An Interesting Let
ter From Cateechee


for recruits Dan Cupid had not been
doing much of late, consequently the
old miller had about decided he would
have to engage in other business, when
on last Sunday April z, about a. m.
daylight" time,' he received call to
come to the residence of Mr.. Clyde Gill
strap, in the town of Norris, at once.
Just as soon as the old miller could get
a band" around his neck and "choke
rag tied, he got behind hard tail"
and lit out. On his arrival at the ap-
pointed place the old miller found Mr..
Ralph Gilstrap waiting with "turn"
he had stolen from Mr.. Charlie Holden
Of near Norris.
AS the town OF Norris is without
marshal and the old miller doesn't re-
ceive any part of the property in the
deal, there would be no criminal act on
his part to turn the grain into malt, put
them under their own wine and fig
tree" and let them go to work for
themselves. So by the authority of
writ from the Probate Judge, j. Alonzo
Brown, N. p, granted Miss Callie Hol-
den the coveted pleasure Of cooking for
Mr.. Ralph Gilstrap the remainder of
their lives or so long as Raph keeps it
to cook. The bridegroom is son of
Mr.. and Mrs }. w. Gilstrap of Norris
and is a deserving young man, while his
bride is the eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charlie Holden of Norris and is
just as smart as she is handsome.
Two war recruits arrived at the dom.
icile of MIR. and Mrs. Thomps Maddox
of Norris last week. Thomps named
them William Henry and John Thomas
and saws while old Kaiser Bill is advo-
eating raising another army in Ger
many he is doing his bit for America.
Look out, Clyde Gilstrap, you twill
have to either come again or give the
belt to Thomps.
The writer made n flying trip to Co.
iumbia last week. While there we had
the pleasure of seeing the last tokens
or respect in honor Of the father of our
country, George Washington, and that
heroic Wade Hampton and the Dauph-
ters of the Confederacy. We also vis-
tied the hospital for the insane, the
pen'tentiary and other places of note.
we saw some of the finest cattle we
ever saw at the state hospital dairy.
we saw cows that weighed over seven
teen hundred pounds and one heifer two
years old that weighed LOO pounds.
They have 95 milk cows, seven heifers.
~ calves and four pure bred Holstein
Dulls. The records of the milkers we
were told by the manager of the dairy
IS from l38to l34 gallons of milk dav.
each. One pure bred Holstein COW,
Annie Johannah Spofford gave 72O lbs.
or mix and 37a lbs butter in days; her
age is sG years. Queen Lady DeKeol
age 8 years, gave 585 lbs milk and
80 Sd lbs butter in days. Edith Ma
pie Crest Pontiac Arts, age l year. II
months, days, gave 621 $40 lbs milk
and 27 Sd lbs butter in 7 DAYS. We
were tod that the milk and butter was
weighed by authorities from Clemson
College. Ray Apple Klondyke 9Th is a
son of the most famous bull in the
world and can be seen at this dairy
They have different grades of cattle at
TINS dairy but the pure bred Holstein ia
the finest stock they have.
lnasmuch as The Sentinel smoke
ABOUT county candidates last week il
might be well enough to say that rumor
mas 1T that Cateechee will verv likelv
furnish candidate for the house of
representatives and one, for the office Of
probate judge, while the town of Norris
may furnish one for county supervisor
in the coming primary. r
