sons were trapped in the building
marked for destruction. They reached
the roof. Firemen were made aware
of their predicament and stretched, n
great net to catch them. They wefe
hidden to jump. But they hesitated.
The building was high. They faltered
and went back on the roof. The
smoke became stronger, the flames
nearer. 1t finally became apparent to
them that there was no other means Of
salvation except to jump and one by
one they landed safely in the net.

of prosperity just the same, and real
estate sales and sale of other property
are being constantly recorded.

Hogs Bring Big Money.
II have recently attended an auc-
tion sale of South Carolina hogs at
Kinards, NewBerry county," said Dis
trict Farm Demonstration Agent A. A.
McKeown who was talking it over with
an Enquirer reporter On Southern
train the other night coming into
Yorkville. "a large number of fine
bred hogs, South Carolina bred too,
were sold at auction at this sale. 4
number brought $500 and $4OO each and
one brought $615. OF course they were
all bought for breeding purposes. The
thing that impressed me about the
sale though was the great interest that
the farmers over the state are taking
in. hog breeding now as compared with
several years ago. Why five years ago
the average South Carolina farmer
would have told you that you were
crazy if you talked about paying as
much as 5000 for a hog"

stars. That service flag should be
taken down and put in n safe place to
be preserved as a historical record.
There may come a time when Yorkville
will decide TO build a city hall and it
might be desirable to place the service
flag in the corner stone. Practically
all of the boys who went from the

TO take down the flag and preserve
