LOCKHART, JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Sept. 3.-Well,
we have had the early and the latter
rains, so there has been enough rain
to finish all the late crops.
/ hear that Pacolet river is up and
out over all the bottom land corn.
This is bad, but it can the helped. 1t
was the same thing last year, but
there is more upland corn being made
than l have known in long time be-
fore. If the corn is all ruined on the
rivers we can't blame anyone for it.,
for God works in mysterious ways his
wonders to perform.
This writer has not been away from
home much these days to find much
news, so l may not be able to give
you anything of much interest. Things
look dull around here and look lone
some as there are several of our men
folks that have gone to Spartanburg
and other places to work on the gov
ernment buildings. With this writer
it is surely lonesome for the only
son 1 had at home and the one that
looked after the farm is with the
Coast Artillery and it leaves this fell
low to look after things generally, so
we have to be at home little more
than we have been and surely this is
hard, but we are going to make the
best of it, and / am going to try to
be like an old man told my mother in

SECOND ONLY TO HOUSE BILL NO. A

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 2o.-Second in Importance
only to the famous House Bill No. Al is the terminal
elevator measure passed by the senate today by which
the establishment of state owned terminals is made
possible.
The Nonpartisans, however, opposed the BILL on
the theory that they against direct taxation for the
establishment of such industry, demanding instead
the construction Of elevator through the issuance
of bonds
The debate proved interesting, though continuing
only half an hour.
The fate of the bill is uncertain in the house It
will be supported there by the minority as well as by
some Nonpartisans.

Dakota would not suffer to be taxed

called attention to the. fact that two
years ago the state found itself con-
fronted with 100000 indebtedness, In

900 in department payrolls.
This was taken care of, stated
Kretchmar. by an act authorizing the
board Of eQualization to increase the
assessed valuation 20 per cent this
