Miss Eunice Macaulay, who has

Her friends will be glad to know

Our attention has been called to
an error in the figures given in an
article recently published showing
the price Of cotton seed oil. This ar
ticle stated that the oil mills were re-
ceiving $1.43A per gallon for the
cotton seed oil, while as h matter Of
fact the mills receive only $1.31A
for their product. The error was evil
| IDENTITY made by the newspapers car
rying the original article. from which
we gained our information. The oil
is sold by the mills at 17hc. per
| pound, the price fixed for the pro-
duct, and there are 7la pounds to
the gallon. Multiply the price by
the weight and it will be seen that
the price per gallon is $l.31h, and
not $l.43 u, as was stated in the
article published by us last week.
Deputy Sheriff B. r. Moss and
Rural Policeman Littleton last Mon
day cut down two large distilleries
in the Jocassee section. One Of the
plants was located only about 400
yards from the Jocassee Inn. This
was an old, run-out still, everything
having been cleaned up but the cop
| per still and appliances for making
| whiskey. The still and other articles
were cut UP and destroyed. There
| were some 200 gallons of what is
known as spent beer" here, this
| stuff being run back for use In later
runs Of whiskey making. Another
plant was located not very far from
this plant, and 1T, too, was destroyed.
No one was present or seen in the
vicinity of either plant. The plant
near the Inn was evidently an old
one, showing signs Of having been in
operation at least for several months,
| while the other one, which was To-
Gated about four or five hundred
yards from residence, appeared to
have been new plant, the run made
shortly before the officers got there
being probably the first at that place.
We are in receipt Of personal
letter from our young friend, Lieut..
Lewis G. Harrison, now Mt Camp
Beauregard, La, in the quartermas-
ter's department. Mr.. Harrison is
sadly disappointed in having been
recommended for honorable dis
charge from the service, owing to i'll
health. Recently Mr.. Harrison was
at his old home in Walhalla on sick
furlough, and Immediately on his
sufficient recovery he returned to
camp. Now, however, while he has
improved greatly, the army physi-
clans consider his present physical
condition not sufficiently robust to
justify active military duties. Mr..
Harrison has declined the offer of
discharge, and is bending his ener-
gies to complete restoration Of his
health so that a little later he may
be able to resume active work and
| "follow the flag" to France Lewis
| Harrison Is one Of our boys whom we
have watched with peculiar degree
Of pride, and in his disappointment
| over present conditions we can and
do sympathiZe with him. We hope
that he may soon regain his full
health and strength, and that he may
be able to rejoin his comrades i'm ac-
tive service. Few young men of the
army have made greater sacrifices
than young Harrison in endeavoring
| to serve their country. He has done
his best thus far, and we know that
the future will find him arduous in
his endeavOrs for service and 'llnwill-
ing at any time to do for his country
