1--WE have on quite building boom
at Great Falls" said Chief of Police
j. Cal Steel of that place ard former
ly of Yorkville who was in Yorkville
this week attending court. Some
thing like sixteen store buildings are
now under construction at Great
Falls" Chief Steele went on to say,
"and 1 understand the mill manage
ment there is making arrangements to
build some thirty or more dwelling
houses. We don't know anything
about hard times at Great Falls"
Turkeys.
'Apropos of Thanksgiving Gray
Moore, we'll known young farmer of
Bethesda township was talking about
turkeys the other day. Turkeys" he
said. "are much moro trouble to raise
than chickens and therefore they COM
mand a higher price. In tie first
place, they lay their eggs in very Sc
cluded spots and one loses much
time in finding the nests. Then when
they go to setting they must be watch
ed very carefully. The mother turkey
with her young ranges very eXten-
sively and in nine cases out of ten are
likely to become the victims of some
ncighbor's log. 1t is rarely the case
that one raises half the turkeys that
are hatched. That's why they bring
higher prices per pound than chickens
and that is why l for one don't care TO
be bothered about raising them"
She Put on the Fan.

ace of spades and possessed of voice
equal to the loudest horn that almost
any automobile dealer sells, was testi-
flying in case in the court of general
sessions for York county growing out

became of you?" Solicitor Henry asked.
The negro woman looked at the vet
eran prosecutor in some wonder and
amazement and then she repeated:
"Whar wuz ah?'
Yes where were you?" queried the
solicitor.
"Ah was putin on de FAN" returned
the colorcd woman.

fast dat de wind jest nachurly famed
me rs ah proceeded un nah way. OATS

More About Phillips.
Young Jim PAGE, son of Jas. \. Page
Of Glover, who is assistant manager
Of the football team of Erskinc COL
Irgc. wants tho world to know about
his friend "Dody'' Phillips who dc.
serves a place or any old -Nll Amcri-
can foot ball team that might he
picked. Jim writes Views and Inter
views from Erskine:
"While Dodc' was Babe Ruth
ground YOrkville this last summer he's
even better on the foot ball field than
on the baseball diamond. Phillips has
crossed every goal in the state, some
thing that Furman, the state champ
ions can not boast Of, Clemson hold
ing them to 90 score. Furman beat
us 42-7 the first of the season but that
WAS before Erskine opened up and only
fifteen men had reported for practice.
Carolina beat us a week later l3-7 II
the referee had been on his job ErS-
kline would have won 7-G, Sol Meter
admitting 1t himself Since then Phil
lips and Erskine have won from every
team in the state. If Phillips plays
for Yorkville next summer and plays
rs good at baseball as he has at foot
ball there will be no team in South
Carolina that can beat Yollivillc. |
hope Yorkvillc and Glover can get
him again"

raise a crop and has not got those

whether lie buys them for cash or on
credit, he has to pay for them with
MONEY So taken altogether, il Seems
