DOG RETURNS HOME
! AFTER LONG STAY
Animal Sold in Greenwood to Camden
Sportsman Goes Back After
Ten Months

The State.
Greenwood, Oct. 3.-The cat that
came back had nothing on a fox
hound which returned from Camden
in the lower part of the state to the
kennels of R. l.. Barmore, prominent
planter and breeder of pedigreed fox
hounds of Donalds, a few days ago,
after an absence of ten, months. After
his long absence the dog suddenly
appeared at breakfast time at the
Barmore kennels, jumped up on his
old master, responded to his name,
and gave every evidence of dog JOY
at being back.
Ten months ago the hound was
sold to- Camden sportsman. A few
DAYS later he disappeared. Until his
sudden temperance here his absence
had been mystery. Mr.. Barmore
is at a loss to explain where the dog
spent the ten months or whether he
has been "wild dog" making h.S
own living in the woods or being at
tached to some pack.

A BALE OF COTTON
AND A BLAZING MATCH

Wednesday morning while Mr.. Ed
Harris, young man of the county,
son of Mr.. Pink Harris, was on his
way to town with a bale of cotton,
his companion, another young man,
struck a match to light his cigarette.
The match set fire to the cotton and
the young men threw the bale off the
wagon, near Mr.. Will Caldwells
home. After succeeding in putting
the fire out Mr.. Harris took his badly
damaged bale, burnt and torn, back
home. l is bad and dangerous prac-
ice to strike match on bale of cot
ton, or to smoke where there is cot
on. The cigarette habit has been the
cause of many fires.

The Rotarians

The Newberry Rotary club held Its
regular bi-weekly luncheon in the
grill room of the Newberry hotel on
Wednesday afternoon at l so O'Clock
with practically every member pres
ent.
The principal business to come be-
fore the club at this meeting was the
reports of the president and secretary
on the district convention of Rotary
clubs, which was held in Lynchburg
Va. last week. Interesting reports
on the convention were made by Pres
ident Ben Cromer and Secretary Ha
Kohn, and it is needless to say much
of benefit will accrue to the local
club through fhe suggestions con-
tained in these reports.
On behalf of the club, RotarlaH
Sidney j.. Derrick presented to Pres
ident Ben Cromer a gavel, which was
accepted by Rotarian Cromer in q
few well-chosen words.
On motion of Rptarian Zach Wright
the club voted to change its bi-weekly
luncheon days from Wednesday tc
Tuesday, this change becoming .effec'
tive with the next luncheon. At that
time, the matter of having weekly
instead. of bi-weekly meetings, as al
present, will be considered.
Owing to the large amount of bus
mess to come before the club at this
meeting, and the absence of the Off
cial "hymn-h'ister," Rotarian Earle
Babb, the musical part of the pro
gram was somewhat dwarfed, but Ro'
tartan Ben Dorrity saw to it that
several songs were interspersed 'twiXt
the talking and eating.
The next regular luncheon will be
held on Tuesday, the 18th inst.
