MAKES LUCKY FIND.
Man Discovers Several Gallons Good
Old Bourbon that Had Mellow
ed With Age.

Its accuracy cannot be vouched for,
but the story is going the rounds that
Dillon man was tearing down an
old building some days ago and came
across a crocus sack so rotton with
age that when he attempted to pick
it up the cloth crumbled in his
hands. There was something in the
sack and upon closer investigation he
discovered a wooden keg. There was
liquid in the keg, and full of keen an
ticipations the man drove in the
bung, when 10! there came out an
aroma the like Of which the ancient
kings had never smelled. He poured
some out and as the LIQUID tIickled
slowly down the sides Of the cup he
smiled, and it was deep smile, full
of joy. 1t was good old bourbon rye,
and how long it had lain there
no one could tell. But 1t had the
age, and it had mellowed in the
wooden keg, and there was none like
unto it anywhere in the land. The
story has been told and retold to
groups of men on the streets, in the
offices, the stores and other gather
ing places and it never fails to hold
the unflagging attention of the
hearers. AS they listened men have
been seen to hold their breath and
click their chops" and at its conclu-
sion they have heaved pathetic sighs.
Building Inspector Jackson has been
besieged with enquiries as to who was
tearing down old buildings and there
have been quiet searches throughout
the community, bat the identity of
the lucky man remains a mystery.

SEVEN on ONE WARRANT.
Horny Man Accuses Them of Having
Whipped Him.

Horny Herald.
The Herald can now give further
information about the arrest Of a
number of defendants last week un-
der warrant for assault and battery
sworn out by j. Charley Lewis. On
last Wednesday seven different de-
PENDANTS were brought before the
magistrate in Conway and were re-
quired to say whether they demanded
preliminary investigation or would
waive that and give bond for their
appearance at the court next week.
The seven defendants named in this
warrant are Fate Heniford, Willie
Gerald, Dock Gerald, Shelton Ger
raid, Worth Gerald, Ounce Faulk
and Dave Heniford; and the affidavit
upon which the warrant was issued
states in effect that near Loris on
the night of February 10, 1920, these
defendants whipped the prosecutor
with a leather buggy trace, and that
they held the prosecutors wife,
amanda Lewis, and kept her from
giving an alarm or rendering her hus-
band any assistance when he was as
saulted by the defendants.
The defendants waived prelimi-
nary hearing here before the magis-
trate and each gave bond for the sum
of $500 for their appearance at the
court next week. These defendants
are well known farmers of Loris, r..
F. D. N. /. They have employed at
torneys to represent them in their de-
fense and they deny that they had
anything to do with the. difficulty.

Oak Grove.

The Oak Grove school closed down
last Thursday for about ten days on
account of bad colds among many OF
the children and the fear that influ-
enza might also break out in the
school. There seems to be very little
flu so far in this immediate commun-
ity, but it was deemed wise by the
school officials to take the above
step as a precautionary measure.
There will be preaching next Sun
day at Oak Grove by Rev. c. S. Eel
der in the building now occupied by
the school.
S. w. Epps of Latta was in this
community one day last week.
Miss Mary Ray Carlisle of Ben
nettsville is visiting at her sisters,
Mrs ]. S. Fair.
Rev. G. 6. Fielder was in this sec
ton last Friday in the interest of his
work.
The farmers seem to be determined
to make greater efforts this year than
hitherto towards growing cotton
crop. None of them seem to have re-
duced their fertilizer bills.

and after supper went to the well.
He did not return and upon investi-
cation, he was found dead at the
well. Mr.. Page was prosperous
young farmer of this vicinity. He
was survived by a wife and baby
son. The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the home by Rev. E. T..
Mason and interment was made in
the family burying ground.
One of the first persons to succumb
to influenza in this community was
Mr.. Wallie Miller, the II year old
son of Mr.. Allen Miller. All that
could be done was done by relatives
and friends but to no avail for God
decreed and as He had given so He
took away. We can't understand why
one So young and just in the bud of
youth should be called but He knows
best. Wallie is survived by father,
brothers and sister. One year ago his
mother died of influenza and this
year the dread disease claimed anoth-
er. At this writing the father and
two brothers are quite sick but are
On the road to recovery. Our deepest
sympathy is extended the family in
this hour of sorrow.

QUARANTINE CONTINUED.

At a joint meeting Tuesday of City
Council and members of the Board OF
Health it was decided to continue the
quarantine until there was some fur
ther abatement in the flu situation.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of discussing the advisability of
lifting the quarantine, but upon in
formation from physicians that sew
eral new cases had developed in the
last few hours it was decided to con-
tinue the quarantine.
There are very few cases in Dillon,
although it is said that there are quite
a number of cases in the surrounding
country. The situation is well in hand
however, and there is no occasion for
alarm.
