LAND Is LEASED
Ar GREENVILLE
Believe Effort Will Be Made to Drill
for Oil Soon.

Greenville, May 28.-The leasing
of sixty-three acres in the upper sec
-tion of Greenville County by ]. G.
Ketcham of Duluth, Mimi, with the
agreement that the owner Of the
land, Clarence M. Wing, shalle re-
ceive rs per cent. of the net profits in
the event Ketcham drills the land and
strikes oil brings a possibility that
drilling for oil may begin here within
a short time.
Mr.. Ketcham is now in Duluth,
having left Greenville after signing
the lease, which runs for fifty years.
Mr.. Wing is also out of town. An
agreement was also signed giving
Kctcham an option on the land for
one year within which time he can
purchase it for 100000.
A rock quarry lies on part Of the
land and Mr.. Ketcham, under the
terms of the lease, can also quarry
rock by giving Mr.. Wing 10 per cent
of all stone and rock quarried and
shipped. However, it Is believed, that
the Minnesota man is interested in
thep disability of striking oil as the
lease guarantees Mr.. Wing return
of not less than $40. The tract of
land is located in the foot hills OF
Blue Ridge Mountains. about eleven
miles from Greenville and near the
town Of Travellers Rest.

Rowland Loses Good Citizen.

News was received in Dillon Fri
day of the death Of A. D. Mckenzie
of Rowland. Mr.. Mckenzie had been
in poor health for the past several
years, but his health had improved
recently and the news of his death
came as a great shock to his many
Dillon friends. Mr.. Mckenzie was
one of Rowlands most prominent and
progressive business men. He was
actively identified with many inter
ests in Rowland and also farmed on a
large scale. He was a man of high
sense of honor and was held in the
highest esteem by everybody who
kenw him. Mr.. Mckenzie was a son
Of the late Sandy Mckenzie and was
born and reared near Elrod. He
moved to Rowland when quite
young man and although only AZ
years of age at the time of his death
he was so successful in his business
ventures that he left a large estate.
Mr.. Mckenzie was never married. He
was a cousin of Mrs. S. c. Henslee
and Miss Isla Mckenzie of Dillon.

BIG CROWD ATTENDS RACES
Best Races in History Of Association
Attended by Record-Brealing
Crowd.

The attendance at the races last
Thursday was estimated at from
$500 to 1000. The grand stand was
packed and hundreds of spectators
lined the ratings on both sides of
the home stretch. 1t was an order
ly crowd, and so far as can be learned
there were only two arrests. A couple
of young chaps from Florence were
indulging in the Liquid refresh
ments" pretty freely and attracted the
attention of the cops. They put up
bonds but did not appear for trial.
The races were clean, many OF the
owners driving their own horses. and
if there was any betting it was not
noticeable. Mayor Hamer had On an
extra force of cops and word was
circulated that plain clothes men
were mingling with the crowd and
this had a tendency to minimize the
betting.
There were three classes: 2:3Q
trct; 2:20 trot and 2:17 pace. The
first class was divided into two divi-
sions as there were IA horses entered
in this class.
In the first division of the $3.50
class, the winners were: First, Silky
Nan, owned by ]. H. McLaurin; Sec
ond, Cochato Watts. owned by M. S.
Britt; third, Toughfoot Bellini, own
ed by Laurinburg stables; fourth,

by E. C. and John Rogers; third,
Kinsbroke, owned by T. G. Covington
fourth, Van Dire, owned by j. T.

In the second division of the 2:30

The judges were: L. P. Christman,
Dave Kelly and C. L. Bevel. The
starter was Fred Shrieves of Mt. Hol-
ly, N. ]. He is starter on the grand
circuit and his skill was much in
evidence in each race. Mr.. Shrieves
congratulated Dillon county on its
fine horse flesh and the splendid be-
hayior of the large crowd present. He
stated that Dillon was the best horse
town in the Carolinas. The purse for
each race was $3.50 with S per cent.
entrance fee added to each purse.

Improved Condition of Livestock.

Clemson College. May 27.-The re-
ports of the Bureau Of Crop Estim'
ates show that there has been a de-
cided decrease in mortality and gen
eral improvement in the condition OF
livestock in South Carolina during
the past several years. Recent fig
ures from the office Of B. B. Hare
South Carolina Field Agent of the
Bureau, show that only 2 per cent OF
horses and mules, per cent. of cat
tie and sheep, and SIS per cent. OF
swine died during the year from dis
ease exposure, or neglect. This is
considerably less than formerly, and
less than the average of mortality for
the United States, except in swine
the national swine mortality being
about the same, or So per cent. The
condition of horses and mules in the
state on May / was 81 per cent. OF
normal cattle and sheep 81 pei, cent
swine so per cent.
1.-THE decrease in mortality oi
swine during recent years is attribu'
table," says the report, largely te
the activity of county agents Of the
Extension Service of Clemson College
in the use of serums, which have
meant much in minimizing or check
ing serious outbreaks of hog cholera
In this connection it is safe to say
that the faithful work Of county
agents in the use of serums to i'm
munize hogs from cholera has un,
doubtedly saved the state many times
over every dollar that has been put
into their salaries.
