JOHNSTON LETTER.
Water Supply Inadequate. Po'
tatoes Stored For Curing.
"Work Day to be
Observed.

1t has been estimated that tne toWIl
will use over 100 gallons of water a
minute, and the we'll is found to pro-
duce only 25 gallons a minute, SO
further work will yet have to be done
before the town supply is turned on.
One half of the storage room OF
the large potato curing house is now
filled, and the farmers all seem
pleased with this new method. Unless
sufficient potatoes are sent in to fill
the other section, this will not be
used this year. No doubt next year
all available space will be taken.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gerard Tarrant con-
template moving to Mccormick soon.
Mrs. Hattie Bruce is spending a
while with her daughter, Mrs. Cato.
Mr.. S. J. Watson, Sunday school
superintent of the Baptist church an
nounced .on Sunday that the 4th
Saturday would be "Work Day" for
the Connie Maxwell Orphanage. All
made OIL this day to be given on Sun
day as special offering.
A largely attended meeting of the
w. C. T. U. was held on Friday af-
ternoon at Mrs. j. A. Dobey's home
Mrs. T. R. Denny leading the meet
ing and after the business, a program
on Armistice Day was fittingly car
ried out.
Armistice Day was observed here
by all the public buildings being
closed, and after roll call of STU
dents at the high school, they were
given holiday. Before leaving, short
program on Armistice Day was had.
Thanksgiving Day is to be observ-
ed here by the closing of public build
ings and the majority of the stores
will close. Beautiful services are be-
ing arranged, these to be held in the
Methodist church. A. collection will
be taken for the poor.
1t is great pleasure to everyone
here to learn that Rev. David Kellar
will again be pastor of the Methodist
church. Rev. Kellar is fine and
scholarly preacher and makes a good
pastor in every way, so he is loved
not only by his own flock, but by all
the other denominations as we'll. 1t
is the wish that he could always re-
main here.
Athletics is quite a feature of in
terest in the High School and each
week some team plays. On Friday af-
ternoon the foot ball team and bas-
ket ball team went to Ninety Six u,
play the teams of the high school.
Some of the teachers and friends ac-
companied the jolly crowd. The score
of the foot ball team was to 6 in
favor of Ninety Six, and the basket
ball teams tied, 9 to 8.
The Manual Training class of the
high school now in the second year,
is making some very attractive and
desirable articles, and at the close
of the term the exhibit will rival
that of any larger institution. A
large porch swing that was made by
Mr.. John Howard Black is on eXhi-
bition in the Farmers and Merchants
Bank.
The Farmers and Merchants bank
has on exhibition some fine corn,
grain and other products beside cot
ton, that has been produced from the
soil here. This shows the farmer what
he can put on his cotton fields next
year.
On Monday afternoon at the Bap-
tist church full report of the recent
state w. M. u. meeting held at Spar
tanburg was given by Mesdames S.
J. Watson, W. j. Hatcher and P. G.
Stevens, these having attended. The
report was given in detail and was eX-
ceedingly interesting.
The regular Wednesday evening
prayer meeting hour will be taken
up by these ladies, the pastor having
requested them to give their impress
sions at this time.
Mrs. orrie Sease Quattlebaum was
buried here Wednesday morning, her
death having occurred in Florida al

Blanche Virgins, on Tuesday. The
body was carried directly from the
train to the cemetery where the in
terment was made by the grave Of
