Mills Buying Seed?

Columbia, S. c., April 28-Farm-
ers of the south have been making
a spirited fight to hold their cot
ton and cotton seed until the price
advanced to a point where they felt
that they could sell at profit. 1t is
of considerable interest that some OF
the farmers have been able to get a
good price for their cotton seed pro-
yided they would invest money in
Liberty Bonds. The following state
ment is from letter from Mr.. 0.
E. Wannamaker of st. Matthews,
Chairman for Calhoun County, writ
ing to Mr.. Chas. H. Barron, the
State Chairman:
"Mr. C. Fitzsimons voluntarily told
me to tell my people to buy Victory
Liberty Bonds and he would buy
their seed in car lots up to 18th day
May at $71.00 per ton t. o. b. at
shipping point. They promptly SOLO
him about 500 tons at this place and
he has had to call a halt until seed
could be handled. I think you might
get Mr.. Elliott to join you and induce
Swift & Co. and the Union Fertilizer
Company to crush some seed. I can
sell the Bonds if I can get seed to
move--I believe Mr.. Fitzsimons is
doing all he can"
The Union Seed and Fertilizer
Company l:ve advised they have
never stopped buying seed and are
now actively N the market.

Marion, S. C. A number OF, the offic-
ers and men wore the Croix De Guer-
re and. many others, it was said, had

The 117th was first engaged in

TWO LITTLE GIRLS
BURNED TO DEATH
Honea Path Children Lose Lives IL
Barn. ~

Honea Path, April 25-The homes
of ]. r. Lust and w. H. Monroe were
shocked esterday in the death of
daughter from each. The little girls
four and five years old, were burned
to death when the barn in which they
were playing caught and burned to
the ground. The fathers Of the chill
dren were in town on business and
there was no one, near enough to the
barn when it caught to render any
assistance.
1t seems that Mrs. Lust had left
some matches in the fork OF tree
near the wash pot where she had had
some washing done and the children
took them and were playing around
the barn. In some way in their play
one of the matches struck the tie
of a bale of cotton and set the cotton
on fire. There were several children
anu Tic I"o "ho AoSN sASA@
lives were over behind some of the
bales of cotton, which were under a
closed shed of the barn.
When the fire started, all way OF
escape for the two little girls was
cut off. By the time the children's
mothers reached the barn it was in
flames and they were unable to rem
der any help. In few minutes the
little ones had burned to death.
Little Jennie Lust was one of sew
en- children of Mr.. Lust, while Mr..
Monroe only had two children and
loses his little daughter, Marie. Mr..
Lust, the owner of the barn, lost
nine bales of cotton, two or three tons
of guano, all of his feed for his stock,
a buggy and carriage and some farm
| imple -nents.
The little remains of both children
were buried today in the family bur-
ial ground, services being conducted
by the Rev. B. F. Allen and the Rev.
T. w. Munnerlyn, pastors in Honea
Path.
