Some You Don't know-Condensed
for Quick Reading.
Nh. C. L. Cobb, president Of the Peo-
pies Bank and Trust Company Of York
vile and cashier Of the Peoples Ma
tioral Bank of Rock Hill, flew from
Rock Hill to Charlotte with the OBJ
servers bird man last week. Some OF
Mr.. Cobb's friends, who either lacked
the opportunity or who were too timid
to take advantage of it were inclined
to reproach him on account Of his RASH
ness. OF course, everybody is fond OF
Charlie, and no one could contemplate
with pleasure the idea of him being all
smashed up as the result Of a fall out
Of the blue. 1t naturally gives them
the creeps to think about 1t. In the
case of some people such fall would
not make much difference; but not so
with Charlie. If he should take such
tumble, the banking world would lose
one of it's hustlers and bank stock
would take tumble. Some Of those
fellows call me fool" said Mr.. Cobb
to Jim Jenkins. "Why it was the
greatest experience 1 ever had" he
added. well, since you have had the
experience" commented Jim, Il believe
would let It go at that, and not go
up again." This conversation was over
the telephone: well, l believe you
think Just like the others; but 1 will
have to admit that you are a little
more considerate in the way you ex-
press your opinion"
Stealing Cotton From Field.
There is more complaint this year
about cotton being stolen from the field
than there usually is," said J. F. Car
roll. farmer Of Yorkville Mo- 2, Il
have heard of a number of farmers
whose cotton pile left in the field over
night has been found diminished the
next morning and I have had the same
experience myself on more than one
occasion. The situation is really alarm
ing" .'-...
Asked About the Horn. '..s
i ProKfihept family Of Yorkville. was
discussing the appearance of an acre.
plane over the town a few days ago.
The wife had never seen an aeroplane
and somehow or other she had conceiv-
ed the idea that it was machine like
rrto an automobile or Ford. The con-
Y. .'sa ton turned to the speed OF the
machine and it's powerful motor and all
that sort of thing. The wife became
very much interested and finally she
inquired of the husband, "has it got a
horn?"
Carried off Many Ribbons.
"Our horses did quite we'll at the
state fair in Columbia last week" said
/ Henry B. James, senior member of the
well known live stock firm Of James
Bros. in talking it over with Views
and Interviews yesterday. I'VE mad
three entries in the horse show and
races at Columbia, and we were award
ed two silver cups and twelve blue rib
bons. Our three entries Senator Sim
rill,' "Topsy' and Sam Newman were
much admired and we are naturally
very proud of them. The horses are
now at the Spartanburg county fair
and I had notice this morning that
thev are going good over there. Blakely
