent roads
are highly in favor of doing the
same thing in this section.
It is rumored that an additional
passenger train will be put on by
the P. & N. road on February 4th.
The new train will pass here going
west about 7:35 p. m, and going
east about 8:15 p. m. This is ru-

employed to a limited extent, but not
as staple leather Shoe manufac-

cultures estimate that there are up

stroyed in the digestive tracts of other
carrion-feeding animals, as the dog,
cat, hog, chicken, or OpOSsum.
1t Is true that buzzards may carry

minor part in the transmission or an

domestic animals that have far greater
possibilities as spreaders of the dis
ease. The fact that anthrax may be
carried by flies Is more than sufficient
to explain the most severe epidemics.
Obviously, it is unfair to attempt to

zard. Considering the multitude OF
ways in which these diseases may be

diseases would be as widely distribut-

Attacks in the South by buZzards
upon living farm animals indicate that
there are too many buzzards there for

FERTILITY SOLD FROM FARM

Nothing else has mitigated so much

the utter disregard of the fertility SOLD
