"Fidelis," as Philathea is an inter-
denominational name. The follow
ing committees were appointed: Mem

a collection be taken at each monthly

Spann, about two miles from town,
presented The Herald Saturday with
decidedly the finest specimens of
sweet potatoes that we have seen this
season. The four potatoes weighed
exactly twenty-five pounds, and Tobe
says these were not his largest. as
the biggest ones went to the "cap'n. "
The largest one he weighed tipped
the scales at eight pounds.
Tobe says he had about a quarter
of an acre planted in Porta Rlca
vans. He harvested between seven
ty-five and eighty bushels. The pota-
toes were grown from sprouts; no
vines were used.

pigs which he did not have serum
enough to treat have died of cholera.
Cholera is on three sides of him but
his hogs which were treated are un-

sive use of serum in their community,
many of the farmers wait a week
or so and when they see that the
treated hogs do not die they put in

of Denmark, died in hospital in Co.
lumbia several days ago as a result
an a wound inflicted, at Denmark on
the previous day. The unfortunate
occurrence appears to have been en-
tirely accidental, and no blame has
been attached to anyone.
Mr.. Myrick and number of other
young men had been out riding, and
when they returned, the car was left
at the garage of J. w. Northrup, in
Denmark. Mr.. Myrick, according
to what is said to- be his own version
of the matter before he died, took
pistol from his pocket and handed it
to Mr.. Hardwick Hope, one of the
companions in the automobile ride.
In passing the weapon it was dis
charged, the ball striking Mr.. N.Y.
rick, and infiicting fatal wound.
He was hurried to a hospital in
Columbia, where he died the follow
ing morning. No inquest was held.

he grew this year. The field contains
four acres, and Mr.. Smith reports the
enormous yield of eighteen bales OF
cotton from this acreage.
Mr.. Smith planted the field in
Cleveland big boil cotton, which he
states he has spent several years in
improving. The land was heavily
fertilized, but the yield was so great
that profit of four hundred dollars
per acre was realized. The seasons
this year were not very favorable, and
this Mr.. Smith says reduced the pro-
duction slightly.
